imported_Cassie Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 I thought I was losing my marbles this weekend...I went into work Saturday morning and found dog poop all the way down the aisle of the boarding facility... :o I checked all the dogs and every one was ok...they were all safe and sound in their kennels (these are runs which are on the inside 6ft X 8ft and the outside runs for each dog is 6ft wide by 12ft long, the outside runs all have chain link on the top of the kennel as well)...I was puzzled as to how the poop got in the aisle as I had been the last person in Friday night??? I went about my business and let all the dogs out. I came in Sunday morning to find poop once again in the aisle leading down between the kennels, I checked all the dogs once again every one was safe and snug in their kennel....I was really getting freaked out...and I also noticed that in the front of the kennel the reception area, we keep a container of dog treats....the lid was off...I know I always place the lid firmly back in place after giving out treats. This morning I come in to find the same thing...by this time I am thinking the owners husband is playing a trick on me...but why would someone leave piles of poop...that is a disgusting joke...and the lid was off the treat container again!!! at this point I am seriously thinking I am going crazy and I start cleaning the kennel...I bring all the dogs in and shut their outside doors so I can hose out their outdoor runs...while outside I hear a big commotion...thinking their may be a customer I came back in...I find that a Pit bull mix we have in for boarding running around the inside of the kennel loose...I took it back to its kennel thinking perhaps I had not latched and clipped the dogs run properly...the kennel door is securely closed and latched...puzzled I put the Pit mix back in its kennel thinking perhaps I had not latched it properly and some how I wasn't seeing correctly...meanewhile I am in the front reception area of the kennel...I can see the top of the runs...I am just standing there thinking of some thing else, and up near the ceiling I see the Pit mix.... :o I came running over to the dogs kennel and there it had climbed up the 10 foot chain link panel to get to the top and was ready to jump to freedom in the inside of the kennel...there is only enough space between the top of the fence to the ceiling for the dog to tightly squeeze itself through!!! What gets me the most on this whole ordeal is the fact the pit mix was getting out at night and had free range of the inside of the kennel...popping the lid off the treat container and having a feast and running around pooping in the aisle...party time....and yet, the dog was climbing back into its own kennel before I got in in the morning!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: can you imagine, I am still getting over the shock of this...most dogs would not go back in! I think the dog was trying to send me to the funny farm. Quote

Malamum Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Wow, that really is quite strange but funny too. The dog in question wouldn't be named Houdini would he :wink: Quote
imported_Cassie Posted November 24, 2003 Author Posted November 24, 2003 Oh, it was hilarious after I realized what was going on!!! took me awhile...the joys of working at a boarding kennel...the scary part is the responsibility of other peoples dogs and when some thing like this happens its a real BIG releif that nothing horrible happened...the owner of the facility has the entire kennel surrounded by fencing...so even if a dog did escape it would have to climb 3 series of fences before it reaches the out side world...I guess this has happened before to the owner of the kennel...I was talking to her today about it...she said she has had things like this happen mainly with Boxers, Doberman Pinschers, American Stafforshire Terriers they can climb really really well and they can squeeze though small spaces! :o Quote
