Sneaky

As previously mentioned I live with a picket style fence. One part is new and one part is old, as we did not see any reason to renew the one side. Well, I think I need to renew or fix the old fence because I have an escape artist.

Unfortunately, Kai spent her day cooped up from 9:30 to about 2, because I had a funeral to attend. I took her out at around 8 for a walk and when I came home we went for another walk. It was such a beautiful day that I gave Kai a bath taking off her collar and tags. Then I let her outside and followed after her as we both had to dry off. I brought books, magazines and the paper thinking after our walk that Kai would be tired. I did not realize that she still was energized, nor did I realize that a food truck was sitting at the school yard. Delicious smells wafting into the yard.

I looked up from my book to see my dog on the otherside of the fence heading down the street without her tags, leash or me. I called to her, she turned, realized that I was not with her and came back. I asked her, not expecting an answer, how did you get out. She promptly showed me by going over to the only loose board on the old fence, nudging it aside and escaping through the branches. Then she ran back and forth and finally down the alleyway with me in hot pursuit. She headed for the front yard but, thank heavens, ran into my neighbor who picked her up and gave her back to me. I put her in the house and went scrounging for a hammer and nails. Unfortunately, none of my nails did the trick so I had to place tons of stuff in front of the fence and see if there were any other potential escape routes.

My neighbor told Kai she should not tell me all her secrets, I just think it is funny that she did. Tomorrow I head to Lowes, crawl under a hedge and start nailing the fence pickets back in place. Anybody have any bandages for scrapes that I am sure I will have?

Thank you for reading my adventures with Kai, I think I am up for many more excursions into the wild side of a puppy.
