Midnight - Even tho the broken back gate stands open, and even tho Aesop knows it, he does not run away. I paused at the glass door to consider. What if Aesop did try to escape? As he didn’t respond right away when I jiggled the latch, I feared for a moment that he’d gone thru the gate. But no, he hadn’t escaped. He was doing his business in the grass. And then I knew I wouldn’t want to be without him. That I was lucky to have him. I learned to appreciate the “blue heeler from hell” whose devotion was not only assured but also rare. I have a friend.

I have sir john tiniel’s signature tattooed on my wrist. He illustrated Aesop’s fables in the 19th century.
I introduced my mother to Aesop’s fables recently. She loves them.

@Borath’s fable of Aesop and the Broken Garden Gate teaches you that true friends will never desert you.

Thats cool.(but please fix gate anyway to emsure safety)
probably nothing but a couple of nuts, bolt or screws.
Other animals might come in the broken gate too. That is how I ended up with 2 dogs back then.
