Good fences makes keeping animals so much easier
GREAT STORY!!!!HahahaAs I was bragging about our fence, Trip our Great Pyrenees decided to make a liar out of me. We went to TSC last week, he clearly wanted to go, but we didn't take him. To make it worse, we took Carson. When we came back, I saw a white blob waaaay down the road. It was Trip. He got out.
We left for the day yesterday, real early. I saw it in his face, he wanted to go, but we were going to be gone all day to several unfriendly to giant dog places. We got about 50 miles away and a neighbor called, he had Trip and was at our gate. I asked him to put Trip on the porch, he did. Called other neighbor and he went to our house, put a leash on Trip, per my instructions, and dragged him to the backyard gate. Trip DID NOT want to go in THERE as it is hot wired. Couldn't ask the first neighbor to put Trip in there as Paris, our female GP was back there and she would have eaten him up. She likes the second neighbor.
Soooo..... Mr Smarty climbed the gate, it is wire filled on the bottom, a gap, then the top bar. He then sauntered across Pasture #2 to the same type gate that goes to the pipeline. Once there, he executed the same gate squeezing performance and was then out on the pipeline pasture. The pipeline workers set a gate for their access and didn't do a very tight job of it, there is a Great Pyrenees head sized gap between the gate and gatepost, but only if you push and wiggle at the same time.
Having gained his freedom, he went to see what our neighbor was doing, and you know what happened next.
I closed the gap between the wire filled part and the top bar of the gate that leads to pasture #2 with some wire, I hog ringed it on there. Trip is still in the back yard.
Paris was closed up because we were expecting a hay delivery, how fortunate.
%$@#(&% DOG!!!
Should change Trip to HoudiniWell, you did name him Trip.
