Lightning's Big Night Out!

Soooo...Lightning has his first big night out.. usually he's still locked in the cage while the bigger dogs get free roam of the house compound at night.  Poor Lightning would howl his lungs off the whole night when that happened.. one morning I came rushing down, thinking he was being mauled by the other dogs.. turns out he's just trying to escape from the cage and howling.

So last night, Ron and Elvina decided to patch the hole in the gate where Lightning could escape to the main road through.. (imagine my shock to see two rakes stuck to the gate when I was leaving the house this morning!..like seriously.. what the...)

Anyway, I'm not quite sure what Lightning got up to, but the dogs were fairly quiet last night, albeit one long howl from Lupo before I fell asleep.  But this morning, my dad managed to get them all in the cage except for Lightning, who refuses to go in and went into hiding underneath the long gym bench.  No matter how much my dad tried to coax him out, he refuses to come out.. even took me calling a few times before he emerged from his little cave.. he ran with such gusto and excitement to see me first thing in the morning.. I feel so loved.

I however, did think that the dogs had a good time last night.. this is how I found them when I came home from lunch.

ZzzzzZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

They didn't even hear me coming!  Didn't even hear the snap of the camera.. only when I clicked my tongue did Maximus jump awake and came running..

 Poor little Lightning, guess he was too tired he needed the fence to hold his head up!

So adorable... :)
