Or one decides to inspect the basement and gets left down there ...
Or da KAT decides to check a closet or the bathroom linen closet
... (he's spent whole DAYS trapped in a closet!)

But the worst Lost Pet Incidents are when they're really NOT lost ...
The Three Amigos usually dash OUT the door together for an Outie ...
Returns often require three seperate Openings and / or repeated Callings & Openings
to effect a full recovery of the Herd ...
BUT - I've beeen know to goof up the "count" when I'm <looking> out into the yard
and don't notice one or two of the Mutts were standing AT the door and
<barged in> as soon as the door cracked open.

I've been know to <HOLLER> out into the wilderness for X, Y, or Z
(when I just KNOW they're still out there) ...
only to turn around and notice X, Y, and Z are ALL sitting in the hallway
<watching> their Dumm Dad make a fool out of himself!

Smokey is even worse when I think HE's the missing Mutt ... He'll go hop onto
the BigBed and go to SLEEP whilst I'm <hollerin> his name out the front door!
