Apparently 4 cups of dog food and 2 walks a day is not enough to keep the puppies happy. Now they are both big enough to jump over our fence. They like to do this at night and early in the morning while it's still cool enough to run through the fields. I don't really have a problem with it - I know they don't go too far. It's just that, by nature, they chase things. So, if a rabbit or low flying bird crossed the street, there wouldn't be any stopping them. It's a good thing there isn't much traffic down our road.
I guess they haven't been successful at catching things either...though what they do find (beer cans mostly) they like to leave in the front yard for Brian and I to pick up in the morning. Maybe I should try and get them on the city payroll?
Anyway, Brian and I have been considering options for containment. The last time we went out of town, Buddy decided he felt too neglected and followed one of our neighbors a mile to their house. So, even if their night-time wandering is mostly harmless, we're a little concerned about the trouble they could get into if left alone too long. Guess we need an invisible dog fence?
