Come one, come all, come down to see the amazing Houndini, a dog so well versed in the mystic arts of escape and illusion that she will be able to disappear and then reappear before your very eyes.
Yes, folks, Houndini is a contortionist, illusionist and champion face licker all in one furry tail wagging package.
Her latest trick? Escaping from a closed bedroom while we are sleeping in the room with her.
But I am going to reveal her secret technique since this one is classic and involved some coaching to get out.
We have a new bed that sits about six inches up off the ground on its frame. Apparently six inches space is plenty enough for a nearly 70 pound dog to squirm in on her side. She slept, literally, right underneath me, below a mattress and a box spring but there she was.
Only thing is that she couldn't get her head around how to back up and get out. So yes, my dog got herself stuck under the bed.
But I think we'll look at it from the other positive side, maybe she was having a dream that she was back in Nazi Germany and needed to hide? Maybe she just wanted to be closer to me but knew she'd get in trouble for jumping up on the bed (momma won't budge on that one) so she squirmed under it.
And boy oh boy was she a happy girl when she got up and could say good morning to us! My regret is that I didn't get my camera before getting her out.
And, oh yeah, she's still working on her escape artist status. She does great in yards when she wants to get out but she's still having trouble with her up close technical skills. In fact, there may be a jail break in the works but I'm not at liberty to discuss it yet.
