The other day we were on a hike with our dog on-leash and a little kid asked “is that dog your prisoner?” and it’s all I’ve been able think about since

1. Kids ask great questions!

I had "free range dogs" growing up in the boondocks. You can't get away with that in urban areas.

2. If your dog comes back to you when off leash, there is no way they are prisoners.

The morning after I adopted my then six-month-old Aussie-Border Collie she burst past me to chase a rabbit in the wee morning and pitch-dark. Into the wetland field nearby she bounded, but no way I could catch up to her. So I was left crying my eyes out in the middle of the field thinking she'd never be found or return.

Well, 10 minutes later, here she comes and she's scarcely left my side since. If there is a prisoner in this relationship, it is ME to HER.

3. We live with a Siberian Husky.

At times I feel like a prisoner.
