For the second time this week we've walked in the door greeted by a very happy boy. What in the world? He is crated.
The first time we made some stops after church so we were gone a little longer then usual, about 7 hours. This is the longest he's ever been left alone in the crate and I felt bad so we rush home to find him greeting us when we walk in proud as can be. The top latch was in the lock position but not fastened in the loop so I thought maybe I didn't do it right or he somehow unfastened it and it got pushed back. More probable that I just didn't fasten it right. Not a whole lot of damage done, just some torn up paper from the bathroom trash and that's it.
Today, we get back after errands. We were gone for about 2 hours max. Again, we come home to a waggy tail and a happy boy just as excited as can be waiting at the door for us. This time the crate is perfectly locked up. Completely, totally locked and solid. I called my neighbor to see if there was any off chance he heard Jordan having a fit and he might have come over to let him out and just ran back home for a minute. Fat chance, but worth the call. He is at work and hasn't been here. They are the only ones with keys to my house also. The crate is completely solid. I've shaked it, pulled on it, pushed it everything that I can think of to figure out how in the world this is happening. I don't know what to do now.
How in the world could he get out? We're talking about a half full-grown doberman here. Is he touching his nose and shrinking down to crawl through the bars? I don't think he's related to Santa Claus. I'm just really concerned about this. He is WAY too young to be left unsupervised.
