my sister's knee popped out again last night so after getting home from the hospital i stayed with her last night and all morning. my poor sister, this is the second time its happened so she is probably going to get surgury to make sure it doesnt happen again. weak knees run in my family, i really hope im not next. i got to watch them fix it and it was so weird to see her knee cap on the side of her leg. it killed me to hear her screem as they put her on the stretcher. thank god we all live down the road from the hospital
well i got home arounf noon and my dog came up to greet me! hubby and i always put her in her cage when we arent home and he was at work so i looked around and she managed to unhinge her cage enough to sqeeze through a tiny opening. we have a pretty heavy duty cage too
no accidents and no damage to the house thank god. and she was very happy to see me
just wanted to tell you guys

Dexter can open his crate as well, so I quit putting him in it. I was anxious the first few weeks about leaving him out, but I do know that he can hold his bladder for 13 hours... Probably not the best thing on a daily basis, but I only work 3 nights a week.
Sorry to hear about your sister.
Off topic -
Working in the hospital, I have seen some F-ed up things, a few dislocated knees, elbows, shoulders, but the worst was a dislocated jaw. I have TMJ on the left side of my jaw, so seeing what could potentially happen has made me kick myself into gear on getting it fixed. I'm really not looking forward to having my mouth wired shut, but the up side is that I will lose at least 50 lbs. lol

To keep my moms lab in her cage, we used leashes to clip the side, top and bottom of the door closed (two on the side, one on the top and bottom, in the middle). Then we just gave up because she would sit there and bark and bark and bark and bark. She would only tear up the trash, go on the furniture, and eat stuff. No big deal, right? gonk
The best had to be when we had four dogs (75+ pounds each), and all four of them got into 5 pounds of gourmet coffee. At least their poop didnt smell so bad. And let me tell you, it was EVERYWHERE. Such a fun clean up.... -_-
