    If your dog goes missing…

    Recently, my dog just up and ran out my front door. I freaked out, because he only goes outside on a leash and I was scared he might run out into the street and get hit by a car. Fortunately, he apparently only needed to take a leak, because he ran out, peed on my tree, and ran back inside.

    Elaine Vigneault has an awesome list of things to do if your pet goes missing. My favorite, and one I would never have thought of:

    Put something really smelly on your porch. A bag of dirty laundry, a dirty litter box, anything that smells like your home. Your pet could be wandering the neighborhood, catch the scent, and find his or her way home. I know it’s gross, but if it works, it’s worth the odd looks from your neighbors.

    I would have to put my dirty underwear on the front porch, my dog LOVES my dirty underwear enough to dig through the hamper for them. It’s quite disturbing.

    Head on over to Elaine’s for the rest of the great tips.

    This happened to me. Garage door was open and my dog was gone all night. I put up signs everywhere. She ended up wandering by my house 12 hours later and someone called me off my sign. She followed my dog which ended up sitting at my front door.
