I though having a pet was supposed to relieve stress. This topic reminds me of a (now) funny story. We had just returned to our dock from being on the lake, my hubby thought Kirby, our last dog would stay right by us as we unloaded and went up to the house, our yard is long and up hill. Well Kirby takes off at a fast pace towards the street. So now I start running up the hill through the yard as he is already running down the middle of the street, so now I am running/panting, arms waving, barefoot in only my bathing suit trying to follow him. My neighbor was walking about 8 houses away and Kirby started running toward her, but a few feet away he runs back toward me, but now he is zig zagging like he is playing dodge ball as we are trying to catch him. I was so pizzed at the DH because I had told him not to put him down without the leash, I swear something having a dog is so stressful, LOL my heart is pumping just by typing this story.
Once again I am SOOOOOOO glad Maggie is safe, I bet you wanted to kiss and ring her neck at the same time! |
