My girls gave me a big scare last Friday morning. My husband accidently left the gate to our yard open & they escaped to the big world beyond. He went out to the street calling them with cookies in hand, but with no response. He came in to get me to help. By the time I got to the back door, Molly had already returned. I think it dawned on her that she might miss a meal. Food is her number one priority.

We let her in & both hit the street to look for Bonnie. It was still dark outside so searching was difficult. We relied on a flashlight & calling her name. A pickup truck kept driving by which I found unusual especially at this time of day(5:30 am). My mind immediately went to a bad place & began to think that she had been dog napped to be sold to a lab for research. On the verge of panic, I returned to the house to get the truck & start driving around.

By this time, the pickup truck had parked across the street & my husband was talking to the driver who turned out to be a neighbor looking for another neighbor's house & he couldn't remember which house it was. All of a sudden, I heard my husband calling Bonnie & she flew across the street towards our house. The driver of the truck told my husband that she was sitting on our neighbor's porch when he drove up.

I guess she was watching us go up & down the street calling her & she just wasn't ready to come in yet. She likes to "patrol" her area & I guess this was a new perspective for her. I was relieved to find her & somewhat mad at her too!

Scary... I'm glad you get her back! Our dog was not overly enthusiastic either, when she was told to come. We used a lot of cheese treats and a flexie lead to build up a reliable off leash come. It took us about two months inside and outsite before it happened. ;)
