Hi, my name is Darwin and I'm a bad girl.
My parents thought since I didn't have a play date today, that a night out at Jabu's would be a fun treat for me.  We had a short play session down in the garage to get some craziness out of me and then walked there from home.  Even though it was super cold out and I haven't been listening well, I did a really good job walking nicely to the bar even passing strangers and other dogs.  When we got there I was pretty excited cause Robin and BB were there, and my bff, Friday.  I was pretty crazy for a bit but soon I was calm enough to not be too obnoxious.  
After everyone else had eaten they decided to play games on this little table (Ms. Pacman, Jason's favorite).  Then this handsome little 5 year old golden came in (off leash!)and Friday and I were in LOVE.  He really looked like Maxdog of South Africa but I knew it couldn't be him since he lived so far away.  The people working at the bar said Friday and I could be off leash with him as long as we were well behaved.  Friday was the most playful I've ever seen her, and I was my usual goofy gal, trying to get his attention.  He didn't pay much attention to either of us, but was happy to get pets from Mom and Robin.  
After a bit it was time for us to leave, and we didn't realize the door was left open, so as soon as Dad put my coat on I dashed outside to say bye to Friday before Mom or Dad got to put my leash on.  Dad ran out after me and I thought we were playing chase so I ran across the street!  Robin and BB and Dad and Mom were out there yelling at me to come and to stop and I was thinking "woo hoo!  Look at me hiding on the opposite side of the street!"  Dad ran over and soon BB and Mom were there too...Dad ran up to me so I ran towards Mom thinking I could out-manuever her to get away (as cars were coming from down the street), but I forgot Mom was smart and put the pinch collar on me before we left the house!  Out smarted again (I'd shake a fist at her if I could)!  Mom quickly grabbed me, and managed to grab just enough skin and collar to pinch and I yelped in pain and stopped in my tracks.  She put my leash on me and her and Dad both scolded me, and though I don't know exactly what I did I knew I was in BIG trouble.  Mom crossed the street to say bye to our friends, and shortly after Dad and I joined them.  As we started walking home Mom said SHE wanted to hold my leash and I knew for sure a cute face wasn't going to get me out of this one.  We walked home and I tried to be on my best behavior... walking at their side, no pulling and hardly any stopping to sniff around.  No no, I know, when Mom gets this upset with me, I better watch out.  
Hopefully I remember this in the morning and she forgets that I was a really BAD girl....
