Really sorry to hear that Janis.. I hope somehow, someway he is with
someone else and is being cared for. And hopefully can and will return
back home. I may be a wuss when it comes to this, but having pets get
out of a fenced in yard and wander off has at times driven me crazy.
Almost like a kid running away. It can be nervewracking. One of my pugs,
got out a month ago. Sees a rabbit and no fence stops him. He somehow
finds away. His brother pulled a lassie and kept running back and forth
to the door until I caught on. I thought I had the fence pretty much
plugged of any crack or hole he could get through, but he still got out
somehow. Glad LoCi alerted me, as I found him just a couple yards over,
but I have no doubt that if He hadn't, Simon would have been hit by a car
or someone would have picked him up and taken him home. But the worry is
not a fun thing to go through at all. I swear my heart rate went to 180
with no exercise at all, just walking around looking and worrying got
the adrenaline flowing. But I think I told You before. I was actually
lucky, another time someone did pick him up and take him. In the
neighborhood and I saw her walking him and she hollered at me for
letting him run around. ( which I did not, he got out, was not let out )
I was so glad to see him, I just let her yell and get it off her chest
and took him home. Hopefully the cat was picked up too, and is waiting
for his chance to get out and come back home. And I know that is not much
consolation.. It is a helpless feeling.   Keep us posted..


Have a good One!
Mike
