I tried to keep my cat in, thought it was a little cruel to keep it cooked up inside all the time and after so many escapes I thought it would be better to just leave her to it. She never goes far and spends most of her time in the next door neighbours garden, she seems to like it because it's fenced off and full of bushes she can hide in.
I lost my dog one night, a particulary heavy storm blew the side gate open and there was no trace of him the next morning, he was by no means a small dog either. I got him as a pup from a friend when I was about 8, he was really getting on by the time that happened so I was already expecting to lose him within a year or two, I just can't fathom out where he could have got to.
Worst story I heard happened to one of my neighbours, there was a string of burglaries going around (people travel down from Dublin and target more isolated areas) and his house got hit, it was a pure bred so he assumed it was stolen, didn't give a **** about his belongings he just wanted his dog back. Found it 2 days later in a terrible state with all four legs broken, ended up putting it down. People can be cruel ****ers.
