Today i had the biggest scare of my life... I was at work about to eat lunch and my wife called me and told me that my best friend and bird dog was gone.  Camo is a yellow lab that just turned a yr old in July.  We also have my brother-in-law's dobie for a few weeks.  We live in a housing development in san antonio and my backyard is very big and fenced in with gates on both sides of the house. Last night i mowed the yard after work and i forgot to shut the gate and lock it. My wife always lets them out in the back yard in the morning when it's cool so they can run and play. When she went to let them in they were gone!.. she took off running down the street looking for them.(she's 8mths Prego) A guy stopped her and said that he saw a guy in a car trying to get the yellow one in and the brown one ran.  My wife was on the phone with me crying so hard I couldn't understand her.. Everynight we walk them around the housing development and we always go the same way, it basically makes a big square, so she ran home and got the truck and took off the way we walk.. she didn't find them but the boys on the corner said they saw them go past.  She drove the square that we walk and didn't see them.. I think they must have been up in someones yard b/c she drove it again and found them on the corner of our street on their way home.. Judging by where the ppl live that she talked to who saw them i think they got out walked the route that we always walk and were almost home when she found them.. It was def. a big scare I dont' know what i'd do if I lost my dog!! I know one thing for sure i will NEVER forget to lock that gate again..  I know anyone that is as close to their dog as i am they know exactly how i felt when my wife called me.. I guess everything turned out alright though, he's laying at my feet in front of the fan now!!
