I jus couldn't wait to get on the road again, so I dug under the front fence yesterday - woohoo! First time Mom caught me. Second time neighbor Chris caught me. Mom filled in my hole and then wedged a big ol' plastic flower pot full of more heavy dirt right in that special soft spot. Phooey. The back yard jus isn't big enuf for me. Lexie even found me this really cool beans song by a guy named Cold Porter (must be from Wisconsin). I keep listenin' to it and barkin' it over and over . . .

Gimme land, lots of land, and the starry skies above
- Don't fence me in!
Let me run through the wide open neighborhood that I love
- Don't fence me in!
Let me sniff by myself in the evenin' breeze
Listen to and pee on all the cottonwood trees
You can call me late for dinner, but I ask you please -
- Don't fence me in!

Just turn me loose
Let me paddle every puddle underneath Wisconsin skies
There's no excuse
Not to wander over yonder till I see Cowlumbus rise
I want to run to the ridge where Ohio commences
Gaze off for my Gretta 'til I loose my senses
I can't resist the urge to dig and crawl under fences
- Don't fence me in!

I thought it was nice of Mr. Porter to include those lines about my sweetest ever girlpup Gretta in Cowlumbus, Ohio. She is my wanderlust. Sigh.

We huskies like to run free too, but the humans are trying to keep us safe, but it would be fun to roam free. However, if I couldn't get back home, I would miss my humans and Burger King.
