yep, he ran away.. my pooch took off- after dark!!! the huge home- you know the one with the fence around it- was where I found him...
let's start from the beginning
1. had been at Mom's celebrating her anniversary with the family..
2. enjoyed lovely pina colodas- made my mom- yummy
3. swam way too much
4. went home, got shower and rocking Mr T to sleep
5. girls come out for extra snuggles- how can I say no???
6. dh comes in from feeding YoYo and tells me Prince Charming is not in the back yard any more... whaaaaaaaaaaaaa
7. jump out of pj's and into shorts, tshirt and flip flops
8. grab crappy flashlight that does NOTHING For sight...
9. holler for Prince to come home... I can hear him barking but it's far away....
I figure he's in the pasture rolling in cow manure- lovely... "how nice" (remember that joke Jas??? lol!)
10. can't find him.. going to recruit MOm... bro and his family are leaving (it's 9:30 pm) and they decide to help find our pooch- thanks, bro!
11. get Mom and off we go circling the pasture... we find little glowing eyeballs in the mansion's gated yard... nobody there and I can't get to my dog... who apparently doesn't know his name...
12. did I mention I don't have his tag on him... can't get it to go on! grrrrrrrrrrrr
13. begin to whine
14. whined some more...
15. whined even more....
16. this is where I say... "just one more thing, God... just one more thing... " this is what I get for praying for patience oh so long ago... NEVER, I repeat, NEVER pray for patience! lol!
17. driving "into the forest" as my kids call it - calling his name... can't see, can't hear.. he is nowhere.. where did he go???
18.. we drive down to the creek only to turn around...
19.. drive back towards my house and I call him some more... I hear a BARK!!! yippeee!
20. neighbors tell me he is in the other neighbor's yard.. I go and knock on the door only to ask if I can go around their house... here he comes!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
he is belly crawling to me.. I pick him up, kiss him, hug him.. he's wet, panting, dirty, heart beating so fast....
oh, what a day... the girls are asleep and never knew the dog was missing... whew!

What a wild time - I'm sure! I can just see you trying to follow his barks. I'm so glad you found him although I'm sure he would have found his way home eventually. The question is whether that would have been before or AFTER the girls woke up and noticed ;-)
And I'm sure you felt like saying to the dog (and the situation) - "HOW NICE"!!! lol (how could I forget?)
Wow AM I felt like I was there with you. Nothing like that bad feeling in the pit of your stomach when you can find your loving pet.
I am so glad he is back...
You have so much fun AnneMarie :) Glad you gound him...
