No I'm afraid ours would be out!!
If Rupert sees an open gate or door, he's through it like a shot, and Teddy is the same :shock:
Cavaliers don't seem to have any sense of danger - I think they just love the World and everyone in it so much that they don't realise they could come to any harm.
Rupert disappeared one morning after breakfast - had been out in the garden and didn't come back in. Hubby and I went frantic, searched the garden, drove round the neighbourhood looking for him {He's deaf so there's no point in calling him}, went to his favourite neighbour to see if he'd gone there...she was very pleased to see us at 7.20am...fortunately she was feeding her hens!!
Couldn't find him...so we came back home to do another thorough search, and there he was, hiding behind a box in the upstairs bedroom
Oh boy had he given us a scare...
Another time I was out the front of the cottage, filling up the bird feeders and saw this gorgeous Cavalier walking up the road towards me...I couldn't wait for the owner to appear, we don't see many other Cavaliers here...and then realised it was Rupert!!! :lol: :lol:
Someone had left the garden gate open, and bless him he had come out and was walking back to the front door to get back in
Since he's been so poorly, he doesn't like going out of our sight, so doesn't go far if he does get out. Also we live on a very quiet road - if we see 4 cars a day, that's a busy day! There is also a nasty bend, so they go very slowly. The people who lived here before had a dog who roamed free {there's quite a few like that here} and their little boy {4} used to play out the front, so it is fairly safe.
I used to have Westies, and if you took them anywhere, they'd go round the garden testing the fences for gaps to get out...I've never known a Cavalier do that.
