So I was outside on the deck with Rocky and Bella, talking on the phone w/ my fiance. I usually can bring Rocky and Bella on the deck w/o leashing them because it's a small area and they rarely go by the stairs, if they do I tell them no and they come back to me. I took my eyes off them for like a second, not even, and I notice that their not up there anymore!
I didn't even HEAR their little feet going down the steps! I go to the stairs and call their names, Bella comes to the bottom of the steps but Rocky is no where to be found
So I get Bella and we walk around and I'm yelling Rocky so loud, walking all around the back yard area (We live in a townhome) and he's not showing up. I walk to the front of the house, he's not there. At this point I don't know if he went to the street behind our house (theirs a driveway our yard meets up with), went to the left of our house, the right, I figure I'm going to have to get in my car and start driving around the neighborhood. Finally after about 5 minutes of the worst thoughts going through my mind, I see him, he crossed the street (on the side of our house) and was in the neighbors yard! I'm so thankful! I feel like such an idiot because I always leash them when were outside in the yard, but on the deck I never thought they could get away so fast...I can't imagine what I would do if I didn't find him! From now on they'll always be leashed, no matter where we are! I forgot how sneaky these babies can be!
