Boxer Insane
Our house is on a busy road which is currently under major construction. On Monday morning I was on my way to work when I got a cell phone call from a man who said he had my boy Fred! My husband had just let him and Lucy out a couple minutes before the call and we had no idea how he got out. The man was right outside our house when he found Fred. DH checked the gates which were secure and we feared he had jumped the fence or found a hole under it. I got home from work and took the dogs out, hoping that Fred would show me how he escaped. It was already dark so I took a flashlight. Fred and Lucy were just going about their business as usual and then Fred headed to the fence. I was examining the fence with the light when I realized that a section of the fence had been REMOVED! Fred walked right out of the yard along side the road. I called him back and he was coming. A man in a car stopped in the road. His window must have been broken so he opened the door to talk to me, and Fred thought it was time to go for a ride and bolted toward the car. At the same time another car was coming. I screamed for Fred to stop, I was so scared. Fred twisted away from the car at the very last second, he was right by the back tire. It was horrifying. For some stupid reason the HWY Dept took down a section of our fence without letting us know. I was so mad. I made several phone calls and spoke to a worker on the road. The worker denied that they had removed the fence. A man from the HWy Dept called me today and went to my house. He aggreed that they must have done it and assured me that he would make sure it would not happen again. My Husband fixed the fence right away and he thinks that they hit the fence with a bulldozer, then moved it out of the way and forgot about it. The fence is behind a lot of thick bushes which is why we did not notice it gone. I will be inspecting the fence every day until the construction is done. I am so thankful that my boy is ok.
