I Need This…
Only a lot bigger. And, well, not exactly like that….but you get the idea. I need a fence. Badly. I am so tired of chasing the pugs out of the neighbor’s yard, seriously. I know what you’re thinking: “Why don’t you just leash them every time you take them outside?” Yes, that does sound easy, but it’s not. See, when Suki has to go, she starts running around the house in circles, and (this is pretty gross) her butt kind of sticks out so I know I have a matter of seconds before she has an accident. There is simply no time.
And then there’s Joey. He shows no signs of needing to go, so I’m kind of always on alert with him. And Ava trips out when the dogs need to go out because she doesn’t want to be left inside the house so I’d have to find her shoes and make sure she’s dressed and AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So you can see why it’s easier to just open the sliding glass door and watch them from inside, but Suki chased Marie a couple of days ago and I ran out after her to tell her to stop, but she had already crossed the street and was in an empty lot. Holy crap. She could have been hit by a car. She loves to chase the cats outside, or people walking, or other dogs, or cars. Pretty much anything. I need a fence.
Of course, that would mean I need about $1000, too, which I don’t have. BUT, season is here so I should start making pretty good money soon. I could save my $ for a week and pay for it, but it’s hard to do. That would probably mean I couldn’t put gas in my car so I’d have to walk the 17 miles to work, or we’d have to eat canned food or something. No bueno.

Dang, that sucks about the fence! If only you lived somewhere that snowed you could build one out of snow! Perhaps you can make one out of palm frons??

Wait, there’s actually this thing you can buy that’s like a little sensor that will emit a loud sound (that’s only heard by dogs) to stop them from running out of certain areas of the yard, and I know it’s not $1000. I’ll see if I can find it on the internet, but I know I’ve seen it in like Petsmart and stuff…

That would be awesome! I’m gonna google it right now.

Sparky’s butt hole sticks out like that too - only I’ve learned to totally appreciate it!!! He spend hours outside pacing back and forth trying to find a place to go and it is so frustrating. Patches goes on command…not sure how I lucked out with that one.
Hey, miss you…
