Dog Talk

Meeko plops her furry self on the cool marble floor on a sunny day

I came home from work a little later than usual today. My dogs are usually tied up when the gate opens to ensure that they don't run out (yes, we've tried to train these mutts since they were puppies but they seem to think it's a game). We're afraid they might bite someone or get into fights with other dogs.

Tonight, however, Chino's leash was a little loose and he ran out without me knowing. Meeko, who was still tied up, tried to tell me what happened. She was crying and yelping and when I let her loose, she ran laps to and from the front gate. I had to calm her down while waiting for Chino to return from his 'joy run' in the park. She always tries to make it known that she didn't do anything wrong - if she could talk, she'd surely be a tattletale.
