I am there with you! I let neighbors I know and friends of course.
I don't even trust my dh when we are out.
he is so unfocussed. One time we had a booth at a green fair and I came back to the booth after running an earen and a lady came up to me and said "is this your dog? I found her by the water!"
talk about freaking ...so I take remy with me at all times when we are out!!!
Dh left her outside one time when he was grilling...we have a fenced yard thank goodness. She was at the door crying to come in when I returned.
I also worry when we have to go out of town and I have a house sitter( lucky me..I have friends) ..will they be as careful as I am?
I have shih tuz and I worry about them too but they are bigger and not the object of thief so much.
