Been thinking about the need for a new fence in our back garden. Yep, confirmed, need to do it!
We have a Jack Russell terrier, along with a Labradoodle and a Bernedoodle. The doodles are bigger, friendly, laid back and aren’t bothered about anything. The Jack Russell is about 8-9 months old and is starting to notice rabbits, and she tries to catch them. She will get one soon, I’m sure.
Anyway, the little bugger made a hole in the wooden fence (it’s not in great condition) and has been outside four times today. Once she did it once, she did it again and again. I will need to patch it but now that she has learned what to do I think we need a new fence, a metal one.
It’s almost 11pm and I just let her out for a wee, before going to bed, and she saw a rabbit, chased it right through the hole in the fence, and sprinted off after it into the night. I got a torch and called her and she came back. There are coyotes in the area and it won’t end well if she spends much time on the other side of the fence.
We now have an extendable lead by the back door. This will be the new system, and hopefully we will get a metal fence installed soon. Mrs ROTW has been looking tonight. There is something called a puppy fence, where the metal bars on the lower part are closer together, so puppies, or small dogs like Jack Russell terriers, can’t wiggle through. That’s the idea anyway. We will probably spend thousands and she will find a way to tunnel under, or something.
I love the breed. Had one growing up and they are so intelligent, but also crazy, feisty, adventurous, and all the things that make you either love them or hate them.
