Dog question..

[ironglow]

As I reported earlier, I have been keeping an old dog at my house, just so she could live out her years  in comfort.
  She always had a habit of running off when she got a chance..but she would usually return after a half hour or so..  Well 2 Saturdays ago, she ran off, and hasn't been back since.

  She had been a bit restless, wanting to stay to stay out, even in in the coldest weather.  It was 5 degrees F when she left and I haven't seen her since.

  Some folks have told me that some dogs when they get old, will often leave home to seek out a place to die.
   
  Have you ever heard that said before ?

I have heard that, but have never seen it. Do you have close neighbors that might have taken her in?

I've wondered about that dog ever since you mentioned it a couple of weeks ago.

No, every old dog I ever had laid down on my back  porch  to die .

Haven't seen hide nor hair of her since then.  My son thinks perhaps she was taken in, but if so it would seem I would have heard something by now, since the local dog warden has the info and I did place it on a local sharing page on Youtube.
  However, if somebody has taken her in and truly likes her, I hope she is happy and comfortable in her new home..

our last lab loved our pond. It was his favorite place and is where we found him dead. I wonder if that dog had a favorite place at its last home and decided to head out to find it.
