What is in the Basket Boots!?
Our 10 week old puppy Boots was still getting used to our house and how things were done when he discovered my 2 year old son's room. He figured out on any given day there were new and cool toys to be gnawed on as well as action figures to hide. Sunday he went in looking for the usual mischief and found a green basket. It was one of those collapsable Easter baskets made of cloth and a spring (about the size of those halloween pumpkin things you get for candy). It must have had something smelly in it cause Boots stuck his head right in. Well that is a wonderful plan for a pup with a skinny head but for poor Boots it meant he was a basket head! He got lodged in it and if that wasnt bad enough he tried to back out of it. He backed all over the house til he got wedged behind a door. That is where I found him. I could not understand why my 2 kids were laughing so hard and pointing in the bedroom. I also could not figure out what the knocking sound was. I went in and peered behind the door and there was Boots banging that basket against the door as if to say - get off you stupid thing! I picked him up and took him in to see my hubby. We both had a good laugh and I removed the basket. Once Boots was free he decided the basket was evil. Now he wont even walk past it. He gives it a wide berth even if it is just harmlessly sitting on the floor.
