Scheming on Saturday

The Momster thinks she can outwit us.

Notice anything different in this photo above?

Somebody found a way to keep her hostas and shrubs safe from sibes. Maybe if Ciara keeps her eyes closed, that new fencing will magically disappear.

Mom, is this a test to see if I really am an obedient pup or a true sibe who knows no rules? You do realize how easy it would be for me to clear this measly barricade, don't you?

Now who would have suspected that the first party to enter the restricted zone would be Phantom!!!

Hey, she left an opening here for me so I wouldn't have to exert myself and jump over it.

For now we are being distracted from the no-sibe zone by all the other interesting things in our environment. Maybe we will just let her think we are behaving, you know, sort of lull into her thinking she has won. Then when she least expects it, we will invade that zone.

Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara - and yes, we can hear the Herd's hu-Dad chuckling all the way from here:)

Note from Mom: I found this fencing at Lowe's and it is attractive, not terribly expensive, and just might give the plants a chance to grow. Am I dreaming? Maybe, but it is worth a try. So far none of them has tried to get in the section that is completely enclosed. The only reason Phantom has an exit on that side is because I bought all the fence sections available at the two closest Lowe's and need to make a longer trip to get some more. As you may have noticed, I still haven't taken off the price labels - just in case I don't win this one:)
