Sled Dog...

Kruze and I had a yard work day today..we spent the afternoon cleaning up around the yard filling bird feeders,raking and burning leaves and just loving the warm weather. We had Lilli and Maizy outside with us all day ...we have been trying to train Lilli to stay close to us while she's outside , she hasn't quite gotten the hang of it yet , she may never get the hang of it...there are just too many distractions...cats sunning themselves every where... Maizy howling obnoxiously...a gigantic inferno of burning leaves just begging to be jumped into (where in Gods name is this dogs fear of fire!?)
Yesterday I was outside for about an hour with Lilli and she just would not stay by me I had to keep looking for her and I wasn't getting a single thing done...she is a Terrior and she is fast, the second I would turn my head she would run off around the corner of the house and out into the farmers field (which incidently has been freshly spread with manure) I couldn't keep up with her and I was trying to get a project finished so I decided to try an experiment...here, at this moment, is where I am pretty certain that all of you that are non-owners of Terriors will start to harbor large amounts of anger toward me...in fact I will not be surprized if my comments section is over flowing with hate mail tomorrow...on the other hand all of you that are owners of Terriors will no doubt find my invention the greatest since the invention of toilet paper!! Yes, it is THAT great!! Lilli is no longer known to this household as merely just "Lilli Jack Russell Princess Dictator of the Kruze family " she is now and forevermore known as "LilChinook Jack Russell Princess Dictator Lead Sled Dog"... cruel ? Maybe...but I for one am eternally greatful to the little blue plastic sled makers of the world...it didn't stop her but it slowed her down...
