too much trust.

i have a very well behaved dog. she is a little co-dependent, and perhaps takes a little too much joy out of shredding the stuffed animals that i give her, but none the less, she is very good. i do not tend to keep her on leash if i am close, and prehaps because of her co-dependency she does not run off. that said, i was sitting outside with my neighbor having a beer this evening and dixie (the dog) got that look in her eye that she gets right before she rips the stuffing out of one of her toys. seeing it and thinking that prehaps there was a dog walking by the house i grabbed a hold of her harness. thirty seconds later i am tipping backwards in my plastic deck chair, i hit the ground as dixie takes off down the drive way. down the street, through a few yards, and onto the next street dixie chased that poor little bunny.
the critter escaped unharmed, dixie seemed to be having fun, and aside from being a tad pist and kinda winded i was fine. i do have to wonder however if this was some kinda cosmic message. i was reading receipes earlier and wondering about this one, minus the kidneys...
