Every night I take Nebo for a walk to the church at the end of my street. They have a pretty big yard, and I let him go and run around on a 20 ft leash. He mainly tries to eat the leash and chase moths lol. Anyway, I usually go at about 10:30-11:00 and I always go alone. Everyone else is normally in bed. This time for some reason I convinced my mom to go with me...and I'm glad she did! I was running with him when suddenly his collar broke! It's one of those snap collars, and the snap just well...snapped! lol. Since it's a long leash he was quite a bit ahead of me when it broke. We both panicked because of everything we've heard about huskies...and running off...But I knew one thing for sure. If I would have chased him he would have just ran farther. If I chase him in my yard he just runs off like it's a game, and there's no way I can catch a speeding husky! We both just kind of stopped and started calling him really excitedly. I also found a treat in my pocket, and he came running! Phew!! While I struggled to hold him (he's 30 pounds now, and hates to be held down!) my mom snapped the leash onto itself and made a make-shift collar. I still carried him home, paranoid, lol. Ugh, now I have to go buy a new collar. I have a nice one I've had for years that I was planning to put on him when he gets older, but it's too big right now. But oh well about the collar, I'm just glad he didn't get away! He scared us!
