Lately, Mason has been perfecting his skills as an escape artist. I first noticed this yesterday. We were in Petsmart getting him a new collar. I had put it over his head, and was adjusting it to see if it fit him. Then, I hooked his leash to it, to make sure the weight of the leash didnt affect its ability to give a good corection. I've learned in the past that if a collar is light weight, the leash can sometimes make it tighten before you give a corection. Anyway, once I was done adjusting it, I unclipped Mason's leash and took the collar off. However, I'd neglected to reclip the leash to his old collar, and he made a break for it. Luckily, I caught him before he got too far.
His second try took place this morning at my beep baseball game. I'd leashed him to the bench, and was out on the field batting. I came back to discover that Mason had managed to break his leash. I guess he figured he would get to play ball with us, but all he got was more close supervision from the people sitting in the stands. However, he didnt seem to mind. I guess he's been going through this phase lately to remind me how unpredictable and exciting life with a dog guide can be, and how careful I need to be about not making a slip up. After all, if that were to happen in a certain setting, it could make things pretty dangerous for everyone involved.
