Excuse Me. Have You Seen Doodles?

@DianneN - We have lost sight of our "grandpets" when we have taken care of them. I worry for the pets, but I also don't want to upset our daughter! Fortunately, we have never lost one. (Whew!)

Our pets were always inside pets, so we only lost them when they decided to hide under a hutch or something. But mostly they were inside and fine. They are both gone now and I miss the hell out of them. Looks like Doodles was having a hoot of a time.

There he is - that Doodles ! Glad you found him! Well, one of my daughter's parakeets flew out the door . . . out of sight, never to be seen again . We will never make that mistake again and are more careful now - it's just sad we had to lose one to learn that lesson .

I'm glad you found Doodles. I have lost sight of a pet now and then. We have two squatter cats who live on our front porch and sometimes miss a meal but they always show back up. We have a big fenced in backyard our two dogs love to run in. Some of it is still heavily wooded and we can lose sight of them but can always hear their dog tags clinking.

Naughty naughty Doodles.

Doodles was exploring the "jungle."

Sounds like you live near a jungle? Once we lost a cat and were never able to find him again.

You must be nervous when you cannot see Doodles. But cats have a great sense of smell. They surely can find you.

They like to hide and scare us. I am glad you found him. This morning (for the first time) I have seen the new young kitten that the owners of Willy have collected at the shelter. He is lovely A shy ginger tabby, with big yellow eyes and a stucco nose. He approached a bit, but he is still suspicious. I know I am going to love him.

No, but I lost sight of my children one time and that was gut wrenching.

@DianneN I can understand why you worried about Doodles..There are times Sophie disappeared and I thought she ran away but she was hiding in the house. When there are too many people she cannot take it so has her own place that she be go to to be by herself. It is hard for her.

Silly Doodles... don't scare people like that by wandering ....

I am glad you found Doodles. Those 15 minutes would have been really tough.

That is funny, he likes women. Go Doodles! I am sure you were relieved to find him.

We have a fox that has lived down back of our property for years and years. I think he has a family actually though so there is likely more then just one. Coyote and bear are all over here. I have only gotten to see a bobcat once when I was driving it ran across the road. My boyfriend was hunting the other day and he saw little cat prints and bigger cat prints then when he followed them he saw a momma bobcat with cub. I would have loved to see that. Luckily the beagles weren't near at the time the bobcat would kill those little dogs to protect her babies. My boyfriend said he saw that happen once with one of their beagels when he was young The first thing I noticed was all the plants in the photo around Doodles. I was looking close at my screen and my son asked what can't you see the cat? Lol

what a naught cat ! He wasn't aware of being in danger. I have just searched the pachysandra online,which I haven't known.

Glad you found him. Bambi and Bunny both like to disappear on me at times. But they are usually out by the pond when they do.

I'm glad you found him. I had a dog who waited for the door to open long enough for her to dash out and roam the neighborhood for three hours. When I first got her, I would chase after her. She was impossible. She always came home. Then I had a gentleman walker. He never left the yard unless you went into the house without him. Then he would casually take a walk. I roamed the neighborhood looking for him. A couple of times I had to rescue him from the humane society, the little Rascal. My last dog didn't leave the yard, ever. This is Rascal - my border collie of 14 years.

He's playing hide and seek to you. Our goat always roaming around that my wife always looking for her.

No, I live in the village, so the cat's time runs out. They come alone where they want.
