the *!@#$%! dogs

we couldn't keep the Pyrenees in, so Kevin stuck her back in with the Black Lab, they now have a much smaller pen & are co-existing very well. So now we have a pen for another pet...Katie thinks a pig, which we can't get until I quit PSF. I think the gray cat finally exited the garage...haven't heard any yowling lately.

dogs continued...

Buddese the Pyranese got out of the pen last nite, she crawled over the gate. I couldn't get her back in, Kevin put her in this am, made the gate taller. He went to his dads, came home in the afternoon, she had dug several impressive holes & was out again. He lured her back in with dog food, filled her holes, & now they're back to acting miserable & howling at each other. You just can't make some dogs happy, I guess. If she continues to get out, guess we'll put them back together & see how it goes. (she never attempted an escape when she was rooming with our grandma dog, Hayley the Black Lab, that Koren adopted when Kate was just starting to walk good.)
But, she didn't like Hayley eating. Maybe it's time for boarding school...

the dogs

Kevin got tired of Katie & I complaining about the dogs fighting, so when he got home from playing farmer at dusk, he started dragging around the huge heavy homemade metal panels he built the pen out of, dividing them into 2 pens quite a ways apart, with the back fence still there. I have a vision of planting a small garden there, with something to climb up the fence. It all sounds quite charming right now. We all know I'm lazy. Maybe even a birdbath & a bench. Some of those cute little old fashioned kid statues. We'll see how it plays out when spring actually arrives.
of course the dogs now miss each other & are out there howling & carrying on.
