Escaped!

Lately, we have been trusting Cooper more. BIG mistake. When Nate can pick me up from work Cooper Usually rides along. When we get home we have been letting Coop walk the last 10 to 8 feet on his own, unleashed.

Well, last Thursday we decided to let him get out the car himself and follow us to the door. This didn't go over to well. Cooper made a mad dash toward a lady, stopped to say hello, and then spotted us coming a took off running the other way.

I was terrified. We live off a busy road and I was so scared he would run into the street. So here I am in my dress clothes, dress shoes, and work bag chasing after him. Nate tried coming from the other direction, but Cooper dodged both of us and continued to run.

Then he spotted another nice young lady and went to say hello, but the minute she reached to pick him up he was off!

He stopped to pee, but cut it short when Nate almost made it to him. He went to the end of the block and crossed the street to see a man walking. Thank God he wasn't hit! Just at the same time a police officer pulled up, turned on his lights, and began to help us with the pursuit of Cooper.

Luckily, with the help of four people, we were finally able to corner him. I could tell Nate was so upset with him the whole way back to the apartment. I was so scared for him, but all I could do was laugh. That little pup was having the time of his life running from us. He thought it was a game, and for awhile he was winning!

We are just so thankful he is ok, and now we know that he cannot be trusted to walk to the apartment unleased.
