Scariest Chewie Moment

I thought I was going to scrape up a dead Chewie off of 70th street today. On Sundays such as today, when the sun is out and it isn't too cold, I take Chewie to the dog park. It gives him a chance to run in a fenced yard and play with other pooches. Well today Chewie realized that his head can fit through the fence at the dog park (why they have 4 inch wire fences in the "little" dog area of the dog park I have no clue). Well in Chewie land, if he can get his head through, he can get his body through and in one slick moment Chewie was out. This may not have scared me if he had gone through the fence from the little dog area to the big dog area, but no, Chewie went through the section that goes to the parking lot and then onto a busy 70th street.

I of course wasn't quick enough to catch him from escaping and luckily I had my running shoes on! I ran after Chewie (but of course got held up through the 3 gates a human must go through!). I saw him go into the parking lot, but couldn't find him. I feared the worst, I thought he had gone into the road. But thankfully a woman, a man and a pitbull saved my Chewie from the street. Thankfully Chewie is a very social pup with humand and dogs otherwise... he may have been road pizza!

I have never been so scared in my life! I cried the way home, thankful I had my pup. I am motivated to write the city a letter about the fencing, which isn't appropriate for a little dog section, but am sure I will get a response that they do not have the funds to fix the fence. Which will most likely motivate me more, afterall we pay so many taxes. This also motivates me to start saving money for a fence of our own, so Chewie can just go outside our door to his own play area, though it will be minus the other pups.

Update

Well, I was told this weekend by a dear friend that I don't blog on a regular basis. And it's true! I enjoy blogging, but have to admit that since I cannot use my work computer for personal use, I don't log on much anymore. The state is much more picky about my use of their computer than I was when I was in private practice, or any previous employers were. So to all who follow my blog, I apologize! I will try harder to keep up and keep you posted.
