Every time we go out, I know I have to hold onto the leash tightly or else she'll be sprinting down the street chasing a squirrel or a bird.
Last Saturday, as I was hastily trying to get ready to meet my parents, Milly and I went out for our morning potty walk. As we turned onto a side street, she spotted a squirrel and before I knew what was happening I was left standing on the sidewalk with the handle on my retractable leash, but no more Milly. Yup, she was halfway down the street chasing a squirrel and she pulled SO hard on the leash that she broke the retractable part from the attached fabric part. I was left with the handle and Milly was dragging the fabric part. Luckily, the squirrel went up a tree fairly quickly and he didn't cross the street, so everyone was safe (including the squirrel due to his hasty tree climbing). I had to then try to walk Milly home on the 12'' of fabric that was still left of her leash.
Luckily, the PARENTS were in town, which meant I got a really cute collar and leash for the Mills that day at a cute boutique in Short Pump that we happened to walk into. When I saw this print I KNEW it was meant to be and I had to get it for her.
Yep, thats right. Squirrels with pastel acorns.
This is the only pic I could get of her modeling it. She was not diggin it.
She is still getting used to the non-retractable, shorter leash (and so am I). She starts panting in about 30 seconds because she is pulling on her leash so hard. She will learn one of these days.
