How can we get a fence?

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Hey doods. Lady P here.

 

So what can a doodle do to get a fence around here?  So mom and dad got us this new house with a really big yard and guess what doods?  I have to be put on a leash or attached to that pole while mom and dad are outside!  Dood they won't let me run on my own! 

 

It was getting old, so I decided to pull one over on daddy.  Saturday night, he was down in the basement taking the recycling out and dood, the second he opened the door next to the garage, I flew out!  Little did he know I was lurking in the basement waiting for my freedom! 

 

I did a few zig-zag zoomies in the back yard, up the hill, down the hill, back up to the woods, back down.  Then dad turned around and said "I am going inside Peri, do what you want".  Well that scared me and I ran to the backdoor to look for mom. Thank goodness she was there and let me in.  She wasn't very happy with me though, but still gave me a hug and a high-5 for coming back.

 

So my question is, how do I get them to put one of those fence, gate-thingies up?  Mom said something about "saving" for one that is "pretty". What the dood?  Can I have a treat sale or something?  I would sell some tennis balls if mom and dad would buy me a fence. Geeeessshhhh.

 

Any tips appreciated.

Luv your friend Lady Peruna, aka Peri.

Hey, Peri, I'm pretty sure a fence is high on your mom and dad's priority list! Be patient! The humans have this stuff called money, and it takes lots of it to get good things like houses and fences, not to mention antlers!

Your mom never let you down before, I'm pretty sure she's going to come through with a fence, too. In the meantime, be on your best behavior and it might happen faster!

Your friend,

Callie - everyone knows doodles are "pets" so I don't see why you can't swim in the pool!  Maybe you could hop in when mom isn't looking - you can swim, right?

Lady P - we don't have a yard, but we do have a community dog park so I get to run and run most days. I just need my mom to figure out a way to make it cooler where we live and I think a pool is the answer. She said the comminuty pool has a sign that says "no pets" but aren't rules MADE to be broken? It's April and already has hit 90 degrees.

Maybe your momma could get you a very long leash. Then you can run and have zoomies and still be on leash. I am never allowed in the backyard alone. I like to dig... Or eat bad things... I can be in it off leash though. I have a fence. Even if I didn't have a fence, there would be nowhere for me to go. We live right on the lake and I don't like water. I used to have a very long leash but someone chewed it....

Hang in there Peri...it will be so worth the wait.  Don't make mom worry either.  That isn't good.

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Thanks doods.  I do get a few walks a day!  I think I must be lucky doods.  

Kim can you send me your old fence?????

[Clifford, Cloud, Jake..and Kim]

Lady Peri - my mom and dad are looking into getting a different fence, maybe I can send you my old one so you can be free to run like the wind, it is pretty cool to be able to have our own doodle romp whenever we go outside.

Sorry to hear about the no fence, Peri.  Maybe you could learn to never ever leave the yard?  It would be really hard though. What if there was a squirrel, or a lizard, or the mailman came. Or, oh goodness, what if another dog came without your permission.  We have a dog friend that never ever leaves his yard, we have to go up on his grass to say hello.  He is pretty old though, so maybe that's why. 

On the other hand you must get to go for walks a really lot.  We don't always get a walk everyday if Mom is busy or her back is bad.  What does that mean anyway? How can a back be naughty?  So look on the bright side - lots and lots of walks.

Hey guys, Oliver here, at least you have a yard to be sort of free, if only off leash with Mom or dad.  we live in a golf community, and we have a big screened porch, but I see the big grassy golf course, just outside the screening and I want to do my zoomies out there, but Mom says NO!!!!!!!!....So I guess I have to just settle for walks, and zoomies in the house.  But this week, Renny & I are at "camp".  Our dog sitter is taking us to her house for the week, and she has 5 acres for us to run and play...BUT the bad part is that Mom & Dad won't be there, oh well we can handle it for a week, Lori loves us and we get to play with her kids, and her dogs!!!...

Peri I would like a fence too. Heck, I don't even have a yard! Tough life for a dood like me.. - Darwin
