Until recently, Chloe had been off her leash outdoors a grand total of one time. Because she used that opportunity to take a flying leap from my parents' deck, she has remained tethered to either Shawn or me ever since. (Walking back from the gym on Saturday, we watched in horror as a pug dashed into busy 5th Avenue. The dog, miraculously, bounced off a sanitation truck's wheels and back toward the sidewalk, unharmed. The whole incident confirmed that you really can't be too careful.) Our landlords generously granted access to their fenced-in backyard while they were out of town, so Chloe was allowed to roam free under our watchful eye for the first time in ages.
As you can see, Chloe's hound instincts took over (though fortunately they weren't too strong: when a stunned squirrel fell into the flower bed, she was more perplexed than anything).

she is too cute! we have a fenced in yard and still haven't let our pup off the leash, he can't trusted just yet! we did play with him in a soccer field, but he seemed confused by the freedom. i'm glad that pug is okay, scary!
Yay, Chloe! She's adorable; I hope she enjoyed her little taste of freedom :-)
My parents have a dog park right across from their new apartment, and I've take Norman there at least five times so far! It's become clear that he likes it when there are only a few dogs around and it's not too rowdy. But it's so fun to see how he interacts with the others and how he sniffs his way around.
She is so precious! Enzo loves playing with other dogs his size, I'm sure they would be great friends! Isn't it just the neatest thing to watch them explore and play without so freely? Although it's been too hot here, Enzo could stay at the dog park for hours and roam, and to my surprise is very well behaved off leash. (No thanks to me, it's all his other guardian's doing!)
Chloe is beautiful. I love her coloring! She looks less red than I had envisioned her being. Glad she was able to have a little bit of off-leash time. Our dogs have a horrible habit of running after cars and just in general running away/after things, so they are never off-leash except indoors.
And you can tell by those last two pics that I should have watered the flowers *after* we let Chloe romp off leash.
Chloe is adorable! which makes me guess that she gets away with a lot of shenanigans haha. Our dog does, but then she licks our faces off and we melt.
We don't really let her off the leash much either, being a mini aussie she can run pretty fast and we know she chases after everything that moves so fenced-in yards/parks are a life saver :)
Enjoyed this post very much. Thank you. :-) Happy to hear that the pug bounced of those wheels unharmed.
She's adorable! We all need a little freedom sometime :)
A dog bounced off the wheels of a sanitation truck?! That's crazy! I'm glad Chloe could do some exploring in the backyard. She is so sweet. And looks a lot like Shawn :)
How fun! You can just see how happy she is in those shots atop the chair!
ahhh she look so cute! dogs needs to be unleashed every now and then to see more of what they can do with that little freedom they have :)
