I am always bragging about the wonderful things my girls do, esp. to people at work but this is a quick story I have to share...
Last night Ralph left for the week on a business trip, so I took the girls to his parents for dinner. I had them about back playing and since it is only a short distance fromt he fenced in area to the door, I did not have them on leashes..mistake on my part. As I was opening the door to go back in the house, Cincy bolted on me. She was about two houses down, I called her back to me, she stopped looked at me and kept right on going. I was at a loss...I knew if I ran after her it would become a game. I was trying to call her, but obviously the new neighborhood was more execting then mom. Here comes Sadie around the house and sits next to me. Without thinking, I said to her, go get your sister...AND SHE DID!!! She ran Cincy down, turned her around and got Cincy to follow her back to me. I am still not sure it was the best decision to let Sadie going running through people's front yards, but I am so proud of her for doing what she was told!!! :)
