Sadly, one of our dogs took off this morning and has not returned. Out of our two dogs, this one is the one who tends to stick closer to the house. We had a light dusting of snow, and I tried my best to follow the tracks I could find. I also drove up and down our road multiple times in hopes of finding him. Last night Hubs and I had been discussing putting the dogs down once the ground was thawed enough for burial. In spite of having a doggie door, their incontinence had been increasing. I know, gross. I would have much preferred to have put him down rather than not know of his last moments. But, perhaps indirectly, this is easier on Hubs as he was having a tough time with the situation. Meanwhile, although I had other plans for today, I’m staying home in hopes that he does return.
With my mind being so much on our missing dog, I feel very unfocused today. I’ll update if he returns.
I feel what you’re going through. Every dog and cat parent understands. Take care.

Thanks.
I hope you find him and he’s ok.
Thanks. No sign of him yet. 🙁
I’m so sorry. Hope your dog finds his way back. They’re like our children – so it really hurts. 😥
Still no sign of him. I feel terrible.
I am so sorry. I hope he comes home soon
Thanks. I’ve been looking and calling for him all day.
Oh, I feel bad for you! I know this may not comfort you, but we had a dog near the end of life disappear also. I think sometimes they do know their time has come.
Thanks. I’ve heard that can happen and as much as I hate to think it, I’m wondering if this is the case. He has been a tired old boy. 🙁
I am so sorry – I wish there were something profound I could say to make you feel better but I just don’t know what it would be. I guess we have to focus on what a wonderful life they had with us and how much they added to our lives!! We have my “old man” kitty who is 20 now and looks like a skeleton and I’m just waiting for that day too. No matter how much we expect it, it is always hard!!! Keeping you and he in my prayers!!!
Thanks, Sue. You are right. Times such as these it is best to focus on the good times. Praying for your “old man kitty” as well.
Oh, I’m so sorry about your poor dog. It’s so hard not to know where/how he is. Internet hugs to you {{{}}}.
Thank you. Sadly, he didn’t come home. Such unusual behavior for him. I just pray he didn’t suffer.
Sorry to hear about your dog. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you, Maise. I am completely sick about it.
Did you find him? I’m sure you are worried sick about him 🙁
Unfortunately, no. I am heartbroken.
