Take the Dog

Any time the alarm goes off after-hours at the municipal office where I work, the security company calls me at home and I have to go back and reset it. Late at night I got one of those calls. As I was getting ready to head out the door, my husband groggily said: "You're not going down there by yourself at this hour." Just as I was thinking: "How thoughtful of him", he added, "Better take the dog with you."
