I am sorry this happened and thankful the furbaby is fine but...really...can you not finally see the humor in this?!?!? I laughed so hard I almost lost my Post Toasties...
I took our first rescue pug Opie to a pug party in St. Louis. He got loose in the motel and here I am screaming chasing him. The motel staff are opening the doors to rooms they are cleaning, see Opie running towards them and then slammed the door shut in fear. I tried laying on the floor whimpering to get him to come to me...don't laugh, this sometimes works. But of course, this time it did not. I was terrified he would get on the first floor and out onto the street. Finally caught the little monster. But in retrospect, it now is really funny. :-D
