Frog sitter; Escape artist

Karolin called this morning and said that Zoe was willing to frog-sit while Kyra's with her dad this weekend. She said that they were going to go to PetsMart this afternoon and would purchase some crickets for Oliver. Yippee! Karolin thought the whole thing was hilarious and said that this will be the thing that the girls will remember when they're older...

Well, Tasha did it again! I let the dogs out into the back yard this morning and after a little while I heard the whiny barking again. I went out on the deck to see what was happening and only saw Riley in the yard. Kyra came out and she said she saw Tasha running up the club drive, so I ran out and opened the garage door, barefoot, as Tasha came running into the driveway. Thankfully she happily came into the garage and let me drag her back into the house. I then went outside to figure out where she's escaping from. I found a hole dug under the back fence. I didn't have time to fix it, so I took a chance and left the dogs in the house while we left to go to school/work. I returned home at lunch time and took the dogs for a potty break and run in hopes of tiring them out so they wouldn't be destructive in the house. When I came back home after work, I went out into the yard and put a board and heavy downed limbs in front of the hole, hoping that would stop her. But no such luck. Within a few minutes of letting them out into the yard, Tasha had escaped again. She went to watch tennis. Thankfully, as I was walking outside to go find her, Alan and Alec were leading her towards our driveway. What am I going to do???
