Monday Mischief - Chickens?

No we didn't get any chickens.  Although that might not be a bad idea.  Naw, I've got enough on my plate dealing with Fred!  It's been upsetting for Fred not being able to run around in the backyard and play, especially after are walks.  When we get home from our walks, I usually let Freddie and Gloria off their leashes in the backyard and they run and play for about 10-15 mininutes before we go inside.  This helps get Freddies excess energy out.  Since our fence blew down we have been listening to constant sighing and whining from Fred.  He just comes and puts his head on me and sighs.

"But why Momma?" "Why can't I go out and play?"

Long loud sighs, over and over.  This really motivated hubby to get out there in -10 C and rig something up to block off the opening where the fence fell over.  It also got him away from Fred and his constant whining!

Now it is done!  It might not be pretty, but it works for now.

It's chicken wire we had behind the shed. Hence, the reference to chickens! Thankfully the ground wasn't completely frozen because of the up and down temperatures we've been getting.

So I finally let Freddie out without his leash.  First he went over and checked out the makeshift fence.
Then...........

 Gloria was back to running for her life!

They ran and played for about 15 minutes until Gloria had enough and her feet got cold.  Of course Fred acted like it was the first time in his life he'd ever run free.  After Gloria went in, Freddie did his last couple of circuits around the yard.

I think I could almost here the music from the movie Born Free playing in the distance.  Always the drama Queen King.  Then he went in the house........

.....and crashed for the night!  YES!  We got to sit and watch our Saturday night at the movies on TCM in peace and quiet.  It was great!
