Thank god I found them
« on: October 29, 2007, 10:21:14 PM »
Hi All,

Yesterday I came home to an open back gate and an empty back yard.

'Trying' to keep my cool I quickly got the race car out onto the streets and drove around asking anyone if they had seen two black cockers. After a couple of bum steers and one hour later I found them just around the corner from my place (I had driven past there 10 times already) and they were happily playing with another dog and its walker.

When I saw them I managed to swing the car around and pull up in the street next to them. Rommel saw me first and sprinted over for a hug and brocky casually trotted over in his style to say gday. Both tails wagging.

I then had to wrestle them back home with no leads or anything then drive around with Rommel to call off the army of kids in the area I had searching for me.

Thankfully it had a happy ending but I was pretty worried for a while. Glad they stayed together too.

Did some investigating and asked around some of the neighbours and it seems some school kids bang the fence in the back lane to set the dogs off and must have opened it. I have it padlocked today. It is impossible to open it although I can picture Rommel on Brockys shoulders reaching up to the latch in some crazy scheme.

Lucky daylight saving has just kicked in or I would have been home later and finding them two in the dark would have been impossible.

Cheers

Damian

Oh my that must have been a scary moment or two. Gkad they are both ok, and sweet that they have bonded so quickly. Make sure you keep the padlock key out of their reach  :005:

Rommel has his own set of keys dont worry.

I wouldnt be surprised to come home finding the lotus parked on the wrong side of the garage with the tyres still smoking with Rommel sitting over the other side of the yard casually reading the doggy times...upside down.

Glad it was a happy ending and that they are both back home safe and sound.

Hope they don't find out how to escape again - hide their keys  ;)

They do stick together. In fact, in a desparate attempt to win Mrs Bridges heart over that of Byron, he managed to convince Brocky to pose as a cow with Rommel milking him.

I guess this was to prove to Mrs B that he would be good on the farm...

Heart stopping isn't it!  :o

A couple of weeks ago I stupidly left the gate open, something I never do, then blithely let the dogs out. After a time the quiet got a bit suspicious so I looked out to see the open gate  >:D

Like you, I found Joy and Bracken just up the street looking very pleased with themselves  "See mum, we can go for a walk by ourselves!"  :P :005:

I dont know who followed who but I dare say Brocky was the ringleader.

Its funny about how I noticed them missing as the silence was deafening when I got home. Normally Rommel is carrying on that I have been home for almost a full minute and havent played with him yet so whats the hold up...
