The Great Escape (well, almost)
I am just getting around to adding this little story about the Great Escape (well, almost). We arrived in Barkerville and set up our rig. Puttins was loose inside. She has never tried to escape but there she was, waiting innocently at the door for us to come inside. As soon as I opened the screen door, she shot out like a flash and raced off under the rig to the other side. I ran around and saw her at the same time she saw me. I called her and she started to come towards me. I slowly went towards her until I was almost within grabbing distance. That’s when she turned and ran again.
I threw myself at her and managed to grab her tail with my broken left wrist/hand. Man did that hurt but there is no way I was going to let go. I grabbed her back leg with my good hand and scooped her up, hugging her tightly as she was scratching and trying to get loose. I rushed to the trailer and threw her back inside. Whew! Was that a close one.
Now we put her in the bedroom and close the door whenever we go in and out. No point in taking any more chances.
