Koda Causing Trouble

Laura just told me a pretty amusing story about Koda, our five-month old wirefox terrier pup. In every morning, Laura leaves him in the kitchen of her studio apartment with a few chew toys, a bowl of water, a comfy bed and light jazz on the radio. He probably sleeps most of the time before he's picked up by SF Puppy Prep, a well-respected dog obedience and day car service in San Francisco that he spends four hours of every week day with.

Lately, Laura has been coming home from work to a kitchen in disarray; obviously in a different arrangement than left in the morning time. She couldn't figure out how the few items that she had on the table were on the floor. The windows were closed in the apartment, so the wind couldn't be a factor. Koda can barely reach his paws onto the table. There wasn't an earthquake. She thought, "Maybe Koda's tugging at the table cloth and forcing the items onto the floor?" Then, she had a conversation with the girl that has been picking him up for SF Puppy Prep.

She told Laura that a neighbor across the street has seen Koda walking on the table. He's been pushing out and climbing onto the table chairs. After jumping onto the table, he's been picking up the items that he wanted to play with and tossing them onto the floor. The man continued by saying that he's seen Koda sit on the table, as if he was unsure of how to make the three foot leap to get down. In the end, we know that he's been safely getting himself down because the girl from SF Puppy Prep hasn't found him on the table.

We'll need to keep a closer eye on our mischievous pup...

Lately Koda has been listening to NPR. Now that I push the chairs well in under the table, he can't get up on top. I would LOVE to have seen this boy in action. Crazy smart terriers indeed!

Agree on the puppy cam...

You should set up a little maze for him to see if he can get through it!
