Happy Saturday and happy weekend to you all! We slept in this morning which wasn't really in my plans, but hey. Sometimes it is necessary. Although I am used to staying up late at night, last night we were threw a little curve ball. When I decided to call it a night, I went outside to get my dog and bring him to his kennel, known around here as his "Hilton Hotel." It is a big kennel and he has blankies inside to keep him warm and cozy. He usually piles them up and shoves them away from him. Anyway, we were to hit a low of right at freezing, so I wanted to bring him in. After I put the leash hook on his collar and just as I went to take the hook off (his lead), I realized I did not take the right hook off. I took the leash hook off and off the brat took off. I guess I took the other one off first and didn't realize it. I stayed calm and tried to get him to come back and get in the Hilton Hotel. He loves that thing and usually can't wait to get in it. However, he had other plans last night. When I saw that I was having no luck with him, I poked my head inside and asked my husband for a hand in getting him in the kennel. When I got back into the yard, he was way out in the field and headed into the wood. Grr. It took us a good 45 minutes, basically waiting him out. He was apparently having fun exploring the woods. to get him back in the yard. My husband came and got me and told me he was back in the yard. He normally doesn't listen to my husband at all and was the case again. He discovered the rooster in my original grow out pen for the baby chicks and started ripping a hole in one of the sides. When I got outside he stopped --knew he was in trouble and let me get a hold of his collar. We then went to the Hilton Hotel. Unfortunately, he didn't get a cookie left on his pillow last night. And hopefully, this will be the last jaunt in the woods for awhile. It was way to cold for that at 2 am! So with that being said, the flea market is put off once again. We'll try to make tomorrow!

I wouldn't want to be chasing animals at 2 am.

@kaylachan The hubster went and moved him tonight. He had to go outside anyway so no use in both of us getting cold, right?

No chasing. That would just make it a game to them. We call him and wait for him to come out of the woods. No way I'd go out in the woods in the dark like that. We have too many coyotes around.

Once pets get a taste of freedom, they can be really difficult to catch again.

He likes to go for a run every now and then; he just chose a very bad time! We have lots of coyotes around here.

No, 2am is not the time for a jaunt in the woods. I hope that going to bed without a cookie taught him a lesson.
