Our Escape Artist

Gamba has escaped from our fenced in back yard more times than we can count. Everytime he is just in the woods next to our house sniffing around. But, this last time he was gone for over 3 hours!

We had previously done some things that we thought would alleviate the problem but Gamba thought it was just a fun game. He was successful at getting out no matter what we did. Andy refused to be defeated by a dog so he decided he was going to win this battle once and for all. He buried trenches:

Filled them with gravel and concrete:

(Notice how Gamba is plotting even in the midst of it all).

Hired some cute kids to do some labor:

And then covered it all up with dirt again:

So far so good. Gamba has made some pretty pathetic attempts at escaping but it looks like Daddy has won! And Gamba is not happy:
