Ledgers in the dog house

Just back from what had been a great walk along the canal, Ledger wore his rucksack to carry his water and peanut butter so he could have a kong while I stopped for a coffee

Well we got back to the car and I popped him in the back, he was tired so I went to pour him some water before we went and he ducked under my arm back onto the canal path then just took off! The usuall recall just completely fell on deaf ears then I spotted him heading towards a bloke with a little dog far far in the distance by the looks he just trotted along with them for what felt like ages while I tried to catch up without turning it into a chase game finally the high pitched as happy as I could make it calling worked and he sprinted back to me and just sat and looked up as if to say what?

He is normally so good and reactive to stand and wait and the bye with me pretending to run away has been 100% for recall until today needless to say he will have to build up my trust again before he goes off lead again

 Ohhh Jules, that would have got me worried too, sometimes you have to make yourself look so silly with the high pitched girly voice to get them back   ohhh Ledger you are in the dog house today   

Oh dear ledger, scaring mummy like that!

Oh Ledger you lil beggar! they are so quick sometimes   

Oh god! Little monkey, bet that was so horrible

It was more that I could see in his eyes first off that it was a game and he didn't even look back just felt like that chap after Fenton   

It was that catch 22, if he thinks he's been left or ignored then he would come straight back in a panic but with other walkers, canal boats etc I couldn't not follow and call him

Bet that gave you a fright! He obviously didn't want his walk to end.

Oh ledger you naughty boy! Your better give mummy lots of snuggles to say sorry! Xx

I am sure they just like to remind you that "look what I could be like" so you do not start to take good behaviour for granted. LOL

Oh dear Ledger, they are far too quick aren't they!
Bane has escaped me twice this week >.> Once to go pester a poor lady and the second to go and kiss a little boy to death! Thank god the father was ok, I was so embarassed!
