YaY! Hubby plugged one of the holes in our back yard fence last evening!
4 foot high chain link fence has never been any problem in the past - it always kept George (Australian Shepherd) & DJ (boston terrier/minpin) within safe & secure bounds. But not so with Coco, a very high energy german short hair/weimaraner mix who is seemingly able to leap tall buildings in a single bound with enough motivation 
And it seems CATS are definitely enough motivation for her!
The neighbors directly to the east of us are very afraid of dogs. It took them a good long time to come to accept George after we moved in, & after awhile they did come to admire him from the other side of the fence. But after Georgie passed away, the neighbors are not nearly as tolerant of Coco, who is much bigger than George was. Also much younger & more rambunctious. And of course able to leap tall buildings, as well as fences.
So yeah, the relationship between the neighbors & us has pretty much changed for the worse since Coco decided to jump the fence one lovely fall afternoon to chase after the stray cat the neighbors wife happened to be petting on her lap.
Since I try very hard to be a good responsible pet owner & try to be understanding of neighbors, Coco was not allowed in the back yard without being tethered after that episode, which, BTW, brought a VERY angry neighbor spitting & sputtering out of his house in defense of his wife!
But I really don't like doing that. I'm just the kind of dog owner who likes to be able to open the back door & let the dogs out to do their business & run & play for awhile rather than having to leash them everytime they go outdoors.
There was only one 3 foot wide section of 6 foot tall privacy fence missing between our yard & the neighbors, & hubby finally filled that gap last evening! I'm soooo happy! I'm able to let the dogs out now without having to restrain Coco further. Even tho we don't have a very large back yard, they're still able to run & run chasing after each other! And I no longer have to shuffle out in bathrobe & slippers to let her do her business in the cold mornings!
We still need to put sections of privacy fence to the west & on both gates, which hubby will slowly but surely get around to, but Coco has never seemed a bit interested in jumping over the chain link in those areas, perhaps because it's on an upward slope in that direction & she would have a harder time getting over it, & since there's no motivation she just doesn't bother trying.
