Oh my Blair, I am so glad to hear you know your way home but buddy, you have to look BOTH WAYS before crossing fella!

Whew!

You must have been surprised to see him home with no escorts! Glad all worked out well.

Sugar does the same thing. I was walking her and dropped the leash; no reason, just being a dunce. Off she went home! Scared me, too. Now, I have a leash around my waist and hook that to the plastic handle of the retractable leash so I can't be separated from her. Been doing this since mid February and it is working for us.
