Koda--Master Escape Artist

He looks innocent enough, right?  We seem to think we're pretty good dog owners too, but apparently not.

Here's a run-down of his successful attempts to leave our loving home this week:

9/18:  The Escape:  Ran through side gate that "no-one" left open.  Found by:  A teenage boy named Mitch during the homecoming parade who actually scored quite a few girls holding the run-away.  

9/19:  The Escape:   Ran again through side gate at 6:30 a.m.. Didn't learn our lesson the first time.  Found by: BWD as he almost ran over him leaving for work.  Phew!

9/20:  The Escape:  Garage door left open in the morning.

Found by:   Brian our neighbor who swiftly stuck him in his own backyard.  Good move.

9/20:  The Escape:  Ran through the gate as a neighbor was entering.  Found by:  Neighbor kids long-boarding down our street.  They were probably worried he'd pee on their boards so they grabbed him.

9/22:  The Escape:  Side Gate.  Lesson still not learned by the Fowlers.  I really don't think unconsciously we are trying to get rid of this dog!  Seriously.    Found by:  BWD, who jumped out of bed and ran him down at 6:45 a.m.

9/22:  The Escape:  Back gate--wind blew it open while I was working out.  Found by:  A lady named Janelle who saw him peeing on things in the park behind our house.  

I'm buying two locks today and doing some research on how to prevent your dog from running the minute he sees an opportunity.  

9/22:  The Escape:  At this point it's embarrassing to even note that this is the 3rd time TODAY.  We have no idea how he got out this time.  We didn't even know he was gone to tell the truth.     Found by:  Cody, on his way home from our house.  Now it's time to consider the invisible fence that zaps the bejeebers out of him each time he crosses the line.  The gloves are on Koda.
