A few weeks ago my husband replaced the actual latch and removed the bungee cord. I haven't been truly comfortable with the new gate latch - it feels like it's too easy to open and we have lots of smart animals here. I was worried Bear Corgi might learn to stand up on his hind legs and somehow push the latch up and let he and Kyra out.
I think my husband and daughter have felt I was being overly cautious but this weekend we learned that, in fact, the gate latch is not secure.
And it's not because of the Corgis.
Keil Bay was spotted coming to the gate, putting his head over, and lifting the latch to let himself and Cody into the back yard. Where there is lush grass and the garden and - us.
And since he didn't see fit to close the gate behind him, the bungee cord is back.

Smarty pants!
Kate, I had to laugh. He would be the horse nudging me awake each morning if he could get all the way in the house to do so. :)
I don't know what it is about latches that are so challenging to horses. Dusty and Blue are the resident "escapees." Those lips are very talented. Love that he took the gang with him for a treat!
Arlene, usually it's the pony who escapes but Keil seems to be the master of "breaking in." :)
Keil Bay is the king of everything, especially grassy back yards!
His kingdom is huge!
