You may recall this picture taken the day after the blizzard snow fell:

We wondered if Molly would ever notice the convenient ramp over the fence toward freedom. It took her a couple days, but she did.

Jim was sitting in the den looking out the window one afternoon. Some movement on the pond caught his eye, and as he looked out the window, he saw his loyal mutt romping around in all her free glory. She happily jumped back over the fence into her yard when called.

The next time the boys let her outside, Jake grabbed the camera and photo-journaled the event.

The escape route.

The approach.

The premeditation.

Lunging the head over the fence, ready to leap.

Molly, what do you think you’re doing?

Drat, caught red-pawed.
