I'm sorry Kay that you're going through this, and that bad scare you had.

I can't say I know how you feel, because my dogs have never went missing for that long before. My RB dog, Rufus, used to get away sometimes, and woul be gone all night, but he would always come home by morning. I worried about him, but he was home the next day...and I was only very young anyway.

Have you considered maybe training or obedience? We have a trainer here who works one on one with you and your dog, and he promices results or he will give you free lessons until you're satisfied. I took Josie there for her aggression...and she passed, but seemed to fall backwards again after. I gave up with it because it upset me too much...

Maybe you could find some way to help Ki get over her fears too?

Sorry I can't think of anything supportive to say....
