Can't Lose a Good Chiweenie - Part 2

As you all know, the dogs go out for a run every morning. This morning, at the cabin, Jim went with me, so we decided to walk thru the forest, down to the creek behind the cabin. That way the dogs could be off leash the whole way and get a good run in.

We went about a mile and started walking up a road. The Chiweenie took off down the hill, across the creek and up the canyon on the other side. We continued to walk a little ways while whistling. After a few minutes, there was no Chiweenie to be seen.

So....Jim walked across the creek and looked for her while I walked up and down the road whistling for her. We did this for about 20 minutes until we decided that she was (a) she had gone home or (b) she was lost in the forest forever!

So we hiked a mile back home - whistling and calling her name the whole way!

Jim took a different route then me, just in case she went a different way home.

We got home and.....no Chiweenie on the deck!

Damn!

I yelled down to Jim that she was not here. I went to the front and opened it up to tell everyone that "apparently, you CAN lose a good Chiweenie"! And....I was greeted by Drew on the couch, snuggling with Ahi!

She had been back about 15 minutes!

Damn dog found her way back thru a forest that she had never been in before this morning. She was barking at the front door, so Gracie let her in! Then, everyone waited for us to get back.

What must Daisy think?
