Saturday morning, SHE opened the car door for the dogs to get in, filled the water dish so it would be ready when we came home, opened the gate and headed off to the river, as usual.
As the Farmer's Markets were on, SHE stopped to purchase some Frangipane tarts and big German pretzels.
We were Very Near the river, when SHE noticed something was wrong.
One dog was missing!
Quickly, SHE made a U turn and headed all the way back home.
There was Bella sitting in the carport waiting.
After a few choice words, Bella was loaded into the car and we headed back to the river.
(Bella does not just get in the car, she has to make several circuits around it
and then gets in when she's ready.)

Yesterday, we found out from the man next door, that Bella chased the car up the road when we left--flat out.
Had all the neighbours trying to round her up--to help her,
but Bella doesn't like people so wouldn't come to anyone
but Bella doesn't like people so wouldn't come to anyone
or cooperate.
They finally gave up and Bella just went into the carport!

SHE was not happy.
Oh no! Poor Bella...and we guess poor mom who probably nearly had a heart attack! Glad all was well in the end.
ReplyDeleteWe are glad Bella came home. Bet it was a terrifying experience fur everyone.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness that Bella knew where to go to be safe. We don't even want to think of what could have happened. Now, Bella - no more of that stuff!!!
ReplyDeleteWoos - Phantom, Ciara, and Lightning
OMD Bella! SHE must have panic like hell...I can't side with you this time! But SHE must make sure to do a head count next time onwards.
ReplyDeleteWhew Bella, I'm glad we were safe and sound. Sorry SHE ran off and left you. I hope you poured on the guilt trip.

ReplyDeleteAlyssa, Mr. Fox & Scruffy
Oh man.... I'm so glad that nothing bad happened to you, Bella. It was a very smart move going back to the carport!
ReplyDeleteGood thing Bella isn't at RanchRunAMuck where she wouldn't be missed. They load 12 dogs into the car. 11, 12, what's the difference?
ReplyDeleteDear oh dear, how could SHE have been so negligent? Reminds Gail of the time she spent an hour running round the park searching for Hamish, only to find he had walked himself the quarter of a mile home and was waiting for her on the front doorstep!
ReplyDeleteOh Bella !

Thank Dawgness the neighbors were there to witness this horror. Who knows WHAT ... SHE might have tried to tell, otherwise. SHE is SO busted.
Give "HER" some Hot TONGUE and Cold SHOULDER fur HER supper!!!

Abandoned......omd.........poor Bella.
ReplyDeleteSHE drove off and left you - and didn't even notice you were missing!!! Well this calls for sharing of those pretzels we think...heck no sharing - you should get the whole thing !
ReplyDeleteMaybe Bella won't be so fussy about getting in the car now that she knows it will leave without her!
ReplyDeletePoor BELLA...... you will have Night SQUIRRELS over this fur like 87 weeks.
ReplyDeleteErnie is hiding BEHIND the Cliner Chair... shaking and shivering... beclaws he is TERRORIZED about what SHE might do to his ROXY.
WHAt the hay Bella???? WESA so happy you are safe and we bet your moms heart started racing fast when she realized yousa were not in hers car!!! Next time bark real loud if she tries to leave wif out you again.....
ReplyDeletestella rose
OMD! Bella, dear, we hope that you are not too traumatized! How could you have been left behind? We think that Frangipane Tarts and German Pretzels might make you feel better...just saying
ReplyDeleteEdgar and his mum
Oh Bella - how forgetful some peeps can be! Glad you're safe and hope your Mum has recovered from the shock of seeing you were missing. Take care - woofs and licks from Magic xx
ReplyDeleteBoy Bella I just am so upset for you. How could SHE leave you behind. I hope you got lots of love and treats. Good thing you knew to go home and wait.
ReplyDeleteBentley
Oh, poor Bella, getting left behind. So glad it turned out OK though!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
I know how serious this could have become but I am laughing at the thought of the car starting up and leaving without her. Teach Bella to fool around when the car door opens. Oh as the car took up speed Bella had to realize she wasn't catching it wonder what she was thinking. I would love to know.
ReplyDeleteSweet William The Scot

ReplyDeleterOOOO, Stuart
Oh Bella please stay by Momma's side. We don't want you to get lose.
ReplyDeleteOh my dawg. What is happening with these peeps. Thank goodness their heads are screwed on or they would forget them as well! You were a smart girl to go home Bella. Your neighbours are good peeps too as they tried to help you. Hope you got lots of treats for being left behind butt, we think your mum would have had a scare so don't be too hard on her! No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeleteOh Bella!!! You poor girl!!! You must have been utterly distraught that SHE left you behind. We hope SHE made it up to you.
ReplyDeleteWally & Sammy
Poor little Bella. Frightened out of her wits by being abandoned. Unable to run fast or far enough to catch the car. Then herded up by strangers, terrified. We think you need extra belly rubs and cuddles. And what was Roxy doing during this time? Was she telling yer Mom to stop quick get Bella? We are so glad everything turned out ok. Except maybe you will need therapy to work through your abandonment issues. Treat therapy comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteBonnie n Kenzie
Oh, Bella! I'm so sorry your peep forgot you! You make sure SHE feels guilty for a long time and give you extra treats!
ReplyDeleteOh Bella...it always happens to the good ones. My peep got left in the parking lot in church one time. It made her sad to hear you ran after the car and then she cheered when your pawsome peep came back to get her!

That is a very scarey story. Our Mom is always worried about something like that happening and counts us over and over again.
