So I figured out how to use the dog flap all by myself.
What's the big deal?
Gail here: The big deal, young Bertie, is that it took about a week of pushing, prodding, cajoling, bribery, eventually, to be honest, flat out bullying, before I could persuade Hamish, already age three, to go through the flap. And there you are, 9 weeks old today, I didn't even show you that we had a flap, and next thing I know, you've found your way into the back garden. I can see that I'll to have to keep a VERY CLOSE EYE ON YOU, my canny wee laddie! Oh and by the way Bertie, hows about we just focus a bit more on the poo thing for now....please?
Look at him go!
ReplyDeleteUh, Gail, did we forget to tell you that we wirey lads are particulaly curious, inquisitive, creative, and nosey, etc. creatures?????
ReplyDeleteNow the question is will Bertie figure our how to get back inside.
That was such an adotable clip -- enjoy every day of his puppyhood. It is priceless.
Has he barked yet??
Wirey woofs!!

What a wee bright laddie indeed! Such a clever little bugger, isn't he!!!? Does the flap have a latch? Is the garden secure for a wee escape artist like our Bertie? He's a bit slimmer then the Hamish, he might be able to slither under or through some crack in the security perimiter. My goodness, Katie bar the door!

ReplyDeleteWe just overheard Moma saying, "That has to be the cutest video I've ever seen!" We recognize that smile when we've just learned something new and done something new. We can imagine the smile on the other side of the camera! Proud, fun moments!
ReplyDelete(What a sweet little whimper! Has he learned to use it to get everything he wants?)
Loving every moment of this,

Adorable and smart too!!

Hi Bertie, you sure are one smart puppy - you wouldn't get either of us going through there right enough!
ReplyDeleteGail had better keep her wits about her or you'll be off discovering any little gaps in the garden too.
We just know you are going to be a little explorer.
Happy 9 week anniversary of being born.
love

ReplyDeleteSo very excited to get to meet you Bertie! You are just so cute and look like you're going to bring lots of fun times to your mama. You are some sort of poochie prodigy figuring out how to do the trap-door trick already! BowWowzer!! And, don't worry about the poo thingy. It'll come eventually...took my little brother much longer than me.
ReplyDeleteWe are at our home in Farrr North Idaho now so have to use either use the library computer or hunt for wi-fi for the laptop. Will try to pop in on you when we can. Happy homecoming dear little fellow!!
Smooches,

Hello Bertie we are delighted to make your acquaintance. You are one very cute puppy and we can see you are going to keep Gail on her toes.

Hiya, Bertie! I saw your name mentioned on Eric Square's blog and wanted to check your new blog out. I'm so glad I found it, now I get to follow you right from the start. Puppy antics are so much fun! (Mom's note - this comes from an eight-year-old WFT that never outgrew his puppy stage).

Well done, Bertie my boy! You're much braver than me, all I have to do is hear a paper bag rustle on the floor and I'll back off. For seven years, Mom's kept me from eating Mica's food by putting a barricade that's less than 10" tall up in front of the kitchen. I know I could jump over it but if it fell, the noise would scare me to bits!

Oh Bertie...we are just dyin' here of cuteness overload...
ReplyDeleteWe wish we had one of those doors...we have to rely on one of the hoomans to let us out...and they don't do it fast enuff most of the time...I mean you'd hate to miss a birdie or a deer or somethin'...
As for not focusin' on the pooh thing...obviously you are...you're just focusin' on it in different spots then she wants ya to!!
Strong work, Bertie!
You wire foxies are a laugh a minute!!

Ob Bertie I'm almost pursting with pride! What a smart clever boy you are. I knew you would be, teeheee!! I can tell Gail is going to be full time employed looking after you - yep no time for work. As if she'll care. With one as adorable as you, me and Mom would be watching you all day. Did you hear Mom squeeeeee when she saw your little video Bertie? Not as cute as your little one of course.
ReplyDeleteWiry love Eric xxxxx
Oh my goodness, that was adorable! Glad you figured it out Bertie!
