First hike with Lock

Everything was going well until lock decides he needs to relieve himself in our car on the way to the park. The park is no more than 5 to 10 mins from our house. Not only did he pee he also took an nice huge crap! We got it all cleaned up and we were ready for the hike. Halo Lock's friend went with us along with Jacob and Satako. We were taking our relaxing walk through the woods with dogs following and trailing behind us when all of a sudden Lock took off....he was gone and all we could hear were his faint howl barks getting farther and farther away. We all took off in different directions to try and retrieve him. Erik, Jacob and Halo went through the brush while Satako, Elijah and I walked back the trail the way we started. Erik was the Hero and found lock all muddy and wet. Take two........Finally all of us met up again and finished our walk.
We got home and promptly gave the dogs a bath.
