We used to have real problem with our middle dog Sazume digging under the fence and leaving the yard. However, it has been almost a year since she last did that and I was actually trusting her. And really she had shown that she was worthy of such trust. Last week, we went to work and accidentally left her crate door and the doggie door to the outside open. We came home and Sazume had been a good girl while we were gone. I was so proud of how good she had been lately. But tonight, she disappointed me.

I am truly so surprised she did it. Not only because she had been so good lately, but because she is a big chicken about the dark. She normally doesn’t even like to go outside with David after dark (although she had finally gotten to where she would go on a walk, for awhile she wouldn’t even do that).

Sazume is back home safe and sound. But I am so disappointed in her. And when I think about what could have happened to her running around at night. She’s almost pure white, but still the thought of what could have happened to her makes me want to cry.

Now, I am back to not trusting her. It makes me sad, but I don’t have another choice. It’ll be a long time, if ever, before I trust her again. :O(
