I "lost" Tucker two days ago. I was in the backyard with my daughter and we were all playing together. My daughter started talking to me and when we were through, Tucker was gone! I have a fenced in backyard too!! I freaked out!!! My daughter and I ran into the front yard. I did not see him and we both started to cry. (yes we're a very dramatic family) I thought I was going to be sick. He has ID tags on, but that would not stop a car or a thief. Anyway I walked into my side yard and there he was hanging out. My husband built the fence a few years ago and without a yorkie in mind. When he did, he drilled holes in the yard to set the fence. He apparently drilled one that was off and had to drill again, so there is this hole, mind you a very small hole, right by the fence. Anyway, that is the only way I can figure that he got out. I didn't even know the dumb hole was there. I have since inspected the yard and put bricks by anything that looks like an escape route, but this is only a temporary fix. We will be putting chicken wire down accross the entire bottom of the fence. He's never alone outside, but now I'm afraid to take him outside into my fenced in backyard without a leash on!! |
