Funny Story! I had posted on the Health forum about Zoey's hair loss and subsequent diagnosis. While we were at the vet for that visit, the doctor kept complimenting Zoey on what a good girl she was and how good her disposition was. When we left she repeated to me again that Zoey was a very good dog.
If she could have seen her in action yesterday!!! LOL!
We took our daughter to a near by theme park for the day and didn't want to leave Zo-zo locked up in her kennel all day long so we cleared out the exercise room of anything that could hurt her and put all her toys and supplies in, put up the baby gate and left for the day feeling like she would be okay.
Now we also have a 15 year old Shih-poo who hasn't needed to be locked up for years and we thought he would do what he always does these days and go lay near her so she would know he was still around.
When we got home last night and went to unlock the sliding glass door, there sat Gadget as always, waiting for us. Sitting next to him feeling very proud of herself was Zoey!!!!
My first thought was, "Oh my Gosh! What did she chew up and where did she potty? The pee pads were IN the workout room where she was NOT!" After a fast look around, she hadn't torn up anything and she had done her business on the newspaper underneath our birdcage. (Good girl!)
So then we thought, "How did you climb out, stinker?" We put her back in and sat back to watch. Then I noticed all these little white pieces on the carpet at around the same time that Zoey walked THROUGH the baby gate!
They just don't make things like they used too! What I thought were plastic coated wires were simply plastic and our little escape artist who has never chewed anything but her toys had chewed a Zoey sized hole through it! LOL |
