Today Benton has already given me a run for my money, and it is only 8am! I was talking on the phone with my Mom this morning and eating breakfast outside on our covered deck, and I had Benton outside with me. I've done this a few times already, and he usually stays on the deck or barely goes down the steps to lay in the yard. Today, that was not the case. When I hung up the phone, I noticed there was no Benton. He was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!
I whistled and yelled, whistled and yelled, and whistled and yelled, but he did not show up. I became completely hoarse and called Kevin at work. Being the rational one in high-stress situations, he said that I should grab his bone toy that squeaks and go around the neighborhood. I did, and the new neighbors moving in across the street from us (that I have yet to meet because I want to make cookies to take over first) must have thought I LOST IT!
THANKFULLY, he heard his toy from wherever he was (at least two blocks away) and CAME HOME! His face is still wet from my tears.
Oh Benton, we love you so, but you gave your Mommy and Daddy such a scare! We have him micro-chipped, so we had that option, but I'm glad it never got that far.
