I took Mickey the pug outside yesterday morning to potty. Still dim out, sky barely lightening.
Turns out there was a stray black cat next to the house, which I did not see, but Mickey sure did. Zoom, he takes off after the cat, which flees.
By the time I made it around the house, both were gone.
I walked around the block looking for him, but when I got back he was waiting in the back yard.
Maybe he learned from the last time that staying out all night meant no food or water the whole time.
I didn't think had enough sense to find his way home.
