I had a lovely bitch out of Polo and a Horseshoe daughter. She was a hand full. A friend fell in love with her, so I said "Eureka" and we co-owned her. My friend knew this bitch was challenging, a testament to our friendship, we are still friends after 20+ years and after Amy....LOL When she had to travel, Amy would had to be boarded, as she was such an accomplished escape artist. My friend found this wonderful boarding facility, who boasted about their kennel security, yada yada yada........well, she visited them and was very pleased with the place. She made her first reservation and dropped off Amy for boarding. By the time she got home she had a phone message, Amy got out and was in the excersice yard. The staff had made sure she was in her locked kennel TWICE, and twice they found her outside. By the time my friend made it back to the kennel, the staff had put Amy back on the kennel, this time with the surveillance cameras on. They had it on tape, how she would climbed out of her kennel, and squeeze thru the top to get out, just like a cat. So, Amy was placed on the "Houdini" kennel. Concrete flooring, a complete fence box, bottom fence flooring was covered with nice wood......they had an escape artist before that belonged to the owners, and had built this kennel just for him, they never thought they had to use it again. But the kicker was, while they were showing my friend this "option", Amy got out and then proceeded to let out 5 other dogs. She figured out the locking mechanism on the kennels. The BOX became the ONLY choice if she was to be boarded there. Yup, we still laugh about it.
