Today Milla came along for the ride to the pet store to get more crickets. This was the fun part. She seemed to enjoy it, especially sitting on the top of the seat. She clung to my hand as we went to the pet store (a local independent one) and met one of the owners. Drove home and it was fine. But when we got home I decided a quick foray outside in the grass might be good. I don't have a leash for her yet, but that will change. She sat in the box, frozen in place for awhile, so I took her out and put her on the ground by my feet. She sat there for a minute or two, cocking her head at me. And then GONE. She took off quickly but I was not too alarmed. I let her stand there for a minute and then picked her up. Well she apparently was not having any of that because she jumped out of my hands and scurried under the front steps. Oh boy. She got waaaay under the steps and sat there. I, or something else, must have scared her. Entirely my fault for not having her on a leash. Eventually I pried up one of the pieces of wood and grabbed her with my hand in the snuggle sack. She did NOT like this! I stuck her in the box and in we went. She got time out in her viv for awhile.
The lesson here is that I need to only take her out with a leash. Going to go buy one now...
