What a glorious spring day...a perfect day for running away apparently. Our gianormous dog Chewie decided to make a break for it. One minute he is rolling around on the ground in doggie heaven and the next moment I look up from doing laundry to see a yellow streak blow past my sliding glass door. He managed to wiggle free of his collar. This unleashed a slight excitement in me as no collar means no way that anyone can identify him as mine! My mind shouted "Run Chewie Run! Really run for you life because if I have to chase after you one more time...." This excitement was short lived as every child in the neighborhood came running after him and to get me. I was sooo close! It didn't really matter anyway he wont run far just enough to torment me.
So I told Ethan to sit with Lily while I chased after the dog and
drowned him out back dragged him home. It was funny to watch all the wonderful well doers who tried to call him (as if I hadn't already tried) of course in hindsight maybe threatening him with the pound didn't help. I explained to all these nice people there was no way that he was going to get near them when he smelled the sweet taste of freedom and of course the chance to drive me insane. It took four of us but we did finally manage to catch him. With the added benefit that now perfect strangers know the beast dog is mine...no chance of him getting away now!
Then I get back to the house to find the back door open and Lily outside in her shoes with no brother, plus two new flies...GRRRR!! Ethan comes running out saying "Lily where are you?!" I cut him some slack since he is only six and I had just lost the dog (plus I was only like five feet away from her the whole time). But it goes to show you, you can't trust dogs or kids for that matter. But at least once can't talk and let everyone who to file the lawsuits against!
