very true...
I know the Baynet has run stories on several lost dogs in the past! I also hear them on the radio a few times a month.
I'm glad she ran away for the night actually. I haven't loved an animal since I was a kid. I did not think I even cared about her really. I thought that I'd be fine if I never had a dog again. I got her because the kids were begging for a dog. I was wrong. When she became missing I was franctic. Now, she's truly my best friend. I love her so very much and would be devestated if something happened to her.
She's gotten out of the fence before but has always made her way home within 15 minutes or I've chased her down the street and gotten her little butt. A few neighbors have brought her home to me. I filled every hole, closed every tiny gap in the fence, and put her out for smaller amounts of time. Yet, she still managed to find her way out. My immediate neighbor told me that she watched her climb over the fence!
I thought for sure that she was knocked up. Again, I was wrong. She went into heat a month or so later. I kept my eye on her and she did not get out. I thought that was that. She was not going to get knocked up and I would make an appointment to get her fixed. Again, I was wrong. Neighbor's dog hopped my fence and knocked her up. Four puppies later, she has an appointment to get fixed in 2 weeks.
