Brad! they are fantastic stories!! My dog does the same thing! I was working as an app Mech and my boss was showing me how to put a car on the hoist(the fast way without using the locking mech'm), well he didn't do a very good job, when it was at it's highest point, He said," See thats how we do it when your a professional like me, and I've never had one fall off", Yep you guessed it, I thought I was on T.V! the car fall off, it then got court on one of the arms of the hoist and it ripped a huge hole down one side of the car about 20cm wide!!! And he blamed me for getting in his way!!!!
