I was careless today. I honked and since Milo did not appear, I opened the gate. In no time, Mr Elegant Slow Mo Dog was off into the jungle. I'm in no condition to run after him so I left the side gate open and went into the house. I figured that he would come home when he had played enough. Kids always do, especially if you're nice to them. Milo is a big kid and we're mostly nice to him.
He came back home panting joyfully covered head to toe in mud. He tracked muddy paw prints all over the patio floor and sat down to make a butt print. Then he looked at me happily. I'll bet that he would have told me all the highlights of his escapade then if he could talk. Anyway, he can't and he was dirty. I grabbed him and gave him a good long scrub. He smells good and has soft fur again.
We now have 3 teens in the house... Milo, The Daughter and Little Boy. They all like to go on their own escapades. It's best for me to just wait for them to be done and then they'll invariably come home to be with me.

Awwwwww... Milo.. the teenager.. from such a wee little puppy. *Heart Melting. But then you know if I were outside your gate and Milo pounced out, even if in a friendly manner, I'd be really scared because he is such a strong dog I think I'd fall flat on my back!
Haha, he had so much fun! He's such a smart dog :-) I bet he's going to do it again very soon.
When Rusty was living at the farm, he was caked in mud everyday but he was so happy then.
OKC - Yes... he has knocked us over before. Many times!!
Ting - He's always on the lookout to do that quick dash. I give up. I'll just wait till he's had his fun and decides to come home.
