On Vox: Run Sumsum, Run!
Aug. 17th, 2008 10:47 amThis morning I went for a nice morning jog, to get the juices flowing, so to speak. Totally unintentional, courtesy of good old Sumsum. My mistake was to let him out into the front yard without his leash. The little bugger sensed he was free to go, and boy, did he go for it. No matter how fast I ran, he was 50 meters ahead of me, stopping from time to time, giving me a look full of contempt, and pushing on. We ran the streets for a good fifteen minutes, when I noticed he was going even faster, and not stopping to look back at me any more. We closed a circle, got in the neighbourhood of our house, and then (bummer!) I lost sight of him. I decided to get the car (or the bicycle), so I could resume the search and mabye even gain a small advantage. My kids greeted me at the front porch. "Where did you go?" - "I lost Sumsum again". - "Oh but he just arrived home!". Thank goodness. He now knows where he lives.
