Break Out

For the past month or more, when we go to the side yard, I have a 20 foot cloth lead on him with a leather lead attached to that looped onto my wrist, so that he cannot run away from the yard. Today he suddenly raced away from me, breaking the cloth lead, forcing his way through the plastic chicken wire fencing, ripping it, while I am screaming his name. A woman with a 1 year old yellow lab was walking past on the sidewalk. Guinness was madly in love with her dog. Funny. Dogs and owners walk past all the time, but it is only Oakley and now this yellow lab that have captured his attention. The woman seemed to understand, but she had to be frightened to have this 75 pound aggressively friendly beast come pounding at her from behind the bushes!
