Say goodbye to the old “suggestion” of a fence – very decorative, but with lots of low points and places where a big dog can push it over by lifting a paw. Not to mention jump it without a second thought. The new fence build is supposed to start today!!!!
No more critter patrol outside the boundary of our backyard.

Otis, an 8 year old 106 lb. lab/Dane mix, became a Tripawd on February 9, 2016 after his right front leg broke due to osteosarcoma. We did 4 rounds of carboplatin, but lung mets were discovered on Agust 25, and he passed on September 4. Otis was half of a bonded pair, and his adopted sister Tess, passed suddenly of hemangiosarcoma on October 9. The day before Tess passed, a local lab rescue group had identfied Gator, a 120 pound 6 year old yellow in need of a home, as a potential companion for her. His picture was on my phone, and my house needed a dog. . .

“SUGGESTION”‘of a fence.LOL……definitely just a suggestion with that big boy!!! That’s like stepping over a toothpick for him!
He is NOT going to like a REAL fence!! Hope it’s 6′ tall!
I jad a dog Barney, a little smaller than Gator, who actually scaled my 6’ farm fence a few times! I looked EVERYWHER for holes u der, or weakness somewhere in the wire. Could not find ANY escape routes! And then one day I actually saw him climb up that fence!! Could not believe it!!! Ended up putting a …hmmm…guess you coukd call it an overhang at top of fence. Hipe you don’t have to go to that extreme with Gator!
And good luck!!!
Hugs!

LOL @suggestion of a fence!!!
Watch out … my 6′ fence was a “suggestion” to Mosby. 🙂 But at least a pretty strong suggestion, requiring significant temptation.
New fence = piece of mind for you. Gators gonna know you did it just for him ❤️
