Hello everyone! My wife and I have been trolling these forums for awhile now so I finally decided to sign up. We have 2 DT's that we adopted many years ago and have been in our family for a long time. (Pics below) Glad to be here as I need to make another post in Lost and Found shortly :(

Oh no! Does that mean one (or both) of them has gone missing?

Just 1 is missing, but we have a lead on his whereabouts, I'm going to make a new thread on that subject

Our backyard is about 1/2 an arce, fully fenced with chainlink. Raph just happened to find a part of the fencing that wasn't in the ground very far lol sneaky little devil. We found were he had dug alittle, and then pushed the chainlink to get out.

Now since then I have been buying railroad ties and cinder block to line the entire fence length to prevent this from happening again. I even lined the double gate lol which is a pain when I need to get my trailer out or if we take the boat out for the weekend, but it is the price we pay for our loved one
