I think it'd be kind of cool to have a tree-climbing dog, although I can
imagine that's one of those things where it might be wise to be careful
what I wish for.

Just remember that a dog which climbs trees may also climb fences, walls,
shelves, etc.

I have a whole sequence of photos of Rocsi climbing into a tree to
retrieve a ball... will have to upload them to Flickr one of these days.
They were taken just a couple of months before she died, which is why I
didn't get around to it at the time....




Last year my daughter had to identify, describe and photgraph 25 native
tree species, including an object for scale in each photo. Every one of
her classmates used a yardstick. She used Scully. The first picture was
of Scully, sitting next to a yardstick, documenting that from ground to
ear tip, she was exactly 24" tall. Measurements were given in "scullys".

I love it!
