Mel.......
.......i was very unhappy with the boy today !
After spending the morning grocery shopping and hitting the bogo sales at two grocery stores, i had a load of frozen stuff.....i called DH to meet me at the gate, as soon as i pulled up and the gate was opened....MEL took off, wouldn't come when I was calling him...so off I go on foot following him and trying to be sure he doesn't hit the woods. The darn stinker took off down a street I won't even drive on (crack heads)...and here i am on foot trying to get him, DH got in the truck and caught up with me, and we found him in a trashed out yard, nose to nose with a white, intact pitbull.....oh $hit, i have to trespass onto this property and hope i don't get shot, cut by some trash on the ground or bit by a snake ,let alone deal with a pissed off pit.....Mel continued to make me follow him all around that property till he was cornered by a fence and I could grab his collar.
The property owner came out and i apologized for tresspassing and my dog....
DH drove home , and i walked the four blocks with Mel holding him by the collar....
He is laying on the floor inside right now, and i just simply told him to never do that again....
We will have a talk later...when I catch my breath

Bad dog Mel!!!! If he keeps that up you'll need a double gate system. Or maybe a rope and clip permanently attached near the gate so he can be clipped in before the gate is opened (or opened wider than necessary to get you in the yard, close the gate, clip him in then open the gate for the vehicle.
Did I remember to say BAD DOG MEL!!! ?

I'm still pissed off at him....making me walk that far into a crack area...I told leon, if Mel wants a long walk on the hot tar, i will put a leash and he can stroll beside the side by side for a few miles.....DH thought that would be mean...ugh...what about my swollen ankles ?

How high is your fence and do you have it hotwired? If Mel wants to go on walkabout, you need to head that off before he jumps the fence. At Joe's, he didn't know that he could jump the fence. Trip got stupid and started jumping the fence and would do it with me watching him. He has been behind a hot wire ever since that.

The fence is 4 ' and is going to be replaced as part of the new fencing project.
None of the dogs listen to DH.....he isn't alpha, DH opened the gate and expected Mel to listen to him, lol...by the time I got out of the truck Mel had already hit the corner ......didnt come when i called him either...
New fence will be no climb, may get hot wired, or invisable fence a foot inside of outter fence.....
Every day is a new adventure.......I hope this is just a hormonal moment....
