Everybody who comes over to our house makes a wise crack about Fort Knox. Even our family members have something to say. And why shouldn't they? After all, we've got multiple chains and locks on every door, pantry, closet, and refrigerator in site (not to mention a security system to monitor open doors)! We generally give the same response – "it's better to be safe than sorry."
On Christmas Eve this year, we almost had a get-away, and I think it finally sunk in. My brother-in-law went outside to get something from the car. He was back in less than 60 seconds. But as he approached the door, something caught his eye; Calvin had followed him out and was hanging out in the neighbor's yard!
Yes, it can happen that fast. And we've found large group gatherings tend to be the most likely times for someone to let their guard down, as if everyone assumes someone else has a visual on Calvin, and before you know it, no one does.
If your house needs to be Fort Knox for your little angel's safety, make it Fort Knox – and don't give a care in the world about what anyone else has to say!
