Daisy clawed at the wire cage and bent two or three wires out of alignment. The cage we had had one bolt lock in the middle, and two little tabs that were supposed to keep the top and bottom closed. In her clawing she lifted those tabs out of position and squeezed through by pushing on the bottom corner. We were lucky she didn't strangle herself on her collar.

If the cage had two bolts top and bottom she might have been prevented from escaping. I could have done the same thing with another padlock or carabiners (which I would have to acquire), but when she escaped with one padlock I was fed up with the cage. She is much more mellow in her plastic kennel box. I think she feels secure in it, but not in the wire cage.

We have a whole string of nicknames for Daisy. As in "Daisy Mae Nosy Rosy Hoover Houdini Dog of the Daddy". Mae comes from Li'l Abner. Nosy comes from her lifting up your arm when she wants to be scratched. Hoover comes from all the 'cleanup on aisle 3' she does. Houdini comes from her extraordinary ability to get out of confinements. Dog of the Daddy comes from "Hound of the Baskervilles"--I know it's a stretch, but that's what I call her most of the time.
