Chihuahuas Discover an Entrance to Narnia

And no, it's not hidden in the back of a wardrobe.

I learned two things this morning... chihuahuas can fit through very small spaces (and I mean, verrrrry small), and it is possible for your dogs to induce a near heart-attack state even when you're in your early twenties.

Like usual, I let the chihuahuas outside this morning to do their business, and wind up getting distracted with something in the kitchen. A few minutes later I open the door to let them back inside, and only see Rylie and Tucker. That's okay, because Chloe is probably in the side yard... or so I think, until Rylie and Tucker disappear through a microscopic hole in the fence.

I do mean microscopic.

Find the hole.



I'll give you a few minutes to find it.

Still don't see it? Okay, okay, here it is:



I know. You're wondering "how in the world is that tiny space even CONSIDERED a hole?" Actually, it's even smaller when it's up close. Our neighbor behind us has a PVC sprinker tube blocking half of it, even. So it's literally a 2 inch space, that even a mouse would have to struggle to squeeze through.

But somehow the chihuahuas did it.

This is what was found beyond the hole. As you can see, this is why it was so appealing to the chihuahuas:

Armed with a bag of cookies, I ran outside in my PJ's to convince the puppehs that life isn't better on the other side of the fence (heh- no pun intended). Rylie and Tucker decided to end their journey for the moment, and slipped back through the hole (using some kind of magic, mind you. This hole was barely even visable!). Chloe decided to squeeze back through seconds later.

Tonight the chihuahua escape route to another world will be closed off for good, and adventures will have to be found elsewhere.
