I am so glad that Nebo came back to you and you didn`t lose that precious pup. Good boy Nebo!
I have to say that is my worst fear, that Bob will someday break loose, I know if he did he would be away so fast, looking for new adventures and fun Trouble is that where I live there are a number of busy roads that he could very easily stray onto, plus it is a big estate and I would be very lucky if I was able to track him down. He is ALWAYS kept on the leash, a flexi and a harness for field walking so he has some sort of freedom, and a head collar and regular leash for street walking. I take the harness off when we get home, we have this little routine of `one paw, two paws` to take it off and put it on. lol. The back of my house is ok, there is a fence and bushes so he`s okay out there and the front has a fence too but one he could jump if he took a mind to so I always go out with him. I do tend to get paranoid about gates being closed though!
