Wrigley Escaped!



Wrigley is a wily little dog. I like to think of him like "The Brain" in Pinky and the Brain. He is tiny and has a pitiful bark and I think this all contributes to his "little man" syndrome. I am fairly convinced that a couple years ago he escaped out of his kennel, opened our greyhounds kennel, let our greyhound to have a small doggie party, locked the greyhound out of his kennel, and then let himself back into his own kennel and re-latched the gate door. Yes, we came home, Wrigley was in his locked kennel and Rocco was out of his kennel while his kennel gate was still LOCKED! I think this was a well orchestrated jail break, with Wrigley as the mastermind.
Which leads me to his most current escape plan...
Wrigley tunneled out under the gate last night sometime between the hours of 7pm-10pm. He was gone when we returned home from dinner last night. We made signs, checked Craigslist for found dogs, posted our own Craigslist lost ad and took flashlights to search the neighborhood. Nothing. No Wrigley. While posting signs I found a "FOUND DOG" ad on a lamp post near our house. We texted them, but it was late. No Wrigley for the night.
The number called us back this morning and we described the dog to him and he said that he has found Wrigley!!! I asked for his address to pick him up....1616 Mockingbird.....our next door neighbor....nice.
Wrigley was found 15 feet from his home. Stupid dog. Not so smart after all, huh??


Sad Jeff and our LOST DOG signs.


Ella sitting in Wrigley's dog bed this morning, wondering who she will torture today!


The escape route. Notice the large stone on the right that was blocking a previous attempt.


Wrigley. Dirty from his escape.


The newly blocked escape. I will make it prettier later...maybe.

Thank you, Neighbor Chris!! We are buying him a case of beer and a Hannah's gift card as a thank you present. I guess if we had made more of an effort to get to know our neighbors better they would have known what our dogs look like. Neighbor BBQ soon, guys??
