Yesterday I went shopping leaving Ollie with his master, on leaving I said my usual, don't let him in the front garden as he will try to find me (pushes though the hedge) OH never thinks there is a need to close the side gate if he goes to water the pots etc despite my constant reminder....I got the look
and another from a disgruntled Ollie.
On returning OH approaches and looks visibly drawn. Seems our boy did indeed get out into the front garden and sneak past his master and stood in the center of the road - lucky a lady in a car stopped(she explained she walks her dog past and knew he shouldn't be there) Ollie greeted her by barking and OH heard him.
Ollie thankfully was not affected by his adventure but OH really was upset, and has vowed never to leave the side gate open again. Phew you can never be too careful and at eleven he still gets up to mischief and the scares us out of our wits.
I never underestimate my boy and after all these years it seems yesterday hubby learnt a valuable yet scary lesson about our boy.
