Beagle fell out of window
Options

30-05-2010 3:27pm#1Just have to let you all know, that dogs DO jump/fall out of windows, so be careful. I have a beagle bitch, Judy who is just over two years old, and last week my daughter yelled at me to say that Judy was out in the front garden.
Well, impossible, as front door was closed,and there is absolutely no possible way to get out from the back garden. Judy came in, right as rain, with only a very very slight limp. At this point I went upstairs, and to my horror, discovered that the small bedroom door was open, and so was the window :mad: I then discover that daughter had heard a thud, as if a book has been dropped on the ground.
I can only assume that Judy must have climbed up onto the bedside locker, and either slipped or jumped down onto the slanting roof bit, and then slipped or jumped again onto the ground. About 9 or 10 feet ish :eek: :eek:
That dog must have extra lives, as it is the second time she could have been killed or injured - the first time she was 6 months old and nearly electrocuted herself chewing the vacuum cleaner wire, which I somehow yanked out of her mouth,all she suffered there was a small burn to the inside of her mouth, I wet myself
from the sheer terror and lost my voice.
She of course has been checked by the vet. I need to know if she most likely slipped, or are dogs so dim that they would jump??0

Oh and we have a picnic table that all the dogs love to take a nap on top of, but when I had my first Cav puppy she learnt how to jump up there when she was only three months old (she was raised with cats and definitely thought she was one) but she fell off there a good few times, landing on a concrete patio, and hit her head a few times (Looking back, I shouldn't have let her on the table but I was just a kid) Of course she jumped up and shook herself off and was fine. I love when dogs can do that.

When we had our Border Terrier he was very "ball focused" & once chased a child's football off the cliffs at Hook Head on a windy day. We really thought it was the end of him but mercifully he landed on a small ledge about 5ft down His absolute favourite game was a walk along sand dunes, having his ball thrown over the edge & launching himself into space after it! 0

He was so lucky!
That reminds me of when I was a kid and after going trick or treating me and my friend were in her room upstairs and she threw an apple out the window (mad at people giving her apples!) and her Jack Russell nearly jumped out the window!0 -

i taught mine was the only one. we were all sitting having a cup of tea in the kitchen, next we hear this crunch sound and my mother was like 'what has she eaten now' ... our lovely bold scottish terrior cut the wire from the baby monitor in half with her teeth and there wasnt a bother on her!!!0 -
