Wow, Vickie, that was scary to read. I can't imagine how you must have felt! I'm glad that you found your way and your dogs. I hope everyone is OK.

OMG... what an ordeal. I'm glad you got back Macon back. I hope she is okay and not confused.
House cats when they accidently leave a house will do the same. It's a scary feeling that your own baby could run away like that...
I am really glad that everything turned out okay and you made it home safely too.

That is one scary adventure story you've got there. I'm glad you and the pups made it back home safely. A good lesson for all of us that even a short, fun trip can turn "bad" in a hurry. I always carry my phone (much to my DH's relief) when I wander, because sometimes I wander too far; especially on my bike.
I'm really glad you're ok!!!

you're right- I didn't have my cell phone because we were so close to the cars, and my husband had his. I should have at least got his from him prior to setting off after the dogs; my cell phone was in the truck, and he could have used it if necessary. I also own a handheld gps- it was at home- once again, because we were only walking around this small wooded lot (this is in missouri- rocks, hills, and woods). I usually have high visibility hunting blankets on the dogs, as well as elastic collars with my phone number on them. None of these, because it was just supposed to be a quick walk due to the weather.
never again, I've learned my lesson not to get complacent about these things.
