Almost lost Maggie May!
 

Oh my gosh! We NEVER us our front door as we go thru the garage all the time. Well, we have chem lawn and they always leave the paperwork hanging off the front door. Hubby went to retrieve the bill the other night (at about 10:00 pm) and I was in the kitchen on the other side of the house and all of a sudden I hear him yelling. Maggie May had dashed out the front door and he didn't see her until she was down the front stairs and on the light colored cement walkway! Thank goodness!

He said the door was just about closed when he happened to look out for whatever reason and saw her. Now we live in an area surrounded by woods and water with tons of wildlife. There are only 14 homes so there is basically no lights in the neighborhood unless someone has their porch lights on. Whew! We probably would not have noticed she was gone for at least a 1/2 hour at least!:eek:

That was really, really scary. She is just so quick and hyper that sometimes you don't even see her run by you. I am just so glad something made hubby look out the door before he shut it totally! Needless to say she got a good stern talking to and a lot of hugs and kisses.

So watch your babies or at least know where they are whenever you open any doors!

i'm glad he saw her when he did ,they sure r fast i got to watch jacey anytime the door comes open

OMG, the title had my heart racing! Thank God your DH saw her! I never use my front door either, and it's mainly for just this reason. The little buggers are so quick I'm afraid I couldn't catch them in time. I'm glad everything is alright! {hugs}

I am so glad he happened to see her - how scary! I had a scare this morning too...Olivia has never, ever tried to get out of our fence. Actually I always have to put her outside and usually have to make sure she doesn't run right back in the doggie door before she does her business. But this morning I put her outside and about 10 min later realized she had never came back in. Sure enough, she had got out of our fence and was nowhere to be found. I threw clothes on my granddaughter and myself and we walked around and then drove around our rural subdivision...finally saw her runninng alongside another dog's fence. *whew* I didn't have her harness/tags on her either so I was having real anxiety!

So glad we both found our girls! :)

:eek:

Seriously Bo. Maggie May seems to have a bad case of wanting some serious attention!!! Sheesh!!! I am so glad your dh saw her!

A couple of years ago my older Yorkie got outside at night and nobody even knew he was missing. I happened to go in the kitchen for something and glanced at the glass door and realized that Chipper was on the WRONG SIDE of the door. Being that he was older he never went far from the house but that wouldn't stop from him being somebody's dinner. We were very lucky that night.

OMG, I am so glad that your dh noticed. That's scarey!

The few times that we get anything by UPS, it is too hilarious, the driver knows the stand guard ready to catch one of them! He's a great driver! lol. That was one thing obedience class didn't quite break her/them of! :rolleyes:

Yeah, at least if they were to run out of the door to the garage, we could get them safe and sound! Whew!

OMG! so glad that you noticed she hadn't come back in when you did! You had to have been beside yourself! I am so glad you found her. :) They are quick and resourceful little devils aren't they! :rolleyes:

I know, she feels so left out these days. I can't explain to Hot Rod why he's in jail and I can't explain to Maggie May why I am always holding her brother. :(

When we put them face to face she is soooo cute, she will give kisses and then start putting her paws all over his face and head. It is too cute, she has always used her paws for things like that. When he used to be mean to her, she would take one paw and pat him as to tell him she understands that he is a brat and that it is okay. :D

I had that happen with Jasper a few wks. ago.He is only 14 wks. at that time just 12 wks. anyway.I went outside and he ran passed me and took to chasing a bird.My two young kids 2 and 3 started yelling for him.He started to come to me but a stupid bird caught his eyes again and he was on the chase,I was so scared he was going to get hit by a car.We live off a busy street.A School bus driver seen me trying to get him and she got out of the bus to help.He was almost to the busy stret and I colapsed in fear of what I was going to whitness.On my knes and crying like a baby as were my two young kids on the porch begging Jasper to come to them.I was so scared,thankfully the bird finally flew away and Jasper seen the bus driver coming towards him and he turned around and came running to me.Licking my tear soaked face.I never held him so tight in my life.When I got up holding him my legs were so weak and shakey.I think I could have had a heart attack.We now have a gate up on our porch with a lock.No more escaping anymore,my heart can't handle it.

Oh no! I'm so glad you saw him. It's a good thing you went into the kitchen when you did! Yeah, we've got a herd of about 15 deer that run in a pack (?), they go from back yard to back yard just grazing. We also have 2 mama red foxes with dens with babies and lots of turkey buzzards that fly during the day.
Maggie May would just be a niblet to them. :eek:

That is so scary Im glad shes okay. Your Husband has good eyes. I have a fence in my front yard and back and its nice because I dont have to worry if they go out. Its a pretty good thing too because our house is close to the street and its a pretty busy street

Needless to say that he is on yorkie alert everytime he leaves and reenters the room now. :)
