We have 2 horse pastures: a wooden post one and another that sports an electric fence. The horses have been in the wooden one most of the last 2 months as we are trying to let the grass grow in the (larger) electric fence pasture. Today the horses were put out in that pasture and the electric is ON. Billy decided to take Forest for a walk early this afternoon while I watched All My Children. He and my pup came back shortly after and she jumped up on the bed. Billy said that she got zapped by the electric fence (which has been OFF for months.) End of walk: he said she ran faster than he'd ever seen her run back to the house. (I think she thought he did it to her.) And that's my Thursday story. My pup and I will now go on a walk and I can guarantee that she will NOT go near that fence!
