maybe he is getting old... and just got tired.This dog... in the doghouse literally and figuratively. Got about 3 miles out and took a trail that loops back around...ran another mile...hmmm haven't seen Zoom in a while. I called and called - thought he might be ahead so ran a bit farther... no dog. Turned around, ran back.. no dog prints in any soft dirt. Went back the way I came and started seeing dog prints heading back to the car. Just as I started up the last hill this thing comes barreling down towards me. In 7+ years of running with him, he's never pulled anything like this.

The first dog spouse and I had together... when he got tired he just headed for the car. Straight as an arrow. When he was done , he was done.
