RETRO FIND: This dog didn’t just bark up trees, she climbed them
A backyard dog takes things to another level in this strange and hilarious archive clip.
On ground level, Mickey looks like just another mutt doing the things the dogs usually do in the backyard. But when it comes to this apricot tree and Mickey’s best friend Wesley, Mickey the mutt is suddenly the pooch on *** perch. Anytime it wants to, I can, she can just go right up, especially if there’s *** cat over there, she’ll hear it, she’ll go right up. Mickey spends many *** day lounging in her penthouse doghouse. In the summer, she keeps the birds away from the apricots. Nobody knows why she climbs. They just think it’s neat. So you think you got *** pretty special dog, huh? Yeah, I mean, I sure do now. I thought, oh wow, just ***. Do with *** little something extra until now. Mickey started climbing just *** few months after being brought home. Soon the boys and their father decided to put Mickey’s shelter in the tree. Well, they had the dog house on the ground for *** long time and they wouldn’t use it. And so my husband just says, well, she sleeps up there practically all the time. He’d cut the windows out and make her *** guard shack for up in the tree. Since then, the High rise life’s been the only life for Mickey. With all the climbing, one might wonder whether she’s ever fallen out of the tree. Well, the answer is yes, but Mickey, the amazing tree dog, landed on her feet. Does Mickey think she’s *** cat? Maybe, but she is certainly *** dog that will never be guilty of barking up the wrong tree because she will probably climb it first. In Salinas, Paul Johnson, Action News 8.
