The one in which Lord Dudley Mountcatten attempts to climb a tree….

Dudley does well on his harness/leash and knows his limitations, which in actuality is 30 feet. His chest to my wrist. His Lordship chooses the direction and we walk, stroll, sit and occasionally sprint. What we don’t do is climb trees.

.

Until the other day when he sat at the base of the Bradford pear watching a bird one minute….

.

.

And jumped onto the bark the next. Problem is, his lordship does not have any tree climbing experience and literally just hung there.

.

.

He scooched a little farther up, with me trying hard not to laugh …

.

.

And finally made it up on a lower branch. Which is when he looked at me as if to say, what the Hell do I do now?

One aborted climb later..

.

.

It was over before it really begun.

.

.

I give him an A for effort, but a D for technique.

  1. The judges average score on the dismount was an 8.5, so there’s that. I definitely think his Lordship put great trust in you to keep the slack on the leash before he went skyward. I was worried for a moment there we might have a scenario where he flew through the air after running out of leash. Clearly, he does know his limitations.
