persephone Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Don is 10 - and pretty sensible . he does LOVE trying to dig rabbits out of burrows - but is basically settled. yesterday morning he treed a feral cat , and then proceeded to climb the tree! Don is not little, and not athletic like most of our Koolies . One of his grandfathers was a lab, so he is solid. The tree concerned is a very old, large and gnarled peppertree - with big thick branches of all shapes under a canopy of foliage . It is a bit like a spiral staircase ....and after Don clambered up the trunk to where branches started he then climbed 10-12 feet up ! I didn't call him as he was climbing for fear of him losing concentration - instead I marvelled at just how well he was doing! When he couldn't go any further I suggested he come back down - all the time worried that he might just jump and break something , but he wound his way around the trunk again and landed safely. Mild heart attack time ! LOL 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebanne Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 My little heart attack this morning was walking into the back yard and seeing Rose in a perfect sit! 10 out of 10. Had her 5 months now and never seen her sit. But she was soaking up the rays. Rose is nearly 7 and sitting isn't the easiest thing for a Greyhound but she had nailed it. But for one second I thought OMG what has she done to herself We can take the competition world by storm Perse 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Gifts Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Some dogs are crazy agile! But I would have a heart attack if I saw that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Smart Don has the age and experience in life to know that making his way back down the way he went up was the safest way... a younger dog might well have jumped down and hurt themselves... Is Don... is good boy! T. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're Right I think - once I thought he was considering jumping, but thought a bit about it and went the safer way 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
