Almost lost Keva today

[Freedom]

Keva, do NOT tease mommy like that! Not ever!

Oh goodness, my heart started racing as I was reading, wondering what mischief she would get into while off romping. Glad her splash was near the edge of the water and she could get herself out!

Maybe take a baggie of special treats in your pocket in future? I take small bits of cut up hot dog and those are ONLY for training class and walks, they dont' get hot dogs bits at home or training in the back yard. So it is really special. I mean, dogs WILL be dogs and take a romp if there is ANY chance of freedom.

Have some tea with honey it in, and I pray you recover over night with no lingering cold or sickness! Hope you didn't gain any grey hairs over this!

Oh how scary Amy! Thank goodness you got her back safely.

I did have a bag of treats...but they were left along with the other collars when I ran off after her. Honestly I don't think the treats would have been enough to get her to come anyway, she was having WAY too much fun. I used hot dogs when we practiced come at home.

OMG!
Your thread title is a Heart Stopper - just like her "adventure" was!

I know your pain - I watched a lil MinPin pull the same stunt - except she was
wearing a collar and tags. She just never showed them to anyone.

I suppose ever Pup I ever had has done the run off - ignore - refuse to COME game
a time or two. And you fear it will never end.

How many Wild Promises did you make to the Guy Upstairs?
I'll never get all my IOUs paid off.

Slurp some hot tea, {{{Hug-a-Husky}}, and say 'THANKS, God' a few more times.

That's scary! glad everything tunred out okay

[Taz_Zoee]

Whew! That was scary!! And I'm sure you'd take a cold over losing her anyday, right?
I am glad it all ended well and I hope you never have to go through that again. Keva, be a good girl and stick closer to mommy during your outings. And Nebo, good job helping mommy get Keva within reach.

Man, that sounds very frightening, I'm glad you got hold of her (extra treats & belly rubs to Mr. Nebo!). It's a an awful feeling to get close & have them take off again, darn huskies! And your right, no treat can compete with new-found freedom from the leash of oppression! (Meeshka's name for it).
I hope YOU are alright, Amy! (((hugs))) Stay warm.

[zippy-kat]

How freakin' scary is that?!

Add me to the list of "heart racing while reading the story" people! Geez, I don't know how you held it together.

I'm so glad you were able to get her. GOOD DOG indeed, Nebo!!

[Karen]

Good boy, Nebo! How scary, Amy, we are glad you got her back. A night spent alone in the snow probably wouldn't even have made a dent in the "I'm a Husky! There's Snow! Let's run!" chorus in her brain!
