That's beautiful, Natalie! 3 more suggestions for vigorous clems that will go up the lattice and onto the lattice on top are galore, huldine and viola. I have the same stockade fence and all 3 of those go over the fence to the other side. Huldine is pictured below.

Another vine that would work well for your situation is wisteria, as long as you get an American variety. Chinese would pull down the top lattice and possibly the fence. I have Longwood's Purple on my fence and a clem that grows up the woody bottom of the wisteria.

Sorry to hear of your husband's injury. If it's any comfort, I've had Labs for almost twenty years, they become perfect (almost) dogs around the 2 year mark. When they're young, keep them very, very, very, very, very tired!
