Breaking through the screen door reminds me of the best dog I ever owned, a half Golden and half Yellow lab. I was sitting in my chair one spring day, sliding glass door was open and the sliding screen door was closed. Duke came up to the screen wagging his tail and wanting inside. I looked up and saw him and waved my hand, apparently Duke took this for a signal to come into the house for he burst through the screen ran to my chair and put his head in my lap, his tail pounding the floor like mad.
All I could do was sit there and laugh like an idiot, the wife, on the other hand, was slightly miffed and made me repair the screen.
Had exactly the same dog when I lived in Alabama. He was patiently waiting to be let in at the back screen...when there was a loud clap of thunder.
He came thru the wooden-framed screen door like a locomotive. The whole door had to be replaced...
Great story. They have a solution for that now — screens with a velcro closure that allow your pets to go in and out as they please. They advertise them on TV all the time.
A half Golden/half yellow Lab is a terrific dog. My cousin had one.
Yup, my three doofus’ have barreled through that screen door a time or two.
They just kept smiling.
