    The little Houdini again escaped from my fenced in back yard! I went to Home Depot, bought some fencing and have re -enforced where I think he leaves. I needed to do this anyway, as any of mine could also get out any place he does.

    I had all of them in the back yard yesterday and it was fine, let him in to be sure he was ok with the cats and he had settled down by the time we left. Today I didn't let him in, and no plans to again. Crazy escape artist! I will check with that house this evening to see if he is theirs, as he may be coming and going at will without them knowing. And if he is not theirs, next time he comes by I'll have to take him to the shelter.

    In the 5th picture - I like how his front feeties are turned out

    Listen up, lil visitor! The point of being fenced in is so you don't get out! You picked the right yard for someone to help keep you safe from bad things. I agree with Scooter's mom- You sure are cute! Please try to stay in the fluffs' yard till your person comes to get you. I would not want anything to happen to you. Every doggie deserves a loving home!

    Over the fence

    I have a Tibetan Terrier, a similar breed - related actually and they are great climbers. He could be climbing the fence - and over.

    He's a cute little devil. He looks like a minature version of my doggie, including the under-bite.

    I wonder if he will return? Now that he knows where the fun is, I suspect he'll be a regular!

    Keep us posted!

    If you do find out who is owners are, I'd suggest to them that the dog
    should be wearing tags with their phone number & address. Much faster
    to get their pup home again.

    Yup, he is wearing a collar, but no tags on it.

    The Wheaten we found one day several years ago had his name woven into his color, and tags engraved with his phone number and address, so we were able to drive him home right away to his mom and the little boys who had only just realized he had escaped the back yard. It was great to have all that information right there, and Archie barked once helpfully when we arrived at his house.

    I checked with the neighbor; he is not hers BUT get this: she has seen him around for almost a week now. He gets IN her fenced yard, plays with her 2 dogs, then gets OUT. She has not seen him enter or leave, no idea how he is doing it; both her dogs are even smaller than him, so she is worried hers could get out if they tried.

    He is at her place early, about 8 AM, she puts her out before she leaves for work. THEN he is coming here to play with Willy and Tasha. He has a route! Ha ha haaa

    I discussed him at Agility class tonight, showed them the pics. Even though he is dirty, they noted he has been trimmed recently, hasn't been out roaming too long. So if he has a route, is he going home each evening????

    If he comes around tomorrow, I will run him to my vet to see if he is chipped.
