My dog is an escape artist. She's super nervous, being a Weim. Mega separation anxiety, and she's totally attached to Mrs. Noah (who's the one who picked her up as a rescue). In the past, we'd get calls from neighbors that she had escaped the house while we were away from home. Usually because we had left the side gate unlatched and there's a kitty door in the backyard. So with a little vigilance that was corrected.
Recently we've been getting renewed calls that the dog has been escaping. She had finally scratched/eaten her way through part of a wooden gate along the side of the yard. A trip to Home Depot and some power tool magic later, problem fixed.
A few weeks later we got another call she had still gotten out. Seems like she just pushes on the gate until she can squeeze her skinny little body between the gate and post. A scrap of wood and some wood screws rectified that.
Or so I thought. Now she's scaling a 5'6" fence on the other side of the house. There are muddy paw prints along the back of said vinyl fence (where it abuts the side of the house) as proof. I think she's doing this Jackie Chan-style, using the side of the house as climbing leverage. Mrs. Noah didn't believe this, so she pretended to leave the house, and staked it out from a neighbor's. After about half-an-hour the dog sauntered out from that side of the house, slightly huffing and puffing.
I need a taller fence.
