Houdini Bennett
Think have been kind of getting back to normal around the house (sort of, more on that later) so Brian thought it would be good to spend some time with Bennett. I thought taking him to play with Surrey during our board meeting would be perfect. It poured buckets that morning but Kate still said it was cool to bring him.
After a brief greeting, we through them in the backyard to get disastrously muddy. It would be a small price to pay for a happy puppy dog. Meanwhile, Kate and I set to work getting dinner ready for the girls. After about 15-min we heard a crash and the scamper of paws. The dogs were inside! At first I thought Bennett had opened the door because it had a handle doorknob. That is until Kate showed me the knob style that she had and explained he had used his two man-paws and turned it! I really didn’t believe my stupid golden had figured out how to turn a doorknob! We locked the door just in case.
So everybody arrived and we were probably 30-min into our meeting when I hear Kate yell.
   “They’re out! Ohh my God, They’re out!â€
She jumped up and started running to the front door. We all looked to find the two puppies running around the driveway. I rounded up Bennett and Kate got Surrey and we put them back through the gate. Before Kate even took her hand off the latch, Bennett was pushing it up again. I grabbed the latch and held it down, he gave me the stink-eye and pushed with his nose as hard as he could against the latch. Finally, we decided the laundry room was the best place for these two.
I apologized endlessly to Kate for the trouble. Looks like I have a lot to learn about Bennett.
