A Dog Day.


We had a very scary day yesterday, here at the Secret House. Rusty the puppy got loose while we were gone and he took a field trip ....for 6 hours. I cried for two hours straight when it became clear that he was lost for good.
We were hanging around on the porch, looking out listlessly and feeling very sorry for ourselves and our puppy, when he came running up to the door!
I don't think we've had a happier moment since Grace was born!
Welcome home, Little Fur!

.......whew, close one!......... But, he couldn't leave his forever family - just needed his own vacation. (maybe it was payback...... he missed Sandy and Annie!)

Thank goodness! I have experienced the same, and it is so awful. My female german shepherd ran away while we were on vacation at a cabin, and I was hysterical. Late that night, she turned up at the dock, covered in burrs and weeds. My heart leapt with joy! What a smart little guy to come home on his own! Definitely treat worthy!

What a relief! I'm sorry for your fright but glad it all worked out. I guess most of us with dogs (or worse, cats, who can disappear for days) can empathise with your experience.

Oh my gosh! That is so scary! I am so glad that she came home.

Ami is wondering how he got out? Did he open the door?

So glad to hear he came back. He knows a good family when he has one. I bet he couldn't resist the nice bed in Grace's room. Thank goodness he found his home again

Yeah, I am glad he came back..maybe he was looking for his own romp in the mud?
