Understand.. and over there you actually had someone swipe one of your pugs,
right?  ISTR you posting about that here at least.. :)  Ithaca is supposed to
be "cooler" haha.. well, we'll see.

That is so aggravating.. been there with our labs when we were in Kentucky..

Oh yeah, if they want out, it can be  hard to really stop them.  Priscilla and
Midnight (our original two black labs) used to work as team.. Since at the
time Midnight was bulkier (the vet called her "bertha" Lol), she'd climb up
the fence and lay down on it so the two of them could just "jump over"...

Well, now we have a 5 foot chain-link fence here.. Toby (B.Lab), Sophey and
Indy (mutt/Yellow Labs) haven't figured a way out yet.. but I did notice last
summer Indy trying to dig UNDER the fence til I screamed at him... geez.. :)

Take care,
Janis
