Lord Dudley Mountcatten was eyeing our Bradford pear tree the other day during his walkabout.

.

.

If you recall this did not end well the last time.

.

.

Because while His Lordship likes the idea of climbing trees, his experience with execution is decidedly lacking.

.

.

But the blooms must have been calling his name because up he went.

.

.

It started with a pre climb scratch.

.

.

And then a jump.

.

.

And that was basically it… because the daft bugger has no idea what to do once he’s actually on the tree.

.

.

So, yeah.

He literally just hangs there until he falls off.

.

.

And then walks off the embarrassment on the rock wall.

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.
