What would YOU do to get out of one of these?Roscoe proved himself a bit too intelligent for his canine state this week. Jason has christened him Roscoe "Houdini" Little, our beloved escape artist. While we were at the coast (see some pictures of our trip on Gretchen's blog), Roscoe baffled the employees of Dogs Dig It by undoing a latch like this :
...and then opening two doors by turning doorknobs with his mouth...
in hopes of returning to his people pack and get some more cuddles from his girls like this :
The staff found him in the morning waiting in the lobby where we had checked him in the day before- no doubt wondering why we weren't still there waiting for him after his brilliant escape. And what amazes me is, not only that he undid a latch that seems to require a thumb or that he opened doors by turning doorknobs with his mouth, but that he knew which doors to open. "He is a wonderful dog," the staff commented, "gentle, non-aggressive, but he just really wants to be with people." Well, who can complain about that? Ingrid, if you ever read this, you made a good choice not taking him to Australia and putting him in quarantine. I'm pretty sure he'd be in the Outback by now!
Roscoe is uncanny....how does he do it? His mouth must be sore! Sweet puppy that he is, what a problem? Who will care for him when you are gone? You need someone who loves him like you do and will let him stay in the house without a cage!
ReplyDeletei no longer feel badly about his escaping on me...the professionals cannot even keep him corralled.
