mixed feelings

I spent all day complaining about the mess my little dog chip makes. Then last night he got out, he blew past me at the gate. We almost had him caught, then he decided to see how fast he can run. I thought he was a goner. I instantly drove the route we run every morning. Luckily I saw two women walking and asked them if they had seen a dog. They hadn't so I turned around and went back into my neighborhood. I found him in a yard, he took off, running right in front of cars. Then the ran up another driveway, then he took off. I saw him go into a long driveway and I tried to get him to come out with out me trespassing into someones yard. No luck I went up into their landscaping and managed to retrieve my dog. I was sad about the prospect of losing him. I am glad he made it home.
