Our dog owes us a new garage door
My brother relayed this episode - I thought it too funny not to post. To my brother - thanks for letting me share this at your expense (ouch!)

This just in…
Jesse, a beagle of questionable lineage, set about a chain of events today that damaged our garage door and van roof.
Last week our remote in the Ford had stopped working and my wife brought it in for me to replace the battery. I did that and then went into the garage afterwards and set in on the passenger seat.
My wife failed to see it on the seat and went on a short errand with Jesse in the car, leaving the garage door open while she was out.
Upon her return, Jesse got excited and must have depressed the remote button as my wife was pulling into the garage. My wife, thinking that she didn’t have a remote in the car with her, decided that it was me pulling in behind her since I was also out running an errand. She thought that I would see the door closing and hit the button on my remote to open it back up.
Anyway, before she could get all the way in the garage or stop, the door caught on the luggage rack and pulled the door inward, damaging the door. The car roof isn’t too bad though.
So, don’t leave your remotes on the car seat. Or have beagles as pets!
