[Kacey!]

“Nice to properly meet you, Apollo!” Sandy watched as he pointed to the part of the latch with his nose. “Ohhh ... ”

More deliberately this time, Sandy bit at the latch, then lifted it and pulled. At first nothing happened, so she tugged again. This time, the door swung open and Sandy nearly lost her balance, but let go and righted herself.

The collie's tail and ears lifted in immediate pride. She had opened the cage door! “I did it! Not without your help, though,” she added. She was willing to acknowledge that she hadn't known how the cages worked ... and probably wouldn't've gotten it open without Apollo's input.
