| If you can't stand the heat, get out of the yard |
My dog is in heat. The once charming, quiet and timid little Sophie is now a pain in the ass. She's figured out a way to escape the backyard and we've had to make a few motifications to cover up the spaces in the fence. Our back yard looks pretty ghetto now. We constantly have to watch her when we put her out because she no longer goes for that little pee or poopie, she plans her mode of attack.
The thing with Sophie is she has quite the personality. She has a mind that surpasses any dog I've seen before. She's like James Bond in the puppy world. This is how it happens: I let her out. I watch her. She doesn't do her business so I wait some more. She goes to the fence and sniffs the air. That's not unusual because she often sniffs the air. She has an incredible sense of smell. Anyway, that's when she looks back as if to mock me and say "Ha ha sucker, you will never keep me here!" Then she squeezes her little body like a contortionist (sp?) through that fence and my mouth spits every cuss word I know.
I put on shoes that aren't mine and are about two sizes too big. I didn't have any clean socks that day so I opted just not to wear any. So I'm running out into the back yard, through the mounds of snow. I hop the fence because it's faster than opening the gate, and I walk behind the townhouses. I don't run because running just makes Sophie take off and run herself. I'm calm and I grab a stick, more like a tree branch, to coax her too me. "Come get the toy Sophie". She looks back, takes a pee then keeps walking. She peed too fast I couldn't grap her.
Now keep in mind my ex lives at the end of the complex. It's a row of townhouses and I'm at one end then about 20 doors down is my ex. I was hoping the dog would stop before she got that far. She didn't. She went right around the ex's place. Shit. I kept calling Sophie walking through keep snow. Having the snow fall into my shoes freezing the skin. I'm surprised I didn't get frost bite. We got to the front of the complexes and finally she stopped. She knew I wasn't goign to give up plus I think she was getting cold.
Stupid dog. I had to carry her back to the house and I threw her inside. Yeah you heard me. I threw her. She was airborn for half a second. After going through what I did, she deserved it. After that we decided to Sophie-proof the fence. So far it's working but we'll see.
