Sophia's Liberty growing quickly

[Liberty & Justice]

On the fence,I guess it would depend on what the fence is made of and how tall? I saw a chainlink fence a wolf hybrid escaped from,literally chewed some of the links out,then muscled it up and went under it.True story.
As much a pain in the ass as it would be,and costly as well I would be thinking about a block wall(about 10 feet high) around a small area next to the house with a dog door entrance into the house. Wolves scare the bejeezus out of me.Maybe even more than bears or big cats.

Oh I would love a nice blocked wall, even a high wood fence would be nice. I choose the 72" high black mesh coated chain link. So far the grand total is over 25k but that included my driveway gate. Fencing isn't cheap, my garage is just a tad more and that has a bar and a game room above it to give anyone an idea of costs........

Another dog was just attacked further south of me by 2 wolves. It was a poor defenseless beagle too.....

Piddle? Stephen,please don't use that word.

She's looking good man! My daughter is in loooove with her.Thanks for sharing the pics.

Hah I was trying to be polite......ok piss from here on out. Glad your daughter loves her......... she's a true pleasure to be around.

It would be nice to not have her crated so long but it could also really set back her potty training.

I'm hoping that is not the case Jess. I do miss working from home and being able to take the dogs with me wherever I go. Justice was a breeze in that manor of training. I feel guilty already about leaving her, let alone in the kennel alone for that amount of time. I don't have a choice at this point.

It's really too bad you weren't able to get any replies when you were looking for someone you trust to come and let them out during the day in the event you did get a super long work day like that, but I do know that you tried. It's hard in the more rural areas.

I think the fence should go to the top of your priority list since you do have the wolves so close and it would definitely keep them out of the yard that way. Even if it's a smaller one for now so you can get them out before bed and first thing in the morning.

Diva, how nice of you to think about fostering those two when the rescue is over run like that! We'll definitely be looking for some photos.
By coincidence, Albert is wearing the red wrap right now too since his left ear decided to give me problems when he keeps sleeping on it so hard and I had red on hand . The tape was a great thing before, but at this point no matter where I position it at the top, it was denting his ear and making it flip worse at the tip. :shakinghead:

You know Jan it is a shame for sure. I see TONS of poor, jobless people at Target/Walmarts, you'd think they'd jump at the opportunity to make some cash while they sit on my dime for welfare, ssi, etc. I see so many people at work that are on Disability and they are fully capable of working. Makes me sick actually, but it's the world we live in.

LOL, we use tinkle as an affectionate term or pee. Piss sounds so stinky and unfeminine for little Liberty...

I'll use Potty to save face.........

Stephen have you thought about a porta pen? Maybe in the garage or part of the house she can't do much damage?It worked well for us.

I'd like to try that actually. It would give her room enough to roam, although her kennel is huge, not nearly big enough for that duration of time. I'll go pick one up tomorrow or order one on Amazon tonight. I can put her in the basement as it's unfinished. Was kind of worried about Justice knocking it down though to go play with her. I have cameras at the home I can monitor but not much I could do from hundreds of miles away like I usually am.

I understand. It does suck. The first summer I left to come out to STL Spock was only 6 months old and Pat was working 12 hr shifts. We had a nice 6ft wooden fence at the time so we put in a dog door and gated off the kitchen/dog door from the rest of the house so he could go out to relieve himself as he needed and come inside as he wanted. It worked well for us but our situation was very different from yours. I hope you can find something that will work for you.

Me too Jess. It bothers me every morning I leave. I wish there was a daycare or something locally but again I'm very rural and there is nothing around. There is a place in Duluth but they are limited on time, so I'd have to cut my day by coming in late and leaving hours early which wouldn't work out for me very well. Soon enough she'll be old enough to be out and about in the house. I'll rig something up down stairs that gives her ample room to play, and not feel confined so much.

Several well placed zip ties would probably handle the Justice issue.
