But "ONLY" Half an Hour?
Try about 8 Hours - overnight!

Of all my FurKids, RB Shadow pulled one of the *worst*
vanishing stunts...

She "Took a Hike" with her lil mini-Lab Buddie, who lived with
the horse people, one night...
If the lil Lab missed getting home before curfew,
she was "out" for the night.
I didn't know the Lab was "out" when I let Shadow out for her
bed-time outie... and *OFF* they went!

I found the Lab on MY front porch about 2 AM - but NO Shadow!
Drove around for hours calling her name out the car windows.

She crossed a very busy highway and finally sought refuge on a
back porch over a MILE from home!
I got the "are you missing a dog" call about 7:30 AM...

"Scary" doesn't do those situations justice!

I always hope God doesn't "take notes" when these thing happen...
I prolly "promise Him" things I can't follow through on!

PS: Thanks, God!!
