My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

Worried sick

Im on the verge of tears, as some idiot near where i live opened my locked gate and my Benji got out. He is my springer and despite looking for him for over 2 hours i can not find him. Ive phoned the police but they used said to phone the local station in the morning.

Benji is a fast dog so he could be any where, thankfully my dad came over and sat in the house while i looked, i went on all his usual walking routes calling his name but at 12.30 am ive had to admit defeat and come home. i was scared witless in the dark and im terrifeied that he may have been run over or something like that. God knows how im going to tell the kids at breakfast.

Ive been told to sleep but im just so wound up.

so i think i'll have a drink to try and relax me

Just to add he turned up at 3am, looking very frightened, he has a few deep scratches to his nose and ive cleaned them up , just incase they got infected. I suspect he may have been in to the woods and i was not brave enough to go through them in the pitch black. Im exhausted still from lack of sleep. I managed a couple of hours of kip after i came back from the school run this morning. I finally got the shopping in and took a cake over to my parents to thank my dad for coming over mine late last night.

An early night for me after a bottle of wine
