We had to take a run over to Titusville to get tickets for a shuttle launch yesterday, and left Harley crated for a lot longer than I like to. All in all, he was crated for about 5 1/2 hours and when he got out, you couldn't really tell the difference. He wasn't so much into playing last night, but then he had to go back in the crate for the night a short time later. This morning on our trip to the park, he was a maniac! It was all play for him and any semblance of order out the window. Training, which I try to get a bit of each morning, was completely ridiculous and the he got out of his collar...
One of the squirts distracted me while Harley was trying to play and he simply hunched down and backed his collar off of his head before I noticed. The first indication I had a was a small black blur running by me. This dog started running in ever increasing circles at full speed and would not stop for a good five minutes. I have never seen him run that fast before! The kids and I pretty sat there in awe, since there wasn't a hope in hell of catching him, we were alone in the park, and he wasn't trying to run away, just running.
Finally, he burned off his energy, and calmed down enough to get his attention. He played too rough again with the squirts, but I was able to catch him and get the collar back on.
From now on he wears the harness...
