We came back to the holiday cottage after shopping in Truro this morning. Lady jumped out of the back of the car and paddled off as usual with a hide bone I'd given her as a treat (cum bribe to get out of the car :). Much later - "Where's the dog?" Not upstairs, not on the lawn in front of the cottage, not in the field, not in the little wood - panic setting in! Found her sitting forlornly on the doorstep of the empty cottage we stayed in in June. Poor lamb had got confused! She's now guarding the door in the correct cottage! ;D
Re: Lost dog - then found her! She's basking in the sun at the moment, unconscious! Just about to get a rude awakening and a 5 mile walk. ;D
Re: Lost dog - then found her! Cruel , but then so am I , just about to take ours to the forest, lovely weather for it too, have a lovely walk David and Lady
Re: Lost dog - then found her! Gosh, what a scare! Glad you've got the lovely Lady back safe and sound.
Re: Lost dog - then found her! Saw the title and thought Oh no! So glad she is safe .my friends lab crossed 3 main roads to go back to their old house when they moved,the cleaner didn't see him go out the side gate. A neighbour rang her Husband to tell him the dog was sat on their old doorstep :'( .....I can't believe he got that far without someone stopping ...you NEVER see an unaccompanied dog in Dubai....
Re: Lost dog - then found her! Lucky indeed! I actually thought she might have been pinched - not rational I know but it did go through my mind for a second. Just got back from a lovely walk around St Agnes including some more swimming in the sea this time with waves! I threw a ball a good way out and then figured I'd lost it when Lady came back after meeting the first little wave. But an encouraging "find" got her off again and this time she swam through the waves, and responded to the stop and a cast when she was going in the wrong direction. Anyway she is zonked out now in her towelling dressing gown. ;D
Re: Lost dog - then found her! Glad she is back safely with you Sounds like good progress with the water....well done Lady x
Re: Lost dog - then found her! She's snoring at the moment. Walked the legs off her this afternoon including butt tucking on the beach with Springers, Labs and Schnauzers, and falling into deep rock pools making herself look silly, and she's now zonked out. ;D

She lives in the next village to me, a 5-10 min walk. Very scary, we will be replacing our gate with a 6' one that will be padlocked next week, someone could just pick my pups up over the one we have now. We never leave them outside without supervision now either. Glad Lady is safe and enjoying her hols 8)
Re: Lost dog - then found her! Yes! I don't know the exact details yet, my friend is going to find out, so i'm not sure if they were in or out at the time, just that the patio door was wide open and the dog was gone. Terrifying thought :-[
Re: Lost dog - then found her! Lady, you do keep us entertained ;D Only towelling for Lady's robe? Surely silk or angora would be more appropriate? Ermine perhaps?
Re: Lost dog - then found her! My most awful fear about being burgled is that the dog might get stolen. Everything else is replaceable; she's not.
