Living La Vida Loca

Mona, my dog has gone to the wild side and is living la vida loca, as my co-worker has creatively put it. She has been sighted playing with other dogs in people's yards and looking through windows at cats. Apparently she is no hurry to want to come, she got lucky that the weather turned and it's still a bearable tempurature. The big problem is that she's being spotted fairly regularly but runs when people approach her. How to catch her? P.S. I got the new stove today, it's a Frigidaire!
