Roxy has performed her vanishing trick twice now.

First, she found the only fence post in our yard that was loose. Thankfully, she's friendly. She ran up to a neighbor who immediately called the number on her tag.

I've said it before, but Roxy looks much bigger than she really is. She can shrink down and shimmy into (and out of) places she shouldn't be able to.

A month later, it happened again at my parent's house. Nana and Pop have a wire mesh around their fence to keep Indy in and the foxes out. There was one staple missing from the bottom of the post by the gate. That was all it took for Roxy to go freewheeling again.

Once again, she ran up to say "Hi" to someone. They called the numbers on the collar, but it was Roxy's last name that led them back to Nana's.

The scary thing for me was Roxy's tags had fallen off. She'd bent the metal ring that held them. She ran around our backyard for a few days without and I had just found a semi-suitable replacement ring and reattached them that morning.

Kids and pets, they keep you on your toes!
