Scare of the day




This morning, wanted to bring Baby & Mico for a walk.
With a bag of rubbish in my hand & 2 dogs in tag, I opened my wooden door, wanting to let them out.

But Boy beat me to the door & refused to go back when I asked him to.
He was so eager to go out for a walk until he tried squeezing through the gap in the metal gate.

& got stuck...could not get in or get out.

I tried pulling him out for 10 minutes but could not do it.
Then I started to panic....
my thoughts in my mind...do I need to call SCDF, saw my gate or use hammer to hammer open the grille?
If i leave him to look for my phone to call hubby, will he manage to get out & run away..
Should I try to oil him to reduce friction.

After trying for another few minutes & by then, the boy started shivering. No usual whining or growling. Just shivering. Then i became quite certain that he would not slip out while I went to call for help.

Fortunately, hubby was just downstairs and came up immediately. He laughed at Boy for being so silly and asked me to get the camera to take pictures.






I asked hubby if Boy would be able to get out and hubby said yeah without trying.

Then he tried and realised Boy was stuck because his front legs were very stiff as he was scared.

So we tried coaxing boy by giving treats. Slowly push him out of the metal grille.

Finally he was free.

Happy to be free, he insisted going for the walk when I headed towards the door with Baby & Mico..

So I had no choice but to bring him along..Put them on a 2 way leash..Baby & Boy together..

& Boy happily pulled Baby in the opposite direction wherever she went. The 2 had difficult coordinating...hahaha

My scare of the day. Luckily Boy turned out fine & no damage to my metal grille.



The happy ending ..after the walk

I love mico's expression in the first photo. She seemed to be wondering out aloud "Mommy, what's happening now? Boy is stuck. A bit DUH hor..."
