Pinky liked to run and when we moved into our new home, she
did just that! And she did it SEVERAL times a week! Once we were able to put a
fence up things were a bit more calm, however, Pinky was also a jumper and as
such, she could jump the fence. Eventually, my parents gated the back porch and
Pinky was only allowed in the yard if she was leashed. Sigh... with all of her
running I often wondered where she was headed. It was clear to me she couldn't
have found a better home. Oh well, in our family we lived for our dogs and as
such, we adjusted our lives to fit our canines.
Pepper, on the other hand, seemed to recognize a good thing
and she was not going anywhere! She could be allowed outside alone, even
unleashed, and she would never step foot out of the yard. In fact, if my Mom
had gone outside to do something and left Pepper in the house with Pinky,
Pepper would jump at the screen door until she was able to knock it open. She
never ruined the door or the screen, however, there were countless times that
she had actually tripped the screen door lock and ended up locking my Mom out
of our house! Naturally, us kids found this amusing, much to my Mom's dismay.
Did I mention Pinky doesn't like to have her picture
taken?!?
