The Fence

I really am a believer that everything happens for a reason.  Tuesday it poured rain all day so I took Freddie out on his leash all day to go potty so he wouldn't come in covered in mud.  By supper time the rain stopped and the wind picked up to about 90 km per hour.  I took Fred out for a pee and this is what I found.

Part of our fence had blown over.  I instantly had a flashback as this is what happened when our late Basset Barney broke his leg.  You can read about it here. And see him in his cast here.  So thankfully I had been taking Freddie out on a leash instead of just letting him out the door.  Either of the hounds could have gotten hurt or caught a scent and took off.  Really this would only be Fred, he'd be gone in a second.  Gloria....no......she just doesn't go to far from me.

This is what it looked like Wednesday morning as it snowed overnight too. Yes, those are condos they built behind us in what used to be a park!  Hubby was in North Bay for work when this happened so it has had to sit like this until tonight.  Then he will have to go and knock it down and take it apart.
Well, until we get something rigged up for the rest of this winter (if that's what you can call this crazy weather) Freddie has to be tied up to go outside. No more running around enjoying play time in the backyard.  And oh boy, is Freddie ticked!
 

"This sucks!" "I hate my life!!"
"Oh Fred, stop it."  "It will only be for a short time."

"I don't care!!"  "I'm never going outside again!"

"For gosh sakes Freddie, shut up I'm trying to sleep!"

Yesterday my computer also decided to go all wonky!  Finally I just walked away until this morning.  I had to go in and restore it to a previous date and this seems to have fixed things.  Yippee!
