JUst lost a few years off of my life.

Thank goodness they're safe at home! I hope you can figure out what happened or who did that. Would your dogs just let someone walk up without barking their heads off? I know mine won't.

I'm glad your pups are safe at home. I don't like tethering, be it dog or cat. Why? It puts them at a very bad disadvantage, should another animal enter your yard and start a fight. I also don't like those invisible fences for that same reason. It prevents your pets from leaving your yard, but does nothing to protect them getting hurt by other animals.

So very glad everyone is home and safe. You've probably got a few more grey hairs now.

**snakemama** · 05-30-2010, 12:18 PM

Whew! Glad everyone is returned safely!! Glad you survived the heart attack too.

Been there. Glad all the 4 leggers and the 2 legger are OK. I spot a grey hair or 2, Blue....

Donna, Invisible Fence does not prevent your animal from leaving the yard if there is an emergency. It gives the dog a mild shock, that's all.

And my family often had the dogs outside on a tether or chain of some sort. Never when we were not home, and never longer than they wanted to be, and there was always shelter or shade available. If any intruder of any sort came by, even the quietest of dogs would bark to let you know something was up, so why object to that?

I am so glad your pups are ok. I know that would have scared the Pee Turkey out of me. I had a scare once with Koko and I know that sick feeling all to well.

It really was scary feeling. I hate to think of who would let them off of the cable just to run around. But then again having them running around is better then them being stolen.

Oh goodness, I think for most of us here on PT, this is every dog owner's nightmare! Go to get the dogs in and . . . they aren't there! Prayers of thanks that you found them quickly and they were safe.

Hugs to you, takes a bit to recover from a shock like that. WOW!

Aw-Blue, just got home from the weekend and saw this! I'm so sorry it happened but glad it had a happy ending!

Could there be any possibility it came off on it's own?
