Goin Off the Leash

I'm not one of those dogs that can be trusted off leash. I Luuuuuuuuv to run, and run far..so my mommy tends to keep me close. She did get one of those extend-o leashes that goes out 25ft, but for me, I need like 250ft!
Today though, she let me outside without a leash..I think if I stay close (she did have a baggie of most excellent scooby snacks...) she will let me run & play. She worries that I'll go after the neighbors cat or the squirrels that are always snooping around. I'm a good doggie. I really want to go up north though, she just puts the leash in the car for 2 days, and lets me go root around the forest. I've chased almost every chipmunk in a mile radius! I can dig holes, run all over and nap in the sun on the grass. Ahhh the life of a carefree dog.

MOM! WHEN ARE WE GOING UP NORTH AGAIN???????
