Experiments in Life

The pups got a small taste of freedom this morning. Not only did they knock out another fence board, they figured out that they could wiggle their way through the opening and escape into No Man’s Land between our fence and our neighbor’s fence. Did I mention that our neighbor’s have at least two, nasty-sounding, boxers? I wandered into the dining room after getting out of the shower and heard some nasty growling from the yard. I looked out and did not see any pups, but did see the missing board. I ran out into the back yard and peered over the fence to see Rosie huddled between the fences towards the back of No Man’s Land. The other dogs were growling from there property. I managed to call her back through the boards into our yard. There was still no sign of Dante. Apparently, the little bugger had run behind the neighbor’s property in the new subdivision. Several minutes of calling finally got him to come back through the fence. I threw both dogs in the house and dutifully went out to repair the fence, once again.

Of course, the story does not completely end there. Both dogs have been little pills the rest of the morning, raising high holy hell ever since I fixed the fence. With their taste of freedom, they seem to be acting that much more aggressive to the dogs next door, which will get them in trouble if they ever meet (did I mention the other dogs were nasty-sounding?).
