unbridled spirit

Big full moon on Friday and four inches of snow on Saturday, so busy weekend for Zorro. It was bitterly cold in WV but beautiful and Zorro got a lot of exercise.
This morning, Denny was headed up the hill with him when he realized that Zorro's leash was no longer attached to his chest harness. It took a minute for Zorro to realize he was untethered, but when Denny said, "Come here," he raced up the hill.
Luckily, he stopped at the top to eat some snow and Denny was able to leash him. If I thought he would always run ahead and wait for us, I'd be comfortable letting him run off-leash. But I'm not sure the outcome would have been the same this morning if there had been deer or other dogs around.
