weird dog

[akane]

My husband's shiba has developped a rep as being not all there in the head. I was telling Katsu the chinchilla that he was rather dense and might challenge the shiba's title.

I went to go get a drink and standing between the cages blocking the way was the shiba with her head tucked under a cage. I told her to move. She kocked her head, straightened it, and stood there. I bumped her in the hip with my foot. She scooted over so her head was at an even funnier angle with her tail tucked between her legs. Mildly concerned I called Josh to check what his dog is doing. He decided to just pull her out from under the cage.

The cage went with her. :lol: Turned out she had sniffed or laid down on the stand under the cage and hooked her rabies tag. She was thoroughly stuck and who knows how long she had passively been standing there. He got her loose and she walked off dazed. I decided my densest chinchilla is still smarter than the shiba.

At least she didn't panic and drag the cage around!

I once put a horseshoe charm from a key chain on my JRT Chase's collar. He looked very debonair with his "jewelry".

One day he made the mistake of investigating the chicken slop bucket in the kitchen, and the horseshoe hooked the handle. Boy was he surprised when that bucket chased him through the kitchen!

:lol: Reminds me of when my eldest Pyr/? girl hooked the d-ring of her collar on her crate latch, after she'd unlatched it, and then went back in her crate and locked her self in while still connected to the door. It was dark when I entered and I was wondering why her big head was mushed against the crate side. I have no idea how long she was stuck like that but she never once complained.

So we hear from the other room tonight *whine* .... *whine*.... "You just went out" *whiiinnnne* :shock: "She can't be...." *husband goes to check on her* "Yep she's stuck in the cage again" :fainting: The chinchillas are definitely smarter. I think we're going to have to cut a board to lay across the stand. At least she didn't just sit there for hours this time.

I'm not real clear on how that means the dog isn't smart. A dumb one would have panicked and dumped the cage. Any dog can get a collar caught on something.

Smart dog would have learned the first time not to do that again. They posted it just as a funny little thing their dog did.

Sometimes dogs just don't learn lol. I love watching mine do the same dumb thing over and over again. I just sit there impressed.

Where does it say the dog had done this before?

OP is talking about the same dog in the first post. She repeated again.
Only this time, the dog was vocal and got rescused

"Yep she's stuck in the cage again" :fainting:

I just took that as meaning he had gone and done the same thing again :lol:

She does things like this all the time and never learns. In fact I pulled her collar yesterday because she got stuck twice 20 mins apart. I have a board picked out to cover the stand but my husband wasn't around to help me cut the extra foot of length off it. We've been trying to teach her the word ball for 3 years because fetch is about the only interaction she will have with you unless it's about food. After years of obedience, agility, and flyball we decided to give up dog sports.

 

[arachyd]

Ah. I didn't see that 2nd one.

The Newf got his tags caught in a wire cage full of ducklings one year, and...ran all OVER the place with the cage "chasing" him
Well, until I pounced on him and freed the poor babies anyway.

I'm still amazed no one ever got hurt. :feed-ducks:

I'm not sure a 30lb dog on a wood floor could pull that cage and even if she did it wouldn't be far. Sometimes I go to push those cages and end up sliding backward because I'm getting less traction on the floor than it takes to move the cage. Then the gap to move the cage is only slightly wider than the width of the cage (a lot less than the length of it) so if it's not kept turned just right it's only going about 2' before lodging on the oak coffee table and other cage. My akita would have tried to get herself out of it at least for a few minutes but then she doesn't get herself in to those situations and if she does then she doesn't do it twice. In fact she goes to extreme effort not to redo mistakes like that.

Our ten year old dog ran into the screen door the other day Poor girl

I'll see you a screen door and raise a 5 ft diameter tree! No joke, had a blood hound hot on the scent of her border collie brother make it under the bottom wire of the fence & then smack head first into the big ole cottonwood. The tree was fine...and so was the dog.
