I would swear today was a Monday if i did not know better! This is how my day has gone. First, at 6 am I wake up to my outside dogs going crazy. I have two Beagles and one Great Pyrenees. They have a raccoon trapped in my pond. They will not let him (or her) get out. My one Beagle would kill it for sure so I had to wake my son up to help me. We held the dogs down and the raccoon ran away. Thank goodness.
Then, Miss Rosie decides she will pull a nice little event on me. I always let Rosie go outside on her own. Only once did she run up toward the cows on the land next to us. So, having her run freely has never been an issue.
Today I take her out and all of a sudden she puts on her terrier stance!
We do not have neighbors next to us. Only pasture and woods. The property is surrounded with barbwire fence. There is a strip of clear land then the rest is grown up woods. Very dense woods. And I know there are lots of critters that live there! Anyway, Rosie has spotted a squirrel in the tree. At this point, the squirrel decides to take off. And so does Rosie!
She goes through the barbwire fence and takes off to the woods. I am begging her to come back, shaking, and crying because she was totally ignoring me! To make a long story short, I had to climb the barbwire fence and go through the woods to get her. I was not a happy camper!
But so glad my baby is ok! She scared me to death.
So, I guess now I am going to look for a harness to use just for taking her outside. I have some cute dressy harnesses that I have bought here. However, I am thinking about just a plain one for going potty. Any suggestions?
Sorry my rant is so long. I was a terrified mommy!
