I always thought that people that lost their dogs were awful and not careful
and irresponsible. Well I have to share what happened to me last night so that
it will make everyone aware of how easy something like this can happen.
I was at my dear friends house Gail and we were exchanging some Christmas
dresses for our girls. Gail has a big front yard with a hedge all the way
around it and we took the girls out to go potty. We called them in and they all
ran in. Gail and I were talking about the gifts and our babies and all of a
sudden I heard Maggie cry - at first I thought as she has a large home that she
got stuck somewhere. So Gail, her son, husband and I all went on a frantic
search. I said I think it came from outside even though I saw her come in. We
went outside and sitting on the middle of the lawn was my baby Maggie, shaking
and scared. The only thing that we can figure out what happened is before we
shut the door she ran back outside. I was mortified and so was Gail as we have
always considered our selves such good dog parents.
Thank God that an angel was watching over my little girl or she could of been
gone forever. So during this busy time during the holidays make sure that you
keep an extra close eye on your babies with people coming in and out.
I did not share this story to get any lectures as I already feel terrible and
cried my self to sleep last night, but if my story can make you more aware of
how easy this can happen then it is worth it.
So like my mother use to tell me never say never....
Nancy, Abbey-Rose and Maggie-Mae
