velessaOur dog Bootsie is missing. Last night my mom let her outside to go to the bathroom, and she never came back. Normally she comes right back to the back step once she's done and scratches the door to be let inside. But she seems to have simply vanished...she's nowhere in the backyard and hasn't turned up anywhere in the neighborhood. Bootsie is a 20.5 year old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, so I'm wondering if she didn't just go off by herself to die somewhere; given her age that wouldn't surprise me. The other possibility would be she somehow got out of the backyard and got herself trapped someplace while taking shelter from the rain. All the other times she's gotten out (it happens frequently, she's so small she can easily fit through holes in the fence even though I try to keep them blocked) she's run around the court for a bit then come back to the front door. It's very, very odd for her to not come back at all; in fact it's never happened before. I'm a bit worried now.
