Travis is gonna die!

Travis is gonna die!
Cause I'm gonna kill him
So I put in a new pond. Fenced it all over again, put fencing inside the deck railing, cause he can still get through. Then he found out if he jumped into a big wood flower box he could get over the deck. So I put chicken wire around it. Well he discovered the wire bends really easy, so he just jumped onto it and smashed it!
Ok so I stuck some lawn chairs folded up around it.
Now I have no idea how he is still getting into it, but the signs are all around the pond that he is.
First sign, plants are knocked over in pond
Second sign, things are gettin knocked off the pond edging
Third sign, flowers are getting trampled
And the last sign and the most telling sign is when Travis comes into the house he is wet!
So do ya all think it might be Travis who is getting into the pond area????
So now I have to figure out how to keep his butt from getting in there, but first I have to figure out HOW is getting in there LOL!

I don't know what to tell you Annie. Alex and I spent 7 hours one Sunday last year repairing, replacing, and adding fencing to the ravine so we'd have a place to put Hugo where he could run but I wouldn't have to constantly watch him. We got done, put him in the ravine, went up on the patio and were high-fiving each other over a job well done......when Hugo came bounding over to join in the fun!
If the boys want to get out.....they'll get out!

As speaking as Travis' lawyer you have no proof that it was my client.
Do U have any evidence other than him being wet?
My client has a problem with his sweat glands and always perspires a lot when outside in the summer......
Do u have pictures of him doing this damage?
I think not!
My client is INNOCENT until proven guilty!
:lol:

Thanks for all the sympathy LOL.
I don't know about electric fences. We had the fence years ago and i've seen many a cat and dog crawl under it. They knew enough that if they didn't back up where it went under their hair they wouldn't feel it LOL.
Thats why I keep the chairs folded up when we aren't using them, because i'm afraid Travis will but up on the railing.
Tundra_Queen,
well he does have a record of being in the pond
Exhibit 1....... Please refer to this post.
viewtopic.php?t=37091&highlight=travis
And a record of digging.
Exhibit 2.....And this post.
viewtopic.php?t=35978&highlight=travis
Proof he likes mud.
Exhibit 3......And please see this post.
viewtopic.php?t=37728&highlight=travis
So i'm afraid that a jury would convict Travis.

Oh my goodness, Amber. That Tasha is such a beautiful furkid!! And looks just as innocent as can be.
And as for Travis.....well...he may not look innocent...on the contrary...he's as ornery looking as he can be, but still as cute as he can be.
I sure don't have any advice for you. I agree.....when the boys want out, they find a way. I use to have a dog that managed to scale a fence, so we ended up having to put a 6 ft high fence up to keep him in. They are smart and inventive when the situation calls for it.

Hmmmmmm... I might enjoy being a member of the trial jury on this one! Could be great time!
All I can say, is one day he's gonna slow down. Might be 20+ years, but he will slow down
