IYPChrissie Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I just realized about 2 hours ago that my dog tequila is missing :cry: My 4 year old has a bad habit of pulling open the door when someone knocks, I usually have the chain on but the bigger kids forgot to put it back on. A neighbor came to the door and he must of ran out then and I just didn't notice at the time. So now its hours later and I can't find him anywhere and I feel so bad and I can't stop crying. How awful am I for not noticing :cry: I have just been so sick and stuffed that my brain isn't functioning right. To make matters worse, he doesn't have his tags on :cry: I have been sick with sinuitis and headaches and the other night he was bouncing and klanking around so my husband took the tags off which we *never* do and we forgot to put them back on him. I drove around for an hour calling his name and nothing. Hubby is on his way home now so he's going to go try. Going to make some posters and put them up first thing if he doesn't have any luck. I can't go thru this again :( :cry: Quote
Malamum Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Oh no. Sending lots of positive thoughts for Tequilla to be come home safe and sound. Quote
courtnek Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 sometimes things happen. They get out (my sons cat is a notorious escapist, and the dogs would be if they were small enough to sneak by). Hope Tequila comes back safe and sound!! :angel: Quote
BuddysMom Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Oh I'm so sorry, this happened to me once (a dog lost with no tags) and it turned out fine but not till after a whole night crying and worrying (she was at the Humane Society in the morning...) Best of luck, Tequila will be OK and don't be mad at yourself ... it could happen to anyone ... just concentrate on getting her back. Quote
IYPChrissie Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 Thank you everyone for the nice thoughts and words. I went and put up flyers tonight hoping everyone would see them in the morning on the way to work, I just feel soooo bad :( I will let you know what happens and again, thank you. Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 have you checked the local shelters and all the vets in your area I have mine mirco chiped Quote
imported_Kat Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Paws crossed that Tequila will be back soon. Accidents hapen...it doesn't make you a bad Mum :wink: Quote
ObedienceGrrl Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Call the police too....a lot of people call them when they find a dog. Since some shelters are not available 24 hours a day.....the police are the first ones to get a dog, then they will transfer it to the shelter in the morning.... Keep searching, sweetie....you are not a bad mommy and you know it. Accidents will happen. Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Chrissie, you are not a bad mommy at all! Everyone makes mistakes, its a part of life and if you never made a mistake then you wouldn't be normal anyway. I really hope you find Tequila (adorable name, btw! My friends goat was named that) soon. Good luck and keep us updated! :angel: Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Here's hoping Tequila finds her way home. My Devin went missing once and was gone for two days before being returned, so don't give up hope! Quote
IYPChrissie Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 He's BACK!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Putting up the flyers last night worked, the man that had him saw them this morning when he brought his daughter to school. He said he knew someone would be looking for him, he was fresh bathed and could tell he was well taken care of! Whew what a scare! My husband hugged him 3 times and thanked him, we are gonna get him a small gift to thank him. He fed him and let him hang out with his dogs, he knew we would be along looking for him. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH for all the kind words and thoughts, I can't tell you how much they mean to me, I was feeeling sooo badly. Sorry I didn't post sooner, I didn't sleep well last night so I took a nap ;) Thanks again everyone xoxoxox Quote
imported_nea Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 :D :D Thats fantastic!!! :D I'm so glad you've got him back again! :D Quote
IYPChrissie Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 Thank you, Thank you!! The best was my 4 year old lecturing him that he was a bad boy for running away LOL But then we had to explain to him too that he CAN'T open the door when Tequila is standing there, he gets excited and runs off ;) Quote
ObedienceGrrl Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Wonderful news!!! He gets an extra cookie tonight before bed!! Quote
courtnek Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 thank goodness!! I would have been a wreck as well. what nice man!, for keeping him at his house with his doggies. A gift is definitiely in order! :D Free got out one night while I was in Portland quite a few years back. My ex went looking for but she's almost completely black. couldnt be seen in the darkness. HE DIDNT TELL ME!! She came back on her own, he found her ont he porch next day. At first I wanted to kill him, then realized it was probably better he didnt tell me, because I wouldve booked a flight straight home and then gotten in trouble at work...I am required to go to these training sessions every year, and although my boss is a very understanding man, I dont think he would have been happy had I come home. He doesnt have any pets, so doesnt understand. He lets the staff take time off if they have pet issues, but shakes his head in wonder whenever that happens. Quote
Mutt_Lady Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 How wonderful! I'm so happy to hear that he is home safe and sound. The man who picked him up sounds like his guardian angel. :) What a happy ending!! Quote
IYPChrissie Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 Thank you! We are all so happy - I am so thankful to this man, glad tomorrow is payday so I can get him a little something ;) Courtnek, some people really just don't get the dog thing and I just don't get them ;) I had a boss like that but he didn't give a hoot, that was unacceptable to him as a reason to leave or miss work :evil: Thank goodness I work from home and for myself now, sometimes people are just GRRRRRRRRRRR. Thanks again guys, I love coming here and having everyone understand exactly what I mean!!! Quote
hicksstar Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 GREAT NEWS!!!!! Glad you have him home :D Quote
JackieMaya Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 I'm so glad you got Tequila back safe and sound! You're very lucky that such a nice man found her and took care of her until you found her. You're a good mom. Like everyone else said, this kind of stuff happens when you have dogs. I don't know how many times I had to go around the neighborhood trying to find Maya until I started putting her on a cable in the back yard. Congratulations on getting your baby home! Quote
izzy Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Well i missed this thread, but i'm so happy for you and Tequila, it's great you found him fast and he's ok. :) Quote
courtnek Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 off topic, but Izzy, how's Tabetha doing? Quote
