Chilling Consequences

The only time Mom likes to say, "Bad Dog," 

is when she is telling someone about this 

yummy mustard from Northern Michigan.

I got in trouble today.

Have you ever just wanted to run away?

Have some time to yourself?

Make a quick get away?

Take a daring adventure?

Well I did!

 There's this patch of brambly woods beside our house and sometimes, 

when the human in charge of me is not watching, 

I dash into this haven of deer droppings.

I have to admit, it's more comfortable in milder weather.

(19 degrees is chilly for this short haired pup.)

I like the way the scrub trees and bushes are all tangled 

and humans can't follow me!

I was really far away from home!

On a path less traveled. 

I wish I could say it all worked out for the best

but after a two hour Time Out in my crate 

I think I would rather take a shower than be in trouble.

And you can see how much I like bathing...

Have you ever made a choice that seemed exciting 

but then had some chilling consequences 

or created some regrets?

Take a moment to PAWS and remember a bad choice 

and then be grateful you learned a new trick!
