My dog, Princess is a 13 year old Jack Russell Terrier. She had her hyper moments (for about 10 years) and she’s gradually slowed down. Now she is lazy, mellow and sweet. I’ve had her since I was 10 years old.
Yesterday around 4:30 AM she started whining so I let her out in the backyard and went back to bed. At some point she dug under the gate and escaped. We patrolled the neighborhood and a few other nearby neighborhoods in the afternoon and again at night. I hoped she would come home for dinner last night but still no sign of her. We asked the neighbors to keep an eye out for her and I put fliers out at 7:00 this morning. I also put a notice on the Lost & Found section of the local Humane Society’s website. And I’m looking up the phone numbers for the shelters now. I think I’m doing everything that I can.
The awful thing is that I live between within a few blocks of 2 major streets and the Interstate. I don’t want to think… She’s not supposed to go like that… she’s supposed to die of old age…
I just want her to come back home…
