Yesterday we had a lightning/thunder/hail storm. I could hear the dogs screaming but couldn't see. As storm eased, I ran over to pens. Ruthie was 'reporting' on Balto (who was not screaming). Balto had broken out of her eight foot high pen (covered in mesh and locked as she is a notorious jumper). She had then scaled the ten foot outer fence which had a top layer of wire. She had torn and become tangled in the top wire and fortunately got to the ground, but was trapped and wound in it. Now I have to get up and cut all of the top wire.
This was complicated a bit by Victor being out in the outer pen. He does not like other dogs too much so I let him free, alone, as he's very reliable on his own. He was watching her like a big lion. I offered a biscuit to him but he wouldn't budge. However, when he thought she was getting one he moved so I put treat in his pen and was able to secure him.
It took some fancy wirecutting to get Balto out, but she was unimpressed . I'm sure she would try it again, given the chance. For now she's tied, in her secured and covered pen.
Huskies and thunder, not a good mix.
