Unless, one of the dogs is part gazelle. I now have this giant (albeit temporary) eye-sore in my yard as Miss Lola has discovered she can clear the wall from a dead stand. I was popped my head out side to check on the dogs and discovered Lola running around in the yard above my house. Apparently there was a squirrel party going on in the big trees & about 8 of them were having a grand old time tormenting the Dogs.
I, of course, have a complete panic attack because she has never been in a unfenced area. Thank DoG I have trained a really good recall in her & when I said "Lola, Come!!"...she scurried down the wall like Spiderman.
Stoopid me thought it would only be a one time thing & she wouldn't possibly remember how to get back up there. But sure enough, when I let her out later in the afternoon, she bolted right up the wall. She came right back without a moments hesitation when I called her. I then got smart & came up with a temporary solution until we can figure out what to do.
This is how she was the rest of the day:
Not as much fun...but I prefer her in OUR yard.
"I don't see a problem...I was trying to catch dinner."
"Zzzzzzzzzz....dreaming of catching that fat squirrel!!"

Sure those squirrels were bothering you, right?

Have a good night

WHOA! That's an impressive jump. We had a similar incident when we figure out I could head-butt my way out of the gate in the back of the yard. Also my sissy can easily clear my gate. These are times when obedience class comes in handy, eh?
Glad everyone is safe. Except for those squirrels. Those taunting, bastard squirrels.
wally.
I've heard of other boxers doing that. Thank goodness Peanut hasn't done it outside yet though I know he could as he jumped over our entertainment center in our house. Glad Lola has a good recall.

Woh... Lola sure can jump very high. Good thing she came over when you call her back.

You thought a little 6-foot wall would hold her? Nonsense.

It's cool being able jump up high Lola.
It's useful for chasing cats as well.
What's this recall thing?
Don't let mistress know please.
Pippa

It's not really your fault Lola. Squirrels are just too hard to resist. They tease us everyday at our house too!!! We've got to let those squirrels know who is boss.
Love, Seadra and Zoe
It puts to jump over the high wall, and there is wonderful. Squirrel'
s dream is executed.
from loved ume tyan
There is nothing wrong with trying to catch your own dinner!! I think you should deserve extra treats for your effort!!!
Humans can be so unfair sometimes...

My boxer friend Dexter is a gazelle too! They say Airedale's can clear a 6' fence, but I don't think I could, not even for a squirrel party!

Wow Lola, your jumping ability is very impressive! We would like to chase squirrels too, but not if it involves jumping over a six foot fence.
~Pug Hugs~
We boxers can jump really really high!
Hahaha! She looks quite miffed at being kept from her squirrel party.
Lola is so cute dreaming!
oooooh perhaps Lola was trying to reach me in Scotland! I am pretty high up on the map it seems, so that explains her high jump!
love the pics!
love and licks, Marv xxxxxx (who has been known to jump pretty high too!"
Squirrels? Did anyone mention squirrels? Did you get them?
Great bid for freedom there. I perfer my dinner on a plate.

Hey Lola... I bet your mom and pops has never had squirrel before (hmm not sure you have either..)and you were just trying to give something back right? I am sooo impressed that you can jump so high! Nice!
Loves,
Tofu
Ah.. it isn't Lola fault at all (*Lola, I hope you are reading this).. those evil squirrels were taunting her!
Very impressive jump though!!
oh lola...i hate it when mom figures out my getaway spots...they think they are so smart...i am sure you will find a new place to escape...and as long as you come back when you are called...what is the diference...
Wow, we be bery impressed, but glads you be safe. xoxoPugsley, Buster and Cricket
It had to be the squirrels fault cause that's a serious look of innocence. I'm really impressed with your jumping skills though!
Dot-Spot
What a mean mommy, not letting you catch and eat that squirrel.
I must say though, you are very athletic, just be careful. I don't want you to get hurt jumping up.

Oh MAN, that is just not right. Those nasty squirrels were within your reach and you had to leave them. That's a really good pouting face, though - impressive!
Wow........I like a girl who can jump & chase squirrels!
Impressive Lola!
