OMG how sad for her. K9soul, right she shouldn't blame herself for this. She could not have know that someone could be that stupid to leave the gate open. You should be able to have some trust in people common sense to close a gate, it's like leaving a door open to your house, you just don't do it!!

I went through this with Tuffy once, the meter reader lady left our gate open and Tuffy took off down the lane. Thanks goodness all he did was play in some trash and bring back a surprize for us. I was so anger at the meter lady that I called and raised he&#, now there is a lock on the gate and a reminder note for people to close the gate. I also got a new meter reader out of the deal, I think she was afraid to come back and face me. (as she should be)

Rest In Peace, Mabel
