Since there are no cars around here, Daisy went off leash. (I'd seen Tom do it and she had seemed good about it). She LOVED it! She ran her skinny self all over the place but watched where I was and followed me at a distance. When I turned a corner or turned around I whistled and she followed. We had a good time. She returned tired and soaking wet. I returned and did my little work out in the home gym. I thought my workout was done for the day. I was mistaken......
This afternoon we were still feeling cooped up so we went out again. This time no rain. Christopher came along too and we went a bit further to the top of the hill that's to the north of the house. Daisy went of leash again and this time she went a bit too far......At one point she decided she would no longer listen to anything we had to say and went off to do her own thing. I did everything I could to coax her but she would have none of it. She would not come when called or whistled to.
I chased her stupid ass all the way to the Sea!
There is a road that comes into town that has a few cars on it and all I needed was for her to get hit. At one point she was running down this road with me in hot pursuit. We ran through private gardens, deserted lots, rustic, wild hillsides, around the community tennis courts and finally onto the beach. Once I got to the edge of the beach she disappeared over the dune. I couldn't find her.
It's a small town (but it was a long run from half way up the mountain to the shore!) and Tom says occasionally she gets out but always knows her way back. I was a nervous wreck!
After searching the beach for a minute and not being able to find her I headed home. I wasn't a block from the beach when she came prancing toward (and then around!) me. I told her to find her own way home as I was done with her.
I went towards home, she kind of kept her eye on me but took off in the opposite direction. At this point I gave up. Closer to home Christopher was waiting on the street (I had the house keys). I was over it so we went back to the house and left the front gate ajar so she could get in if she decided to.
She found her way back through the fence and barked at the back door a few minutes later.
She's just hateful!
Needless to say...she and I arent' speaking right now.
I had wanted to start my running program but thought it best to wait until I had my full lung capacity (still coughing a bit). But I guess I can start tomorrow, I got a good run in this afternoon.
Little Missy will now be on a leash when we leave the compound!
