The Great Escape

Last week I took Katie over to play at Ellie's in the morning. At around 10:00 I get a call from Jared saying someone called and said the dogs were missing and not in the backyard. I was in a meeting in So. Ogden and it was just finishing so I said I would go try and find them.

When I turned onto the street in front of Megan and Cody's house there was Ellie just strolling down the road, wagging her tail. I rolled down the window and called her so she followed me back to the house. I got her back in the back yard and closed the gate. I then started to call for Katie. I couldn't see her anywhere! As I was calling for her, Ellie comes strolling around the front of the house! What! How did she get out again?! I took her back in the yard a second time and this time when to check the other side of the fence. Sure enough, the other gate was wide open and I found out later it had been left open from the night before! (I'm sure those two had a blast being free all morning. What is funny is Ellie was in the backyard when I brought Katie over. Cody said he thought Ellie was waiting for Katie before she left the backyard. He said she probably knew Katie was coming and trouble is much more fun to get into with your friends! So true!) So, after closing the gate my next task was to find Katie! She will usually stay with Ellie if they get out so I was getting nervous.

She wasn't anywhere around Ellie's house so I though maybe she had gone back to our house, which is scary because she would have had to cross a really busy road! I drove over there and parked outside and started calling her! I couldn't see or hear her and I was getting really worried! She could be anywhere! I start walking around to the front of our house and what do you think I saw? There was Katie eating a chicken bone on the grass in front of our house. Classic Katie. Breaking out for the day and just getting some lunch in the trash. I couldn't help but laugh!

After she busted out at Ellie's she came home to enjoy some nice chicken bones on the grass. I took her inside for the rest of the day and headed back to work. I'm sure she curled up on the couch to digest her chicken bones and dream about running free and rummaging through peoples trash. Yep, that's my dog!
