Well, it has been twice now that I have looked outisde and heard Coopers tags on his collar jingle but he is nowhere in sight. There are cats that are on the other side of the fence so probably in an effort to "play" with them Cooper has discovered that he can dig his way over there into the neighbors yard. I guess he will have to be left in the kennel instead of the whole backyard from now on. Poor puppy!
There are ways to dig-proof the yard, but when it's not your yard then I understand why you wouldn't want to invest the time/money in that. (Involves laying stone under or in front of the fence line about 6" to 12" into the ground, or "sharp" gravel to the same depth.)
Remember the old video game dig-dug? That's what I thought of when I saw the title of this post.
I thought this post was about nose picking.
