She wanted to be near them and before I knew it happened she slipped out of her collar. Because she's been so cold without heat in the house for the past few weeks I took her harness off this past week. I was tired of always having to take it off, change her outfit, and then put it back on. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Emma, the chocolate lab from next door who roams our property several times a day. (Much to my frustration. ) I knew once Jaelyn saw her she'd take off like a shot and sure enough before I could grab her she saw Emma and took off after her chasing her home. Thank God she took a breather to pee on Emma's potty spot and make herself known! That's when I was able to grab her. After the commotion I looked back to the whole thing and laughed a little. First, because me (with arthritis and fibromyalgia) trying to catch up to her must have been laughable. Second, because seeing a little 4 1/2 lb chihuahua chasing a 40-ish lb lab was more than a little funny. Though at the time my biggest scare was her without a collar telling people where her home is.. I could see someone not thinking to bother to check if she had a microchip or purposely not checking so they could keep her. That was what kept going off in my mind as I tried to go after her. It was the first time I realized what my life could be like without her in it. For that split second I thought I'd lost her for good and I'd never catch up to her. Thank God I was wrong. Back to the harness we go... Jesslan
