I adopted a dog from a blacksmith and brought him home...
But then made a bolt for the door!

"Make a bolt for" means to run away quickly, while blacksmiths literally make bolts (metal fasteners)! Blacksmithing is one of humanity's oldest professions, dating back about 3,500 years. Blacksmiths heat metal to over 2,000°F to shape it. The phrase "strike while the iron is hot" comes from blacksmithing, meaning to act quickly when conditions are favorable!
