Ranger pet temporarily missing again?

I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen. Still getting the hang of the game, but this part really aggravates me because I don't know what I did to cause it.

Last night it happened for the first time, and now it's happening again this afternoon. I had my pet, he isn't dead though, that I am sure of. I even went to where I last had him and tried to res him, it just says he's too far away for the heal portion of that skill I guess is what it means.

We traveled to another town after doing a quest and when I enter into the next explorable area to quest, he's missing. Same thing last night, I hunted, went to town, went to another town and tried to quest.

Eventually he showed up, but I was zoning in and out of the town a lot trying to find him haha so I don't know quite what made him come back.

Is he still running from our last place I was at this afternoon or something? Do I need to stand around in the explorable area for him to find me or go back into town and wait for the little slacker? I just assumed I carried him while traveling.

I feel silly asking this, but I just don't know what I'm doing haha!

Rez your pet after he dies, and he will come back to you. If your entire party is wiped, it'll rez with you at a rez shrine. If you zone it'll come back to life once you zone into an explorable area..

Make sure you have charm animal on your skill bar..

Ohh!! Thank you, I had removed Charm Animal off my bar thinking I wouldn't need it since I already had a cat.

Yup, that fixes it thanks so much Soon as it's back on the bar, I zone out into uh.. wherever it is I am, and Smiley Fred is back haha

Thanks!
