I realized how Jojo was opening her crate door! The newer crates have a lift and lock system. You lift the door and there are hooks on the door that attach to the wall of the gate, then you are supposed to slid the metal bar in place to secure the door. Hubby and I usually only hook the gate - I rarely slide the latch into place. It holds Rylee and is easier for me to let them out - simply lift the door and it opens.  Jojo must have realized this and digs at the door - pushing it up and voila! It opens! I'm sure she then goes to Rylee and taunts him while he sits obediently in his crate - "Mom said stay!" We now slide the bolt once Jojo is in her crate. I have started letting them roam free for our short trips out - no zoomies happen while we are away. Maybe one day they will be allowed to roam free but for now - better safe than sorry. Happy Friday
