Freight

So I take banes out for his walk, it's always longer at weekends. Thought I'd go a different route where we would pass a few different fields. Let him off his lead, don't go far, call him back, give a treat etc etc, done this through 3 fields. On way home just had to pass one more field, all feeling tired now, I let him off he was fine, again not going too far then we went around the corner and banes saw a JCB. And he was off!!! I called him, oh no he wernt having that, so I followed, and followed and followed, I'm sure it wasn't a pretty sight but who cares, anyway up to th golf links he goes, through a muddy lane that was covered in brambles either side, me still calling him in the calmest voice I could muster. Then he appears at my feet, plastered in mud shaking from head to paw. I could of hugged him if I wasn't so knackered from all that running. Anyway home now, hugs given and now he's having a rest before his bath. Poor bugger don't know who was more scared him or me. But all safe now thank god

Awwww bless him, I hope the digger didn't scare him too much (I have driven a JCB). Hope his enjoys his bath although I doubt enjoy is the correct word     

Ooooo! this is everyone's nightmare, your heart would have been in your mouth. I'm glad Banes was safe; and perhaps now will stay a little closer to you,
Hugs to you and Banes

So glad he's ok

It must of scared him a lot, he has slept since we got back, he's only moved to come closer to me or get on my lap. He's totally ignored my daughter which never happens, he was growling a lot in his sleep too. He's in bed now, quite happy to go in his crate. I'll see how he is in the morning.

Ooops, a long lead would've been handy! Glad he's ok

Glad its ok

I remember i had my dog off the lead and he seen a cat and chased it for ages,i was running like a mad man after him   his recall went out the window and the only thing on his mind was to catch the cat

A long lead would of been very handy lol. He's fine this morning but won't be letting him off today lol
