My Little Dood...A Laugh A Minute These Days

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I really hope I'm not "overblogging", but Guinness has been going through a really funny stage, and I feel compelled to share with fellow Doodle Nuts. Twice in the past two days Houdini has escaped from his crate while we were out. It's a soft sided crate with a zipper in the front. Both times he was tightly zipped in. Somehow he figured out how to unzip from the inside. It's freakng us out because we can't understand how he does it. The zipper "handles" are on the outside. It's crazy. So, today we planned to go to brunch and church and figured we should just let him stay free since he would escape anyway. We did, and thankfully he was a good boy and no damage. Yesterday he started using the "doggie bells" to tell us he needed to go out. It cracked us up because he figured out to ring the front door bells when he had to "pee" (we take him out on the grass for #1), and he rang the back door bells when he had to poop (we take him out to a kennel in the back for #2). Again, this was totally out of the blue. We had pretty much stopped using the bells because he didn't seem interested. Again, crazy. We just went through our XMAS card picture taking session with the hat and the antlers. He was having none of it. When I finally got the hat on him (lots of treats involved), he refused to even look at me for the picture. Normally he's a total ham, but he was making me pay for the humiliation of that hat. He tried to eat the antlers. Here he is refusing to even look at me.....

Here he is giving me his "mad face"...

Looks like I may have to use photoshop for the XMAS card.

This is too funny and too cute! I love the one where he isn't looking at you!! You should put a 'nanny cam' in your house so you can see how he's getting out of his crate!!! :)
