My daughter's dog has been with me since Thanksgiving. She was going to come get him but the virus slammed the brakes on that. Loki is longer than he is tall, weighs 45 pounds and thinks he is a lap dog. I'm having a real problem with Loki, Honey, and Roxie trying to kill my lizards and I won't have that. I have huge lizards and skinks in my yard and I want them there. They keep the bug population under control. I also feed the birds. I have flowers for the bees, but I don't have bees. I have seen one bumble bee and one honey bee and both were dying on my patio from poison. It is disgusting what we have done to our environment.
Anyway, little miss priss, Roxie, learned she could squeeze out of the yard. I have caught her 4 times. The first time, she was across the street on the corner. The second and third times, I saw her wiggle under the gate. Well, I dropped the gate to where she can only stick her tongue under it. So she wiggled through between the gate and fence. So I'm out there this morning attaching hardware cloth (wire) to the gate so she can't wiggle out. I do not let her in the back yard without me now and I won't trust her again. She only weighs 7 pounds. You would think she would be afraid of her shadow, but she is not. I gave her a bath and haircut yesterday. She was so mad at me. But she is cooler now. She has so much hair. I think she is more Bichon than poodle. She has the fur of a Bichon. I have never had a poodle with hair that dense. It is almost like she has two coats. And I am so glad she found me.
