Houdini

You will not believe what happened!  Mom was shocked and it happened in front of her very eyes.  We were playing fetch like usual.  Mom threw the ball and it bounced through the fence.  Now we have a vinyl fence with slats but dad put up chicken wire to keep us from going through it when we were tiny puppy dogs.  BUTT, since I am an EXCELLENT fetching dog, I HAD to retrieve the ball.  So as it slipped out the fence, so did I.


I really don't know why mom got so excited.  She started calling me Houdini!  The chicken wire is pushed down on big parts of the sides of our fence cuz we get a little excited when the kids come over or when the khat teases us.


So the next thing I know we were in the truck and on our way to Home Depot.  Dad bought a whole bunch of fencing.


Even where the chicken wire was still in tact mom said we needed to put up new fencing.


While mom and dad were doing it mostly me and Stanley played.


But we kinda felt like we should offer to help.


Stanley isn't what you would call a hard worker.  I'm the one who mostly helps dad.


But sometimes I get sidetracked.


 When mom and dad finished one side and moved to the other we had to play in our hiding bush.




 We hide in it all the time and it makes us smell funny.

I planted this flower to remind me of my girlfurend Ruby cuz it is red.


OK, now I gotta get back outside to help mom and dad finish the fencing.  Mom says she will not let me play Houdini again.  Who is that guy?  He must be handsome!

Houdini?!? More like supernatural! How in dog's creation did you fit your head through that slat?!? That space doesn't even look big enough for me to fit through. Wow! Way to make the parents do some work though, eh?

Hailey's littermate was named Houdini, wonder if it was because he would disappear too! That is a great trice that we are gonna try . . . oh wait, we don't have a fence!

OMD, Murphy, maybe we're related! Did you know my middle name is Houdini? Momma named me that when I showed her how I could get out of my crate when I furst came to live with her, no matter HOW many ways she tried to latch it closed, and could even open doors. I never got through chicken wire, though, so I don't know why your momma called you by MY name.

OMPUG how in the world did you slip through that tiny opening, you must have greased your body wif CRISCO or somefin like that...we are glad your dad made the fence safer for you guys though, mom is paranoid about our fence all the time...I am surprised she doesn't have guard towers built on every corner.

There are a few gaps in our fence, but we doggies are too big to get through. But the bunnies get through sometimes, and then can't find their way out. I love chasing bunnies!

Oh, your poor mom. You must have given her quite the scare! Glad you are secure again.

Don't worry about having to catch a cat to hug today. We're happy with the virtual one you sent. :)

OMD! You can perform disappearing acts like the famous Houdini?! Don't try the handcuff trick in water though. Just sayin'

Noodle4President said...

How in the world did you get through that little space?!?!?! You ARE magic! P.S. your pictures made me laugh today. *ear licks*

When I first came to live with mum, she swore she was gonna rename me Houdinette cos I kept escaping out the door and was so quick that she never knew where I was. I think I told everybody about the last time I escaped -- I was being under house arrest cos the lady who had the dogs that bit me said I bit her (I told mum I didn't and she believed me, but animal cop didn't). Anyway, mum was struggling to get her wheelchair out the door and I squeezed out. This time though, I didn't run as fast, and every time I came to a corner I checked she was still following me. she finally caught up with me!!!! I got a tongue lashing, but it was worth it!!!!

Holy Dogs that is impressive. I would have payed money to see that! You must have kind of rubber insides or something. I am sorry they messed it up for you so you can't do it again. I love the hiding bush.

Houdini was hairy. That's all I know.
Sorry we've gotten so behind reading and commenting! It's all our mom's fault; we're trying our bestest to get caught up this week!

You got through that little skinny part? You need some more treats...build yourself up, boy. (Although when we saw it to scale next to your dad, we could understand a bit better.) Now at least that pesky ball will stay where it's supposed to be.

Poodle At Play said...

You got through that tiny little space?! Wow! How did you managed that...Houdini (whoever that is!) indeed!

Hi boys, We have chicken wire inside our wrought iron fence, so now pups can escape, but we may have to get rabbit wire because the bunnies can still get in and out. They are carrying a bad disease and we don't want Hunter to get sick. Love all your flowers. You'll be safer now, don't want you getting out and lost.
Have a great evening.
