well, crazy thing happened today. this morning zach let cooper outside to go potty and then went and got dressed for work- just like they do every morning. zach noticed a few weeks ago some of his work pants were starting to wear out so he had just put patches on them saturday night- so this morning he was "testing out" the strength of the patches ( that he put on himself!) and FORGOT to let cooper back inside and left for work. i of course had no idea and assumed cooper was still sleeping- as he usually dosent do much until at least noon- or later. around 12:30 i decided i would check the mail- which i do almost every day and cooper always goes with me to go potty again, so i open the door and say "come on lets check the mail and potty" like every day, but no dog shows up...so i check the mail alone and start feeling suspicious, where is coop?? i check his pillow by the slider door- no dog, i check his "doggy bedroom aka our wi closet- no cooper, i go down to the basement and check the couch and guestroom, no dog! then i got a little worried- i opened all the closets and doors wondering if he got stuck somewhere- the whole time im calling his name- suddenly i heard his little doggy cry so i call his name more but cant figure out where it is coming from because sawyer has began to protest being left alone by making loud chattering noises. now sawyer and i are on the hunt together upstairs, with him quiet i hear coopers cry again- i thought it was coming from the garage but when i opened the door he isnt there, just more crying. i open the front door and cooper comes flying crazily inside as if he has never been more happy in his life to be home- he picked up his bone and ran circles. i was in shock- trying to remember if i had let him out thinking there is no way he could have been outside since zach left at 7- but no, i hadnt let him out! and he hadnt been at the door when i got the mail- i think he must have been crying at the basement slider when i first heard him and then he ran to the front door when he saw me go back upstairs yelling his name- i cant believe he was alone outside for 5.5 hours and he didnt leave our yard!!! we have no fence whatsoever and acres of trees behind our house that he loves to explore but he knew better i guess. i have no idea what he must have done that whole time or if he went anywhere.. i didnt even know what to do when he came inside except give him a cookie and tell him good boy like i do every time he comes in.
