Hi robin!

*whew* glad to hear you found her so quickly. I think all of us at one time or another have experienced the sense of panic of one of ours getting loose. A couple of months ago, I was running around the neighborhood like a lunatic looking for Murph and it turned out my Mom had let him in the house, without me knowing.

Normally I probably would have looked in the house first, but just 5 mins previous, the gate had been left unlatched. I turned to tell Gull to stop barking at a neighbor walking along the fenceline, to see nothing but his body. Rest of his head was sticking through the opening in the gate, but he never attempted to actually leave the backyard. Luck be a Collie for me in that situation. I'm sure if I had a husky, I'd have been scouring the neighborhood too.

Anyway none of us are perfect, so don't beat yourself up over it. She's home now so that's all that matters.
