Have a strong cup of tea & go hugs Lucy.

Wow, what a fright she gave you. Smokey once backed out of his
collar & bolted into the street while I was walking him. He just
stood in the middle of the street. He was frightened by my
trying to get him closer to a fire hydrant than he was comfortable
being. I jumped forward to grab him & hit my shin on the bolt
sticking out of the hydrant. I felt the pain immediately, but since
Smokey backed away from me, I just started a acting silly & ran
across the street & up to my porch. Smokey followed me up to the door & we went inside, with blood streaming down my leg & into my shoe. I still have the scar from that misadventure.

After that, Smokey was never walked without a choke or prong
collar and I never try to get him to go anywhere he does'nt want to go.
