  • I know what you mean about dogs and open doors. We had a beautiful lab chow mix that was black as coal. She would, every so often get out the door, which was not much of a problem during the day. Opening the door on the car and sitting in the front seat always worked with her. After she would jump in the car and a drive around the neighborhood, she would be ready to go back in the back yard or the house.

    Night time was a different story. If she got out, that was it. You couldn't see her and she knew this. She would run up to you and, just as you reached for her, she would do an about face, and be gone again. She would run at you and swerve at the last second.

    One time we had a snow storm and she got out that night. She tried to play her game but was confused. She would go one way and my husband would follow her. She would change direction and there my husband would be. It was comical watching her trying to sneak up on him. A black dog is hard to hide against a white snowy backdrop.

  • Cindy, she sounds delightful - with a sharp sense of humor!
