Fun with little dogs

So, last Saturday, our little boy busted through our screen protectors and made his way under the house. He proceeded to stay there for nearly 6 hours! I tried everything to get him out including the sprinkler, treats and his favorite squeaky toy... but no luck! I finally gave up and waited for him to get hungry. As expected, he came out around 6:30 just happy as a clam and greeted me in the garage. He was covered in a thick, sludgy, muddy substance which I immediately washed off in the tub! I can only assume that he was digging and chasing mice or other animals under there. The original Boston Terriers were a cross breed between the English Bulldog and now extinct English White Terrier (which I can only assume were mice hunters like their cousins the rat terrier) Anyway, he was completely tuckered out and had a nice nap after the bath. I have since blocked up that section of the yard until I can find a more permanent solution.

Side note: This is something we never had to think about with Otis. We are always thinking "upward". What can the dog reach, or jump over. Now we have to start thinking in "downward" terms as well! You live you learn! Sorry no pics this time!

Our little champion!
