Riley and Avery

So, Shauna's dog got out yesterday. We all watched as he ran straight out of the complex and to the right. We had no idea where he went. There are tons of side streets and other housing developments to the right of ours. So, I took Lola out and said "Let's find Gemini!" and she put her nose to the ground, went straight out of the complex and to the right. She turned into the condo development next to ours and kept going. As we were back in there, we see the neighbor's husband coming out, saying that he couldn't find Gemini in there. I said I'd keep looking, it's a huge place. After walking nearly all the way through the development, Lola spotted Gemini and he came running (Gemini and Lola are buddies). They stiffed each other, jumped on each other, and then Gemini got hip to the whole thing and took off again. He would not come to me, Lola kept running after him (which meant I had to run LOL). He left the condo development through the back and onto the sidewalk. Finally, he went into the gated apartment community that surrounds us and Lola was able to corner him and I scooped him up. Dude, he had us on the run all over the place! I was sooooo out of breath and sweating, and I have bronchitis, so that wasn't fun. I carried Gemini until I thought I'd collapse, and then I got the brilliant idea to thread Lola's leash through his collar and walk them both. Duh.

The apartment complex we found ourselves in was HUGE! I never knew it was so big, and with a layout like Washington D.C. Roads all over the place with no rhyme or reason. I thought I'd never get out. I had to ask a woman how to get out. Finally, I get onto the street sidewalk, and start walking towards home from the left. I see Shauna walking in the other direction, the direction that Gemini originally went in. I shouted as loud as I could, and she finally heard me and turned around and saw that I had Gemini. Yay, Lola!
