Dixie got loose again

DIXIE BEFORE WE ADOPTED HER
I don't write about Dixie much because we don't get out much. I keep writing about her getting loose, and she did it again today.

 I hooked her to a 45-foot line and let her out in the yard. But when I came back outside, her empty harness was hooked to the line.

 I got in my car and drove around the neighborhood until I found Dixie in someone's yard. She wouldn't come to me (she thought it was a game), but another neighbor showed up to help. She's having trouble getting around after a hip replacement, so she couldn't catch Dixie, either. Fortunately, the woman of the house came out with her dog, grabbed Dixie and brought her to my car.

 So I took her home. I told her that she's a pain in the butt, but I was relieved to get her back.

Getting out of the yard

DIXIE GETS OUT OF THE YARD...

The other day, my wife Holly told me that Dixie had gotten out of the backyard. She went outside to bring Dixie in the house, and our beagle was sitting on the welcome mat, waiting for Holly to get her.

 Holly immediately guessed that Dixie got through the fence somewhere, but that wasn't it. When we were coming back from a shopping trip, I noticed that the back gate was wide open. The gate was closed after the backyard was mowed, but it's obvious the gate popped open later.

 Now, we have to be more vigilant after the yard is mowed.

 At least Dixie had the good sense to wait near the door.
