Lost

We have a rule around my house.  Our handsome stud, Knightly cannot be allowed outside to mess or play with any of the other dogs other than Emma.  Emma is calm and quiet and Knightly is young and full of energy and unneutered.  His hormones drive his energy even higher if allowed.  So he is not allowed to play outside with any of the younger dogs as this triggers his energy drive and before you know it, he has left.  Like in gone. Nowhere to be seen.  And taken an accomplice with him.  This morning that accomplice was Max, our tiny one year old under 20 pound Jack Russell who was accidentally let outside before someone realized Knightly was already outside and Max should not have gone out until Knightly came back inside from doing his business.

We are very worried about him and have been out scouring the woods across the road looking for them as this is their favourite spot to go gallivanting.

After 2 hours Knightly came trotting out of the woods and met Farm Girl on the road.  His feet were encased in frozen snow balls as the temps are -17 degrees Celsius.  I took him into the bathroom and hosed his feet down with warm water.

As for Max there still has been no sign of him after five hours.  I'm fearing the worst and praying for the best.  Hubby drove over to the neighbours surrounding the woods in case Max ventured out in the wrong area.  But the woods run a 200 hectares across and there is no telling where he'll end up.  And being such a small guy, we really aren't anticipating a happy ending.
