Today I took the Tobsters to the dog park so he could get some running done. He ran no stop for 30 min. At the end of that 30 min. Toby ran over to the agility equipment that is in the park and took the mini A-frame. I was mortified! As I watch from across the park my dog was flying thru the air. I was screaming touch! Did he? No! I watch him leap off the top of the thing hit the ground and slid a couple of feet. He look as if he had buried his nose in a pile of sand. Needless to say he got up as nothing happened. I on the other hand marched over to him put his leash on took him back over the A-frame and we left. I don't like that park having agility equipment where the dogs can get to it. I think it is too dangerous for them. Toby has seen this equipment here and has not attempted it until today. I am going to have to be more careful from now on when we go to that park.
However, tomorrow the fence guys will be here to put up a fence around the back yard. We are only doing a 4 ft. chain link. We just can't spend the extra 1100.00 dollars for a 6 ft privacy. May be in the future once I find a job. What I am happy about is that I will be able to work with Toby and agility in a safe environment. I just don't trust him. I am afraid he might go zooming out to the street. The street we live on is not busy at all. But just my luck Toby will run into the street and get hit by a car. I just don't like to take those kinds of chances.

oh gosh, that is dangerous. I remember when Kodiak fell off the dog walk and it scared me too!
Yeah for a fence - my parents have the type of fence that you are getting and they love it much better than the 6 ft. :)
Toby will love having a yard again...
