The last week or so, Jasper has been a little...tardy with his recall. Fine, adolescence etc etc. Except today, he not only refused to come back (and swam in circles in the middle of a lake so I physically couldn't retrieve him), but he also took himself home when I tried walking off so that he'd follow me. Except he didn't. He took an alternate route back to my house. Luckily, no major roads crossed or any harm done. But it scared the absolute shit out of me. He is not food motivated when we're out and about, at all, and has always danced just out of reach when it comes to lead attaching time, but this is something else. He usually gives in with a bit of coaxing. It seems that now, though, he just won't come back. He kept dashing past me at great speed like a bull at a bullfighter, but I couldn't grab him. The builders cheered when I came around the corner and the devil dog pup was sunbathing on the front door step. Bloody, buggering hell

The doghouse
So, I just ordered a long line. Before I kill him.
