Mugging for snuggles

H.B. has happily had the company of Pearl and Luna for the last 5 weeks, but he is starting to get bored with all the extra company -

One night last week when The Shepherd got home from work, he noticed several of his larger bonsai plants had been knocked over - thinking that perhaps one of the neighborhood dogs had gotten in between when he left at 7:30 a.m. and I leave at 8:30, he set about righting everything - but then he realized he didn't see any dog tracks on the ground - instead, there were lots of little hoof prints around - he quickly ruled out deer - as #1 - they were little prints and #2 - we don't have any deer in our neighborhood...

So he walked the fence line and found a spot about two feet where the field fence had been broken through - and low and behold - there was all this fuzzy black wool caught in the wire - this little Houdini had broken through the fence, and from the pattern of prints left, he munched his way through the nursery - (thankfully not eating any poisonous plants - he's still here) - took a little trip into the barn and munched a bunch of hay (probably why he wasn't hungry enough to munch on the rhododendrons) - went over to see his buddies Danny and Taylor and THEN, apparently looking at his watch and realizing that if he wasn't back in the pasture when dad got home from work, he'd be in big trouble - wiggled his way BACK through the fence and back into the pasture.


Oh, yes, you are a big pain in the butt, and yes, I'll scratch you back there on your shoulder where it feels so good -

Some guys have all the luck...
