Well, not technically an escape because the side door was open (thanks to my son Aidan) when I put Coal in the front door and left the house for about 30 minutes. Thank goodness I was only gone 30 minutes! He managed to eat almost a whole pencil so I'm kinda freaking out! I haven't found any more damage yet but I can't be sure there isn't any. Have any of your dogs eaten pencils and lived to tell about it? Sheesh Coal!!!!! :roll:
