[Sadie's Mom]

OK, so Friday was the WORST day ever. My parents were here visiting & they got here before I got home from work. While they were here, the maintenance man for my apt. knocked on the door. Dad thought Mom had picked Sadie up, but she had not gottne her yet. So when Dad opened the door, she took off. Dad ran off after her (or rather, hobbled as fast as he could....he's got a broken toe) and yelled at her. SHe actually stopped & just put her head down & let him pick her up.


THEN....

Friday night I was walking her & we stopped to talk/play with a friend of hers. They were running around & playing & stuff and somehow one of the hooks to Sadie's harness came out of the leash. THen the buckle to the harness came undone (I think she chewed on it & it didn't stay shut good). Sadie stepped out of her harness & off she went. I was so scared because she runs from me. She ran around to the front of the building where there are a lot of cars & we are near the street. I was pretty calm, but kept calling her & trying different tactics to get her to come to me. After a couple of minutes, she just ignored me, and I was able to sneak up behind her & snatch her up. It was then that my heart started racing. I was so scared!!!!
