I liked the mastiff that was out there. I am sorry Angus didn’t come up; but this is his first time and he did great just getting there. That English mastiff out there was a big one; wasn’t he?
Talking about escape artists . . . my dogs were just out in the yard, ran up onto the deck, opened the deck door and waltzed in (they didn't shut the door behind them).
The older one has learned to turn the lever handle on the deck door. These handicap-accessible doors are also dog-accessible!
I used to have a Siamese who could not only open ordinary doorknobs, but UNLOCK them as well (the kind with the round hole in the middle - he'd just stick in a claw and pop the lock.)
