One evening last week as we headed out for our after dinner stroll (which is getting quite dark), just a few steps from the house there was a snap and Miss Hailey Bug was no longer attached to the leash. Years of strain had caused her leash to snap.
Fortunately, she responded to the Man's calls to wait and he was able to hold her while Lady went to retrieve the back up leash.
Lady was very grateful this happened where and when it did. Can you imagine the end of last weeks skunk encounter if the leash had broken then?
I am disappointed I didn't get to adventure.
oh wow.... that are the scariest moments!!! it happened with da phenny too and he also missed that chance... I carried him home but I dreamed the whole time about a chihuahua LOL

ReplyDeleteYikes, well, Lee, maybe it's best we don't let our minds wander too far down the 'what if' path!!! Hugs and wags, YAM=aunty xxx
Wowza, Hailey, you obeyed so well! I know your pawrents are proud...but honestly, I'm a little disappointed in you. Oh well, keep those humans guessing!
ReplyDeleteWe're glad all ended well with that broken leash. Sorry you didn't get an adventure, Hailey but it's better that you stay safe.

ReplyDeleteMiss Hailey "Bug" humans are such buzz kills and party poopers. We will just have to use our mind's eye

Argh! We had that happen on a walk. Now I have an extra ring attached to the leash that will at least keep dog and lease together till we can replace. You guys were very lucky.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was a close one!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a good girl, Hailey. I hope you got extra treats for waiting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good girl you are, Lee! Now it's time for a new leash!
ReplyDeleteGood thing you taught her that "wait" command and she responded well. Mom often thinks she should tie an extra leash around her waist when she is out walking.
