Cissy's Rules

Our weather today has been more like a warm spring day, rather than December.  The dogs were feeling frisky on our afternoon walk.  Cissy doesn't wait for warmer weather to feel good, she feels frisky on most days. We were on the far-side of our property where the tall grass marks the boundary. The driveway for the home in back of us is on the other side, and the dogs who are off lead, know not to cross.  Cissy went into the grass, and stood there for a moment.  I had a feeling about what she was about to do.  I told her "no" and to come to me.

The warm weather must have been getting to her because she was suddenly deaf.  I watched her turn left and look.

I told her no again, as she looked right...

And as if she knew no cars were coming, she was off and running, and so was I!  Thankfully I caught her before she got too far. But I've a feeling that Cissy is under the impression that the rules don't apply to her.  Okay, she's right about that, but I'm not going to tell her.  But then again, she may already know.

We hope you're enjoying your weekend and your holidays!
