Background… Jake sleeps in a wicker crate next to my bed.. well not really wicker but the fake wicker. If it was really wicker, he would have destroyed it by now. There are 2 latches on this crate and I usually latch the top one because the bottom stays shut just fine that way. He has never gotten out of it. Brita sleeps in the room on a bean bag chair on the other side of my bed.
The morning routine… I get up and let Brita go out to the center yard and then walk Jake for a bit before putting him in a crate in the sunroom or kitchen.
This morning… I got up late so decided to hop in the shower before doing the dog thing. When the turn the water off I heard sounds from the bedroom that I shouldn’t have been hearing… (if you are tuned into your dogs, you know what I mean… it just didn’t sound right). I quickly dried off and looked in the bedroom and, sure enough, Jake was out of the crate and greeted me so I grabbed him and brought him into the bathroom. Now if he wasn’t still recovering from surgery this would not have been a problem but I didn’t want him to overdo it.
So.. I get dressed, take Jake out and then to a crate and realize th
at I haven’t seen Brita… I went into the bedroom and there she was, inside the closed and latched crate.
So I wonder – how did Jake get out of the latched crate and Brita get in and it’s still latched?? It certainly is a puzzle!!
