Red the runner

Red tried to run away today... again.  I leashed her up this afternoon when I got home from work and instead of hooking around the D-ring, I hooked the flimsy ring that had her dog tag and licenses on it.  One hard tug and she was free.  The moment she realized this, she took off like a bat out of hell down the street.  I instantly dropped Egg Roll's leash (obviously not a smart thing to do, but she's never tried to make a break for it either.  She knows how good she has it here and it would take way too long to train another set of owners) and ran after Red.  The moment I realized that she wasn't going to stop for me, my heart sunk.  I was so afraid.  This is where all the running at the gym paid off.  I kept following her and yelling her name.  I was quickly running out of road (she would have made it into a wooded area that separates two condo communities, and then I really would have lost her).  Thank god she has ADD and stopped at nearly every tree/post/hydrant on the street.  I finally got close enough to yell at her and she did her cower/hunker down maneuver and I was able to leash her up properly.  Once I had her, I realized I needed to get my other dog.  I ran back down the street yelling Egg Roll's name.  Meanwhile, Red having a blast running down the road next to me in the snow.  Of course, Egg Roll is trotting down the street with her leash dragging behind her towards me.  I think I love Egg Roll a little more.  I know she'll never run away.  Red's currently in her crate right now and I don't know when I'll let her out.
