Oh man, what a morning I had. I was leading the dogs into the car
for a trip to pick up a newspaper. lead smokey by his collar & put him in
Then got Maggie & just when I opened the door for her, she took off out
the open garage door. ( I must have let go of her collar an instant to soon)

I grabbed a leash from the trunk & took off after her. I called, and called
but she would not stop. I ran after her as she lead me all over the neighborhood, through people's yards & out into the street & across the
street, and down to the next block. There were cars & trucks going by
and I was frantic. Any second she could have been hit by a passing car

She kept running and stayed just ahead of me all the while. She finally
stopped at somebody's house about two blocks away. A yound boy was
sitting on his steps & must have heard me calling Maggie because her took
hold of her collar & lead her back to me. I thanked him over & over again.

I learned two things today. #1 I definately need to work on recall and
#2 I am seriously out of shape.
