Nancy I am soo happy all is ok with Maggie. and yes your right, things happen, especially when we are busy with other things this time of year or it can be anytime. This is also a reminder to ID TAG YOUR PETS. Nancy, this does not make you a bad mommy... it makes you now aware of what you need to do from now on. We learn from our mistakes. and I am glad everything is ok.
I am happy also that you shared this story with everyone. Its a reminder that the holidays include many people / kids going in and out of the house, leaving doors open, and our little ones being scared of strange people. I wish everyone a safe holiday season. Shanna "My Chihuahua Ricky, Is A Heartbeat At My Feet."

Well I have to share what happened to me last night so that it will make everyone aware of how easy something like this can happen. I was at my dear friends house Gail and we were exchanging some Christmas dresses for our girls. Gail has a big front yard with a hedge all the way around it and we took the girls out to go potty. We called them in and they all ran in. Gail and I were talking about the gifts and our babies and all of a sudden I heard Maggie cry - at first I thought as she has a large home that she got stuck somewhere. So Gail, her son, husband and I all went on a frantic search. I said I think it came from outside even though I saw her come in. We went outside and sitting on the middle of the lawn was my baby Maggie, shaking and scared. The only thing that we can figure out what happened is before we shut the door she ran back outside. I was mortified and so was Gail as we have always considered our selves such good dog parents. Thank God that an angel was watching over my little girl or she could of been gone forever. So during this busy time during the holidays make sure that you keep an extra close eye on your babies with people coming in and out. I did not share this story to get any lectures as I already feel terrible and cried my self to sleep last night, but if my story can make you more aware of how easy this can happen then it is worth it. So like my mother use to tell me never say never.... Nancy, Abbey-Rose and Maggie-Mae
