OMG I would have been so scared!! Glad to hear that things worked out ok.

I don't trust Jaxon without the leash - he's gotten out before and he thinks it's a game when I'm trying to catch him. Not fun.

Rae Rae,
I'm so glad you are both ok and so proud to know you. You would sacrifice your own body for that little one!

Wow, I'm glad you are both okay! We live on a dirt road that doesn't get much traffic, but it never fails, as soon as I have one of my dogs off a leash, some idiot will come driving by twice as fast as they should be. :rolleyes: I'm glad the bus driver saw you and stopped in time!

I'm so glad you are both ok. Sometimes I let Teddy walk from to car to the house unleashed because he has never tried to run off. I don't know if he would run if he saw a bunny or squirrel though. I am having second thoughts about this now. Thanks for the reality check.

I hear ya sometimes it's just easier to trust them and let the go out without a leash but Peeka has run off to many times to trust him anymore he does really good for the most part but those few times scared the crap out of me so never again

That has happened to me lots... Thank goodness each and every time he's never gotten hurt.. The worst time for me is when my youngest son left the door open and I was upstairs... I noticed the door was open and then started running around asking the boys where Riddick was.. They didn't know, but Preston said in his little voice, Riddick had to go peepee.. I thought I was going to die... Riddick was running around town and I couldn't see him... My oldest son 8 at the time.. Jumped on his bike and went riding around town looking for him.. I was crying because I thought my baby was gone for good... I was calling for him outside to see if he'd come to me.. I called my husband at work and he went out looking for him too.. then a lady asked me if I was looking for a little terrier dog with a red collar.. and I said yes.. and she pointed to me in the direction she had saw him... So Gabe went down in the direction that the lady said and within 10 long terrifying minutes Riddick came running back in the house... I asked Gabe how he got Riddick to come home and he said he did nothing.. He followed Riddick home... That was the scariest day of my life, next to my baby (Preston) getting leukemia.. But that is a diiferent story... I always make sure Riddick is picked up or put in his kennel until all doors are shut..:aimeeyork

safty first
 

Just came from the vet and they had Two small breads there who were attacted. big dogs who were not leashed. I also have a friend who let her yorkie out, in her fenced yard where she went out also, and a hawk grabed her baby and she could not do a thing because no leash, I decided I will never let my candy or cinnamon out with out a leash any longer not worth the risk
