I'm impressed - guess we're doing a very good job...

From the doggies themselves, telling us how good a job we are doing...

I woke up late on Sunday morning, usually get woken up by the doggies around 6:30-7am, telling me they want my company and attention... It was 9:30am, the house was so quiet and when I opened my eyes, I thought for sure it was probably around 5am. Looked at the clock to see 9:30am - wow so decided being that they were so quiet, I'd read a bit. 2 minutes passed and I realized, it was too quiet!!! Got up to see what they were up to - like kids - you know they must be up to something... Well, the living room was empty so figured it was funny that they were all outside and yet so quiet. Looked out the window and found the dog run completely empty - no doggies left and we are talking about 30 pooches here so my heart stopped beating and I FREAKED! I rushed to the front door and when I opened it, they were all out there in the front lawn basking in the sun and looking at me as in saying - IT's ABOUT TIME YOU WAKE UP! Most ran right in to see me and I went out looking for the others and they were all around, even the 2 beagles, Chester came running the moment he saw me and Jenesse was under my truck taking in the shade. I went to get Jenessee, Scotch, Casey and Boots but besides that every one of them had already run into the house. Amazing little beings, stayed on the property and waited for mommy to wake up - very happy to say we must be doing quite a good job for 30 dogs to stick around and not run!! Even the 2 beagles - quite amazing. Guess they are really comfortable at home and don't mind living with us until they find their permanent homes! Good doggies, you certainly got tons of praise and cookies for being there and not running away.

Our dog runs are 1 foot in the ground so very safe and we were sure they could never get out. We never anticipated one thinking of digging under the mobile home to get out... but that is what they did, dug a whole under the mobile home, walked underneath it and went out the front trap door which wasn't completely closed! Now, we have to put patio stones the length of the mobile home so they don't get that idea again! I've already started with the area they dug out and put bricks the length of the house until we can finish with the patio stones. Smart puppy - even outsmarted the humans!
