Jimmer Negamanee Report post Posted March 1, 2009 This is my first attempt at posting video clips. I hope it works. The "Mystery Solved" in the description comes from the fact that we have had various items (plastic food containers, the occasional banana, etc.) that we swore was on the kitchen counter pushed far back from the edge when we left the house only to come home and find it somewhere else in the house (or in the back yard.) So I set up the trail cam on video mode to see what was going on. To our surprise, our cattle dog mix who is only 19 inches at the withers has been counter surfing on our 36 inch kitchen counters. (She's also my faithful but useless shed hunting buddy who appears in my avatar.) In one video you can see her pushing some containers off the drying and into the sink. The other video which I call "The Dismount is Gonna Cost Her" you see her on the counter then she apparently slipped. She is able to keep her feet under for an inelegant but still impressive dismount. In that video you can see the size relative to the counter top. Interestingly, we have video of her jumping down from the counters, but none of her jumping on to them. Let's see if this works. http://s279.photobucket.com/albums/kk146/N...sterySolved.flv http://s279.photobucket.com/albums/kk146/N...onnacosther.flv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SilentButDeadly Report post Posted March 2, 2009 I've heard you can buy electrified mats that go on your counter top, paws touch counter = dog gets a shock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josh Report post Posted March 2, 2009 I know what Gus would do to that dog. Call us up and say he called in some sort of coyote/canine mix and then dispatched it with his sharp shooting skills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmer Negamanee Report post Posted March 3, 2009 I may just take the mouse trap advice. I think I can rig them so we don't go home to find a dog with a face full of mouse traps. Whether I can convice my wife that it's a good idea is another matter. But like I told her, if I wanted an animal to walk where we prepared our food, I'd have gotten a dang cat. Amanda, thanks for the tutorial you gave me at the ISE on how to post videos. It worked! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted March 3, 2009 Showed the videos to my husband and he enjoyed them also!! Great stuff. Your "faithful but useless shed hunting buddy" is very crafty. You might try moving the cam so it can catch her coming into the aisle by the counters. Since you aren't catching her jump up, it's either because she does it in less than 1.2 secs (the camera trigger time) or she just isn't in the camera field of view when she jumps up. The more you angle the camera so you catch her approach, the more likely to get her jumping up on the counter. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
