Like what? We are going to try a new method tomorrow...
It is a small clevis [sp?] clamp with a barrel closure. It is about 1/8" diameter. Now, he'll probably learn to roll the barrel closure open with his tongue, and again meet me with a happy face in the picture window when I pull up. My husband said we could use a padlock, but we'd have to be sure not to leave the key too close. ;c) I really ought to video tape these great escapes. I bet they are something to see. I have watched him open the cage. He sticks his paw out to raise the latch and keeping his nose against the bar, pulls it to the side with his nose, all the while not letting the latch fall back down. He's nothing, if not inventive, cute as a button and smarter than the average dog! Still loving him, but not wanting to take this show on the road quite yet.
