| Toby is a little sneak! I was sitting on the deck tonight reading and Toby and Speedy were out in the yard snooping around and the next thing I know, Toby is nowhere to be found. All I have to do is say "Toby want a treat" and he will come running but he didn't this time. So I ran in the house and got my husband and we went out front and started calling his name............nothing. So I went next door to the neighbor's back gate and opened it (they have a very tall privacy fence) and low and behold there stood my little Toby. He was giving me the look of "thank you for finding me mom!" He was very calm and let me pick him up. So I immediately went out back to find where he got out and sure enough, there was a space in the corner of the yard under our very large lilac bush where he got out. He's not very happy with mom right now because I blocked off his escape route! Thank goodness the neighbor had a fenced in back yard. After I blocked it off he was running around the yard looking for another way out so I decided to walk with him to double check for any other openings! These yorkies are little stinkers! He NEVER used to try and get out until this week when our other neighbors started dog sitting for two blue heelers and now Toby thinks he's a BIG DOG and runs the fence trying to bite them through the fence. Thank goodness I know these dogs and they simply back off when Toby goes into guard mode. It's cute but could be dangerous! So please check your yard because now that everything is blooming it covers up possible escape routes! I don't know what I'd do without this little guy. He's my little buddy. Now I can relax and watch American Idol.

| Isn't that just the worst feeling in the world? Scooter has escaped twice now and I've been so lucky that he didn't go far at all. His big sis dug under the fence and tiny Scooter wriggled and made it through the opening. The next time was my stupid fault and I left the fence gate unlatched. Horrible, horrible feeling when you realize they are gone. I'm so glad he is ok the little dickens.

| Thanks Karen. It is one of my favorite pics. That's the dog bed that hubby made and is on our website. It's my desktop background on ALL my computers, including the one at work. I have a lady at work that has to get her Toby fix once a week (meaning I have to send her a pic of Toby.) She said it helps get her through the week just looking at his cute (ornery) little face. Yes I was scared to death! Thank goodness the little stinker is so attached to me. He always comes running to me when I say treat and if he can't see me, he comes looking for me. Maybe it scared him to death too (I hope!)

| Whew! My heart skipped a beat envisioning what you went through Thanks for the remind I get so relaxed thinking, naaaa, they're as afraid to leave my sight as I am to lose them. But I should know better then to trust them their curiosity and large, independent-doggie complex can one day give me a heart attack. So I'll run an inspection in the morning

| Thank God you found him safe! You must of been freaking out, I know I would have. When we first got Louie we went around the yard looking for spots. Then we had to put chicken wire on cyclone fence cause he got his lil head in the fence. They are little stinkers, very inquisitive!!
