My story begins last night after dropping my wife off at night school and swinging by the Toyo dealer to check out a FJ sighting reported to me by my next door neighbor. As I pulled up to the dealership there it was a Black Cherry colored FJ...beautiful. I hopped out of the wifes 323i and left the motor running and my dog Hannah inside. A BIG mistake. As I walk around the FJ checking it out I glance back at the Bimmer and see the 4 ways flashing. I walk over to the car and I'm locked out! Hannah had stepped on the lock button on the console. I try to get her to walk around inside the car hoping she may step on the lock button again but no luck. I go into the dealership and tell the sales guy my story and he says I can take the FJ home to get my keys! I'm ready to go and then I remember the day I'm having. My Westy died on the way home from work, my dog locked me out of the car and who knows what episode #3 will be (totaling the FJ on a test drive). So I declined the FJ and he let me take a new Scion home. I'm still kicking myself.

wew, when I started reading you story I thought it was going to end with the dog knocking the car in gear and striking the new FJ. That would have a been a disaster. I probably just jinxed you. I've had days like that, my wife seems to have more of them though, and then my day gets really bad 
You can only go up, hopefully
You can only go up, hopefully
All I can say is, "thank god I'm not the only one to ever get locked out of the car by my dog!"
I got locked out of our 55 (that FJBen has since killed) by dogs...on top of Rich Mountain in GA. I was plenty of miles from help, etc. Luckily 55s are simple tech and I was able to break in with no damage.
A few years ago my dog locked me out of my old F250 with the engine running on Christmas morning. It took close to 4 hours to get back in. I feel better now knowing that I'm not the only one.
man i had days like that too...lived in co. springs few years ago ...took my 70 bus out on some dirt road 3 hours later hit pavment again (ex wife screaming and yelling) next day backing out of parking space heard pop /clunk...mmmm dont sound good my engine was laying on the ground still running... bad day
