Ollie the Wally is 'a bounder!' I got up early and took him out into the fields this morning. Before we even got there he suddenly sat down and backed out of his harness. He is a funny shape- slim with a barrel chest so you can do up his harness tightly and then when the mood suits him he can stretch and morph into a pipe cleaner or a snake and slither out of the harness so he is free. This is what he chose to do today!
When this happens I can do one of two things- start calling him to come back or act like I haven't noticed. When I start calling it seems that I have entered into a game- a game of hide and seek. This is a game I can never win as Ollie can run like the wind!
No the choice I must take is to carry on walking, act like nothing is wrong and go into the field as normal with Ollie running beside me. If I do this Ollie will come bounding up to me jumping up and trying to lick my face more than willing to have his lead put back on and return home when the time is right!
