New Story/dogs

Hi y'all,

I have a story out in the January True Confessions--Bride Wanted: ASP. If you get a chance, pick up a magazine or order it online.

An update on my dogs:Maggie is a rescue dog. She must've been beat a lot because even when we raise our voices, she slinks away like we're going to hit her.

Zeus could care less, unless you sneeze. Then he runs and hides. Icarus, Mr. Suck-up, loves to push the other dogs out of the way so he gets the attention and not them.

Did I mention that Icarus got out of our fenced-in back yard? We're pretty sure he jumped over the fence. He's 15 pounds and jumps like a cat. He got all excited when he saw the neighbor's dog out and the gates were closed and there were no holes for him to get out of. He jumps really high and also jumps down off the deck--6 feet off the ground.

Speaking of dogs, my oldest son called yesterday to ask if we could go to his place and find the two small dogs. It seems they, too, are escape artists. The dug out from under the fence when they went out in the morning and son couldn't find them. We were at the oncologist office where my hubby gets his iron infusions.

We went to his house in the wilderness and found his dogs locked in the neighbor's back porch. Seems Mr. Moore found them, put them in the fence three times and each time they got out. So he kept them on the back porch where we heard them bark when we called their names. Max is the son of Icarus, so we have no doubt he'll learn to jump fences next. Meanwhile, his mom has taught him to dig undernearth fences!
