So yesterday we had people come to pressure wash our siding and porch areas. It looked great when I pulled in the driveway from work. So i get in the house, let the dogs out of their kennel, and let them out back to do their business. Gus always pees then comes right back in, Ellie likes to sniff every inch of the yard, so she normally stays out a long time. So i'm inspecting the siding, and decide to come inside to eat some dinner. I'm takin my time, eating and watching a movie on t.v... I think it was What Happens In Vegas, i really like that movie. Dusty comes home a little more than an hour after me and i tell him "You might want to go call ellie in, she's been outside for like the past hour and a half.." So Dusty goes outside, and lets gus out with him. I continue to watch my movie. He's outside for a LONG time i think... and i'm getting antsy because i want to ask him to take me to wal mart to buy a new boardgame (haha). So all of a sudden DUSTY calls my cell phone. I answer "What??" .."Umm. I think i know why Ellie hasn't come in yet..the pressure washer people left the back gate open....and Gus just got out too and I can't catch him" Oh NO!!!!! Ellie has been OUT roaming the world for the past hour and a half?!?! I immediately start to panic and go help Dusty catch Gus. Then we hop in the car and start looking for Ellie, crying the entire time. I can't help but think "She has gotten hit by a car...She doesn't even have her collar on... she Could be bit by a snake! (we saw a giant snake in our neighborhood the other day)...She may NEVER. COME. HOME" It was just awful. Dusty circles us around for a good 30 minutes and we decide to check by the house again, Calmly Dusty says "There she is.." And there she was! Standing in the field next to our house. I get out sobbing "ELLIE!" and she whines and runs right to me. What a CLOSE CALL!! We're glad we found her, Dusty said its a sign that we are meant to have 2 dogs right now. Because lately all we can do is complain how they've ruined our house...
Those Workers will DEFINITELY get a complaint letter from me!!!!!!

Awww! I'm so glad you found her!!! I knew you would be heart broken without her. :)
Whew. What an ordeal! I remember when Sasha left the yard one night and I couldn't find her. Steve was out of the country, the kids were in bed, it was super dark and creepy out...and where the heck was my dog?! I was about to meltdown. I couldn't imagine having to tell the kids that I had lost their dog. But she came back. Stinker. I scolder her BIG...then I gave her a big ole bone. :)
Glad Ellie and Gus are now safe at home where you can spoil them.
I love Danas comment. Maybe Ellie just needs bigger snacks. So glad you found her.
