Jack has a new collar!

by Cora

As you all know, Jack hasn't been the greatest son to Mom and Dad since Mom has been home on bed rest. He's been to neighbors numerous times to crash their dog parties, and Mom had to go get him a couple of miles away. Well I think Mom and Dad took some action.

Dad has been working hard outside the past few nights. Last night we sat and watched him with this machine that dug a trench. Tonight we watched him put this yellow wire in the trench. Then...... when Mom brought us outside they put this new collar on Jack. I was kind of upset at first, because I didn't get one, but now after all is said and done, I'm GLAD I don't have one like that. Anyway, Dad took us to the back by the big ditch and Jack's collar started to beep! Then all of a sudden, Jack jumped about 5 feet into the air and back toward the house. We walked the rest of the yard, but nothing was happening and Mom and Dad looked confused. They took the collar off and Dad messed with it, then they put it back on and put him on the leash.

We walked to the front, where Jack would have crossed the road, and the beeping came back. mom backed him up, and then praised him. Then they went to the next spot, and Mom took him past the beeping. Jack cried and cried. She backed him up and made him sit then praised him for backing up. They did that a few more times around the yard, then we got to go inside and Jack wasn't happy. He layed by Mom's chair and wouldn't move. I asked what had happened, and he just didn't want to talk about it. But Mom gave us both a greenie and I couldn't be more happy. Maybe he will tell me tomorrow what had happened.

Oh, by the way, thank you for the prayers and I feel a lot better. Don't know what had happened, but I'm doing great.
