The Joys of Owning Pets

So this morning I wake up to find out it's raining even though when I looked at the weather last night it showed me that it wouldn't rain until the evening time today. Oh well lol. Anyway my mother's driver had come by to take my mom to a couple of doctor's appointments that she had to go to today and they offered to give me a ride to school since my car is broke down at the moment. That was all fine and dandy but as my mom was walking out the front door her boxer/beagle mix who we named Honey Dew managed to sneak out the front door and her sister 'lil bit almost managed to sneak out as well. Now the good thing about this is that Honey will eventually come back and scratch at the front door when she has exhausted herself and is ready to come back indoors. If on the other hand her sister has gotten out it would take forever to get her back into the house again. Once she gets loose she runs forever and ever. Anyway Honey got out and I informed my sister's girlfriend that she had gotten out because the rest of us had to leave and couldn't stay to coral her. This was all fine and dandy until we started to drive away and Honey saw the car and started to chase behind it. So we stopped and tried to coax her into the car but that didn't work, then we decided to return home and she if she would follow us there. Well that sort of worked, she got near the house but wouldn't go inside yet. I went inside to get a leash and see if I could grab her but that didn't work either, since anytime I would get close to her she would dart off again. Both she and her sister love to play a cat and mouse game with us letting us get close enough to almost grab them and then dart off again. It's very frustrating sometimes. Anyway I couldn't catch her and finally just had to let her run loose and hope she went home on her own otherwise everyone was going to be late to where they needed to be. The good thing was she didn't follow us when we left this time. When I got home from classes at around 12:45pm I noticed that my sister's girlfriend Colleen had managed to convince Honey to go back into the house because she was laying on the couch when I walked in the door. The only bad thing about both Honey and 'lil bit running loose like that is that both my mom and myself are worried that one day they will run in front of some car speeding down the road and get killed like their sister did many months ago. We are just fortunate that something like that has not happened yet and we hope it never does. But with these two rambunctious dogs you never can tell though.
