This is why I am thankful at Thanksgiving....
I have a dog. Her name is Maisy. She's got a problem with staying in the yard (she needs lessons from Lucky-my cat who comes to the door when she accidentally gets outside to be let back in!). I know her moves, so rarely does she escape on my watch, but Ken is a different story. Maisy knows she can outrun him, so she will slip under the fence and she's gone! So, today Ken takes her out, and she makes a run for it, but instead of going to the abandoned housing un-development behind our street, where she normally goes (lots to smell and chase)she went up the road and crossed a VERY busy strret and went to the Kroger. Maybe she wanted to pick up a few things...I have no idea. when Ken called me and said she had been out and that she was found at Kroger, it just freaked me out! It terrifies me that she went on a road where the speed limit is 45 mph, and many people go faster than that. Thank goodness some kind soul took the time to call our house to let us know she was there. But Ken was out looking for her for quite some time, so when noone came to get Maisy, someone from Kroger called to say they had contacted animal control and we could get her there. Thank goodness, whoever it was looked at her rabies tag and realized her vet was across the street, so they took her there and that's where Ken picked her up. So, I am thankful Maisy is home safe and sound! She's now not allowed out except on a leash, and I may be learning how to make my own doggie hobbles..anyone got a concrete block I can use?
