The Dogs Go for A Walk

Kim and Kris thought that if they took the dogs for regular walks, that maybe Duffy would not try to dig his way out under the chain link fence. They got out two leashes and hooked up Duffy and MacGregor, who were excited to go somewhere. As soon as they got out the backyard fence, something strange happened. Duffy was ready to go and pulled hard on his leash to get Kim to go too, but MacGregor was an altogether different story. He was scared and did not want to leave the safety of his back yard. He planted his feet and would not move. Kris tried to drag him a bit and see if he would get the idea, but he quickly sat down in the flower bed and refused to move. He could see Duffy and Kim ready to go on a walk but would not budge.

The girls finally decided not to try to leave the grounds and just waited and finally MacGregor decided it would be all right to catch up with Duffy, but he was still afraid, and his body would not stop shaking. After a short time the girls took the dogs back to the fenced in back yard and unhooked the dogs from their leashes. Both of the dogs then ran madly around and around until they tired and flopped down in the grass. The girls were determined to try to take the dogs out for walks and decided they would try again tomorrow.
