WE have had Chloe about 6 weeks. She is such a good little girl, never barks, isn't a licker, she does like to jump up but we are trying to break her of that. Ben and I wondered WHY would someone give up such a sweet little dog? Yesterday was such a nice day we decided to take Chloe to the local dog park here in Port Orchard and let her run around a little bit, get off the boat and run in the grass. They have a great dog park here, about 11 acres of trails and wooded paths, meadows and trees. Once we got into the woods a little ways we decided to release Chloe from her leash to see how she did, after all.... when we let her loose on the docks she minds very well when we call her to "come". I think I now know WHY they got rid of Chloe... As soon as that leash came off she was gone. And I mean GONE. Ben and I spent 3 + hours beating the brush looking and calling for her. Several times we caught sight of her as she darted from one pile of blackberry brush to another, but it was as if she didn't even see or hear us. Ben and I both got all cut to heck trying to go through the brush after her. We even called in a friend and his dog thinking we might be able to lour her out. FINALLY after the sun had started to set... here she came, all dirty and cut to heck, walking down the middle of the road. I coulda KILLED her! GRRRRRR.
Note to self. Do NOT release Chloe from Leash
