Crowing
I have a temporary netted canopy over my run (that was being made into a permanent structure this weekend) and somehow one of the posts shifted and the netting got pulled down, leaving a foot and a half wide gap at the top of the fence. My golden laced Polish Elvira got out and my dogs got her. Pretty sure it was my Yorkshire terrier specifically, because he couldn't even face me when I was lecturing them about it. He literally turned his whole body away from me and hung his head and faced the wall of the house. The other dogs were just giving me neutral "I know you're mad and I'm sorry but I was not there" looks.
In any case I am finalizing the enclosure tomorrow and there will be no more escapees.
The saddest part to me is that she was so excited because I had just trimmed her feathers out of her face for the first time, which massively improved her vision. Not enough to escape a small quick dog in the dark though.
RIP Elvira. Shine on you crazy diamond. I loved you even though you were ridiculously hard to catch and hated to be held and wanted nothing to do with me.
