I Lost my Dog Today

I called him.  I went out back, I went in his room, I went out front.  I got in the car and drove around calling his precious name.  I finally convinced myself, he was either lost, stolen, or dead.  I ran in the house to call animal control, and found him looking at me.  He was in the dining room, staring at me like wasn't I the dumbest owner he's ever loved. 

I don't know how I didn't see him, but wouldn't it have been nice, if he came to me when I called him?

This is kind of funny but sad at the same time, I'm so sorry you had to go through that, thinking he was lost but I'm glad he's found

I thought all kinds of things. It's amazing how much you love them.
Marci M. Apr 2, 2009, 1:09pm EDT
Wow that would be scary. I'm so glad you found him!
Teresa A. Apr 2, 2009, 1:09pm EDT
Pets can mess with our heads fairly easily!
Rae M. Apr 2, 2009, 1:10pm EDT
I am sure that was very scary. Glad he was home where he belonged
A k. Apr 2, 2009, 1:11pm EDT
I've been there looking for a lost animal.
Glad you found him
Michelle W. Apr 2, 2009, 1:11pm EDT
Sounds a lot like my dog Jethro. He would rather lay there, usually on my bed, ignoring me than to come when called! LOL
Nora Davenport Apr 2, 2009, 1:12pm EDT
Oh wow, that must have been terribly frightening......I would have panicked! Thankfully, though, he was safe, at home....bet you were both mad and relieved!!!!! Yes, pets are a very important part of our family, that's for sure!

My heart sank when I first read this! I know how much your dog means to you. Bad dog for making you worry so! Good dog for being there to comfort you.
Sandra H. Apr 2, 2009, 1:15pm EDT
Happy to hear he wasn't lost after all!
Bryan B. Apr 2, 2009, 1:20pm EDT
Pets are just like children to some of us. Glad you found him!
karen h. Apr 2, 2009, 1:21pm EDT
i would have been frantic too
Renee S. Apr 2, 2009, 1:26pm EDT
That is kinda funny. My heart would have been racing.
Steph-in-NE ..... Apr 2, 2009, 1:31pm EDT
that is good see dogs can play April fool too
Jennifer O. Apr 2, 2009, 1:32pm EDT
Maybe he doesn't come because he thinks he is a cat? :-)
Glenna J. Apr 2, 2009, 1:32pm EDT
our pets are just wonderful, aren't they?
Glenna J. Apr 2, 2009, 1:33pm EDT
I love Jennifer O's comment
LOL... I'm glad he's OK!
Kelly K ~ ready for the New Year ~ Apr 2, 2009, 1:35pm EDT
this is funny and serious. WHY do pets do this? Our cat Nala does this to me all the time.
Glad He was not lost.
Daf W. Apr 2, 2009, 1:39pm EDT
haha that's kinda funny, but i can imagine the scare! glad to hear he's safe and sound :~)
J F. Apr 2, 2009, 1:43pm EDT
Get's the old heart going, huh? Sometimes I think that is their little way of playing a joke on you.
necee t. Apr 2, 2009, 1:57pm EDT
oh wow, i'm sooo glad your dog is ok... what a scare... Blessings ....
Mrslisae Photography E. Apr 2, 2009, 2:01pm EDT
ROFL Sugar Boo does this to me ALL the time! Glad I'm not the only, how'd you put it?
dumbest owner he's(she's) ever loved.
*Carol ~Bronx Southern Belle D. Apr 2, 2009, 2:06pm EDT
After I found him, I felt like killing him, but I gave him a hug until he start to romp around my carpet with his 115 pounds of furry body.
Jennifer N. Apr 2, 2009, 2:30pm EDT
LOL silly dog, but it had to have been quite the scare.
Erinn K. Apr 2, 2009, 2:43pm EDT
Aww thats crazy!!
Elizabeth H. Apr 2, 2009, 3:08pm EDT
Maybe he thought it was a game? Maggie will just ignore me sometimes, I know she hears me. She just finishes whatever she is doing, usually sniffing the grass, then comes to me.
tammie p. Apr 2, 2009, 3:23pm EDT
he was playing hide n seek
Mooch -. Apr 2, 2009, 7:04pm EDT
glad you found him, I would have gotten paranoid. I get paranoid when my cat, Smokie, goes into hiding, and I can't find her, she shows up, eventually but I always fear the worst.
Glad it worked out in the end and you found your pet unharmed, and safe.
I'm glad he wasn't really lost!
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Apr 5, 2009, 7:00pm EDT
Lol..thats to funny.

Glad to hear the little bugger was just hiding on you instead of really missing. my Max will do the same thing. At times I panick thinking he got loose and was eaten by an alligator.
