We went to our local animal control centre the other day to get a license for Eddie and we left him at home as I didn't think it'd be necessary to take him with us. Unfortunately, because he's crossed with pit bull it almost became a problem - especially because he's not fixed yet! However, I had taken a few pictures of him with my PDA and happened to have it with me. The pictures were proof enough to the clerk that he more resembled a lab and has very few physical characteristics of the pit bull. As you can see in the pictures and in comparison, his coat & general appearance are mostly that of a lab, but his head is rather square and he has the characteristically big nose of a pit bull. What you can't see from any picture is that he's EXTREMELY powerful!!
Anyhow, back to why I've titled this entry "Houndini"...it was a nice day so I'd opened up the windows to let some fresh air in. When we left the house, I neglected to close the windows and while we were at animal control, my ex called and said "Eddie's here." We finished our business and headed home. I stopped at my house before going to my ex's to see how he'd gotten out. The screen in the bathroom window was pushed out of its frame and this was obviously how he exited, despite the approximately 6 foot drop from the window and nevermind that there were garden tools and a lawnmower directly below as well. Somehow, he made his way to my ex's house about 3 blocks away even though we've only walked there once since bringing Eddie home.
I think it's particularly ironic that we were at animal control when Eddie made his great escape!!! LOL
