The Side Yard

We have a fenced in area on the side of our house (aka the side yard).  I'm sure I have blogged about it in previous posts. It's an area that we usually put the dog when the back yard is muddy.

Pippen hates being on the side yard.  I'm not sure why he dislikes it so much.  He used to hang out there with Newton.  I guess, even then, he didn't like it.  Newton, on the other hand, was pretty laid back and would just hang out there and enjoy himself.

Lately, we have tried putting Pippen on the side yard.  I say "tried" because within minutes he has escaped.  Thus the nickname, Houdini.  He's pretty skinny and has fit through some tiny areas.  He's destroying our fence (that was installed a couple of years ago because he was breaking through our old, rotting fence).

During the spring and fall months our back yard becomes rather muddy.  Pippen has a tendency to run back and forth in front of the fence and somehow ends up full of mud.  RT decided to put a stop to all of this madness and "secure" the side yard.

RT spent the day "securing" the side yard.  The inside of the fence is now lined with metal chicken wire.  He said there were a few more things he wanted to do, but, first wanted Pippen to "test" it out.  Within five minutes, Pippen was free.

Stay tuned for round two.
