[nagdu] going off leash

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

*Do not* take the leash off again. She has done it once, and she knows that 
she can get away with it. As others have suggested, move her around some. 
Lexia does not take ten minutes, but I can definitely tell the difference in 
when she is searching for a spot, just smelling for the sake of it, and 
staring off into space. Also, how did you know that Princess went when you 
took her leash off?
