Squeeeeze.

Furry Murray has grown a lot this last week. Hopefully enough he can't squeeze through the gaps in the fence anymore.

We left him outside last week at night (after barking a lot in the crate the first night). Brad built him a kennel outside with a heat lamp & cedar chips. He likes to go in there. But in the middle of the night I heard barking.

Lots of little baby-puppy barking.

So finally I checked on him & couldn't see him from the back door. Hmmm. The barking is coming from the other door.

He'd squeezed out of the fence & was sitting on the other back steps barking for us to let him in. I was so glad he hadn't wandered off or that someone hadn't taken him. Or that he didn't get into the street.

I didn't sleep for awhile after that. He's been the crate at night since & hasn't barked hardly at all.

He's a great fetcher too! No training & could fetch. Wish I could say the same for housebreaking. Can you breed them for that skilll?
