Oliver ventured out for the first time on a leash. He was a bit wary but I think he found it interesting. So far so good then.....
When he decided to go indoors, I put the handle of the extendable lead down for a second whilst I closed the door. Oliver ran towards the kitchen but the handle got stuck under a door. He pulled and it pinged from the door after him. Our little Cavalier got mixed up in this so Oliver and Honey both panicked and went flying into the kitchen with Honey overturning the litter tray en route. The tray upturned with Honey underneath full of litter and unpleasant things. Oliver tried to jump up onto the side, missed his footing and fell off. It all made lots of banging and crashing noises throughout.
So, all in all a great introduction to a leash. They've both calmed down now. I hope it hasn't put him off! I'm an idiot.
Please forgive the scruffy winter garden and manky flagstones. I will get the spade and power wash out soon.
