<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Californian FB"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>First, thank you all for your suggestions about how to keep Ms. Priss
Diva’s hind end in the yard. We used some heavy cinderblocks,
stakes above and below ground around the gate and put up some more chicken wire
and left them alone for a few hours Saturday to test the parameter. We
let our neighbors next door know what was going on and they volunteered to
watch for any attempt at an escape. We figured Diva wouldn’t try
anything if we were home and she knew it. Anyway, she didn’t try to
get out, but we have learned our lesson and won’t be leaving them like
that anymore. The kids are home all summer so we will have until late
August to come up with a permanent plan, whatever that may be. I really
appreciate all the feedback I received. It is so nice to have such a wonderful
place to turn to for help.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Californian FB"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Second, my little Sophie goes in to have that awful bump removed
tomorrow morning. Please send a little drool her way that everything will
go smoothly and my little Sophie doo dah will be back home, bumpless and doing
her doot doot dance tomorrow like nothing ever happened. God I can’t
believe how worried I am! I keep telling my self that this is a routine
procedure and she’ll be just fine, but that’s the logical, not
emotional voice I’m hearing. Ok, deep breath…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Californian FB"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>On a funny note, yesterday evening my neighbor behind us was cutting
his grass and I heard the girls barking up a storm, so I go out back to find
Sophie at the gate “bark! Bark! Bark!” and Diva at my husband’s
feet looking up at him “bark! Bark! Bark!” and he’s looking
down going “yes! I know! I see it! I hear it! What
is that! Ooh, yeah?!? Then what happened? Really?!?” and she’s
just telling him all about the whole thing. I stood there watching until
I couldn’t hold it anymore and I just busted out laughing! It was
SOOOO cute. I talk to them like that all the time, but it’s so
funny when he does it (especially when he thinks no one is watching!)
they have him hooked! Lol<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
