Olive runs away... Olive comes home

We had a scare last Saturday night. Kim, Bryan, Andrew and I went swimming at our friend's house in S.E. Fresno and decided to bring Chuck and Olive along. We were not aware that there was a small space under the fence. The escape artists that they are, Chuck and Olive found this hole and set out on a little adventure. They have gotten out a few other times and have always stayed together. This was our hope because earlier that day Olive's collar broke, I got her a new one but it was too small so she was collarless for the night. We searched and searched for them and about an hour later I found Chuck running across the field around their house. Olive was no where to be found. Now I started to worry, without a collar there was no way we were going to get her back. After searching some more, we went back, had dinner, and then headed home for the night. I was far more upset and emotional than I thought I would be. I knew she was gone forever. It was so sad that night getting into bed and not seeing Olive in her bed. The next day Andrew made flyers and I went to put them up. I stopped by our friend's house to give them a few flyers to pass out. Not two minutes after I left their house did Candi call my phone to tell me that Olive had just snuck back into their backyard. She must have heard or seen my car and came looking. Totally filthy and scared after wandering all night I couldn't believe that Olive was coming home.
