Freedom

The little humans were taking out the trash this morning. I am always ready for a possible escape when they are near a door. They made it so easy. The door was left open just long enough for me to sneak through. I stood right there, on the outside, taking it all in. I was right there with them and still got away.

There was a long chase - humans, cars, dogs. But I know better than to get too close. This was the best day to pick to escape. I heard Crazy Lady talking about all the things she had to do today.

It was so hard for me to do, but I stayed away from the bus stop and all the other little humans. I thought about boarding the bus, but I knew I would be trapped. Crazy Lady gave up and went home. I circled around the opposite way and was there in the yard when she got back. But I wasn't done yet. I enjoy letting them know I am still out there - free and they can't get me. I think I ran up our hill about 14 times. I even went into our garage.

I came home finally, but it was on my terms. I even got a treat for it.

The Shower Part 2

There is a new human that keeps coming over. I like him, but he make a lot of noise upstairs. He carries things in and out of the house. He is working in the shower.

I keep trying to get to him. I go lay down like I am told. I stay there long enough for Crazy Lady to think I am listening to her. Then I sneak away with a stealth-like crawl. I bolt up the stairs and nibble on my friend. It doesn't last long. Crazy Lady puts a leash on me and keeps me with her.

It is so hard to hear the door opening and shutting so much. So much freedom out there and I am on a leash in the house.

It was noisy and scary outside last night. I tried to get to the shower to bunker down. But there was so much stuff there. How am I supposed to be safe? They won't let me run free. They won't let me jump all over people. And now they take away the shower.
