Opening the gate

We have a hands free gate to keep Dutch in the kitchen and it has a pedal at floor level to open it. As soon as I open the cupboard to get my car keys she runs to the gate and starts banging her foot on the pedal, thank gosh to date she hasn't banged hard enough :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: There determined, wait till she jumps that gate, stick the banging on the pedal, she might just learn HEY I CAN CLEAR THIS EASILY, nothing can stop me NOW especially a darn gate. :twisted: :wink:

When Kels was younger, no baby gate worked if she wanted to go where she wanted too, well springs on her paws and over . 8O :lol:

One incident with her, someone knocked at the front door and she flew over the gate, charged upstairs, ran into my hallstand and the little crystal figurines I had on that flew off and shattered. I had, had them for years and a few were wedding presents, all gone, broken. :( :evil: :roll:

GO DUTCH surprise mom, you can do it, forget the pedal, JUMP.... :P :lol:
Lisa she has jumped it :lol: ,well it was really more like a scramble but she got over :lol: . She has only tried it that once so maybe it was to hard on the belly :wink:
Jean,

Just wait. Once they discover they can go over - that's it. London clears a baby gate with ease. Sam just bulldozes through them normally or would be the one that figures out just sit on the foot pedal and it will open. :roll: :lol: :lol:
Sky actually throws herself over it, sideways... only when she is really excited though. It's hilarious to see her do it LOL
Too funny :lol:
Clever Sheepie!!! LOL!!! :wink:
lol...that is just too funny.....panda just stands there and waits..... :?
Smart girl!
Are we going to start a betting pool on what day Dutch successfully presses the foot pedal?


Our gate is on the door into the cat's room (to protect the litter box and food bowl). The dogs never cross it, even when it is left open for the few minutes it takes to put out more food or clean the litter box. Even when the evil vaccum is started, they don't cross the open gate. I can't figure out why it is working - and it probably won't work any more now that I've mentioned it.

Sending Kelsey over to visit, she can teach that young girl how too without being hard on the belly .8) :wink:

She would also like to know, how is the stuffie supply there, PLENTY? for when she is over there giving duchess tips on baby gates? 8) :lol: :lol:
The opening of anything from a four legged friend. Oh my does that sound familair.

No, not my sheepie. My cat! Yaukey is his name. Weighing in at 20 pounds-long cream fur coat. And a personality that is outta this world.

But this cat manages to get into places/oout of houses with these special paws.He is in trouble 24/7. I was kidding with my brother when I said he had to have thumbs. bUT i REALLY THINKS HE JUST HIDES THEM FROM ME LOL.

His opening of doors got his fat butt in trouble 2 years ago. He manged to get the basement door open (proably pried at it for hours if i know him) and he then snuck out to the foundation of the house and then proceeded to find a hole that was in the house and got loose! I searched all over for that cat. Every1 who met him was devastaed when i told him the story and how I had eventuslly gave up.
Oh and he did have colar with a ghetto name tag. ghetto name tag meaning it was his heart of bravery from his neutering surgery. But it had my cell and his nae. BUT I had to change my cell number and neevr thought to get hima;; new tag. I dont think his vet hands out too many hearts for bravery

Then one day about 2 months since the escape I got a phone call. Friday at about 3 pm. I was suffering from a friends bday night out. So still hungover from a Thursday night out. So I kept ignoring my one friends calls. I could barely crawl away from the toilet. But thank god for text messaging. I always check those. It stated "info about yaukey. found him"
I called her.my heart racing, sweating, emotions filling every part of me. She was at the local shelter. Which I used to stalk asking if ne1 had brought him in. But I guess they 4got about me. But she was just randomly there. Just to look at the pets. We often did this. Why we would torture ourselves by hanging out with the cats our landlords wouldn't let us have, i dont knopw. But I was so happy she was there and saw him. She said she walked in and there he was ina ll his glory.

I was in college at WVU at the time. ANd if ne1 knows nething about the town its located in then they know of the horrid traffic at 3pm on a weekend! I raced there to get him. Good thing I did. They were closing soon and the next day they were going to have to put down the cats that hadn't beeen adopted, etc.

I sprinted into the cat room. Grabbed him. And i think mumbled to the staff hes mine! i had lost him.

Of course, being the cool cat he is-he didn't act happy to be back with his moommy. But I couldn't tell you when the last time I had been so genuinley happy. It honestly restored some faith in me. As my mom said this was no coincidence. I actually believe it was my gram who had passed a few months earlier that helped re-unite us. She suffered from dimentia and normal 89 year old memory loss. But she always remebered Yaukey. Often calling him Yucky, but hey its close. I felt so happy that she enjoyed him and actually remeberd something/somwebody that wasn't from llike 1938 lol. She really liked him. She was his angel that sent us to each other. Love you ga-ga aka grandma to every1 who doesnt call their grandmas A gA-gA LOL.

Oh and he had maged to (of course) get that annoying baby blue collar that stated ":Prince" on it off. Well at least at the shelter he didn't have it. I would like to think that if he did they woulda called the number on it. I called the new owner of my old cell number and told him the story. He was really cool and promised to call me if ne1 called regarding my cat. But he never did. And when I picked him up i htink i was in a state of shock to find him, so i didnt even ask ne QUs. just grabbed him and held on tight. Little brat ifnored me as soon as we got home. Ate a can of food and assumed postion on the couch....
Mom of 3 :D , well someone might win that pool cause I'm sure she will master it LOL

Lisa send Kelsey over we have lots of goodies :wink: and while she's here maybe Dutch can show her how she gets out of her car harness . I bought a doggie harness for the seat belt and she got out of it :twisted: , bought a different kind and she got out of it also :evil: then I smartened up and realized that it was the seatbelt thing that she knew how to press to release the harness :cry: So now I guess I will get a grill and see how long it will take her to dismantle it :lol:
Dutch the Sheepie Magician. Kind of has a ring to it.

My son's dog manages to get tangled up in her seatbelt harness - think knotting it somehow. I pick her up every morning and bring her over for playtime with my three. He forget to leave the seatbelt for me on Friday. :x And I hated not to take her because she needs the socialization.
I took the retractable leash (I hate them) and fed the leash up through the car door handle (one that is attached on both ends, not the lever) and clipped it to her collar. It kept her off of my lap and away from the gear shift. Not as safe as the seatbelt though.
