Honey’s independence

When our little pomeranian doggy first came to live with us, she didn’t obey her new family very well, she let us know how independent she was! We were always very careful to make sure she was on the leash whenever we took her out of the house. Well, the best plans can go awry. On one incident when I opened the door to go put away our recently emptied trash cans, Honey was tailing me as I was heading for the front door, she slipped past me like greased lightning and headed for the wide open spaces at warp speed. I don’t run very well because I am handicapped and so I called for my wife and daughter to assist me. After we all split up and scoured the neighborhood yelling Honey, Honey - we finally found her and Honey acted contrite and submissive after this incident. After this incident, you can well imagine that the leash rule was strictly enforced again. About six months after this incident, we went to the drug store to pick up a prescription and took Honey with us because she loves to be with her family. When we came home, we drove the car in the garage and opened the car door. Honey bounced right out of the car and - we said oh, no. I started down the neighborhood to the North and my wife headed South with both of calling our doggie’s name. I couldn’t see her in my search and my wife couldn’t find her either. My wife said she was going to continue the search by car, so she started the car and backed up and - there sat Honey waiting patiently for us on the kitchen door step.
