| Escaping Callie After Callie got her surgery I pulled out her soft crate that I take if we travel anywhere its actually a bit bigger then the soft sided dog house she normally would sleep in. But I got it out so she couldn't jump on the bed well I am still zipping her in it a night until she is 100% using the stairs which we work on everyday and my bed is pretty high I worry about her hurting herself but she likes to be miss independent and jump. About two or three weeks ago I put her to bed and I hear a little bit of noise when I am going to the bathroom because the bathroom and my bed room share a wall, well after finishing in the bathroom I go to open my bedroom door and there is Callie waiting for me at the door well I brush it off and think I just didn't zip the crate well. So the other night I tuck her in and am talking to my grandma for a second before I go to the bathroom and I hear a weird noise and open my bedroom door and look over to Callie's crate and there looking like a deer in head lights is Callie with her head sticking out of the partially unzipped door and one paw. I know for a fact that I zipped it well this time because I have been paying attention to that. Well I told her no and she backed back into her crated and I zipped her back up. She has yet to do it again but the look on her face when I busted her was way priceless it was so hard not to laugh and I wish I had a camera or my cell phone at the time to get a picture. Just had to share that story with yall.

| Ha! Funny little Yorkie doin' her thing! Wish you could leave a video camera running when you leave her sight and later get to see what happens as she starts to find her way out.

| Sugar had the same type of crate and did the same darn thing. I had to tie the zippers together with a string so she couldn't escape. BTW, she also did the same thing in her KB bag and escaped on the airplane

| She was tethered in so she only got as far as she could drag the bag

Max is like Callie and knows how to get out of his zippered tent. When he was a pup, I put him in the tent in the back seat of my car. My father was driving in a separate car alongside us and saw Max, the little muppet, pop up in the window. Like Callie, his expression was priceless. Would love to have a picture.

| Clever Callie! Levi is a little escape artist too, and zippers sure don't hold him back. I have to safety pin or clip the zipper together on any carrier we use.

| Speaking of escape artists, here is a funny, true story: When my son was young and we lived in Houston, often on Friday nights we would fly to Dallas and visit my parents for the night or sometimes the weekend. One day we stopped at the dime store who had a small pet section and they had hamsters and on a whim and as a result of Danny's begging very effectively, I bought him a hamster and they packed it up in its little cardboard carrier complete with little air holes. I was thinking that once in Dallas, we could stop by a big pet store and buy a hamster habitat, food, etc., and do the set-up at my parents' home and then put that habitat in my big purse-carrier for the flight home. This was before all the airport security we live through today. Halfway through the flight, after Danny had nodded off as he often did on planes, I heard a funny scratchy sound and looked at the box. To my horror, I saw these little teeth biting through the air holes and very quickly and effectively enlarging one as I watched! There was one hole beside that one that was already double its original size! I panicked, thinking the dang thing could eat its way out of there in no time at this rate and could only imagine the panic among the women should it get loose and run throughout the plane. And I worried that if I mentioned it to the stewardess, we might get in trouble with the FAA. We had actually smuggled the box on the plane in my large purse-type carrier! I woke Danny and we tried putting our hands over the holes but the teeth hurt and we couldn't do that. We had to watch for other passengers walking by and the stewardesses as they passed or asked if we needed anything and quickly cover the box. Finally, I requested a blanket and we kept pressing that over the holes as best we could while trying not to suffocate out new little hamster and yet we could hear that constant gnawing sound all the while. It was the most nerve-racking flight I have ever taken! Thankfully, the plane finally made its way to Dallas and we landed, deplaned, got our car and made it to the pet store, as Danny held various articles from my purse over the holes after we had to leave the blanket on the plane. By the time we carried that cardboard box into the pet store, it had many very big holes in it and it was only moments more before one of them would have been big enough for that hamster to get right through. The pet store attendant that sold us the proper equipment could not stop laughing during the entire sale and wanted to keep the hole-filled cardboard carrier! The trip home was far less eventful with the little hamster in a proper little habitat in my big purse-carrier and then he got a really nice, big, big one when we got back home in Houston! I think he even escaped a time or two from that habitat! But thank goodness he didn't escape while on that plane!!! We would have been all over the news probably!
