The chase didn't go that far. My crew made it unracketed to the car, and her crew got their quiet spot back. "Get out! Get out! This place is ours. It was ours for a long time before the dog people came! Before people like you came! You! You! You!" I could have screamed back about all my life sucking things. Assault weapons! The tech people moving in from over the hill tanking our housing market into a bottomless pit of unaffordability! USDAA eliminated my jump height and now Banksy has to jump really high! Recyclables thrown in the garbage! Play with your dog! She had an entourage though, and we were seriously outnumbered. I kept my trap shut, and indicated to my dogs that they should run. Now. Bonus training tip: Fast running is a great way to stay in shape for better agility handling, so practice it often. Step Ten: Keep practicing. Don't give up, those entrances are hard and you just need to keep at them. We'll be back tomorrow. Possibly trying that lawn in front of the biotech building across the street, or the soccer field at the abandoned elementary, relinquishing our old favorite field for a while. Bonus training tip: Cars and weave poles are a privilege; maybe leave some quiet space for those without. Peace.
