I have been know in the past to be an escape artist. Mom started with noraml baby gates to keep me in certain parts of the house when us four legged kids are home alone. You know the kind with a diamond grid pattern to them? Yeah, those. Took me no time at all to discover I could easily jump over those. Piece of cake! So next Mom stacked two of those baby gates - one on top of the other. This did not slow me down at all. I figured out I can climb that nice diamond grid. Hehe. So next Mom tried leaving a space between the two stacked gates. That worked for a little bit, but before you know it, that didn't stop me either. Mom adapted again though. Next she found some gates that are 40 inches high and have no cross bars. Now I have to admit those had me stumped ... for a bit. Hehe. I didn't earn the name Pogo-Pip for nothing. I found that by jumping high and higher I could get my front paws hooked over the top of the gate and pull myself the rest of the way. Ha ha ha Mom! You can't stop me. Well, I was wrong. She could. She used the tall gate with a baby gate stacked on top. That has worked for about a year or so ... until today. HA! Today when Mom got home I proudly greeted her at the front door. She first thought she forgot to put the second gate up. Boy was she surprised when she got upstairs to let the others out and saw it still up. She's about just shy of 6 feet and the two gates togehter end at about her chin. She assumes I jumped until I could start climbing the grid on the 2nd gate. She also wonders if this was prompted by a thunderstorm in the area, but I'm not telling her anything. She says she doesn't know what she is going to do with me, but is glad I don't appear to be hurt. Hurt, schmurt. I'm Houdini dog!
Do you have any New Years Resolutions? Not sure if I have resolutions, but here are five things I hope to do in 2011 ...
1. Find ways to get more treats.
2. Take over the middle of the bed.
3. Do away with gates and barriers in the house.
4. Get to the cat's food at least once!
5. Perfect the art of bed zoomies.
I feel number 1 is doable. I've been working on 2. 3 is going to be a hard one. I've learned to get over the gates ... unless Mom stacks them, but doing away with them will take some work. 4 - easy. Just wait until Mom's back is turned, jump the gate and dash across the kitchen and SCORE! I can so do that one. 5 will be the fun one. I will enjoy working on it.
