I visited an animal control center recently and adopted a little dog before it was euthanized. There was a healthy looking fox terrier there and I asked them not to euthanise it because I would try to find a home for it. Well, the person who I found took another dog, so I went to get it myself, and took it to my mother's house (after the vet for shots etc) because I have not fence and she had a fenced in area and offered to keep it. Well, shortly after I delivered the dog to what I considered a wonderful little fenced in garden, it jumped over the wall and there's no sight of it. I feel stupid that I didn't think the dog could get over the wall. More to the point, I feel frustrated that I tried to help and now it's missing. I guess it would be already euthanised if I hadn't committed to taking it, but I just feel so useless and stupid.

Jane you gave him his freedom even just for a night or two.

My Jude lived for those nights she jumped the fence and **deleted sware word* off for the night.

Dont be too hard on yourself, you werent to know and some things are just meant to be.

agreed with Sue, you've given the pup a second-chance. perhaps he will return, or maybe even be adopted by "happychance."

Good news -- he was found in a neighbor's yard!

yay!

Im so glad, hope he knows which side of the fence his bread is buttered now
