It happened in a blink of an eye , and I knew who had her, the problem was they were not giving her back, i felt helpless, in shock, and just froze.
I took for for a walk this evening, and she went through the bottom of an iron gate fence which was an apartment complex accross the street from where i live.
I tried getting her back through the fence, but, she got scared , and pulled hard enough to slip out of her harness and leash. Oh Geez, she ran towards the apartment complex where their were stairs and 2 apartments. i thought she was hiding by the bottom of the stairs , but could not see her, and would of had to run all around the front of the complex to get into the side of the complex. Only problem was that i just had surgery and can't go fast

I saw two young girls walking by in the complex and told them to please get my dog, she got loose and ran over there.
the kids were great, but when they looked Suzi was gone. OMG , they even checked behing the corner, and it is a dead end, she was not there.
Well here i am standing there , looking into a window where i could see people in there, ANd I knew that she was in there. I saw them watching me as well, and tried to have the girls knock on the door, they wound not.
I ddi not know what to do

I stood there frozen, and just knew they had her, and were watching me as well.
It seems like an erternity, but, all of a sudden they let her out, and Suzi came running as fast as she could towards me. The girls were able to pick her up and hand her to me though the fence. Suzi was shaking all over violently.
I saw those people pick up a small child and cirlce around their table, I am thinking the child became upset that their was a dog in the house, and they let her finally go.
My Suzi just stopped shaking in my arms, and started kissing me . She knows who she belongs to, and I love her soooo much.
What made me upst was the people kept her, for a few min. and probably would have if their child did not freak out.
I felt so helpless and confused that those people who I could see inside their apartment, had my Suzi and would not give her back

She is not microchipped, but has all her tags. It happened in an instant too, and it still has made me feel very upset. Knowing where she was, and not able to get to her

They should have never even opened the door and took her in the first place.
I have her safe and sound, and learned an important lesson. My Suzi is so much a part of my world that if i'd lost her for longer then that I would have had a breakdown.
