Souraya,

Thank doG he went back to the car!!!!!

Captain did that once - although he does LOVE to run, and run, and run ........ ignoring his frantic Mum!

John was in the car, and Captain loves to run all over following the car along the way. John took him (before we had Ruby monster) down to the dirt road we run him on, like normal ....... and he bolted around in the paddocks .......... and disappeared.
John called and called and called, reversed up and down the road ........ NOTHING! So he came home and got me (it was 6:30am!), woke me up saying "I have lost Captain" .........


Off we went, calling, and calling ...... staying on the same patch of road ...... went into the farmhouses, leaving my number just in case ......... John went off down a road across the railway line looking for him, and I rode further along the road, heading for the pound .....

And there, in the middle of the road sat Captain .... at the split in the dirt road about 1km away. Just waiting, .......... he was a clever boy, because the dirt road splits in two and sometimes we go one way, and sometimes the other, so he sat there and waited for us.

OH the relief, the tears ....... Souraya, I relived it with the Drakester!
