OMG I would have panicked too!! Glad she was safe and just shut up in the bathroom

I know every one of your worst fears runs through your mind, when something like this happens.
Jada went out onto the screened porch when I did once and I didn't realize it. It was about 10 minutes before I missed her. Miss barks her head off at every noise, didn't make a sound when I was calling for her. Geesh!! I know exactly how you feel

Been there, done that.....it's the most horrible feeling of panic. Luckily it ended well. Whewwww...........

What a relief

. My Cali does not bark and I have had a few heart-stopping moments like that. I have a friend who puts a bell on her Yorkie

So glad she was in the bathroom.

Silly pups, they know how to make the heart skip a beat. I got home one day and Bella was no where to be found, so my mind went crazy thinking someone stoled her. Nope she was in our bathroom and the door closed behind her and she couldn't get out. Boy we were so glad to see each other. Bless their little selves.

When I was away from home at college many, many years ago, my mom almost lost her Yorkie puppy when my sister accidentally locked her in the bathroom. We were lucky she survived because there was a heat lamp in the bathroom and she could have gotten dehydrated very quickly. I'm not sure if they have them today, but needless to say, that experience really scared me. I think I'd be afraid to have one in case a little one accidentally got locked in there. I also wonder about heated tile too. It is such a terrifying feeling when they get lost inside the home. I'm glad you found Mikki unharmed. I understand why you love her so.

Oh No! Thankfully she is alright. I can totally relate to that horrible feeling.

I just had a scare like this the other day. My boys left the front gate open and I was taking the groceries down from the truck. I realized that she had gotten out and couldn't find her anywhere! We live right on a busy road so I was freaking out. I even got my boys worried. We ended up finding her sitting in the front seat, as if she were waiting for us to go for a ride. May I add... that was the last place we looked after like 4 mins. lol Ugh! Such a terrible feeling though!

But didn't those 4 minutes seem like FOREVER????!!!!!! I swear it felt like I was looking for her for 30 minutes. When I know it was only a few. I was afraid she got outside. And we live in the country. There are critters everywhere!!

Stupid hawks, stupid owls, stupid coyotes.......

Gracie has done that to me twice. Sheer panic. I put a bell on her after the first time. I thought only my kids could make my heartbeat with such anxiety!

Hmmmmm, a bell. Might be a good idea!

yorkieusa · 03-04-2012, 06:35 PM

Ha-ha! It does scare you to death. Kacee used to get shut in closets when she was a puppy.

BabyGirl Rosie · 03-04-2012, 06:38 PM

I was crying and everything. I really thought something had happened to her. Oh my gosh the relief when we found her!!

YEESSS!!! It really is a fear you thought you would only have due to your children but I felt the same way with her. Totally put my stomach in a knot. I made sure to sit down with my boys and had a talk with them about her safety after that happened.

The bell has helped a lot. She kind of blends in with the earth tones in my home. Although she is usually with me she disappeared again a couple of weeks ago. I went looking for her and found a tissue on the floor. She loves to steal tissues. I had this image of her silently gagging on a tissue while I raced all over looking for her and calling her. When I was close to panic I went back in the living room and there she was on the couch all wrapped up in a throw! She had not even lifted her head enough to make the bell ring as I was freaking out calling her! I just took a bell off of a cat collar but they sell nice little dog bells in some of the fancy online sites.
