Answer 1

awwww first off. thats really sad. im soooooo sorry.

I had kinda the same thing with my cat. just gone!

But listen.. its not your fault.

the first one was your dads.

not yours at all. and the second one was your friends fault.

When u do get another pet Maybe have someone close keep real

good care of it and be very careful with him or her.

its not your fault. dont worry.

:]

Answer 2

No, it doesn't seem to be. A lot of dogs just run away because...well, because, they have the option. My dog that I had a very long time ago ran away and got hit by a train. :( It is NO ONE's fault that they ran away. No comment about your dad's mistake, though. That should have been checked twice. But a GREAT tip is to get a BIG BIG dog(scary to other animals, but sweet to you.) It will ensure that he/she will not get eaten or fought by any other animal, because other animals would be scared of him.

Answer 3

nooo  

Answer 4

Not necessarily.. The first incident was an accident. The second is just uncalled for. A dog just doesn't disappear. If you are going to be out of town often I would not suggest that you own a dog or that you make sure the dog is able to travel with you. You definately needed to find a more responsible person to be looking after her.

Answer 5

It depends on how old you are.  If you are 18 or older, then you can't blame your dad for leaving the gate open or for leaving the dog with an irresponsible sitter.

Answer 6

you should get a fish, something that no one really cares about,  try getting a rabbit or fish they dont really run that far..... and you can replace them easily and they dont take much to look after

Answer 7

The first  inccident wasnt your fault.The second one,well,how long were you away?Maybe she missed you and went in search for you,or she might be stolen or just ran off.With- out knowing anything about you I  don"t know.Dogs dont like being left behind for long periods of time,I know that much.They bond with thier oweners,if thier good oweners.I dont like the fact that you keep them in a cage.You may need to see how other people treat thier dogs and learn if theres  a problem with your treatment. Find out a bit more about thier care and needs before you get another one.I wont judge you because most people learn thier ways from thier parents,who often know little or nothing themselves,mine included.Thats why YOU need to learn for yourself.Good luck if you try again.

Answer 8

Yes, I think it's your fault. You seem to select irresponsible dogsitters. What does "release her in the morning" mean? Release where?  

Answer 9

If you have a dog you are responsible for it not anyone else. You need to leave it with someone who is responsible and won't let them get out. Choose wisely who you have look after your pets or don't have them!

Answer 10

Nope, dont worry about it.

You should get fish, they dont run away :D lol

Answer 11

That's not your fault at all, that is just unlucky

Answer 12

no...dont be sad...get GLAD  :p

Answer 14

Well no obviously you can answer for yourself. Were they your dogs. If they were doesn't seem like you really care that one went in to Coyote territory, and one got lost. Maybe you should find responsible people to take care of your pets.
