Earlier today I left the house to take my mom shooting (I recently bought a .40 cal pistol and wanted my mom to try it out). Well, normally when I go somewhere that Sasha can't go with, I leave her collar off (its always off when I'm home with her) and crate her up. Today I decided, well DH is home, ill leave her out and it should be fine. Sasha is still terrified of my hubby, but I hoped maybe not having me around she'd use him for comfort. So anyway I go shoot and to lunch only to come home and Sasha is no where to be found! DH says he figured she was hiding somewhere, but any of her usual spots were all empty and she wasn't coming to me, which she ALWAYS does. I go into panic mode looking. I went out front and called her, suddenly here she is, running as fast as she can up to me. Luckily we live on a cold-e-sac so traffic wasn't a huge danger. She was trembling and had dirt all over. I was so relieved to see she had no wounds or anything.
So, I figured out she either found some hole in the fence, which is doubtful because I've scanned everywhere, or our gardeners let her out. They were here when I pulled up and the gate was open, so I'm assuming it was them. We have a doggy door so likely she went outside when i left to look through the fence.
. Needless to say, they'll be getting an earful from me, and Sasha will be in her crate when I'm not home!
I gave her a bath and have been cuddling her all afternoon. I feel so guilty! Poor baby was so scared. She's okay now and sleeping on me. Thank you God!
