Megan ran down the road, skipping and making all kinds of noise. God bless her!
She was far more interesting to Bandit than the bag of treats I was shaking!
He followed her right through the gate and back into the yard.

I need a drink now!
OMG!

Sounds like some of my "adventures" with "The Fluffie-Tailed Hunter", aka dear Bowser!

The lil Snot had a distance/speed calculator in his head that constantly evaluated his
position to me and my sprinting ability (poor) ... and when he managed to
cross the line
where New Dad could be reasonably expected NOT to *catch* him ...
Good-Bye Bowser!! --- Tyme to Go Huntin inna Woods!

The more you chase - the faster they run >>AWAY<<!

What (sometimes) worked was to shout gross obscenities in his direction, STOMP back
to the ranch, and give the door a MIGHTY **SLAM** ...
He'd (usually) trott back with his Fluffie Tail *waving* like a white flag!
"HI, New Dad --- I'z back!"

Grrrrr ...
Sure do *MISS* ya, Bowz!
