and I'm still a wreck from it.
Every night we go to the park for a jog so we can both get tired uot for a good night's sleep. I was feeling lazy so we didn't go. Instead I took him outside to my tiny backyard to run around and chase him a while. Well, he got too excited and ran down the driveway and across the street. I saw the headlights of a car coming down the block and I screamed BRIAN, and he ran back across. OMG thank God in heaven a million times that the car saw him and wasn't going fast. He stopped short and Brian ran back up the driveway and straight into the house. He was all shook up, like he knew what almost happened.
This could have been a tragic night for me and my family, and it was all my fault. I'll never trust him to run freely outside the house off-leash again. He's like a child, knowing not to go into the street, but when kids and dogs get excited, they just run and forget the no no places.
If my dog had gotten hit or worse, I'd be in the hospital right now with a nervous breakdown. I love that dog so much.
He's so obedient in the park off leash, he listens to my commands and can run freely without being near the street. No more laziness, only the park from now on!
