Mischa is fine outside now as long as I have him off leash.. But he likes to wonder and I remember with Riddick I almost lost him quite a few times from him taking off.. I remember when we still lived in Quebec, and it was the middle of the night, Riddick wanted out side for a pee and as soon as I opened the door he ran out.. I chased him for 3 blocks in my P.J's and bare feet.. I thought I was never going to catch him.. I was so scared.. So now with Mischa I am a bit more careful.. I have to refind Mischa's haulter.. I have mis-placed it again..
