<p>Hey Melissa, I am so glad you were able to find him. It is very unsettling when they are loose. My Kirby recently slipped his collar on a morning walk. I don't even know how it happened--one second, he's walking next to me, the next second, he had discovered his freedom and I was left standing with an empty collar at the end of the leash. I didn't even feel him pull away. The little stinker ran from me, and of course I followed (which I know is the wrong thing to do, but going in the…</p>
<p>Hey Melissa, I am so glad you were able to find him. It is very unsettling when they are loose. My Kirby recently slipped his collar on a morning walk. I don't even know how it happened--one second, he's walking next to me, the next second, he had discovered his freedom and I was left standing with an empty collar at the end of the leash. I didn't even feel him pull away. The little stinker ran from me, and of course I followed (which I know is the wrong thing to do, but going in the opposite direction seemed even more wrong to me), so he kept running back to his sister and teasing her, and then dashing out of reach again. Meanwhile, I am trudging through my neighbors yards, two excited dogs in tow, yelling for Kirby, at about 6:15 in the morning. I finally made the decision to take the other dogs home and hope for the best that Kirby would be somewhere close to where I last saw him when I got back. He then decided that it was no fun being alone, and he started to follow us. So, as he followed, I then began to run with the other dogs and called to Kirby as he was following us. Luckily, he ran right in to the house with us. </p> I sure like my modified Marti…tag:mycorgi.com,2012-07-23:1150197:Comment:15865842012-07-23T16:56:03.082ZJohn Wolffhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/JohnWolff92

<p>Glad you're safe, Kirb.</p>

<p>I won't walk Shippo without a martingale collar anymore, because he has spooked in the past and backed out of a regular collar - it happened once next to a busy street! O=</p>

<p>Yes he is microchipped luckily. I was so worried because he didn't have his collar on. Luckily my old neighborhood is basically just riverfront and he'd have to try VERY hard to get into the street so I wasn't at all worried about him getting hit. I was really worried that he had some how not made it up the bank and was stuck either IN the river or on a rock or tree somewhere and couldn't get out. It was such an out of nature behavior for either of my dogs I had no idea how to respond to it!…</p>

The vet I work at is the only 24 hour vet in the area so I knew if anybody found him they would take him their to get scanned and at work they would know he was mine. But still I was so worried he had drowned or something awful like that.</p> I am so glad you found him ag…tag:mycorgi.com,2012-07-23:1150197:Comment:15864122012-07-23T13:16:35.062ZCindi & Twinkiehttp://mycorgi.com/profile/CindiStanesic

<p>I'm glad you found him. I would have been crazy anxious if it happened to me. Do you have Kirby microchipped?</p>
