And what do you think you're doing, sir?
A CERTAIN SOMEBODY has figured out how to delicately push open the low screen blocking the archway into the living room.
A CERTAIN SOMEBODY has been found on his favourite sofa when he was not meant to be in that room.
First time Mum thought she must not have closed the screen properly last time she was in there (and greyhounds can eel their way through remarkably narrow spaces.*) But this morning, who was on the sofa again but that handsome brindle hound, Mr Nosey! And we know the screen was shut last night! And he did it again today!
Cheeky bugger. But he knows we're on to him so let's see what he tries next.
*Unless they're like Miss Shadow and flatly refuse to deal with narrow spaces, leaving us perplexed (especially when our cattle dog would see any slightly open door as an invitation and barge on through.) It took time, training and help from The Boyo but she improved greatly. She also disliked going under things or having her tail touched. When we saw some footage of greyhounds being loaded into starting boxes we went "... oh. She must had some training." I also came across a thread on a rescue greys forum and discovered that a lot of rescues hate half-open doors and gates and dislike anything touching their backsides. She still prefers doors to be more than half-open - but she'll she follow Mr Nosey through a narrower gap! She hasn't tried for the living room yet ..
