Woke up early this morning full of beans so left everyone in bed and walked Lottie to the field. My good mood soon turned to :evil:
As soon as I got through the gate I let Lottie off her lead and then noticed a lady putting her golden retriever on his lead and was soon to realise why. :? Lottie was stood still staring at him from about 30ft away. As I called her, the retriever suddenly bolted at her almost pulling it's owner over, growling and snarling at the same time:shock: The owner let go of him and he just chased after Lottie
. She ran like mad trying to get away from him, at the same time yelping, squealing and crying :roll: . She was petrified
To cut along story short, she found a gap by the gate small enough for her (but not him) to get through and out of the field and headed for home :shock: I've never run so fast in my life and no calling would stop her. Luckily, I knew she wouldn't have to cross any roads.
BUT....this is what really wound me up. Even though she was so frightened, as she ran with me in hot pursuit she passed a bread roll sat right in the middle of the pavement. She picked it up and raced on :shock:
When I caught up with her, she was sat on the front doorstep licking her lips :shock: :evil: I nearly collapsed from exhaustion whilst she sat there looking pretty pleased with herself :roll: :x
