Escape Artist

On our way to the park today, Ireland figured out how to use the electric window controls in order to open the window. When I turned around and noticed the window was nearly all the way down while Ireland was trying to climb out, I nearly had a stroke.

First, I thought Brad had lowered the window for her, to let some fresh air in, but Brad denied all involvement. Besides, Ireland still had one paw on the control button so it was obvious who the culprit was.

All of this happened so fast, while we were trying to cross a busy intersection. I was in full panic mode so I screamed " Close the window NOW, Ireland's trying to get out". Brad, not fully understanding what was going on, immediately used his window controls to close the back window WHILE Ireland's head was still outside the car! This caused further drama. Fortunately, Ireland has a lot of neckhair and suffered no physical damage. The psychological damage she might have suffered is an entirely different issue.

This just illustrates that Siberian Huskies are true escape artists and can even use modern technology to their advantage.
