Oh My Gosh, Denyce!!! You had me laughing so hard. You sound like my kind of girl...lol. I can just picture you running around, no bra, trying to catch up to that girl of yours. Sounds just like me! Thankfully I did have my bra on yesterday or I would have really scared some people...LOL. Poor rooster though!
I'm so glad Sequoia is home and safe now. I would love it if you posted some pics of her. She is such a pretty girl!
Robin :)
Just make sure you deliver them at a decent hour! ;) Val posted a story about some lady who got upset because some "do gooders" delivered Valentine Cookies to her home at 10:30 in the evening and ended up suing them!!!! :eek:Quote:
I am going to make some chocolate chip cookies this evening and I think I will take some to the woman who hung on to Tori for me and the guy with the bolonga. I need to say a proper thank you to them. I did give them a quick thank you, but I was so frantic at the time that all I could think about was getting Tori home.
So glad Tori is home with you now, Robin!!!! I would have been scared to death. My Honey and Zipper would take off in a heartbeat!!!!!
*L* Thanks RobiLee....I was hoping my story would bring a chuckle. It is funny how at the time these things don't seem amusing but when we look back at ourselves and how we must have looked you can't help but laugh.
I do have bunches of pics of her on memory cards I have just been too busy to get them uploaded to the computer. Between her antics and the five cats they keep me hopping in the evenings! :D
Denyce
Oh Denyce! I don't mind exercise but phew! *laughs*
I can so relate to Diana about being in the car with the window rolled down. :D That happened the 3rd time Kia took off. It's already dark out and I'm crawling down the road with my window down, hollaring her name. I put in park along side the road and not 2 minutes afterwards, a herd of deer go barrelling by. :eek: So I of course assume Kia is at the end of this.....but nope... no pup. :rolleyes:
I drive home and she's sitting on the front porch. :p
The first time she took off, we were at Andy's parents. She was heading towards a busy intersection and the closer I got to her, the closer she'd get to the road. Andy appeared with bologna and she thankfully ran straight to him. :)
The second time she took off was when my parents were watching her. My dad went to move her from the kennel to the house and she bolted. She's flying thru the cornfields and dad's trying to keep up with his truck. When she dissapeared in the woods, he went home, left a note for mom, and went to work.
Mom gets home about a half hour later and finds a burr-filled, muddy dog panting heavily and happily :rolleyes: on the deck.
Oh Robin.. I'm just seeing this... WHEW!!! I know the feeling when you get them home!! I don't know if you remember when both of mine ran away. They were gone for 20 HOURS!!!!!
OMG!! Talk about making promises!!!!:o
TO make it worse... it was winter and the night they slept outside it went down to 9!!:eek:
It turned out they went a few miles and stopped, they just hung around a few houses. Neither of them would let people near them, but a little girl in the neighborhood spotted their pictures in the post office the next day and called me!!! Talk about Hugging them till there faces turned blue!!!:D I thought I would not be able to go on with out them. That has GOT to be the worst feeling in the world!
Robin, I'm so glad she wasn't gone for long! Hell, 30 seconds of not knowing where your dog is at is to long!!
:D
Glad she's safe and sound home where she belongs!!!
*~HUGS~* to you both!!
Thank God your baby is home, safe and sound Robin!!!:eek: What a scare and I don't blame you at all for being so shaken. We all know that sick feeling and indescribable fear you were feeling but you know, it happens to ALL of us at least once, as you've read here!!! You're not alone:) For me, it's happened twice when someone came to the house, entered the fenced in back yard through the gate and didn't close it completely:( I come home and merrily let the girls out. A while passes and all is quiet...something's wrong, NO PUPS! Thankfully there are woods behind my house so that's where they naturallly head. But it was sometime, heart pounding time, driving around screaming their names, before I found them. Lucky for me they LOVE the car so when I found them, all I needed to say was "C'mon girls, let's have LUNCH" and they were in! Don't blame yourself, Robin. It can happen to the best of us! I'm so glad you have caring neighbors that were willing to help. Bring on the cookies!:D Hugs to the puppers and say Hi! to Alden:)
I know how that feels. Nino gets out at least once a month. He knows the neighborhood very well and always comes back, but what scares me is I have seen him just run across the street in front of cars with no regard to them what so ever!
Robin, I was so relieved when I talked to you Sunday and you said that Tori was alright. I had just happened to log on to PT and seen your thread and then seen you on MSN. What a scare it gave me! I don't know what I'd do if something happened to my sweet little niece Tori!
Tori, you better be good and stop trying to sneak past mom like that girl, you don't want to give your poor mom a heart attack!
I'm just glad that you let the neighbors hold you until mom found you, what a good girl you were:)
And like I told you Robin, I did the same thing once before. It happens to the best of us:p
I was telling my hubby about Tori, and how so many siberians take off, and he said "well Star never does" at which time I reminded him of the time HE left the garage wide open and she was gone for close to an hour before we even noticed!!! and reminded him that I met the neighbor 1/4 mile way because Star ran off through the cornfield and treed all her cats!!! This nice lady pulled up into our driveway and introduced herself and said "do you have a big beautiful dog that's missing?" There were a couple other times, too. Since they've all had happy endings, they do seem funny now. Glad you had a happy ending , too!:)
