One of my dogs dug a hole under the fence and ran away
I haven't seen him since 2:00 this afternoon (it's now 11:30pm).
I asked people in my neighborhood to keep an eye out for him and walked around most of the afternoon calling his name... nothing.
He doesn't even have his tags on him cause they fell off (i found them). He is micro-chipped but that has no guarantees. I'm just so worried about him... he's not even a year old

The skateboarder is via my 13 year old son. I am very computer challenged. I asked him to find a picture... this is what I got. Very fitting as I am leaping into better shape!!!

Oh no! I feel for you, Stina...Keep looking, keep calling...I'd suggest even driving around the neighbourhood and calling out for him. Dogs can travel very far...Here's hoping he returns home soon!

Oh, Stina, what a heartwrench.
To echo Suesue, whip up some pic-posters and start plastering the neighborhood--and then some. Check all the local vets/animal shelters if you haven't already. If you have a community radio station, then call and ask if you might be able to get some air time. Use your computer to record a :15 or a :30 and see if they'd mind running it for you for free. Same thing for a local paper, if there's one there.
And don't forget to ask that big ole Universe to send him back to you.
Take care, ma belle. The lil guy's likely having a helluvan adventure/already a daddy, it's that time of year and that scent might be just what lured him out.
Is he fixed?
Again, sorry...

Glad things worked out for you! I would be so afraid if my dogs got out someone would snatch them up for their own!! Thankfully that didn't happen to you!

I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...
diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com
I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)
I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!
I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?
Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.
I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.
Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

One Year 19 Lbs lost.
For December 07 to December 08 the job is to lose another 17 lbs.
-- Coming up for nearly a year of Traineo. 22 lbs lost, 13 to go!
What a year! I want to thank Traineo and it's members, and my doctors and friends, and gym, and my walking and running training partner -- my dog -- who all have have been a big part of my recovery from a bad case of pneumonia last August, from high blood pressure in May and June, and support through herniated cervical discs in July August and the present.
Somehow, its been possible to keep the faith and keep going through the neck and arm pain, but even on some of those bad pain days, getting the exercise at the gym, on a C25K run, on a bike ride, or in the surf helps make it bearable.
A year ago -- at least sports-wise, for life is altogether another thing -- I was losing my sense of identity as a surfer and windsurfer, gaining a sense of identity as a cyclist, a runner, 9 months later reentering the surf, losing my ability to ride ... things came and went between hospital visits.
At times, all those things were stripped away -- and just to be able to walk down the block was an accomplishment. There were recoveries and sometimes just advil and bullish efforts.
It's good to be back in the surf and on the bike sometimes, neck/shoulder/arm pain notwithstanding.
My thoughts go out to all those Traineo members out there fighting their own health and spiritual battles...you know we are here in this small way.

Great news. Me and my dog are happy for you.
Some breeds of dogs are incrediblle burrowers they can dig under fenes no problem.
They do it once they will do it again.
Try to find out what your options are for etending some sort of barrier lower into the ground. In the mean time watch out.
My dog has doena lot of work already finding neighbors' escaped pooches. Sometimes the same one multiple times (one of his girlfriends I guess).

The moment he walked in the house he went for his water bowl and literally sucked it dry, I put more water in and almost sucked it dry again! Poor guy... he just lied around all quiet (trust me, NOT him at all) for a while but now he's back to normal.
