this morning #2240.

this morning, a crazy decibel-breaking backfire bang frightened me so much that i jumped. accidentally released the leash & she took off into the park. off across the lawn in a full-on sprint. just as startled as i’d been by the extremely loud sound. i hurried after her as quickly as i could but she’d already opened up at least a fifty-foot lead. fast little fucker. before i knew it, i’d lost sight of her as she ducked into the forest. i kept running in that direction, hoping that, now that she was sort of hidden, she’d stop for long enough that i could catch up to her. when i reached the forest’s edge, i scanned the trees to see if she was among them. nothing. wandered the park for the next hour searching. spent the rest of the day putting up posters & wishing i’d had her chipped.
