Subject: Nicky, I DO worry all of the time. My husband has put fence and barriers everywhere that we think he is getting out, but he manages to find a way. I want to get a electric fence, but the hubby won't let me. I THINK that he just goes and plays around in the back of our house where there is a lot of woods and water. It would kill me if something bad happened to him. Well, i'm off to check on him now! - Karen

Subject: Sorry Karen - I didn't want you to feel bad! I had a Houdini dog at one point too. We had him in fensed in yard and finally figured out that he actually climbed the chain link fense to get out (in record time). Then we put him on a collar and leash - got out of that. Then we got a harness. The strangest thing was to see that leash and harness laying on the ground, dog gone - harness still fully attached. And this was a big dog! From then on in, he got walked but it was a real pain and my neighbors thought I was such a ditz - they didn't want to here my excuses when they brought the dog back anymore than I want to hear my neighbor's excuses. It's a tough situation. I feel for you, but I feel for the dog mostly, but also for people who are petrified of unleashed dogs and motorists who can kill themselves trying not to hit him! I hope you find a way soon! Nicky

Subject: Thanks Nicky. I do love my pets...but things happen. Thankfully, he is such a smart and good boy, that he doesn't go far, seems to say out of the road, and always comes back. But you never know about that day when something unexpected could happen, and I don't want to go through it. So when hubby gets home tonight, we will go through the yard again to look for the 'way out..' I don't worry too much about him bothering people, because he steers clear of most people. That's what I've found out about Chows. They are extremely loving & loyal to their owners, but don't give anyone else a second thought. I'll try to beat this situation and keep you updated!

Subject: (Sam) There's a Chow that lives on our street that goes out for a walk by himself every night. Everyone is scared of him because he's killed a couple of cats. He also takes the time to crap or pee on every lawn he comes across. I'm surprised someone hasn't taken things into their own hands now since the owners don't seem to give a damn. So, sorry, but I don't find this story funny at all, and I hope you can figure out how he escapes soon.
