Flying Beardie

Dusty gave me the fright of my life today! I came home from work and found my gate closed. (I leave it open when I'm gone...) I opened it and, as I was pulling in to the drive, Dusty came trotting around the corner of the house to greet me. (He stays inside when I'm gone.) I freak out thinking someone has gotten into my house and turned him loose. Front door is locked. Back door is locked. Cruise through the house checking to see if anything is missing...something's missing all right! The screen from the attic window! (2nd floor). As far as I can tell, he pushed it out and then made a giant leap for Beardie freedom...almost 15 feet to the lawn below!

This is the dog that the groomer was concerned about being able to tolerate all the standing required for his recent clip...due to his advanced age and bad rear hip. HAH!

Now that I've stopped hyperventilating, I'm going to give him an Ascriptin (he is limping a little), pour myself a glass of Port and make an appt to have all my new grey hair colored...
