Max get tangled up

Max and I were outside on this nice fall day just sitting in our gazebo and enjoying the day. Max was on his leash and wandering about sniffing here and there. He constantly looks for Mr. Toad, and since he lives under our patio, Max knows he is somewhere close. Max wandered about the outside of his exercise area and got his leash tangled with two metal dog statues which we bought at an arts and crafts show in Omaha several years ago. This scared Max, and he took off around his exercise yard dragging the statues. He realized that THEY were following him and that made him even more scared. I quickly got up and tried to stop Max from running away and finally untangled the leash from the statues. Max was very relieved that they were no longer following and quickly went back to the gazebo but did not want to go anywhere near the statues. The whole thing seemed very funny when I related the incident to HW2. Poor Max. Happy travels.
