I was totally
shocked that he came back
twice, more shocked that he didn't head for the woods, he would have been gone forever. All my fault, it will never happen again.

One day, not long after he came home, my husband and I crossed over to our bedroom to collect laundry, then turned around to find little Ozzie right at our ankles. We thought that we must not have closed the gate, and went on our way. When the laundry was finished, we took the clothes out of the dryer and went across to hang them in our closet. Who do you think we found right there with us again? We placed him back behind the gate, then took a few steps before stopping and turning around...just in time to see little Ozzie squeezing his front leg and head through the space between the rungs! When he saw us looking at him, he pulled himself back into the kitchen and looked at us with a sheepish little "grin". Jim then stapled screening material over the rungs...problem solved.
We now have a much more attractive wooden dog gate in place, but we have to velcro it shut on a ring that Jim installed due to the fact that Beau taught Gus how to hook the bars with his paw to pull it open. And the saga of escape artists continues... |
My Matese was a climber if she was gated off. This guy is just to smart, all the times I latched that lock to throw out the trash, the lil stinker must have watched. I have him 6 1/2 years and still learning about him.
Your crew lol are just to clever. You have to out fox the lil imps lol.
Gardening time Cody is now in the house, no more trusting locks thinking he's safe. I could never live with myself if he ever got out and never came back. I'm just so grateful twice he came back when I was screaming his name and
shocked that he did.
