We got out today

But we came back when Mama called us. She said we were good for coming back, not so good for escaping.
Yep. Doorbell rings this morning, then there is knocking and it rang again, I get there and I find my neighbor standing there, she says my dogs are out. I look out and there they are running down the block across the street from our house. I just called to them, clapped my hands a couple of times and Firesong turned around and came right back to me, Dreamdancer took a bit longer, but I didn't have to do anything other than walk down the stairs and open the door for them. I was really glad. This is the first time they have ever gotten competly loose like that, and finding out that they will come back is so great!
And no, I've never made a game out of them coming to me, only always been firm about it, been calm and persistent. Now I have to go figure out where they escaped from. I think it's the place where the ground has sunk down from the edge of the fencing from all the rain.
