Since as far back as I can remember I have always been a pet person. One year my christmas list had 15 items on it and 10 of the 15 were a dog. I love cats and dogs, I even had fish at one point. So that is why I can take claim to 6 pets at this current moment. 3 dogs and 3 cats. Now 2 of the dogs live with my parents who have a bigger back yard and the other dog is technically my sisters but we share him. 1 of the cats is the very first "pet" that I had and still lives with my parents because she is to old to move and the other 2 live with me and my sister.
5 of the 6 pets are currently at my house after a crazy evening of dog hunting that ended up back at my house. Now my parents live less than a mile down the road and when the dogs still lived here we walked there often so they know the way to and from.
I have been saying for weeks that they needed to come visit because they missed their home but with the ice storm our fence was in no shape to hold them in. Well the dogs decided for themselves today. They some how managed to find their way back home. After almost 30 minutes of driving around I decided to circle back by the house just in case. Out in the road darts my dog Alex. Now I have always teased that these weren't the brightest dogs in the world but apparently I was wrong. They found their way back again. It's my own mini version of Homeward Bound.
I'm just glad that they came back and are not missing but it is crazy that they show up at the place they used to call home.
