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.

So glad you made it back and found all the dogs! That is a scary experience! I've been lost a couple of times - finally found my way at the end but it is very disconcerting and then to know you did not have one of your dogs too would be really scary.
That GPS is a must!

So glad things turned out the way they did! Getting lost is one thing but getting lost in a snow storm is another. I am glad you and the pups are safe and sound. Its time to remember the "girl/boy scout" motto of always be prepared. I am learning that the hard way quite often these days.
My Mom tends to walk on the beach by herself alot and doesn't carry ID or cellphone on her. I got her a RoadID for Christmas so hopefully she will wear it on her little jaunts.
Have a safe and happy holiday!
