Not only through but over!
Once again Osca alarms us with her “escape-ades”… This afternoon it was Jake who decided to take himself off next door (their gate was open) and wander down to see the geese. When I realised where he’d gone, I secured the girls (so I thought!) in their 7ft-high fenced runs and went round to see my neighbour. We got close to the boundary hedge between our field and their wood, looking for Jake and we could hear Osca whining at the fence and there was a thud. I thought she was just banging against the kennel and turned my attention to finding Jake (who was still hiding in the 6 acres of woodland!). Finally he came running round the corner and we headed back home. Just about to leave and someone else careered round the corner – Osca! She had only managed to get over a 7 ft fence and through a thick hawthorn hedge!! We think that the “thud” was her using the dog house as a spring board to launch herself over the top. I am surprised she didn’t hurt herself – she has a slightly cut lip but nothing worse.
So back to the drawing board. I have moved the kennels away from the fence and am hoping it was a one off because she was left on her own (the other girls were watching with amazement from the other run!). If not she may have to move to a smaller covered run when we are not able to supervise her
