I was out today running errands. I drove about 20 mile south to pick up my kennel license as today was the last day to buy it w/o it costing double. I get a kennel license for two reasons – a) its cheaper than individually registering each dog at $13… The kennel is $65 b) it covers any rescue, foster or boarder i have at my house. ANYWAYS…

I drove right past my house and headed 15 miles north to go to Petsmart to get dog food and Tea at the Anderson’s. As I am in the turn lane to pull into Anderson’s I get a call from my husband. He makes a little small talk, but I knew something was wrong. He then asks me how my progress is going and when I will be home… he says the boys are gone. He is driving around looking for them. My son left the door open and out they went. He had been looking for them for about 45 minutes before he called me. So I immediately do an illegal U turn and race home. I am panicking – we live on a busy state route and the people drive really fast!

When I am about a mile away hubby calls me and has visual contact with them. They had crossed the busy road and were in a corn field running around and barking at something. I get there and they see me and come running to me straight away. I was sooo relieved they were safe. So mad they had gotten out. I cant believe what a close call that was. They were gone for over an hour.

As I am brushing the burs out of them I am angry they have the burs, but then I realize at least I have them to brush the burs out of and I just cant be mad.

I haven’t been so scared for a long time.
