Oh, Tink, so glad you found them and got them home safely. Our dog run is square metal tubes welded closely together with a concrete curb at the bottom. I've dealt with enough dogs digging out and running in my lifetime, so had hubby build one they couldn't get out of. You may have to do something like that. Or, someone I know has a fence with wire mesh that extends underground and is bent so it is under the edge of the run. When they dig, they are standing on top of wire mesh, so can't dig out. That would be very effective and less expensive than our fence. The mesh would eventually rust, but would last quite a while.

Hope they don't get away again!!!

Marilyn, she doesn't dig under the fence, she goes right THROUGH it!

I watched her last night testing the new run. She sticks her nose in the opening of the netting and presses as hard as she can trying to force it out to the side and keeps at it till she has a hole large enough to squeeze herself through. All she's going to get with the new fence is a really sore nose.

Montana was a digger... we've not had another since her and I really hope not to. lol

I can't even imagine how frantic you must have been - I'm so happy that everyone is home and safe.
