Our old dog, Coco, who was a husky/pit bull/rotty mix did a lot of things. She also used to climb aluminum ladders. When I built our garage in Calgary, we had her on a lead connected to the old clothes line as we temporarily had no back fence. She climbed the ladder, walked through the top rung and nearly knocked the ladder down (her lead was through the ladder). We had to lower her down. When I built my house on the farm, she did the same thing only this time was a lot higher up walking on the top plate of the walls on the 2nd story as I was installing the rafters.

When I was installing the stairs, I’m underneath them holding them in place and about to tack them in place with my framing nailer, that dog ran up them at the speed of light.

Sadly, this will be Roxy’s last week with us. The cancer has progressed and she’s in pain despite our generous doses of pain meds. We are bringing home another rescue our friends have been fostering for us next weekend.
