DOLDRIEST has set the topic as DIY for her latest ultra-flash-fiction challenge, which requires a six-word story supported by a picture. I am doing my story in Dutch, Afrikaans and English. (The picture speaks all of them.)
Lage muur hoger; honden thuis blijven!
Lae muur hoër; honde bly tuis!
Low wall higher; dogs stay home!
I do hope this invention (self and DIY friend), and construction and fitting (the DIY friend), is going to prove collie-proof! It will be noted why I needed to fix my chainsaw – that pile foreground right had to be removed to allow the raisers to fit.

That’s a solid piece of work, Col! And after I googled the abbreviation DIY, I can’t understand why I didn’t understand that immediately LOL.
I hope your story has a happy ending and your collie stays in his domain! 😀
Thanks for participating once more, and have a lovely Saturday.

That is what we are doing building trellis fence to keep dogs in, looks good so decorative as well as functional.
Well done you have worked well

It was certainly simpler and more cost-effective than trying to replace the wall or heighten it with further slabs!

Leave out the la. Perros! A casa! Would do it.
Incidentally at the finca over the road I was horrified to see a bodeguero (Spanish ratter, originally used in the sherry bodegas, look a bit lik Jack Russell’s which now seem to be called Parsons for some reason) clear a ginormous gate, say 10 or 12 foot. And at first attempt. Her agility was breathtaking. I suspect my little Podenco might be similarly agile, but touch wood so far he’s shown no inclination of jumping up and out, too busy digging and tunnelling to go upwards luckily.
