Sometimes he's gone for hours sometimes I can catch him. yesterday he leaped over the 5 and a half foot gate, asked a couple of little girls if they'd seen a little black dog, but they hadn't. 5 minutes later they came klnocking at my back door saying they thought they'd found him in a garden along the street barking at a cat up a tree. The cat was as high in the tree as it could get kind of balanced on a thin branch, George was attempting to follow it up the tree. The kids managed to catch him and I brought him home safely. I kind of take comfort in the fact he was a stray so appears to know how to take care of himself 'on the street' as it were. In the yard I try to tie him up on a long lead so he can't jump out but he has a canny knack of being able to wangle his way out of his collar no matter how tight it is. I was warned that Harry was an escapologist too by the rescue shelter, hence the name harry houdini, he hasn't done any disappearing tricks since he's been here and always comes back when I'm brave enough to let him off the lead, I think he's just happy to have a comfy home now, or is that jsut me projecting human thoughts on a dog?? lol Not sure if there's anything that will really prevent a houdini from doing his tricks, they'll always find a way.
