MELS. NEW ADVENTURES

[B&B Happy goats]

Well I guess I really messed up today...yep me...Mel...
The wrinkled people were here working at 8:30....they had the gate just a crack opened...ahhhhhhaaaa....I was gone! The wrinkles tried chasing me, i almost tripped over my own feet laughing...
Then they went and told my alpha mom...so i really booked it. I could hear that yellow machine looking for me and her stopping and asking people if they had seen me and giving out her phone number.....i just stayed outta sight, i was having my walk about no matter who got mad. She drove around me every where and couldn't find me...it was so funny to see her so mad at me !
Finally the yellow machine went home...oh boy, freedom !
I thought i saw her drive down the road in the red truck kinda slow.....wonder where she is going....doesn't she want me anymore? She isn't chasing me
About a hour later i saw one of the wrinkles go past me in his truck, then i found a really cool yard full of garbage and all kinds of fun stuff.....all of a sudden the yellow machine showed up with the man on it, he came up to me and i knew i wouldn't be in any trouble with him, he is always nice. So i got a leash put on me and trotted along side the machine home.....
When alpha mom had gotten home i came to greet her and stood right in front of that red truck to show her i was back and still a independent boy...i stood right there and didnt move! She did something to that red truck cuz it was screaming at me to move....so i moved to the left four feet...that red truck came at me screaming ! I casually moved to the right, it came after me again ! WTH is up her butt ? , i just went for a walk about....geez
She didn't say a word to me and it hurt my feelings, so i went way under the porch. I saw her go up the steps and come right back down ....she was comming at me with the leash...oh no ...i think i am in trouble...
Well here i sit out on the back porch, no air conditioning, won't let me inside and alpha isn't talking to me....although i did hear her call the vets office and tell them i was found and she was talking about a GPS tracking device......??????
Love to all, your BYH friend Mel

Mel should meet Gracie.

Can't like that one, I'd be fuming too. You are going to have to put in a double gate, as in open gate #1, go into enclosed space, open gate #2 and enter the yard (with gate #1 firmly shut behind you)

I believe there are tracking device collars, hunters use them.

When a dog does this there is a reason. We should talk.
Walk a bouts are generally for two reasons and can be addressed and fixed.

We are looking the tracking devices right now.....the ones i have found are just tags that hang on his collar and you can use cell phone to track .... can't blame him for wanting to explore the area he lives in, and when a dummy leaves a gate open.........
I really am wondering if he would like me to take him for a trot e/o day with the "yellow" machine.....???

Still waiting to hear from @Southern by choice about her thoughts on Mel, but this afternoon Mel was very clinginy to me...so we spent alot of time together...he just wanted my attention, hugs and time.... perhaps his hormones are still wacked, ...
We have a second gate that could be used to double gate but due to DH physical issues he refuses to have get out and open and close two gates....while I win most battles, I will let him have this one. We moved here with one dog and a cat and his handicaps.
I have brought the other two dogs, chickens, rabbits and goats into our home and i take care of them as well.
I have no complaints about Mel, the world he came from suddenly changed, and now he is here.in a diffrent state and home......that is alot of adjustments to make in a short time for him , then add the nutering, people here working, new noises, new smells...heck sometimes I want to get outta here! Got to give the boy some credit, he really is a magnificent creature

Hey BB I am slammed busy but may be able to talk later. First... DON'T BABY HIM! I don't care how clingy he wants to be don't feed into it. I told you there are consequences to neutering but I also understand why you had to do it with the knucklehead neighbor.
Taking his testosterone away will alter behavior. If he acts clingy tell him to "knock it off!" Say "what's your problem? Knock it off, go lay down."
DO NOT FEED INTO THIS. If you give an inch he will take a mile. Neutered LGD's can be a PITA.
We need to talk about him respecting DH too. You know one of his brothers was on track to be certified therapy unfortunately the family really dropped the ball. He has the potential to do many things so lets stop this BS he is doing now.

How about the inner gate being electric so you can open it from the truck?
