so i got a call a few minutes ago... "hey, did you lose a dog?". figured someone found a similar dog and found a flyer i must have missed. turns out she got out again today. the thunderstorms must have freaked her out. she's always been terrified of them, but never had the urge to run from it.
the only way she could have gotten out was the same way as before, but the window was closed this time (and still closed when i got home). i think she opened it herself, and it closed itself after her (it needs a stick to stay open). i need bars on it i guess.
too smart + taste of freedom = bad news
but at least this time i had a good phone number etched into her tags so i got the call right away. she made it across main street to a small cluster of homes, still within sight of my place. i wonder if she made it across main street with skill or luck.

Once they learn a way out its sooo hard to stop them plotting to do it again. For years I left my windows open in the summer with screens on them and it was enough to keep Noodles and Sam in, then one day Noodles (the instigator of everything evil) must have pushed hard enough to pop one out and then none of my windows were safe till I found a way to secure them. Then since she KNEW that this was a way out she started scratching and biting at the screen.........so now I have no screens on my windows or my doors. Bugs come and go as they please...............hope one bites her. yars

Have you tried putting an old tee shirt on Lacy when the thunder is loud? Supposedly you put it on then bunch it up in back so its snug around her chest.........for some reason its supposed to calm dogs that are afraid of loud noises. They even sell stuff that has velcro to snug around them but a old tee shirt is free, plus it smells of you.
Glad she is home.............again!

My dog, of course, has an attitude problems. Would you think of it looking at her ? She races out into the yard to bark at thunder storms, fireworks and passing F-16s :rollface: :rollface: I tell you, the fenced in yard was the best investment we made when we moved in to the house.

alright. now she's just making me look stupid. got out again today. 15 minutes after i got in to work, got the call. she crossed main street again and made it 1/2way to my office before someone grabbed her. no clue how she got out this time. it's like someone is screwing with me and letting her out. i think i'm going to pretend to leave sometime and stake the place out and watch to see how she's doing it.
sooooooo frustrating.......................Similar threads
