Loki and Moose ran away- and apparently had a great time!

[Jessica, Loki and Moose]

Hi all!

Part of this past week I was in Florida visiting my family and my doodles went to stay with my friend who has dogs herself and a nice fenced in yard for them to run around in. Well.... apparently two boys (mine!) had decided that they grass was greener on the other side and dug out under her fence. Thankfully- I was on a plane home, so I came home in time for them to be rescued and I didn't even know they had ran away until they were found. Now both of these guys are big and let me tell you this was a large hole, they even managed to push the fence away from the bar that runs along the grass and break the metal ties holding the chain link to that bar. So in hind sight (now that they are home safe) this is fairly impressive. However I'm not sure how they managed to be that sneaky about the digging... anyways that's for me to discuss and figure out.

From the looks of her yard they had a great time knocking over all of the bushes. They then ventured over to her neighbors house who lives across a major high way over pass and were found napping in this neighbors yard snuggled up with the neighbors dog, a half mile away. I guess when the neighbor came home from work she looked outside and saw three dogs instead of one. My best friend went over to get them and amazingly they are perfectly fine- save one small cut right above Loki's eye.

The trouble was, they managed to find every mud puddle and picker/burr bush in the city along the way and now look ridiculous! Let me be the first to say I am so happy they are now home safe and sound with no injuries because roaming around that close to a high way and it's over pass could have ended up so badly. SO couple things I have learned:

1) The grass might be greener on the other side and this would means dogs might be able to see green.

2) Even the best built fence is no match for a dog with their mind made up.

3) In a pinch- if you even need to do emergency grooming in the dark at 8pm in a drive way, the flashlight on your phone and a pair of children's scissors will give you a good start but beware of tragic results.

4) Hug and squeeze your babies and thank God for kind people out there who help out!

Here's a picture of their current hair cuts- all things considered I think I "saved" their teddy bear look-sort of.... at least they are now burr/greenery free! Loki has the blue collar and Moose has the green. 

Cheers- Jess, Loki (the instigator), and Moose (the side kick)

Glad everything turned out ok.  Loki looks so proud of himself, and Moose looks excited to tell us all about his grand adventure. Oh, and I've seen worse haircuts on professionally "groomed" dogs.

Thank you Jane and Janet! I'm so happy they are home safe. I am sure they had quiet a good time though because they slept about as hard as they do after a full day of daycare!

Thank goodness they are safe....I'm sure this was quite an adventure for them.

I am so glad they were found safe and sound!
