Caught on the Fence

I'm not posing on top of the fence for a picture.

I learned that I could jump the fence once when I was outside and it started to thunder. I am so scared of thunder. I had to find a way to escape it and that’s when I found out I could get over the fence.

I have another problem when it thunders. I can’t hold it in. So my person makes sure I get outside to take care of business when it’s going to storm, but sometimes it storms and I haven’t been out in awhile. This happened once and she made me go outside in the thunder. In the thunder! Did you hear me? Thunder is louder and closer when you’re outside.

I wasn’t going to stand around for this, so I jumped for the fence. I had to get away. My person was next to me, but I almost made it anyway. But she grabbed me – she grabbed my foot. And she wouldn’t let go.

What could I do? I was stuck on the top of the fence and I couldn’t go over because she had my foot. Could you please let go of my foot? I’ve got somewhere to go you know.

She would not let go of my foot. Then you know what she did? She opened the gate. I was on top of the gate. Now she was facing me and she pushed me back down into the yard. Right off the fence. That’s a long way down. Then she closed the gate before I could run through it. Sometimes a dog just can’t win.

Escaping Thunder

20 Aug

Yesterday it thundered – a bunch. I don’t like thunder at all. The thunder was so bad that even Scratchy the cat jumped. Thank goodness one of my people was home with me. I didn’t let her out of my sight. I feel safer if someone is with me.

Don’t ever leave me alone when it’s thundering. It’s so big it’s hard to get away from. Sometimes, if I’m outside, I can’t run fast enough to get away from it. But other times I can get away from it and I can’t hear it anymore. Then I can go back home.

I really hate it when I can’t get out of the house during a thunderstorm. I’ve tried different ways to escape. I’m pretty good at escaping from the yard, but the house is harder. Last time I tried to go out through a closet. There was stuff in the way that I had to tear through and the closet wall wouldn’t budge. One of my people said I was trying to get to Narnia. I don’t know where Narnia is, but if there’s no thunder there that’s where I want to be.
