Exciting day!

Phew, had an exciting few minutes this afternoon. The dog got out of the house before I could put her on her leash and she took off over the mountain. Of course, nothing was in my favor to run after her - I was wearing slip on shoes, which kept slipping off; Abby was outside playing in her house; Josh was in the house crying. So, I followed her for a little while, and then went back to our house. I asked Abby to stay inside and watch Dora (a hardship for her) while I went back out (with real sneakers on - and the leash). I found Whisper at a neighbor's house terrorizing their bunny. They also have two dogs in a pen that were barking the whole time Whisper was there (so I kinda knew where to find her). They were very nice folk, did no harm to my dog; my dog did no harm to them. S'all good. Poor Abby - when I came back the first time and she asked me where the dog was, I said, she ran away. Abby almost cried, "But, I want my Whisper-dog back!" Well, she got what she wanted. Another fun-filled day.
