Peanut and CJ are not afraid of the outside, but they are not a door dashers either. However, if the door is left open, they will end up outside, their curiosity just gets the best of them. So possibly what happened was the door was open for a little bit from Nicki, and Pouncer snuck out before you noticed the door was open. Then once outside, he may have hidden in some bushes or something so you didn't see him. This is one of my greatest fears with P & CJ because I don't think either one of them would know enough to take good care of themselves out there. Good thing Pouncer knew enough to stay close by and knew where the door was to come back in.

Naw-tee Pouncer is right!
