Long story short, but some friends were watching my two dogs, and Friday morning they both got out and were only able to get one to come back. After searching for 3 hours (hadn't left town yet) and absolutely no sign of her, I reluctantly gave up. Anyway, got in town Sunday evening, and yesterday started by posting her on missingpets.com and visited the Indianapolis animal shelter to see if she had been turned in. She had not. At Bible study last night, I asked my group to pray for my dog and I. This morning, I received an e-mail from someone watching on missingpets.com, she said she was off today, and would look for her and I thought that was so nice.
Anyway, got a call this morning, and a family and next door Aunt about a mile from where my dog was lost had found her! When I arrived, their Aunt (Rosemary) was kneeling down, comforting my dog until I had arrived. They had given her food and water and a comfortable place to sleep last night. She had been missing for four days, and was covered in burrs, but not at all injured...just shaking becuase she was so scared.
Too often we hear about how bad people treat each other and our furry friends, but I was so inspired at the outpouring of support from complete strangers, I immediately was reminded of my AP family.
I was struggling and hurting so much, I couldn't bear the thought of sitting down and typing out to all of you the pain I was feeling. I am so glad that pain has turned into joy and can share it with you.
Loony, Oceanbum: You may remember from the Cincinnati pond tour...this is the same dog...I was going to Cincinnati last weekend...and it was Labor Day weekend, again!!! The coincidence was certainly uncanny!!!
