4-Legged Houdini

We have our own Houdini at our house, a 4 legged, 95 pound, yellow haired one. This guy:

We have to lock Jack up while our house is on the market. People only have to give us a 30 minute warning they are coming by and I just don’t trust anyone with Jack while we are not home.  He’s very protective and it was our best plan to just put a gate on the playroom door so he could have some space to sleep but then people could still see in the room. Well, our house has been on the market now for 2 whole weeks and every morning we lock Jack up and every afternoon we come home and he’s standing by the back door greeting us. He somehow gets out of this gate. Its not your average gate. IT’s a very secure one where you have to screw tight the ends into the door and the only way to get it open is to lift up the handle.

This is how it looks when we get home. It’s like he just lifted up on the handle and came on out when he was ready. I guess the gate is child proof, not Jack proof.

On our way home we start taking bets to see if Jack stayed in or not. Tonight Gracie said ‘Aww, Jackie what are we going to do with you?” My question too. What are we going to do???? We only wish we hadn’t sold our video camera in our garage sale otherwise I’d be hooking it up to get this escape on tape!! I guess it’s a good thing we’ve only had one showing in 2 weeks until we can get this thing figured out. Yes, only 1 showing in 2 weeks. Can you tell how slooooowww the market is right now????
