After reading of coyotes getting dogs and OT's dog gone for 10 i was worried last Thursday afternoon my dog was out of his kennel and unsupervised for about half an hour. He went missing. The other dog had gone to the barn where my daughter had been working colts and i was bringing a tractor home from repair. Jack was no where to be found the yard was searched and the neighbors phoned but the closest is 4 miles away.
He didn't show up at home the next morning but did at the brother in laws 4 miles south in Montana.
Jack is afraid of thunder and gun shots and it was thundering that day so i think he was just trying to get away from the noise.
We are sure glad to have him back. Very Happy

Did the in-laws offer him political asylum in the States? Wink

My old male is deathly afraid of thunder...It can be thundering in Malta 70 miles away- and he hears it- and is under my feet or in the pickup or tearing the door down to get into the house....
Almost as good a weather predictor as my artheritis...

Except the old arther wasn't hurting today- just sweat running off my behind-- got to 94 here today- but good hay curing weather....

They might have him on camera seeking asylum...A while back those boys were showing me some of their hidden camera setups they have on some of the crossings- especially the ones that are heavy traveled by deer and coyotes and stuff- so that when something sets their sensor off they can see what it is without having to send someone out to track coyotes Rolling Eyes
I heard they've been really flying that big flying saucer radar plane in this area again lately...Did have one sitting down here at the base off and on-could see it from the road- but the security guys weren't talking on what it was doing.........

My dog is getting more scared of thunder as he gets older,he sleeps in the porch at night,the porch window got busted out by the lawnmower and a rock so he jumped out of it during the night,then it started to thunder and i dont know why he didnt jump back in it,he proceded to tear the screen off the living room window,which i had just opened for the first time earlier,how he knew that i dont know,but anyhow at 4am it thundered and rained ,he got in threw the window into the house,so i was awakened at 4 am by a wet scared dog jumping into bed with me,i didnt know what the hell was going on,lol

No.2 Homeland Security official visits border
By The Associated Press

SCOBEY - The breadth of terrain crossing Montana's northern tier came as a surprise to Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Paul Schneider.

Accompanied by Secret Service agents, Schneider joined U.S. Sen. Jon Tester at the Port of Scobey Monday during a tour of the northern border between Montana and Saskatchewan.

Schneider arrived shortly after noon by helicopter at the U.S. Border Patrol station in Scobey, about 14 miles south of the Scobey Port of Entry.

Homeland Security's No. 2 man, Schneider said he had not been familiar with the remote region of the border before a 90-minute flight and a tour of the Scobey facility. Schneider's arrival in Montana kicked off a series of border tours and community hearings that began Monday at the Sheridan County Courthouse in Plentywood. It will end Wednesday with a Senate field hearing in Havre.
