counter

bklantz · 02-05-2011, 11:43 PM

Me and my boyfriend were sitting in the living room and we hear some noise in the kitchen (usually Ella counter surfing) and low and behold Ella is on the kitchen counter.... today Ella learned that she has the ability to actually jump ON the kitchen counters....and yes I mean starting at the floor and ending up on top of the counter!!

yes Ella is a small 40lb and much more nimble than your average basset but never did I ever think she could jump up on something that high!

This should be quite the fun challenge for us....I swear she is out to get me sometimes!

Oh dear! I hope Virga doesn't learn this little trick. She can't reach the counters right now because she's too little. But she sure tries. Doppler is a good boy and doesn't counter surf. As sure as I say that he'll figure out how to do it.

Oh my gosh! Look at them!!! I think I actually said out loud, "Oh that's a bad basset!" (hope Annie didn't hear me LOL)

LOL i actually said "oh my gawwwd!" and laughed outloud and am calling my hubby in to see those pics. just tonight bowser had sniffed out a messy bone i took from him (messy boy!) and found it was behind the kitchen sink...he started to paw up there and so i decided to give it back to him in a tactful way to discourage the counter thing. I'm glad i did!!

Crikey... and how do they get down? We were always told by breeders and vets not to let our Bassets jump off anything that's higher than they are or it can damage their legs or their backs so I hope they don't injure themselves!

Ours counter surf but there's no way they'd get up on the top!

I also hope that one day when they climb on the top of the cooker that it hasn't just been on and is still hot!

How often do yours get on the counters?

SophieB - When Ella jumps up there and I walk into the kitchen she just jumps right down like it's second nature to her, if she doesn't jump down right away I pick her up and put her down...i hope she never gets hurt by this!
