When Cody was about 4 months he escaped my yard by digging a hole under the fence, the kicker was some how he was able to dig around a log so when I went out there looking for him I wasn't able to see the hole. I freaked out and thought someone had stolen him. A few minutes later I see Cody coming back under the fence wagging his tail like nothing happened. Sometimes I think he was switched with another GSD puppy, lol. You always wonder... lol
Another time was when he was in my room he started starring at the closet. Did nothing but stare for a while. It freaked me out so much that I didn't sleep in my room for a few months....
Another time was when he ate a battery, I thought for sure he had gotten "burnt" by the acid. Also, when he was about 3 we had to take him to the emergency room because his tummy started getting bigger but thank goodness it wasn't bloat, the air hadn't reached there yet, it was only in his intestines.
I'm sure there is more but I just can't remember, lol.
With Isa, when we first got her, she starting "siezuring" or that is what it looked like, she was very jerky in her movements and she had a hard time walking and was shaking. Took her to the vets, did many tests and found out there was nothing wrong with her. She has never done anything like that since then.
She also had a very similar episode like Cody's with gas in the intestines. That was freaky since it happened to Cody.
I could tell MANY stories with Akbar...lol
The first few nights with Akbar was ok until the next night. He had gotten his mouth stuck wide open in the wire crate we had him in, was shrieking, crying, screaming, trying every noise he could make and shaking his head to get it unstuck from the crate bars. I was freaking out trying to get his mouth unstuck and finally was able to. For the next few days after that he had a huge swollen muzzle.
When he was a little baby, 3 months, and was out in the chain link kennel, I heard this loud screech and came running out to see Akbar's head stuck in a few links as he tried to pry them apart to get out. At 3 months he was able to lift the bottum of the kennel, had to zip tie them, then a little older he was able to rip some links out and get out that way, then around 7 months he was able to rip the door off...(He's a great escape artist in a chain link kennel but so far as yet to get out of our thick steel kennel we have now.)
Then just last month I came downstares and saw the #500 kennel's side ripped out, that scared me as I didn't think he could rip that out. Had to put him back in the wire even though I dreaded to do that as I didn't want to use my nice #500 kennel that goes in the car. A few nights later as I was headed off to bed at 1:30am I hear Akbar doing quiet whimpering. He NEVER whimpers, ever. So I race in there and he has mouth stuck AGAIN in the wire crate. This time he got his upper jaw stuck near the crate's flooring where a piece of thick wiring was pulled out when it was Cody's old crate back when he was a puppy. I forgot that was Cody's old crate that had that as Isa doesn't have a destructive behavior so I forgot to put Akbar temporarily in Cody's new one. Well, I(he) paid the price and Akbar was stuck there while I was screaming and crying trying to get him out. And you know what, all he did that entire time was make little whimper noises, that's it. No screaming, crying, making loud noises, just whimpering. He is such a hard headed stubborn dog that it didn't faze him, it was just a minor annoyance on his part. He was finally able to get it out himself but man I almost had a heart attack. The strange thing is, his car crate is wire and he never does anything to it, doesn't even destroy his bed yet if we put anything in his crate in the house he will tare it to shreds. Odd boy. After the night though I did bring in that nice kennel and it's now in my room, had to move stuf and take things out to fit that big crate in.. Sleeps like a baby now....
Another that scared the crap out of me was when he chewed on an extension cord. This was couple weeks ago. We were in the computer room and normally Akbar just lays down and either sleeps or chews on a bone or plays with a toy. Everything was quiet, no sounds until I hear the most wierd sound I have ever heard come out of a dog. It was not a bark, a yelp, but more like an actual scream. I have never heard a dog scream like this. It was a quick scream. I turned around so fast and there is Akbar looking at me with a sickening look or more like a dopey look and there's the cord biten up and it was turned on!! This is why the cords are almost always put up around here... Must have forgotten to for some reason.
Akbar's goal right now, is to get into EVERYTHING he can. Gotta love stubborn puppies....lol
