I had a fun time today. I was right in the middle of making zucchini bread when there was a knock at the door. Harry went into fits of loud barking as I'm trying to hear what my neighbor is telling me.

Chief is loose. Great. So I head out to see about catching him. Hawk and Russ are racing around the turn-out all excited by this turn of events. Of course that just got Chief running faster. And he's supposed to be on stall rest. Right.

I went in the turn out and caught Hawk and put his halter on. I figured if I could get him to stop running it would settle Chief down too. Russell had other ideas. He kept running as fast as his little legs would go. Chief went flying down through the wash and onto the neighbors property. Great, he's headed for the road. I finally got Russ coralled and tied the little stinker up. Meanwhile I'm hanging on to Hawk. I walked him to the far end of our property and called Chief. He saw me with Hawk, and turned toward us. Thank goodness!

At this point hubby hears all the commotion and comes outside. He called to Chief and the big stinker trotted right for him! We all started laughing. My neighbor handed Tom a halter, and he took Chief back to the barn.

This was way too much excitement for me today! Wait til the vet hears about this one!
