| Happy Ending story! I don't think I REALLY realized how lucky I was! All these stories where these little dogs get out of the house or yard and are never found again... I wanted to share what happened to me last Oct. I live in NH and my little brother just moved (with the military) to VA after being in CA for 6 years! My other brother who lives near me & I decided to drive down to visit on a long weekend. Since it was a last minute decision we took our dogs. I have 2 Yorkie boys and he has a pit/lab mix! My little bro lived in a townhouse in a complex. Well the next night someone opened a door to the outside and my dog go out of the house. I didnt know, I was sleeping. About 7am some woman is banging on the door! I look up and there she is holding my dog outside. I thought I was dreaming, I thought they were both sleeping beside me under the covers, but only 1 was!! He had NO tags on because they were on his harness and he does not sleep with that on. She said I was lucky she happened to catch sight of the dogs with us once during the day and knew where he belonged! He was under a car when she found him and it was POURING out! He seemed to have no clue that he was in danger or anything! He was about 1 year 1 month old at the time. I was soooo upset, crying and screaming at everyone for opening the door and why would they do that.... I just cannot believe HOW LUCKY I am to have them both still today! If he ran away in VA and I had to go home I would have been a MESS!! An unfunctioning mess! I would not have been able to go home until I found him! Needless to say I did not have the scare that some of you have had bc I had no clue he was gone, but when I got him back I was soooo upset and scared at what COULD have happened! I keep such a close eye on my pups and only sleep in a room where I can close the door and close them in with me! No more chances like that again!!

| Oh me too!! I would have been beyond devastated if something happened to him. If I lost him. I had a 5 month old yorkie die (my first yorkie) in Sept 05. It was horrible for me! Like put me on meds horrible... I have not forgotten or recovered from that loss (it was the last straw for me at that point in my life) and I wouldnt have survived another puppy loss! My boys are my life, they make me so happy every single day!! I am going on vacation in 2 weeks and Im ALREADY having anxiety & dread about leaving them! My boyfriend it taking them for a week and I think he loves them almost as much as I do! He is sooooo good with them and he knows that Id lose it if something happened to one of them so hes extra cautious (he knows my fear due to my other pup dying) but still... nothing like knowing they are safe & sound IN my house! Plus a week of not having their little bodies next to me at night... MAN... I cant think about it yet.. It really does make me get teary eyed! haha

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | oh wow that's so sad about your other little yorkie.. I know I'd have needed medication too ...good luck with your trip. I was the same way when my son got married and my girls missed me terribly - but when I got home all was back to normal though they still have issues with me going out the door now....it was pretty traumatizing for them - I did them no favors letting them be so dependent on me....Its good that your boyfriend will be taking good care of them |

| I agree that Im doing no favors to them by letting them be so dependant on me too!! When I got them, I needed them WAYYY more than they needed me! I was going through a break up from my fiance of 10 years, I just sold my house that we bought together and bought my own house. having never lived alone in my life and being a very outgoing person I was lonely! I got my boys and depended solely on them for company and some relief from my sadness. Now they are very needy, clingy and dependant on me! I wish I didnt do that to them, but whats done is done! I adore them and I don't mind that they need me, but I feel bad leaving them for a week! I know my little one will be just fine, he forgets about me after 10 mins! But my bigger boy is a little OCD. Hes neurotic and paces when Im gone. he will not take it well at all! My bf will be out of his mind for the first day at least! HAHAHAHA
