I am currently doggy sitting Ceiba's brother Ace and yesterday, I had them both in the (fenced) backyard while my sister and I were in the pool area talking. Well, I noted it was waaaay too quiet and I got up to see what those 2 were up to. I looked and looked and didn't see them. My heart just DROPPED
and I went into panic mode. I ran inside and yelled at hubby to help me look for them - that either someone stole them or they ran away!!! I ran out the front door and started yelling for them at the top of my lungs, tears coming out and everything.
Then hubby yells back to me to settle down, he found them. I ran to the back yard again to see where they were. They found a hole under our fence and had sneaked under the fence to the neighbors yard. We couldn't get into the neighbors fence b/c it was locked so we had to coax the pups to come back under the fence. They finally did after 15 min but wow! what an awful feeling to think I wouldn't see them again!
All I could think of in those few minutes was 'I KNEW I should have microchipped her!' and 'People really ARE stealing pets!' and 'How could this happen?!'.
Maybe it's human nature to assume the worst? Anyway, SO glad I found them both safe and sound - I think I lost a year of my life in those few seconds of terror! Has this sort of thing happened to anyone here on YT? (Please tell me I'm not the only one!)
