Is this it?
Could she REALLY be gone?

On Sunday Dave decided that we should let her off the run and just see what she does. We can't possibly have a dog just chained up every single minute she's out! So here goes! FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, this has to be it! The dog took off like a bat out of hell. Running like she's never ran before (well, she hasn't!). Into the woods. Dave and Jilli headed out to find her, while Ethan heads back, giving up...my dog is gone, I knew it....she'll never come back. This all went on for about 5 minutes. Dave headed back to get in the truck to drive up to the other road to see if she made it across the creek and ran there. Just then...ears a flappin', tail a waggin', tongue a hangin'....she came running back home as fast as she could. That was it....just wanted to explore...I'm home now! When I told my brother about her excursion, he said that she got away from them once. Tom and Julie went in the house and closed the door. Oh well....she's gone. 10 minutes later there was a little scratch scratch at the door...she had returned home.
