The Escape

Despite having coming home now several times to Owen sitting Smugly in the Front room, after being left in the Kitchen he still wasn't sure if Owen had managed to figure out how to open doors or if he just hadn't shut the door properly. Well this morning after Owen was left shut in the kitchen due to being very wet, he got out twice. So I put him back in the Kitchen and waited and was able to get this..

Proof that our dog really is smart and has indeed figured out how to open the doors.
This is him at the top of the stairs as he was waiting for Grumpy to finish on the Computer. He's a real expect at the old 'mornful look'
This is him and Grumpy going on a walk last night. As you can see he's a very helpful dog. If Grumpy was feeling too tired to take him for a walk he was more then willing to take himself.
This is the pair of them after they got back from their walk this morning. To see the pair of them were wet would be a massivie understatement!
Now Owen seems to have developed a 'thing' when ever he goes for a walk. When they get to the gate he always and I mean always starts jumping in the air as far as he can. He'll only do it two or three times though then stop.

We've got no idea why he does this, anybody else have any ideas?
