Thank you for your suggestions Catherine. They are very sensible ideas. I'm not sure about the open window idea, as the windows have been fitted with alarms! The door where I come through hasn't, but the other door to a storage space also has. I daren't disarm the alarms.
There is a little garden building further up, like a shed/chalet. It is falling to bits, and the door is secured with a rope. I could fix it ajar enough for Sally to get through, and wedge it. Old things like skis, surfboards, wood preserver, house paint etc are stored there. That is a thought....but there is only one way in and out. But it might be handy if things don't get better in the long run.
