Can I Get a Do-Over?

Don't let the face fool you!

Picture it. Auburn. 2011.  A young woman dressed in professional attire (black slacks, sweater w/ collared shirt underneath) takes her two dogs out for their morning bathroom break.  The neighbor "Crazy Mary" has several outside cats. On the way back inside, one dog, the brown one, sees a cat and decides to chase it.  With all his might he pulled against the leash, which slips from the young woman's hands.  She immediately runs after the dog, calling his name… to no avail.  The dog has his sights on that cat, and he WILL get it.  The dog chases the cat into and through the woods.  Now this young woman is not the outdoorsy type, and refuses to go INTO the woods. She runs along the edges, calling for the little brown dog.  The cat was able to out-run the dog, perhaps running up a tree.  But the brown dog found other things to keep his attention-- a box to play with, and poop that he needed to get out.  He eventually saw the young woman and the other dog standing on the side of the woods and ran back to them.  The young woman let out as many profane words as she could think of, and took the dogs back inside so she could start her day.  And that folks, is how you start a Tuesday.  Have a good week!
