Tank has been dying to go outside! Sometimes, he hides across the room and as soon as someone opens the door he runs as fast as he can and shoots out the door. The problem is he hasn't yet learned to be afraid of anything - and we have too many coyotes around waiting to take advantage of that.

The other skill Tank is learning is how to get down from a tree. We had to call a tree service to pluck him out of our Black Locust tree from 60 feet up. Three days later I had to get him out of our Birch tree. I extended the ladder most of the way, climbed up, then climbed higher up some branches. Tank walked back along the branch he was on and climbed up on my shoulder and stayed there while I climbed back down the tree and down the ladder.
Tank now thinks twice before getting too high up a tree. Here he is practicing on one of our smaller trees in the front yard.
