Perhaps, we should consider changing their names from Dallas and Daisy to Houdini and David Copperfield, because the rascals escaped today.  Best we can tell, the wire is still alive.  That’s what the ohmmeter shows.

We’re still scratching our heads.  I guess it’s possible to dig the hole and scoot under soooo low that the dogs didn’t touch the wire.  Surely, they aren’t that smart.  Or that flexible.
