Well, Dr. Leaky an' me got BUSTED!!

[Merlin Magician]

O.K., so we went out for a little meet an' greet around da neighborhood.  We came back when Auntie Karen called us - eventually!  And den Auntie Karen finds our secret escape hatch and BLOCKADES IT!  What a revoltin' development dis is!

Merlin thinks he's just SO funny! 
Yesterday, my neighbor Tyronne comes to my door to tell me my two boys are loose!  Outside  I go, calling for them and whistling. :cussing:  Meanwhile, my other neighbor, a late 60's man named Jesse, stands on his front porch and starts yelling at me, using foul language, because I am: a) a Jew, b) white, c) German, and d) I've ruined America and should go back to Israel!  :idiot:

Merlin comes home first, followed a few minutes later by Beau.  I discover where Beau apparently pushed on one of the vertical rails of the deck until the bottom nail came loose, pushed it aside and JUMPED FIVE FEET FROM THE DECK TO THE GROUND INTO THE BIG YARD!!!!  :meme: FIVE FEET!!!! :jaw2:  IS HE NUTS OR WHAT???? :verdict:

As the Queen (or my mother, rest in peace) would say, "We are NOT amused!"

Glad to hear they were not harmed and made it home safely sounds like your neighbor is way off,Its a wonder the boys did not get injured jumping that far.

[David C.]

Glad to hear all are okay.  Rudy-angel was known to make some fearsome leaps.   We were visiting a friend's house.   As we went into the basement, Rudy went down a couple of stairs, decided to make an immediate left turn and jumped a good four feet straight down.  As he got older, he would suffer from pinched nerves in his neck as a result of some of his daredevil antics.   His back, however, was still in good shape, even as he closed in on his 13th birthday (Rudy never made it to 13, going to the Bridge about two months shy), in spite of those same antics.

Sounds like your neighbor is your typical Baltimoron.   Hope that Leaky and Beau decided to take a crap in his yard for good measure.

[Madderoos Mom]

Boys!  Be kind to your mother.  Do not give her a hat attack!

[Dee Dee and Hallie]

Good heavens guys, do not try that stunt again...don't you realize our legs are only 6" long??? At least you are back safe in your own home and I'm glad your Mom didn't take all the blame for ruining America and move away! U guys gotta idiot dopey neighbor but it's pretty funny the way your Mom tells it.

I'll be first in line to buy that book I think you should write....

[cheryl186]

OMG!!!!!  I woulda had a heart attack!  Thank goodness they are home safe and sound!

[peterparker]

dis is Parker: you guys got da good fing going so whys you run away. You guys needs to be careful. Dere are dangers out dere like cars and big dogs and especially dat wonky neighbor. Stay away from him, he is cwazy cwazy bonkers.

[papbouv]

You never know now days about weird neighbors never ever eat anything you see on the ground or if he tries to make friends with you guys never ever trust him he might try to give you something that would make you very,very sick and you may not recover from.
Recently in Washington some one was giving neighborhood dogs doctored up meatballs 3 dogs died,never found out who did it as yet.
Better for you & your Mom if you just stay in your yard.

[Brekkesmom]

Yup - we think you guys should stay home, too.  Your wonky neighbor may figure out that generations ago, we were German, too, so knock off the roaming, boys!

Love, Brekke, Robinton, Rowan Bella, and Bastian Edward

[Dr. Beau Leaky]

AHEM . . .

First of all, I must point out that there is no DIRECT evidence that I broke out of the yard.  MERLIN, on the other paw, has a long and rather colorful history of bolting at the slightest provocation.

SECOND, I would point an obscure but important point, vis-a-vis the nutcase neighbor: both Merlin and I were purported to be Bernese Mountain dogs, a breed from SWITZERLAND.  The man should get an atlas!  (AND a life!!)

THIRD, Auntie Karen only THINKS we escaped by leaping off the deck.  Perhaps we shimmied down the drainpipe!

There IS no drainpipe!

Maybe we flew! 

I BEG YOUR PARDON!!
Excuse me, Auntie Karen. :oops:  Please forgive my lapse of good manners.

Dr. Sherlock Holmes Leaky

[klsb]

Tee hee.. silly boys. They were probably trying to alert the police about the lunatic living next door!

[doxielady5569128]

I'm glad you guys had a fun adventure. Next time don't jump down from anything that far!!!   It gives us humans a heart attack!!  :crazyeyes:  Also, sounds like you need to stay FAR away from your "ignorant" neighbor!!!
