Something really amazing happened this morning. I normally walk Lucky and keep her on a tight leash. Today, something inside me told me it was time to let Lucky loose. I needed to see if my training the last couple of months beared any fruit. As I was about to finish Lucky’s walk, I let her off the leash. I was so nervous and worried she would run away. Lucky first walked away and then she ran. She got maybe a couple minutes of “freedom” but she was happy. Then she did something that really shocked me. I called her name and watched her wag her tail. She then ran towards me. I petted her put her back on the leash and took her home. I rewarded Lucky with many dog biscuits, pets, hugs, etc. If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, it was meant to be

(Lucky listened to my command, “Sit” very well.  She is good with the commands, “Kennel,” “Sit,” “Stay,” and “Lie.”  I will teach her more in the coming months.)

(Freedom!!!  Will she come back?  I was amazed how fast she ran )

(Lucky outside the gate of my house.  She ate a big meal of biscuits and mixed soft/hard dog food.)
