Tonight at 11:00 our nice neighbour who feeds Shawdy bread knocked on our door to tell us that Shawdy had escaped again and she was in the middle of the road, probably barking at cars. It was very nice of him to come and tell us, he was worried about her getting hurt.
We searched the "compound" to see where she had been "testing the fence for weaknesses" (like the raptors in Jurassic Park) and sure enough there was a few bent areas and one big hole where she had pushed up the chain link from the fence post and escaped. Her collar was lying there at the scene. I don't know why she would try to escape tonight - her Auntie Laura took her for a huge walk in the forest today.
I suspect that she got a whiff of a campfire at the park - brought back memories to our old house on the lake when our neighbour Larry would have fires weekly and burn his garbage, including Shawdy's favorite - chicken bones. She would always come back from her adventures smelling like campfire, so we knew where she had been. Tonight she had a big soot mark on her head, and the other dogs were very interested in smelling her feet. She is so naughty, I don't know what to do with her. Is an electric fence the next step? She is so sneaky, always has been.
