Had to chortle, Vicky. I have done my part to educate the public also. Last
Christmas I took Sisco into the Pet Supply store where my daughter works part
time. He walks in the door looking around for her. She was out of sight down
on her knees getting something from behind the counter. Suddenly she pops up
into view and before I had a chance to brace myself or let go of the leash, he
takes a flying run around the side of the counter to get to her, with me still
attached to the leash. Unfortunately there was a wire display shelving unit
between us and the back side of the counter which I did a face plant into. Came
up for breath with wreckage strewn everywhere, a nice deep cut right through one
eyebrow, and copious blood streaming down my face - very impressive for the
other customers standing around. Fortunately, a couple of butterfly Band-Aids
across the damage and it healed up very nicely after about a week. Most of the
scar is hidden in my eyebrow now. ;->
So I'd have to add a condition to your "Hang on to those leashes" and say
"except when in confined quarters and about to face plant into dangerous
furniture". Then it's better to let go, according to my daughter.
