I had never heard about Mike being an "escape artist" but thanks Mo, that really explains a lot. I got a Mike daughter from Kathy Casteel when I was a kid and she could get out of darn near anything. We had padlocks in our kennel gates (not locked) so that she couldn't flip them open. One day she found that at the top of her run there was a small opening and she managed to get on top of her dog house and scaled the chain link fence to get through the opening and then into the other run. Since there was nobody in that run she easily flipped the gate open and then flipped the main gate open and there she was sitting at the front door. She came in the house and jumped right up on her (I mean...MY) bed. That was my Jenny girl! She was the sweetest. Thanks again Mo!
