Must have been Spring fever.
Dogs never cease to amaze me.
Never have any trouble getting my dogs back from a run until to day.
The 13 year old refused to come in. She must have felt overdue for activity time. I've been sick so haven't had her out in a week .She did her slow jog for two hours, and then swam the 300 yard pond- freezing cold,+ waves due to high winds.
Unbelievable.
The other setter who is only allowed a 10 minute run due to recovering from TPLO surgery, escaped before I could get the leash on, and joined her mother , the 13 year old. She's not limping so ........
Both came in when they were good and ready, saying, "So what's the problem?"
Didn't have e collars on as they haven't needed them for years.
This all happened because one didn't get a decent run for a week and one has been restrained for 2 months due to surgery.
Do you think our dogs need exercise? :)
edit: 13 not 3
