Since Jonah is such a naughty dog, he has insisted on digging out into the neighbor's yard. When he gets into the neighbor's yard, she opens her gate and lets him wonder the neighborhood (instead of telling us--I know, a great neighbor we have!) We originally tried to fill his holes with dirt, but apparently that is just more fun to dig up since the dirt is kind of loose. So...our only option has been to line our fence with cinder blocks. We are out of blocks at this point, but we are really hoping Jonah has gotten his fill of digging for now. Kris has caught him doing it a couple of times and spanked him really hard, and (cross your fingers) he seems to have stopped. I can't wait for it to get hot because when it hot outside the dogs don't move and therefore can't get into trouble.
Here is a picture of our lovely gate. About a year ago Jonah decided he was a beaver and in just one day's time, chewed through the bottom of the gate. We replaced the boards and he did it all over again the next day! So, we then put up the metal gate inside the wooden gate. That worked for awhile, but then he figured out how he could knock the metal gate down (by running into it over and over again with all his might.) So, we then had to go to the cinder blocks. They are like duct tape for us--they fix everything!
Kris actually was able to fix the fence the week. He replaced the boards and left the metal gate inside, but moved the cinder blocks. We are hoping that Jonah will leave it alone at least for awhile. We have such a naughty dog!!
