Murry and Autumn go a roaming...

Things have been super busy for us so I haven't been able to get on to update. But, had to share a funny story.

When I arrived home yesterday evening, the dogs were their usual excited selves...wanting to go out to go to the bathroom. I took them out and noticed the were sniffing around our yard a lot. When we got back in the house, Murry immediately sat down next to the water bowl. I filled it up and both dogs ran over to drink (I thought this was a little odd--they weren't usually that excited for water!).

We went about our evening and a little later one of our neighbors that lives up the street came by. Apparently we left our back door partly ajar yesterday morning so the dogs managed to open the door (Murry definitely knows how to use his nose). The dogs had quite the time running around the neighborhood. They didn't have their collars on so we are lucky they didn't run away. Both dogs were so excited to be out (sadly, we don't exercise them like we should) that there was no way they were willing going to come up to our neighbor when she saw them by her back yard. She bravely decided to use her beagle as "bait" and took him out to the open field by our house. Both of our dogs came charging up to the beagle and thankfully just sniffed him. Our neighbor managed to get the leash on Murry (there was no way Autumn was getting close enough for that). She took Murry into our house and Autumn followed.

We are so thankful our neighbor took the time to do this for us! And, obviously, we've learned you just never know what your pets may be up to during the day when you are not around... (We double and triple checked all the doors were shut and locked this morning!)....
