Shais Mom,
I am so sympathetic...I know that Honey would take off if she had the opportunity. It is a total insecurity with my girl. I rearranged some furniture this morning and she refused to go outside through the door where I moved the furniture. It is so sad! that poor, pitiful thing is scared of everything. I think, at this point, that we can't take it personally. There is something in the personalities of these dogs that we didn't have anything to do with. Honey has been with me since she was 6 weeks old. She is frightened of anything unusual. I think all you can do is do everything you can to protect your dog from escaping. Beyond that, make sure she is well identified. What else can you do?
Good luck to both of you.
