That is truly heartbreaking! You and your husband are heroes for saving the two that you did.

That dog sounds like she's going to test you the rest of your days.<BR/><BR/>I do know what you mean. Our last set of dogs have been pretty good. They rarely strayed further than we could see them. But the first set---those Sammies! They tested their limits every chance they got.<BR/><BR/>So I understand completely. After Bailey, I imagine Dakota is a handful.<BR/><BR/>Good for you that you watch her. I see people all the time let their dogs wander. That's not a responsible owner.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately, this house came with a very large dog run. We don't yet have fencing on our acreage either. With any luck that will be a project for the spring.<BR/><BR/>And Lord, woman. Thank God you had a watchful neighbor. What a close call!<BR/><BR/>PS I'm so glad you've decided to do money saving tips on your blog. I'll be following faithfully.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-87013785230876683582008-12-07T17:03:00.000-06:002008-12-07T17:03:00.000-06:00I'm so sorry about your babies -- I can imagine ho...I'm so sorry about your babies -- I can imagine how that haunts you.<BR/><BR/>I worry about my critters in a fire all the time ... my neighbors have all been told to feel free to let themselves in by any means if it seems there is a fire (once, a neighbor was driving by and saw huge flames -- he came to the storm door, knocked and no one answered ((<I>DH was in the basement, I wasn't home</I>)). My DH had a bad habit of lighting candles and then tossing the used match into the jar... well, they caught fire. The neighbor took the candles and chucked them into the snow outside, bless his heart, and all we ended up with were scorch marks up the wall ... anyway...)<BR/><BR/>Here's the problem with a doggy door: we don't have a fenced in yard. We live on five acres and abutt conservation land. Dakota has zero respect for an eCollar (I had it set all the way up once, and she flinched and yelped and still ignored me and it) so an invisible fence is out of the question. When we take her out, it's on leash. Always.<BR/><BR/>My last dog was always out off leash, but she was also, yanno, obedient. I have hopes that Dakota will learn someday. But, sadly that day is not TODAY.Marianne Arkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934613403368823760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-44275262894742597792008-12-07T13:02:00.000-06:002008-12-07T13:02:00.000-06:00Oh, my gosh!

Whenever she was out with us, she'd wander over to their house and knock on the door.<BR/><BR/>They always let her in and she'd jump on the couch and sit with the old people. <BR/><BR/>When my neighbor came down with Alzheimer's, about the only thing she remembered was Isis and how she used to visit them.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-22389935421399829342008-12-07T12:52:00.000-06:002008-12-07T12:52:00.000-06:00The story of the fire is heartbreaking.

I've never seen one like that.<BR/><BR/>We inherited our last dog from a friend who died and we weren't sure of what she knew how to do. On one of the first days we had her, she nosed the yard gate open and crossed the street to greet the neighbors in their own backyard. They laughed and went inside to start calling around to see who was missing a dog, leaving her in the yard.<BR/><BR/>They thought.<BR/><BR/>But she found their dog door and let herself in to be friends. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-88837427750195525322008-12-07T08:07:00.000-06:002008-12-07T08:07:00.000-06:00Thank you, Dru.
