Arrrgh, the nanny stole my dog!!! [solved!]

She went into the car while she was still holding the dog, and I tried to report the dog missing, but the game thinks it's still on the lot! Only it's not on the character menu anymore. But it still comes up on the menu when I select options like 'Rename pet'! How do I get the dog back?

How the heck did the nanny walk off holding the dog up in the first place?

The only thing I can think to try and solve this would be to move the family out of the house and back in again. If they own objects you don't want the family to lose then make sure you put them in a Sims' inventory first.

Okay, I've got the dog back! It turned up after my sim went to a community lot. It was a puppy, that's why the nanny was holding it. Nannies cause more bother than good.
