Teddy has decided that the underground fencing isn't enough of a deterent to keep him from playing with the neighbours sheep.
Yesterday, he went to their house and was galloping around in the sheep pen - didn't hurt any of them except for running them around. Unfortunately, they are all pregnant and that is how our neighbours make their living. If any of the sheep abort their lambs over the next few days, we are responsible.
She came and got Trevor yesterday (after she tried to catch him and Teddy thought it was a big game), and thank goodness he was home! But.....she said that if their is a next time, she may not be able to do that (I totally get her point, if she cant catch him and he's running her sheep, she would have to do something to prtect her livelihood).
So, Teddy is back to being on the leash to go potty. No going outside to play, nothing. Tonight we are going to shave his neck and re-check his shock fencing collar. Maybe new batteries will fix the running away? Sure hoping so!!
I'm feeling kinda crappy about it today. Sure hope her sheep are OK.
