We were hanging out in our back garden when all of a sudden we noticed that our dog had climbed the tree! Who the heck has ever heard of a tree-climbing poodle?! Of course, once he was up there he couldn't climb down by himself so I had to climb part way up and get him down.

I wouldnt have expected that from a poodle. At first glance I thought it was a monkey! :)

Too funny! What a strange looking tree. What kind is it?
Carol--I actually googled poodle climbing a tree but didn't find anything worth reading :-)
Diane--It's a pepper tree. Charlie must have used the nodules to get up so high
Maybe he is part monkey...LOL
Wow, who knew? Do you have a cat, too, and maybe he was mimicking?
Wouldn't it be fun to know what he was thinking?
That's an interesting tree, too.
Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
That's amazing - the tree as well as the dog!
How high is that tree and how far did the poodle climb?
He must have been chasing a squirrel and then suddenly realized he was stuck. What a funny dog :)
Maybe he's part mountain goat!! I didn't even notice the puppy in the tree at first glance.
I wonder how long he had been planning how he was going to be a part of Saturday Snapshots? Too funny.
Laurel-Rain, Margaret--I had no idea he could do this. I guess a squirrel is pretty good incentive! I do love this tree
Storygal--He probably climbed about 10 feet because I couldn't reach him without climbing up a bit
Trish--I do think a squirrel was the catalyst. Once I got him down he climbed a couple more times, but we managed to stop him before he got too high
Lisa--This climb from a dog who likes to pretend he can't get up onto a bed by himself. Now we know better!
Sassy--Yes, sneaky little guy!
Oh that's too funny. My family had a poodle for many years and he never tried to climb a tree. Chase rabbits and squirrels, yes, but trees, no.
LOL!! What a funny little dog!! Animals sure have their own little individual personalities, don't they? Our cat Beneigt acts a lot like a dog...he will raise up and scratch on the door to go out, drink from the toilet if the door is open, and will even come when you call him (which is amazing for a cat) ;) We call him a "catdog."
My Jack Russell loves climbing trees too!
That's a very strange looking tree. Never saw one like that before!

That's great, I couldn't imagine a poodle climbing a tree like that. I hope you got him down in one piece.
At first I didn't even see him...I was too busy being fascinated by the odd-looking tree. The picture is just plain cool for the tree alone, but add a tree-climbing poodle and that makes for an awesome couple of pictures!
Here's my snapshot: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/03/saturday-snapshot-march-12.html
Leslie--Squirrels are definitely our dogs main nemesis!
Ellie--So glad to hear my dog is not alone in his tree-climbing pursuits! We love our bulbous tree!
Mostraum--I got him down just fine though he definitely got himself stuck
Bev--Yes, the tree is definitely interesting looking and we love it
Peppermint--sorry! I accidentally skipped you. Thank goodness our dog doesn't drink from the toilet! That's so funny that you cat is doglike and my dog is catlike.
Oh my gosh, I love that! What a powerful pooch!
Connolly-Ahern--Powerful pooch, I like it
He sure must be a handful... and the tree itself looks very interesting.
Kavyen--You know, it's funny, usually he is such a calm dog and not a trouble-maker at all.
That is so cute! I've never had a dog that climbed trees. I wonder if your dog will do it again after the experience of getting stuck. :)
Alyce--Now it feels like a party trick. We're all waiting to see if he'll do it again!
Those poodles sure are unpredictable. Great snapshot.
Irene--Now I know why poodles are circus dogs!
