Thur 4th May: PawNapping wot I foiled!!!

Tara:

Finally!  Mum has catcheded up enough blog for me to tell you about my Big Adventure!  I woz AWESOME!!!

And there aren't any pics cos Mum and the camera were left at home.

So, first off, Mum and Grandma and Grandad had this big boring conversation, all about walks, and were there poo bags, and did G&G have water, and yawn stuff like that.  I wozn't listening, cos Grandad had the leads in his hand and my ears switch off then.

Then it got really exciting, with leads and G&G and going out the door, and the gate and stuff, and it wozn't til we were outside and across the road, that I realised we had left Mum behind!  She wozn't with us!  For the longest time, I thought she woz going to catch up.  Coz she does that sometimes.  Or she is waiting for us.  So I kept looking.  And Cato woz with us, so that woz OK.  And all he woz interested in were the sniffs.

I kept looking for Mum, but she was gone.  And we were being dragged off.  Well, I was.  A bit.  But I didn't struggle much, cos I am too clever and cunning for that!

We walked for ages along the road path thing.   Then we crossed onto the green.  Then we crossed the green and another road.  Then we went along the lane and into the gate and along and along until we came to the field.  The one that Cato likes cos of the mole hills.

Then Grandma PawNapper got some treats out, and we had some.  They were OK for PawNappers.  Actually they tasted just like OUR treats.  So maybe they TreatNapped too!  And they (G&G PawNapper) made a fuss of me and then they let me off the lead wot they had used to steal me away from Mum!!!

So I was clever and brave and a Ninja Pirate, and I danced out of their PawNapping reach!

I told Cato he should do the same, but all he wanted was another treat.

G&GPN tried to tricksy me closer, so they could grab me again, but No!  I foiled their dastardly plan!  And when GrandadPN tried to catch me to trap me, I decided that I wanted my Mum, and I wanted her NOW.  So I set off for home.

I ranandranandran.

I ran out of the field and along the path and through the gate and down the lane and across the road - the cars all stopped, but I was running too fast to notice - and then I ran all the way across the green.  I was a bit puffed by then, so I stopped for a bit and watched GrandadPN running towards me calling me, with a treat in his hand.  But I am lotsandlots too smart to be PawNapped like that EVER AGAIN.  so I waited til he got nearly close enough to grab me, and then I was OFF!  And I ranandranandran again.

I ran off the green and across the road, and a man in a car stopped and called to me!  But he woz a PawNapper too - I can tell - so I just ran on down the road til I found GranandGrandad's house, and I could smell Mum on our car and our path, and I went and sat on the mat until GrandadPN catcheded me up and opened the door and I could find Mum.

Aren't I clever!!!!

And then there woz another yacky human conversation, with hand waving and fussing and I fell asleep cos I had run so far, and cos PawNapping is really exciting, and foiling PawNapping is heroic, and I needed a snooze.

Oh dear Tara!  I know you were a bit worried even though you were enjoying yourself.......but tsk tsk tsk.  You might have given Grandad a heart attack!  Across roads.....with cars!?!  Oh my!  I may have a heart attack just reading about it.

Tara - that was naughty.

I had very few spankings in my life but one of them was reminiscent of your "adventure".........a friend and I walking far down a beach at sunset and Mama not knowing where we were and when she found us (playing on a big conveyor belt that had to do with collecting sand) she was huffing and puffing and crying.  She spanked me, sent my friend home and then gave me a bath. 

Betcha Grandad doesn't let you off leash again.  :nono:

Oh, Tara, you really scared me!  Now, I know why Mama tries so hard to teach me the "Come" command.  I think its fun too to run off when I'm called.  So far, it's been in the house when I don't have a harness/leash on.  I think maybe I'll try harder cause I kinda see how dangerous it could be.  Please dont do that again.

Mum:  I'm afraid Tara is totally unrepentant.  She is incredibly proud of herself and thinks she is the cleverest paw alive.

Cato, who stayed with G&G (and the treats) thinks she made a huge fuss about nothing. He would have preferred to have had Dad or myself on the walk, but he thinks G&G are Pack, so Pack Walks are fine.

the people I was sorry for were G&G and the car drivers!  My father is 83 and had a painful knee at the time, and the little brat had him haring off after her as fast as he could.  It must have been nearly half a mile, at top speed.

not being there myself, I can only go by what I was told, but apparently at least one car had to stop when she dashed across the first road (quiet village road beside the green).  So bless that wonderful driver! Thank you!

and then when she reached the other road, crossed it and ran along it, the lovely 'pawnapper car driver' stopped, called her, she ran off again, and (wonderful man!) he crawled the car along slowly to follow her to see she was ok.  When Grandad caught up, the man was parked in front of the house, leaning out of the window.  And he told Grandad 'she went in there!'.

wasnt that kind of him?

there are some lovely people in the world.

What amazes me about the whole thing is that I might of expected this of Cato.  He is bright, with problem solving skills and a high IQ.  Can't say the same about Tara!

Yet I have clearly been underestimating her.  Independent thought.  Navigating skills (G&G took a route she has only ever seen twice before, 6 weeks earlier!).  Determination.  Distrust of strange drivers...

when I told a friend about it, her response was, 'Well Tara obviously belongs to the Think Fast, Play Dumb school of thought.'

I thought it was a perfect description!

(and yes, next time there's a G&G Pack Walk, it will be leads ON all the way!)

Oh my gosh Tara I was holding my breath the whole story, soooo glad you are ok and so is grandad. I'm glad you didn't go to strangers but you really need to look both ways and wait for cars before you cross the road sweetie. This was so scary, such nice drivers and that last guy was a prince to make sure you got home ok. Please be more careful sweetie. But I must say you are very clever to have found your way home to grans, good job on that sweetie! Oh and on outrunning the cars... I tried that when I was a kid and still have the scars on my knees to prove it.. I didn't do as good as you! ;)

OMG how scary. I mean really Tara... I glad there was a lot of finger waving and human yapping, please don't do that again as you've worried all your Aunties silly. I too jumped to the end to make sure that you was ok. 

But it is your mischievous side that we do love very much ❤️

Glad you're ok.
