let sleeping dogs lie

After a grueling bath, Rumor likes to nap on the spare bed.  When she was a pup, she was terrified of the bath, and in fact would run and hide for about an hour, under the bed after you dried her off.  She’s still no fan of bathing, but she tolerates it now, most of the time.

She’s also overcome her fear of cars, last week when I was getting her ready to take to the dog part at Orion Oaks, she jumped into the back of my Jeep without coaxing.

Dog Blogging: Houdini Edition

Couldn’t figure out how Rumor was escaping from her crate – I’d put her away in the AM, come home at lunch to let her out, and she’d be waiting for me on the couch, or in the back hall, whatever. One Saturday, we crated her, set up the video camera, and went to lunch.

When we came back, she greeted us at the door! BUT HOW?

This is what we saw:

You can’t tell from the video since there’s no timestamp, but she managed to do this within 5 minutes of us walking out the front door, I think the actual time on tape was about 4 minutes 30 seconds.

Needless to say, we no longer crate her, we just tolerate the fact that she likes to eat Christmas ornaments on occasion.
