Lucky B didn't run off...

Last night before I got home, DH had B outside with him on his tie out. DH was in the garage and could see most of the yard from where he was. The bunnies have learned how far B can reach on his tie out and will hang out right out side that area and it drives him crazy.

Well apparently yesterday it all became too much because B took off running to chase a bunny and broke the D-ring on his collar. He chased the bunny back into the woods, with DH chasing him and calling him. Then I think it hit him that he wasn't attached to anything anymore and B turned around and came back to DH.

I think we really have to start planning a fence, because I couldn't live with myself if B had run off.

Our yard has a weird set up, and fencing it in will be difficult and expensive. Plus we just spent a big chunk of change to run electric and water to our detached garage and added a generator hook-up... So the "home improvements" budget is pretty much eaten up for the year.

Thank god one of us is always with him when he's outside...

that's always scary.
Glad he came home.

FWIW, Dawg has broken *mumble mumble obscenely high number* of 'rings' on her collars because of this sort of thing...we got a collar w/ a large ring she hasn't been able to pop in like 5 years: www.boomerangtags.com/store/?A=S&ID=30

Thanks for the link! I will definitely check those out! If Dawg hasn't broken this one, I hope 20 lbs of Scottie couldn't!
