I'm sure you're relieved and overjoyed to see her.

(3,305 posts)6. Horrible thought, right?
I have a 17 year old pup that I'm about dying in his sleep. (Then he runs around like a puppy.)

(129,727 posts)5. Years ago my cat slipped out the back door and took off in subzero weather
and was gone for six days. We tried to follow his tracks in the snow with no luck - soon we were frantic and feared he'd frozen to death, but one morning he turned up at the back door with dried leaves in his fur and very hungry. He stuffed his face and then went to sleep on a radiator, with no explanation. He probably holed up under a porch somewhere but we'll never know. He never ran out again.

Give her some scritches from me.

little escape artist is safely home. Hugggs to you both.
