He hadn't seen her either. She was in the hallway!!!! Thank goodness she couldn't get out of the hallway, but if we had been in a house and didn't notice for half an hour that she was gone, I don't know what I'd do with myself.

OMG! I know just how you feel - that is exactly what happened, except that Layla was contained in the hallway. I just shudder to think what could have happened if Rex had not alerted me, or if I hadn't paid attention to him.

I know what you mean too, about not noticing they are gone. YOu would thnk you would notice right away, but sometimes I don't. That has happened before when I shut one of them in the bathroom - they DO NOT bark when they are trapped in a room, what is up with that! If they'd just bark, then I would know what I had done.
