Trixie got out once where I didn't know where she was. I came home from being out and noticed that she wasn't at the front door....I looked everywhere in the house yelling her name. OMG...I panicked....my dh had left for work, I called him and asked if he saw her ... nope. I called my friend and neighbor to see if she came by and took her for a visit...nope. Called both of my kids....nope. By now, my friend had come down the block to help me look for Trixie with her daughter. I called my daughter again thinking that she was pulling a joke on me and who was visiting her high school (she had just graduated a few months before) and she answers her phone and I scream "Don't #@#@ around .... do you have Trixie .... I'm in no mood for this @#!$#@.....tell me the truth" (and I never use that language ... well almost never) Then, to my relief and embarrassment, at that moment, my neighbor who has now heard me yelling frantically...comes over and says that she found Trixie sitting on my front steps all alone and that no one was home so she brought her into her house. Needless to say....I had to apologize to my darling daughter and to the teacher that was standing with her when I called and she had me on speakerphone. Panic is not a fun thing to experience. Trixie had gotten out of the front door when my dh left for work and he never saw her slip by...thankfully she was fine and not lost or hurt.
