I knew it was of no use to try to chase her, she would just run, and I would just fall, so I calmly walked toward where she was sniffing the neighbors steps and just walked around following her until she finally came to me. I grabbed her up and discovered that I had clipped the tie out to her little bell ring instead of the D-ring! Imagine!!! How foolish! It was twisted and sticking straight out - I'm supprised she didn't cut herself on it. So now I know for certain that I have a runner. I thought she might be one, but you can't tell til' it actually happens.
I'm so glad I was able to catch her before she got too far away from me. I would never have been able to run after her. And even though she is a Tinkerbreat, I love her very much and she brings me lots of joy!  |
Oh Susie, you always have something going on in your life..........what a scare that must have given you. So much can happen in a blink of an eye.
I have a son that owned a sweet little Jack Russell. Last Thursday, his room mate left the door open and she being a little stinker, got out and was hit and killed by a car! My son is just so tormented by it and is so sad and broken in spirit. I feel so horrible myself .......... his horrible cries and deep pain just keeps ringing in my ears when he called me!! It was his very first baby and he is so upset. Can't even go back to his apt. Nothing I say eases the pain for him........he is just crushed. I feel so bad for him. It's taken me this long to even talk about here on YT. But reading your close call with Tink made me think of Abbie and how quick they can be gone.
