After many delays, excuses & no shows the fencer has finally finished Samson's fence!!!!...His 1st time out was last night right before we had dinner...We made a big production out of it too...lol...We called the neighbors that we are friendly with & who love Samson to come out into their back yard, got our whole family together, called Sammy, announced "RELEASE THE HOUND", to which my 7 year old answered, "THE HOUND SHALL BE RELEASED"...lol...My hubby then very dramatically flung open the patio door...lmao!...Poor Sammy just sat there waiting for us to snap his leash on him...lol...We stepped out 7 called him & after some hesitation he came out & started sniffing around & the neighbors & my family all clapped & cheered his name...lol...H e stuck pretty close to me last night but by today has figured it out...All of the sudden the command "come" means nothing to him...Go figure...lol.. .I can see we are going to have to work on obidience all over again...Thankf ully his adult class should be starting soon...Anyway, he is loving the freedom & I am still nervous he will figure out how to go over the fence...Today he found a spot that the fencer leveled with fresh dirt & started digging...He was corrected & redirected back to the area he is allowed to dig in...He did good with that...Anyway, this is HEAVEN for Sammy Whammy & for us!...I just wanted to share with the people who will understand!
