Oats has ran off :( | Thread profile

i realised at about 10am that oats wasnt in the house, under the bed where she normally sleeps. I think that one of my toddlers must have opened the back door, whilst i was in the shower (the garden is toddler proof but no dog proof, oats can jump the gate) to go out in the garden and the dog must have got out. I have called and called till my throat is sore, and cant go and look for her thanks ...

Don't beat yourself up. Of course you can manage toddlers and a puppy. These things happen and children are not as careful as adults - it won't happen again though you'll make sure of that. Hopefully she'll be home before long. Glad hubby is on his way home. Let us know when you have news of her.

Oh no! What bad news! Don't be hard on yourself, no one is perfect and we can all tell stories of dogs getting loose (I've lost one in the woods once and had one fall off a 15 ft deck so I'm no ). Anyway, it's good that everyone is looking. How do you think Oats will react towards strangers? Will she likely approach them or run away?

she is so friendly she will go to anyone, thats another worry, someone may keep her for themselves, she is such a lovely natured, cute puppy. Thats if she doesnt end up on the roads. No news yet, and i have been out shouting again. If we do get her back, i will have learned my lesson and be keeping the backdoor locked at all times now, i just hope nothing happening happens to her, or to anyone ...

Oh boy, terriers and running away.. Missy did the same thing a few days ago, I FORGOT her outside and she got loose.. Don't beat yourself up, stuff like that happens.. I hope youg et her back though!!!!

don't up set your self to much. does she have a collar on with your address on, I knew a dog once that always got out, but because she had this on she was always returned home quickly.

I'd print up some pages with Oat's picture and your phone number and knock on some doors, ask people to keep an eye out. There is more info here on what to do if a pet is lost, maybe there is another idea for you there. http://www.petrescue.com/library/find-pet.htm Oat's may be in someone's home enjoying a hot dog with them trying to figure out how to get her back home. Fingers and paws ...

no the only thing on her dog tag is our house phone number, i didnt add anything else. and to make things wore our house rabbit managed to chew through the wires from my phone, even though they were wrapped in a special tubing, so if anyone does have her and tries to call, they wont get through. I could kick myself i really coulld. Its raining here and she HATES the rain, but even that hasnt ...

a lot of my neighbours were out yesterday, i told them what had happened and asked them to keep an eye out. I am just waiting on hubby getting back then either he or i will look for her, probably me because she responds better to me i think. If there is no sign i will go to the library as i dont have a printer here and get some printed out and some plastic pockets, pin them up. I just hope noone...
