BJ's adventure into the unknown...

Mommy better keep watch, I am an escape artist

Yesterday was quite a day for me. I always look longingly out the front door through the screen, which is my most favorite place to sit. Passing dogs and their people are great entertainment, and we see MANY where I live! Sometimes I stand up on my back legs to show these other guys just how big I am. Well guess what! This time my paw knocked the latch and the door opened!! Yippee! I was out in a flash with Mommy hot on my tail. Being the good boy that I am , instead of running towards the street I went into my neighbors back yard. You see, they have a BIG doggie friend of mine there named Elwood. He, like me, has many toys. I decided to go up on his porch and pick up what I thought was his toy monkey and do zoomies around there back yard with it clenched between my teeth. Only later did I find out that it wasn't HIS toy, but his human Ian's toy.
Anyway, the most fun part of this was that I involved my Mommy in what she called an unwanted game of chase. It was fun for me though! Then my Mommy stopped the game and was squating down looking at the ground like she found something really neat. I came to have a look and Mommy got my collar and took me home. She said that I had her worried, but I don't know why. I didn't want to go anywhere, I just wanted to play!
Now when my Mommy leaves the front door open she latches the lock on the screen so that even when I stand up on my back legs and knock the latch it doesn't open. Oh well, I get to go out the front door all the time. Only now I am on my leash, and my Mommy tells me that this is for my safety!
