    It could have been worse

    Well, it finally happened. I let Lilly and Murphy out the garage door to do their business. They both absolutely hate going into the fenced area since they think I will never let them back inside. I kept a close eye, I promise, I did!!! Lilly edged up towards the golf course and Murphy was in pursuit, tinkling on every spot that Lilly did. I did my "aaaacccck" noise to turn Lilly around, but she didn't listen!!! Yikes!!! It is a beautiful, sunny 66 degrees outside and around 10:15 am. Surely there are golfers out there on Tee #5. Oh dear!!! Lilly took off into a full bolt (she NEVER does that), but she did this time and went right up to three ladies who were out there golfing!!! And Murphy went right behind her!! LOL!!! I was screaming "Lilly, STOP", but she would have none of that!! Thank goodness we didn't have a bunch of serious old men golfers out there this morning!!! And Thank goodness Lilly didn't pick up a golf ball and run away!!! I would have died right there. The three ladies were so sweet, and they were at the tee, not in the middle of play, thank goodness. They "oooed and ahhhhed" over Lilly and Murphy, thank goodness!! And they didn't get mad. Lilly has had her last venture into the side yard during golfing hours!!! If she can't listen, then she won't get to go outside that way again!!!

    awwww silly puppy's , you know you cannot play golf

    lucky the ladie's were friendly though, you could try a plastic or tin container with a few of there favourite treats in it to get their attention (by shaking the container to get their attention) then call and reward strait away

    Well, it IS Tuesday. At least it's not in the middle of the night and pouring rain.

    Glad the ladies were so kind.

    Oh how right you are, Loud Lou, and for once, Honey was NOT the culprit!!! Lilly and Murphy (who is deaf as a doorknob) were the instigators and no critters were involved!!!!

    I think you need to get them a set of clubs (they can share...) and for goodness sake....be sure and teach them golf etiquette!

    Logan, I couldn't help but laugh when I read the story. Of course only after learning they were on the golf course and not the street!!

    Oh this made me laugh and laugh! Thank goodness Lilly and Murphy descended upon LADIES! You know how guys and their golf games are - wouldn't have had such a pleasant outcome.

    Logan, maybe you could teach them to grab that little ball when it is on the tee - and then run and drop it into the little hole on the green! That would make everyone's day - and even the guys would go for it!

    I am now designing golf bags and clubs for Lilly and Murphy.
    And they will need some golf club covers........should they be of humans?

    aww! I can just picture Chloe doing something like that. She has a little something called 'selective listening'... Mostly selects to listen at times when food is involved, though...

    ROTFL

    I don't know which of you all are the funnier. Logan and her attention deprived girls (why else would they have to run away to get a pat or two on the head ) or Cinder and Smokey with their golfus rulez for doggers. It even got my *serious old man golfer* in here to read up on this thread. He insisted I copy it to send to his golf partner. (Hope you don't mind - but it's a classic!)

    Having done a bit of dog chasing in my time, I have to say misery loves company. If Hannah would have headed in a different direction, she would have made it to a golf course too. Yikes!

    Think of it this way...at least you got your exercise and a bit of fresh air and a memorable story. What you luckily didn't run into was one of those cranky old marshalls.
