<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Suz,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> You are so lucky to have her
back! Reading it, I knew from the start she was back with
you, but it was scary as I went through the ordeal as you relayed
it!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Is she chipped? We have Delta Burke
here, she came to us almost 2 yrs ago and she is sooo skittish! I
had her chipped right away as I knew if she ever got out, she would be very hard
to get back. She is much better now, but still has a tough time with
new people and new experiences, like the dog park.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>SO glad you are all back home and hope by now
recovered and cleaned up a bit! :)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What an exciting day in San Antonio. I
haven't been feeling well, actually slept 10 hours last night. I got up
and fed the girls, got a shower and hoped I would feel better and have a calm
day. About 11am I got a delivery from UPS. I checked to make sure
that Sophie & Nancy were gated in the kitchen and went to open the door
with Holly at my side. I opened the door to get the package and the next
thing that I see is Nancy running out the door. I never even heard the
girls move the gate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Nancy is my crate girl who is afraid of
everything and everybody. I grabbed a slip lead and ran out the front
door in shorts and flip flops. My UPS guy was right around the corner
and told me which direction she ran. He offered to help, but I didn't
even think she would come to me. I was hoping that she would run between
2 house so I could corner her, but she headed straight to the woods
:( I went back into the woods a few hundred feet, mud up to my
ankles, and walking thru things I don't even want to think about. The
weeds were up to my waist. I finally realized that I needed to go home
and put on a pair of sneaks if I was going to go any further. I called
Dawn while I was changing shoes and back out I went. I did NOT think
that I would ever see her again :(</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I went back into the woods and came out on the
other side where there were 2 streets...didn't even know they were
there. They are actually in another sub-division from where I
live. There is also access to a hill that leads down into water that
goes under a bridge. I was hoping that she wasn't down there b/c I don't
know that I could have gotten down there. Well, may have gotten down
there, but never would have gotten back up :) As I'm writing this I just
realized that I never bothered to grab my cell phone when I ran out the
door.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The entire time I was calling her name, hoping to
just see some movement. Once I got to the streets I decided to walk
along the side and just keep calling her. I could see a pretty good way
in all directions, but nothing was moving.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I started calling her again and all of a
sudden I see her running down the street....coming to me. And then
I saw the traffic on the street I was standing on. I did what anyone
would do. I help up my hands and waved the slip lead in the air....and
every car stopped. She ran as fast as she could to me, but was on the
other side of a fence. I was able to lean over and get the lead on
her. I then thanked the drivers and let them go by. Then I took
the fence down with my feet...didn't know I had that much strength. Once
I got it down I stood on it so she could walk over it. And Nancy walked
all the way home with me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>When we got home I did take my shoes off before I
went into the house, but realized I already had mud from the front door to the
kitchen. I had mud all the way up to my knees, and poor Nancy had mud
all over her. I opened the back door to let everyone out. Holly
& Sophie were ticked that they didn't get to go on the adventure. My
2 pair of shoes are now sitting outside, tried cleaning them off with the hose
but there is mud and whatever packed in the tread. I cleaned myself off
outside with the hose. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I took the bedding out of the crates and put
towels in there so she can clean herself off. I had a towel on the floor
and she actually rubbed her belly on it. There went her $75 spa
day....LOL</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have to be honest. I never thought that I
would see her again. The next time I open the front door I will make
sure that they can't move the gate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Now it's time for me to go collaspe back into my
sick bed. I will worry about my rugs, kitchen floor, and shoes
later.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Suz</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Holly Noelle - What are those
smells?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sophie - Why didn't I get to go?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Nancy - I didn't have much, I was
scared</FONT></DIV>
