Liz, I am so looking forward to seeing the pictures of Smokeys` first snow experience, I bet he looks so cute! :)
About the other thing, you do have my sympathy because although I have had similar experiences of non-secure yard and fences and lots of other dogs about, I didn`t find any real answers to the problem, so, sorry, I do not have any for you either! Just the obvious I guess, taking him out on a long leash to do his laps around the yard, and playing with him in the house, a lot!! I so hope the re-fencing is done in record time so it less of a worry for you.
Chris
