This morning I was in the middle of house work when I could hear Shadow and some other dogs barking in my back yard. There is a fence at the edge of our property and on the other side of it live three dogs. Once in a while, they bark hello to Shadow and of course he answers back. The sounds of their barks were closer than usual so I looked out my window to see the third guy digging his way under that fence to join his fellow escapees.
I like it when Shadow interacts with other dogs. He seemed happy for their company. They took turns sniffing and of course while one of them was sniffing, the others had to go sample Shadow's food. Hmmmmm, pretty good! They are older, long haired dogs and their temperment was friendly. They were slow either because they were all three, older dogs or because the morning was very warm. The dogs' owner was looking over the fence at his buddies playing with my dog. I just waved and yelled over to him, it was alright with me but he wanted his pooches back.
He called out to them and one at a time, they went to the fence and wiggled their way back under the fence into their own yard. The guy then spread several bags of mulch through the open spaces. On my side, I had raked leaves to the bottom of the fence, but that was hardly an impediment to their freedom.
The yard quieted down and Shadow trotted back up onto the cool cement in the shade where he could maintain his vigil over the back yard. Good Dog!
