Snapshot Sunday 23

I had some early morning adventures today. Walter woke me up at about 4:00, whining. We've changed our walks enough that he didn't get all of his business done, I guess, and rather than listen to him whining for two hours I got up and we went out for a quick poop in the back yard. I did not leash him, as he's never done anything but go back to the door. Well... this time, he pooped and then while I was cleaning it up he ran off. Like, right past the door, onto the street and disappeared into the dark. He's little, he's black. And apparently fast! I had to go put on more clothes, then started a circle search for the little shit. After twenty minutes I found him, he came running to me when I called, tail wagging and completely proud of himself. I was ... not pleased. Thank goodness it was so early (though had it been lighter out, I would NOT have just let him go out unleashed), as there were no cars, no people and no other dogs out.

Needless to say, it took a while to settle back down after that and we now have to go back to leash on always. Have I mentioned that I really could use a fenced back yard?
