Escape! Where there's a Rat Dog, there's a way.

I thought I was going senile; locking the pet gate but forgetting to put the dog in the kitchen.  Finally caught sneaky Sherbert in the act!

Now that she knows that I know she can get out, she does it in front of me without hesitation.  At Halloween this year, I thought the gate might distract her, but the first trick-or-treater was greeted with a doggie nose in her candy bucket!
