darn dog


so let me start by saying i really do love my dog. he is a cute fluffy little thing with great people skills. well, most of the time. he is however, an escape artist.

he loves to run. i was heading out to take him for his morning walk. the princess and i were going to drive up to the bike path so she could ride her dora bike while i walked the dog. she went to the bathroom while i loaded her bike into the van. i had said dog on a leash with a gentle leader. while i was waiting in the garage, it happened. he escaped from the gentle leader. how, i am not quite sure.

off he went. each time i got close he would look at me as if to say "are you crazy lady, this is a game and i am winning!" i mean is he really that dumb. doesn't he know that i feed him and water him. i bathe him. i take him for walks. only beat him when he escapes. ''

needless to say, more that 30 mins. later, i got him. he ran into the farm field across the street and through many neighbor's years. he rolled in various piles of dog feces all the while playing his little game.

he is now banished to his kennel for as long as i decide. i'm no fool. i know he doesn't know why he is still in there. he doesn't even remember why he smells like other dog's poo. it just makes me feel better to leave him in there. besides, he is sleeping.
