(She gets out every once in a while, explores for a few minutes and comes back and scratches at the door.)
When we noticed she was gone , I went outside and called for her.
and called.
and walked around and called.
and sent the boys out on their bikes to call and look.
C, was the hero! After 2 hours of calling and looking, he spotted the sign.
FOUND and a picture of Lucy.
A good Samaritan"rescued" her. Crossing the road. In front of my house. Heading home.
oops!
At least we found her and she was safe.
