Mom tried to video his descent but she was too close to him. He actually came down better than he went up!
As soon as he reaches the bottom he turns around and goes right back up! He's like a kid with a new bicycle! He doesn't want to get off!! I wonder how many ups and downs he'd do before he got tired?
So guess what the latest is??
Is this rude or what?
First mom wants him to learn and now that he's on his way, he's locked out! Go figure!
So until next time...............
Love ya lots,
Maggie
What's momma doing? Why is Mitchy locked out? Hmmmm...I just hope Mitchy isn't like me- once I got a taste of sleeping near the parents I just can't stop! Now I won't go into my crate! Hee Hee
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys are back!
Uh oh, looks like we've created a STAIR MONSTER :)

Asta
Wow, there's no stopping him now, is there? Way to go, Mitchy!
ReplyDeleteWilliam Tell
Wow! I knew it was a matter of time. Great job Mitch!
ReplyDeleteNow that he learnt he is not allowed there?? Why?? I want to know!
Have a good night

Hey Maggie,
ReplyDeleteMitch really picks up fast. :) hehe...it's a pity about that child gate though. Sheesh..how is he going to practice??
hmm....wat's so fun about climbing stairs...i wonder...
ReplyDeleteMitch has made real progress and very soon, he will be bounding up and down those stairs!!
ReplyDeletePoor Mitch will be all confused now. Maybe he can imagine climbing the rest of those stairs. That's how athletes train sometimes :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go Mitch!! You're such a smart dude. But now you're not allowed to do up the stairs?? Hmm, I thought that was the whole point of the training!! Not fair!! Humans...go figure!
ReplyDeleteUm, Mom says she feels better now cuz your Mom has the same voice as she does!! LOL!! But trust me, my mom's voice is WAAAAAY more annoying!!
Tobes
mitch, i know you can do it! but why is your mom blocking the way to upstairs? i think mitch is really confusing.
ReplyDeletewet wet licks
Boo
Maggie: Isn't that just like a human. But CONGRATULATIONS MITCHY! Good work, man
ReplyDeleteWhoopsy! Why she put a child's gate there? I thought she wanted you to learn how to go & down the stairs...This is not making sense.
ReplyDeleteLove licks,
Solid Gold Dancer
Oh mitch we sure are proud, but what is up with the gate?!
ReplyDeleteYou could maybe hire Mitch out as the stair master at the local gym. Good to see he got the hang of it!
ReplyDeleteMaybe she thinks if he's not allowed up the stairs he'll want to go up them. Does that make sense? No, oh well.
ReplyDeleteSimba x
Oh Mitch, bless your fuzzy little bottom, what a big grown up boy. And you knoew just where you were heading once you got up there - straight to Maggie's secret toy stash!
ReplyDeleteKaty x
Congratulations Mitch. You are doing great. I do not know how human's mind works sometimes. A one point they felt that we should learn something and the next, they stop us doing what we are taught to do... grrr..rrr...
ReplyDeleteLuv,
Snowball
Bogart - you funny, stair monster! BOL! Maggie you are doing sooooo well, we be proud of you, just imagine what you can do now, woof, Johann!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! Tell your mommy that stairs are slippery! My new little brother Finnegan has masteredt hem too and now he's a show off! But, of course he does everything at a million miles per hour!!
ReplyDeleteHUGS to you beautiful Maggie!
Your pal, Mackie (oh, and Finnegan and Ollie!)
Mitch! We're so proud of you!! We knew you could do it.
ReplyDeleteWe have those gatey things all over our house. They're worse than jail.
Sherman, Penny & Lola
Mitch mounted the stairs exactly.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. ：）
Spend a happy weekend.
from loved ume tyan
ahaha...watching this I just wanted to get in the video and kinda push Mitch up..lol.
ReplyDeleteMe....stairs....sometimes Mamma has to put up a baby gate at the bottom too, cause I LOVE running up and down those stairs like it is my job. I take my ball to the top...then...brace your self doggies...I throw it down the stairs, so I can rumble down the stairs like a football player after it. It drives mamma a little crazy cause I am VERY noisy when I come down, cause that IS half the fun after all...but mamma says she cant concentrate on her work, so after me doing that like 30-40 times...she puts the gate up..ugh I don't understand her sometimes...At least I entertain myself. The barn looks amazing...but I think You should tell your daddy that it might be good to put some walls on, so when it rains it doesn't get all wet "inside"

p.s. oh Maggie....I sometimes get a little bossy with other doggies too...Mamma says that it is all about the "energy" we dogs send out...and if some dog is a little timid or scared or bossy themselves...we smell it, and then we sort of react...well at least I do...just be thankful that your mamma didn't put you in a "submissive down" hehe...that one barks!!!
Typical of hoomans eh?! What can we say.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see Mitch with such progress. I think he is gonna do very well by the end of the week, if he is allowed to do so. hehehe...
Oh, Mitchy! You're really getting the hang of it. In no time you'll be zooming up the stairs. but the gate? Whazzup wit dat? Huh?
ReplyDeleteWhoofs & Baroos,
Eddie & Peaches
Way to go Mitch! I am very happy for you for getting better with the stairs. Now, we need to discuss the baby gate. NOT Fair, i agree 100%!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sitka
Congratulations Mitch! I think you should have full access to the stairs so that you can practice. You need to practice a lot and find all of the stashed treasures that are upstairs.
ReplyDeleteYehhhh!Way to go,Mitch! Maggie, you'd better start looking for a new place to hide your toys from Mitch! :)
ReplyDeleteLicks,
Preston
Way to go Mitch! Maggie, I'm sure you were instrumental in the learning process.
ReplyDeletewally
How rude, indeed! I mean c'mon, be fair. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteToodles,
Sweets
Mitch is so cute climbing the stairs, i like it when he turns his head back and look at mommy, waiting for an encouraging push!
ReplyDeleteBut why the fence now???????
Love,
Reina
hoorah! mitch is waaaay too clever for stairs-only training! i think he needs more challenging stimulation!
ReplyDeletenext up: leap over the fence from both sides? teehee... have a nice weekend!
loves,
fee
Oh Mitch!
ReplyDeleteYou would have wanted to climb the stairs as much as I did if there was cat food to steal at the top! The two cats in our house have stopped coming downstairs since I arrived, and exit the house via an upstairs window. They got pretty hungry until their bowls got moved upstairs. So now I charge up there all the time - except another child gate has mysteriously appeared so I still can't get the food. NOT FAIR!
I'm jealous of your looks, Mitch. Your mum knows how to groom you properly. My mum just leaves me looking like a hairy monster.

Hi Mitch,
ReplyDeleteI have the same kind of fence. Two of them, in fact. Mine are to keep me from going down the steps (off the deck) and yours are to keep you from going up the steps? I just don't understand. Why do humas do the things they do?
Lots of Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie
