Day 101

I had an extra peeled potato after I finished throwing a stew together in the crock pot. So I let dog 1 (golden lab) and dog 2 (German shepherd) play fetch in the back yard with it. It was quite comical especially when dog 2 discovered that she could eat the potato. I stopped watching them for 3-5 minutes so I could write a quick email. Dogs weren't in my line of view so I cracked the back door and hollered for them. Dog 2 came right away looking frantic and trying her hardest to talk to me. She usually talks like that when she's tattling on dog 1. When dog 1 didn't come after I called his name a few times I started to worry. I put my slippers on and walked around the backyard with dog 2 hot on my heels. Dog 1 is not in the back yard. I cursed. So I stomped through the house and out the front door. No dog 1 anywhere. Right as I was about to check the back yard again I see dog 1 off in the distance trotting towards me. So I called his name. Dumb @$$ didn't realize he was in trouble until he got close enough to see the steam coming out of my ears. Needless to say, dog 1 spend the rest of the day in his kennel with the bark collar strapped to his neck. Dog 2 was my shadow for the rest of the day. She was very concerned when I decided to run 3 miles on the treadmill and strategically positioned herself to catch me just in case anything happened. She knows how clumsy I am.

And dog 1 is still on my list. You'd think a year of having the invisible fence would fix his stupidity with running away. That was a waste and he has now lost his frolicking privileges. He will get chained to a lead from now on. That'll show him.
