The park was dark and we were the only midnight walkers. My Dad used to unleash me in the middle of the walk but, instead of going anywhere I remained in my position between him and Mama. Sometimes he would start running so I could chase him. At this point, Mama was apprehensive that I might disappear in the woods or run towards the street. I always showed her that she could trust me because I would take off at full speed, but always came back.
One day however, I was walking in my usual place ( between Mom & Dad ) and all of a sudden I felt the urge to run to the street and started running fast towards it and when I got to she sidewalk, there was a car coming but, I just stayed in front of it for a second (just to say Hi!) and came back running up the hill where my Mom was standing absolutely scared while my Dad was still trying to catch me and leash me again. I apologized to them and I guess they forgave me but, the next time we went for a midnight walk I was on the leash the entire walk. A couple weeks passed and they decided to give me a second chance. I ran away again, breaking the circle of trust. All I could hear the whole night was: BAD BOY, Sushi, BAD BOY ! I felt so bad and depressed that I overate and cleaned my plate, just like them! They were all mad at me except my blue buddy who gave me a comforting hug.
Then I slept like an angel...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ........

Oh Sushi, that might have been a little mistake you made to run off like that. Cars are very, very dangerous! You must be careful Outside.
Poor Mommy and Daddy!!!!!
You must behave very well when going for a walk at anytime... I't's soooo dangerous to cross streets without an adult supervision... Your cousin F is just like you. Sometimes he doesn't want to hold my hand to cross the street and we always pick a quarrel anytime we leave school to go home... he thinks he's old enough and alsways tells me to trust him. But traffic in Salvador is getting crazy day by day and I do think he's too young to do it by himself. And, of course, he'll be able to cross any street alone ONE DAY!
A kiss.
Trust can involve to leash or to release. Yet, love is to trust totally, and later deal with any outcome. Sometimes, the outcome can be a clean plate. There you are, GOOD BOY, very helpful Sushi.
Oh poor Sushi! Good doggie okay? Just don't run off again cutie, your parents love u very much and they just wanna make sure you're safe! I brought you some doggie treat, enjoy! :)
Yes, Daisy it was a big mistake but I had to make it again to finally learn the lesson. Nobody wants to be called a Bad Boy.
I can imagine my cousin F telling you to trust him! He's way too young but like me, he doesn't think so. I learned my lesson now. Time is passing so fast that ONE DAY is not really far away. Have a good day Aunty!
Hey Zubli, I agree with you! I am a really helpful and good boy,err most of the time...Thanks for telling me that!
I'm fine now Marzie, recovered from my " they're telling me off" session. An imported treat is always a luxury and always welcome. Thank you !
Oh my Sushi, you really committed a fatal error of judgement didn't you. We hope you've learned from it - humans don't forget these things, so expect them not to trust you for a good long time.

Oh Sushi.. don't ever do that again ok... I know I would get upset too if my kitties misbehave...it is for your own protection so be a good boy ok...:)
Hi Abbie & Rosie, I did learn from it, I hope!
Hi LJ! I know... they were right and I was wrong... I don't think your kitties will ever cross the street without you.
