The summerhouse was finally totally finished on Saturday, and just as I thought I might have a break from worrying about outdoor DIY jobs, Mishka has learnt to jump up onto our garage roof (from the side passage of the house it's only a four foot jump - like everything in Wycombe, we're on a hill). From there he can bypass the garden gate and escape. In fact he did clear the gate yesterday after Olga put him in the back garden while the health visitor was here. When Olga popped out to check on him, she could just see the top of his head on the far side of the gate - he was just sitting quietly on the front door step, watching the world go by! He came straight in when she opened the front door and called him - it was a close shave though. He does have a collar of course, and he's chipped too, but that won't matter if he goes running into the street and gets mown down by a car. We were lucky that no-one came by walking their dog, because he certainly wouldn't sit quietly on the step if he saw another dog.
So, this weekend I need to investigate getting 2 new large garden gates and some screening to keep him off the garage, so we can leave him outside without worrying where he is!
