Maycie, the Escape Dog

Maycie wasn't kidding when she said she was going to go "Ninja-stealth-style" on me if I didn't keep the camera out of her face! We adopted her from Maricopa County on Sunday March 1st. She's a really sweet dog. She caught Conal's eye on our way out. We were just looking, but didn't have intentions of really finding a dog for us there. It's a kill shelter, so once he had 'the feeling', we just couldn't leave her behind. She had been there since February 10th, and was an owner surrender. She's trained and chipped, and has lots of love to give. She's been great around the kids and is getting along really well with Daphne now. We had a short span of Maycie trying to prove dominance, but that ended pretty quickly.
Anyhow, Maycie has a very disturbing talent. She jumps over fences and cinder block walls. She's gotten out 4 times in the course of seven days. She was out one day for over four hours. Conal saw the one and only sign that was posted, a few blocks away, and called on it. We were able to pick her up, and have since been trying to figure out what to do to keep her here. When she hears a noise, she takes off after it. It's scary because we live right by a busy road. She runs in the middle of the road and also criss-crosses it, which is even more disconcerting. I would hate to see something terrible happen to Maycie. She's such a kind dog, but doesn't like to stay put.
