My Boyfriend's Back - Peggy's Blog

Lately, our dog Peggy has been running out the front door every chance she gets (several times a day!) and will be gone for hours. Now we may joke about how we want animal control to pick her up and we wouldn't miss her at all - but she does hold a place in our lives and I have to admit that I am rather fond of her. Of course all this escaping is very irritating and we leave her outside (don't even try to go after her), and she eventually comes back home barking at the front door.
So we wondered why Peggy was suddenly escaping so much more - and now we know. The other morning I looked outside to see ANOTHER rat terrier in our backyard! A BOY dog! And then it all made sense why Peggy was so anxious to go out - Peggy's got a boyfriend!

Peggy & Boyfriend

They followed each other around our backyard for several hours until it got too hot - then the other dog squeezed out our back gate and went home. He's come by several times since then as well. Who would have guessed that our anti-social Peggy could have a boyfriend?!
