Re: Re(2): [pyrnet] ANOTHER Pyr jumping fence

lisa,
bless your heart.....i know that's troubling.  but you're a great person for
hanging in there with him.  most would have taken him to the pound by now.
sounds like you have a lot of love and he's fortunate for that.  i know it's
hard, but just try to hang in there.  maybe this fence will do the trick.
w/the clomicalm - some dogs it does great for and others it doesn't.  it's
trial and error.

since he gets along w/the poodle (great dogs!) it may be a good idea to keep
them in there together, at least for a little while.  that may be a bonus to
him. yes, you definately don't need another one right now.  i wish you all
the best w/it.  perhaps it will seem like a little home of his own since it
will be smaller and he'll like it.  often when confined like a regular
indoor kennel they like it.

keep us posted on how it goes.  i'll say a big prayer for you!
