Lost pet?

We nearly lost choco one day.. she ran away with the kids to play and seeing her caretaker went away with him to his home. The children were so upset that she was lost and there was a huge drama on.. I was running around the whole neighborhood searching for her...and saw her caretaker bringing her back with him.. LOL. It was a short while before we found her but it was quite traumatic.. I can understand how people feel when they lose their pets. It was such a problem trying to calm down the kids.
