Why it's important to LISTEN to your mother....

Diesel, being the "boy" that he is, decides the other day to not listen to me. Everytime I called him he would run from me. Everytime I would try and go get him he would run away from me. Being at the new place I'm afraid of him going up to the road, the roads near us in Santo were so vacant that if a car was to drive by they would always stop to talk to him. This road now is a busy FM road and Diesel has no respect for the cars driving by because he assumes they are all his "friends". I do worry about him getting hit...but I KNOW he would total the car that hits him...so hopefully they will be smart enough to slow down...or stop...maybe!

Anyways...our neighbors have a dog in heat right now so that's where he bolts anytime the door is open. I had caught him up there earlier in the day and proceeded to beat him with a washing machine hose while dragging him back to the house (thinking surely he will listen to me now). Now some of you are probably set back because I said "beat him"...but you need to take into consideration that he is 175 + I'm not, he's very stubborn and fearless, and the fact that I have jumped out of a moving vehicle to save this dog when he fell out of the back of the truck, and I have stepped in between him and Royce when Royce was going to hit him with a broom. So there certainly isn't a lack of love for this animal I can assure you...just simply trying to get my point across.

SOOO. I opened the back door to put something outside and he ran over me getting out the door. (clearly he's not thinking with his REAL brain). To make a long story short Royce and I looked for him for 2 1/2 hours. If the punk is smart enough to hide when we are around, then surely he is smart enough to remember he just got beat for running away....but then again maybe he's smart in knowing if he comes back he WILL get another beating!

Finally after 2 1/2 hours and it being pitch black I finally get him (he was hiding himself in the tall grass....sucker!) However...during his rage of insanity he managed somehow to do something to his eye. Not sure what happened but this is why YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER DIESEL.
