I bet you would know when they were doing something out of character. I think that's what they do to get you attention - something different. Rex never whines - so that was out of character and it caught my attention.

Wow, way to go Rex! It's a good thing you noticed him acting strange. Layla darts out the door sometimes, and it scared me to death when we lived on a busy street. Yesterday actually I came home from a couple of hours at work and everything was hectic with Scott working on the kitchen. After about half an hour I said "Hey, where's Layla?" He hadn't seen her either. She was in the hallway!!!! Thank goodness she couldn't get out of the hallway, but if we had been in a house and didn't notice for half an hour that she was gone, I don't know what I'd do with myself.

OMG! I know just how you feel - that is exactly what happened, except that Layla was contained in the hallway. I just shudder to think what could have happened if Rex had not alerted me, or if I hadn't paid attention to him.

I know what you mean too, about not noticing they are gone. YOu would thnk you would notice right away, but sometimes I don't. That has happened before when I shut one of them in the bathroom - they DO NOT bark when they are trapped in a room, what is up with that! If they'd just bark, then I would know what I had done.

Rex is a hero for sure It is so scary, I have a gate by my foyer so Gucci cannot get out.. With these little ones we have to be so protective of them. I am so glad to hear that you had a happy ending.. extra treats to Rex!

What a good boy Rex is!!! Steak for supper, Mommy?

I know what you mean about when they are acting out of character. I read somewhere that dogs never do anything without a reason. That stuck with me, and it is true.

All's well that ends well!

TG Rex is so alert and knows when something is wrong!!!
What a good boy he is!!
