Re: [PyrNet-L] Doggie on the couch

["Tony Leopold" <tleopold2@plantnet.com>]

We just bought a brand new couch and chair (khaki colored) so no doggie on
the furniture for us.

Mainly I think Kane sees the cat (the "watermelon" cat, remember anyone?
:-) ) on the couch and jumps up to "get her"....then realized that it is
pretty comfy up there and stays.

I'll try the mouse traps......worth a shot.

In other news, our yard is being fenced in now and should be completed in
the next 7 or 8 days. Kane won't know what to do with himself!!!....in the 6
weeks I've had him I've never let him off his lead outside.

Hey...has anyone had problems with their Pyre jumping 4 foot chain link? I'm
sure a full grown Pyre *could* do it, but do they? Often?
