Dogs? Door Usage? Alerting Friends to "Wrong" Door Chosen?
.... I have a dog, a small one. And he with two big dogs? If he doesn’t use the back door, sure seems to me it would occur to him that his friends were going out the wrong door....
snipped for focus

Respectfully, as others have posted, not all dogowners use back door to let their dogs in & out of back yard, fenced or unfenced. True for some ppl regardless of weather, season, snow; size & number of dogs, yard conditions, like ice, mud, snow, etc.
If Host or arranged dog-carer routinely took dogs for multiple daily walkies, he MAY never have used back door (virtually or literally) for DOGS.
And may have used back door HIMSELF on limited basis or seaonally, like mild weather, so, (possibly) not in Jan. 30-35F° days.
That said, did Host ALERT FRIENDS that in exiting at back door, they were using the "wrong" door?
IF Host was awake & not severely cognitively impaired &
IF Host was present in room when they used back door,
IF Host was aware friends were exiting door- after game & their get-together concluded - leaving to get in their vehicles to go to their respective homes, or elsewhere - a bar? another house? C-store for ciggies, beer?)
THEN likely imo Host would alert them to "wrong" door.
But what if Host was engrossed in post game TV wrap ups, or in kitchen w dishwasher running; in bathroom w vent fan on high; or in another room talking or texting on phone; or streaming what-ev?
What if, in exiting back door, friends told him – just going out for a ciggie or to stretch legs. No need for Host to alert friends about wrong door. But after ciggies or stretching legs, friends may have succumbed to ____? Whatever CoD.
Personally not drawing conclusions about any of the above possibilities and am open to other alternatives.
