Spring Escape

Sassie "the Queen of ALL the house"


We can tell spring is coming the birds are up and about before first light arrives busy building and claiming their nesting spots. At times it gets quite vocal as one tries to sneak into another's house. Ollie, our one of 2 cats has decided to travel as spring approaches he gets the I need to see the other side of the world itch (which means he gets over the fence and travels the neighborhood). He and Sassie our other cat wear electric collars to keep them in the yard (which is fenced in)they trained on them very quickly and stop on the boundary. However Ollie knows if he sits just on the warning line he kills the battery and then he just climbs a tree hops on the wood shed roof and over the fence. He will return when he is hungry (he never misses a meal). There are quite a few foxes and coyotes around so that is the reason we keep them in the yard where it is safe. So a new battery for Ollie and he will be back in the yard till the urge hits him again.

Greetings and salutations,

I've just found your site (and this blog) while checking out SheltieNation's forum.

My husband, Al, and I are the proud, new human companions (since Saturday, March 21, 2009) of Gus (The Wonder Dog) offspring of "Stiker" and "Whitie".

I look forward to sharing and learning and, of course, lovin' the heck outta' Gus.

Cheers!

Jessan
