Kiara Is Home!!!

[Kfamr]

SHE IS SHE IS!

Dad came in about a half hour ago, woke me up, and said "look who I got!!!"

She has been all alone since Monday. Last night we searched a neighborhood from 7pm-2am because a guy called us saying that he cornered her but she took off running.

This was while my dad and I were in the neighborhood OVER and had no clue. We figured we'd stop by the house to see if we had any calls/updates and we called the guy back. He said my brother spotted her and she was limping, but would not come to him (she's always been a bit afraid of him.) So, after 45 minutes or so when my dad and I got the message we sped over there. We searched and searched the area, put food and water and shirts where my brother last spotted her. We put fliers on every mailbox in that area. We got home at about 2:30am and I zonked out.

Then I woke up from the nightmare and there was Kiki on my bed and dad saying "Kay look who I got!!!"

She's given us all kisses over and over again.. she NEVER ever gave kisses before.

You can tell she hasn't ate (which was the first thing I did, fed her a bit of food.) She is much skinnier than before, she has a few red bumps in her ears, her lips are RAW, paws a bit torn, and she has a few prickers that I pulled out. Overall, she looks okay.. no "serious" injuries. First thing she did when I took them outside was grab the tennis ball that I threw in the pool Tuesday among one of my insane moments. Then when she came inside she grabbed the red hand ball (that joined me in many of ym crying sessions) and started playing with it.

Anyways... SHE IS HOME SHE IS HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be ever so happy in our journey today taking down all of our posters. :)

We will be calling the guy (who even went out late last night to look for our girl) the reward.

[sanford8916]

[RobiLee]

Oh My! Tears of happiness here! I am so very very happy for you, Kay. What a relief! She certainly looks like she has lost a few pounds and I hope her little raw lips aren't causing her any pain. Gosh, I wish I was there to give her a hug. I'm sure you have hugged her lots but make sure you tell her one of them is from me.


Welcome Home, Sweet Kiki!!
Lots of hugs and tailwags from Robin, Katie and Tori.

[gemini9961]

YAY!!!!!!!!

I am so happy and so relieved. I have thinking about you and Ki non-stop this week as everyone else has too. This is such great news Kay. Ki gave kisses......... :D :D .........she was so happy to be home, maybe you will get more kisses now. Can't wait to hear how it all played out and where she was, when you get the chance of course. Poor little girl hadn't eaten, I bet she's glad to be back home with some good food and warm bed and with her Mom of course. Good girl Ki staying safe and making it home. We missed you and are happy to see you back.

Amber

[Kfamr]

We're heading to the vets right now to get her checked out. Dr. M. is pretty booked today but he said whenever we can get her in he'll check her out for us. :D

[RubyMutt]

Thank goodness! I am so happy I am in tears! Wonderful news! :D Welcome home, Kiara! :D

[Husky15]

This is the best news ever! Tears started to come once I saw the thread! Welcome home Kiara!

[sasvermont]

I will go back and re-read the original posting saying she is safe and sound.

Kay, we are all so happy for you. Really.

Now, let's give that Kiki a good talking to.......................

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Kiki)))))))))))))))))) ))))) (((((((((((((((Kay))))))))))))) :D

[Bengalz]

Oh Kay, how nice to have LES caused by joy... I bet you can hear the sighs and feel the smiles coming from all over the world for you and your girl right now. Thank that guy from all of us please, he just earned himself an honored place in PetTalk :D


AMEN to that!!!! :D :D :D

Kay I couldn't be happier for you and Kiara - that must have been the scariest week you have ever had baby girl.

Thank God she's home and safe :D Everyone can breathe a big sigh of relief and walk around with stupid smiles on their face all day :D Can't think of a better way to spend my Saturday :)

Thank You Kay for GREAT NEWS!!!

Hugs to you and Kiara and your Dad and your brother and The Guy and ..... all of PT for yet another successful recovery :D

[zoey]

Poor Kiara must have been so scared. :(
It's been an emotional drain on you all, I'm sure.
Hopefully you guys can take a big sigh of relief and just enjoy each others company today. Bless you for all your efforts to find her. What a happy day!! :D :D :D

[MajesticCollies]

Best news I'll hear all day. So glad your baby is home. Welcome back Kiara!!!:D

[4 Dog Mother]

Thank you, God! I am so glad that Kiara is back in your arms where she belongs. She is just so beautiful of a dog and your pictures, stories, tricks and videos of her have made her become one of the most loved pets on Pet Talk. We all are relieved that she is back home after a week of worry from so many of us.

Welcome home, KiKi!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

OMG, Kay, I am so thrilled and have happy leaky eye syndrome.

You can definitely see how skinny she is, but more importantly, you can see how her tail was wagging a million miles a minute. :D

I'm just so happy your little girl is home safe and sound. :D

[Catty1]

I don't know who is happier - Kiara or you!

I am so glad it worked out after all you did! Hug that puppy for me!

:D

[Dorothy39]

I just knew "Kiara" would come back home!!!! And, I prayed that she would return to her family, Safe and Sound!!! ~~~~ I know that every Pet Talk Member ~~ Prayed right along!!!!!~~~~~~


My favorite portion of your post : Your Dad woke you up, from a Nightmare, saying "Kay, Look Who I've Got!!!!!" :eek:

Dreams Really Do come True!!!!!!!!

[Toby's my baby]

Yay!!! I'm so happy she is finally home safe! I'm so glad she's home! Welcome back Kiki!!!

[K9soul]

Tears of joy here, I can hardly think of any appropriate words. Oh thank God. Kay I wish I could give you the biggest hug. You and Ki be sure and get some rest this weekend :). Wish I could find the words to express how very, very happy and relieved I am for you! What a phenomenal feeling!

[shais_mom]

from the bottom of my heart Kay - I am very glad Kiara is home!

[Karen]

Yay! Yay! Footsore and hungry, maybe but HOME!!!!

[dogzr#1]

This is great news Kay! I am sooo happy for you! When I first logged onto here, I thought that Kiara was still lost and I actually felt a bit sad about being here, not being able to help and all, but then I saw the thread that Kiara was home and I actually squealed with delight (much to the displeasure of my step-dad. he came rushing in wondering if I was alright). I can't even imagine how happy you are! (((((HUGS)))))

[lizbud]

Thank you, God! I am so glad that Kiara is back in your arms where she belongs. She is just so beautiful of a dog and your pictures, stories, tricks and videos of her have made her become one of the most loved pets on Pet Talk. We all are relieved that she is back home after a week of worry from so many of us.

Welcome home, KiKi!


I am so excited I can hardly think of words right now, but this is just
about right. :D Thank you God for bringing this sweet girl back home to
her family. :) Big hugs & a million kisses little Kiara. Welcome home. :)

[pitc9]

OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!
The power of PT prayers work wonders once again!

Kay... I wish I could be with you right now and wrap my arms around you and Kiara right now!!!
I know how it feels to have your pup back after being gone (mine were not gone as long as Kiara)
I'm so happy for you all!
Oh Kiara.... {tears} I've never been so happy to see your cute little face!

Great news! I've got tears in my eyes. Sounds like she had a rough adventure. Hopefully she won't want another adventure for a long time.

Could not have more happier news. :D

[cloverfdx]

Yaaaaahooooooooo!!!!!!

Oh Kay i am bawling my eyes out here, i am so happy that you have been reunited... and never doubted for a moment it would not happen. Enjoy the next couple of days with your girl, and give her a giant hug from me.

:D

[Vela]

I was just waking up and sat down at my computer. Jessica told me "Kiara is home!" so that woke me up. I had to come here and just tell you how happy I am for you and Kiara. I know this has been an absolute nightmare but it's over now and she is home safe. I have tears in my eyes, I know how happy you all must be. It's just hard to say how happy I am for you! Big hugs to you all.

[flamepony12]

Awww, I'm so happy for you, Kay! Welcome home, Kiara :D

[Corinna]

Thank God shes home!!! I hope that she checks out ok. So glad the man found here and called even if she ran from him. Sounds like he needs the reward and a HUge thank you. Kiki no more adventures.

[luvofallhorses]

OMG! yay!!! :D I am so happy for you, Kay! :D Welcome home, Kiara!!!!! :D

[Husky_mom]

i had to steal hubby's palm and what do i get...GREAT NEWS....awesome I knew shed come back mayor hugs to all....you've been rewarded for your awesome devotion to her. now rest and have a great weekend......hugs....

[Miss Z]

This is great news! Welcome home Kiara, and I'm glad that this ordeal is now over :D

[Pembroke_Corgi]

That is fantastic news!!!!!!!! I'm glad your family is finally reunited. Poor little Kiara, I'm so glad she's safe now!

[Kfamr]

Kiara checks out "okay." Nothing showed up in her fecal, he did a few tests. He said he thinks most of it is just from trauma, bugs, the woods, etc. He gave us some dewormer for the next 3 days just incase.

We stopped by the natural dog food place on our way home. She shoplifted a few times. :p We needed food so we got food, 4 bags of treats, and a waterproof/reflective collar.

Although I don't think her collar would have done good - she wouldn't go to anyone.

We called the people who cornered her. We asked them what we can do for them and they do not want anything, we're going to anyways.

We took a few signs down on our way home. One lady stopped and said "You found her?!" and my dad said yeah. She looked into the truck as she drove by with the biggest grin on her face.

My mom took one of our big signs down on the main road, a lady stopped and was looking. My mom yelled out that we found her, the lady cheered and honked her horn a bunch of times as she was pulling away.

We had such a supportive community online and offline, we are so grateful.

Kiki is passed out on my bed... I think I will join her. :D :D :D

[jazzcat]

That is great Kay!!! YAY!!!

I'm so glad the vet said she checks out okay just a little wear and tear.

How wonderful that so many people in your community were helping and are thrilled you've been reunited.

Very good news for my Saturday! :)

[Iilo]

Thank God, Kay. I'm so glad I checked PT before leaving this morning.

I'm so glad your nightmare is over. I can't even imagine what it'd be like.

[kimlovescats]

Tears of JOY for you, Kay!!!!! :D WELCOME HOME KIARA!!!! Oh, this just makes my day! I can only imagine how absolutely thrilled you are to see your baby again! Bless you ALL!



HUGS!!!!!
Kim :)

[Riptide]

Welcome Home, Kiara!!

[sirrahbed]

This is such a happy thread!!!

I have been following it without comment - and can see from the numbers of "hits" to your threads that an amazing number of folks have been thinking of Kay and Kiara.

Isn't it comforting to know that the community was also aware of Kiara being missing? This saga has likely been followed closely by more people than we will ever know.

Earlier in this post - I think it was lbaker that said something about people all over the world smiling.... :D :D :D Can you feel it??

Have a peaceful, exhausted and relieved nap Kay and Kiara!

[gini]

Goodness sakes - leaky eyes all across the globe for one silly dog that we all have come to love.

Thank God this has a happy ending - and we are whooping and hollering right along with you Kay.

Please give that girl a bunch of kisses from me.

[critter crazy]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!



http://bestsmileys.com/hugging/4.gifGive KIARA a Big hug from all of US!!!!

[Glacier]

Welcome Home, Kiara! Now, stay put! I don't imagine you will be allowed out of sight for a long while anyway!

The couple who led me to Delta wouldn't take the reward money I had offered for him. The reward got bigger the longer he was gone, so it was a substantial amount of money by that point! I had to do something for them, so I got them a gift certificate to a very nice restaurant and another one for a pet store so Delta's buddy could get some treats too.

Taking down Delta's posters was great fun! Enjoy your tour to rip them down! :D

[Kfamr]

I am sending this to all of the people I've emailed the past few days...


After many sleepless nights, hundreds of dollars spent, our baby girl is home and okay!

We got a tip on her 9/15/2006 at around 5pm. A guy had cornered her and she jetted off as soon as she noticed she was cornered. He called our home but only my brother and my mother were here - my father and I were out passing out flyers.

So my brother went into the neighborhood she was spotted. She is a bit scared of him because he isn't around much. He left his truck running in the middle of the road as soon as he spotted her. He tried getting her to come to him but she kept shying away. She was limping but still ran full force. He chased her for about 2 miles until she ran off into the woods.


During this time my dad and I had arrived home and go the message at around 7pm. We searched and searched the area from 7pm to about 2:30am. We put out food, dirty shirts of our's and some water hoping she'd return to that area and eat. Dad went out this morning ( I actually slept well last night, I'm not sure why) and checked the food. It wasn't touched.
So he walked around the area. He found some feces in the middle of the road, all it had in it was grass and bugs, and it was cold. He still went back into that area and called her name.


He heard her yiping. He spotted her across the way but she would not come to him. She kept ducking around and yiping. As my dad got closer he realized she couldn't get to him because there was a fence. She jumped up on the fence and he grabbed her.


He carried her back to the truck. He said the whole way home she was whining, making noises and kissing him. She NEVER gives kisses - NEVER.
Dad and her finally arrived home. He awoke me from my nightmare as he came into my room and put her on my bed. "Kay, LOOK WHO I GOT!!!" It was my little girl and she was HOME. She gave me kisses all over too and I hugged her tighter than I ever have before.


If it weren't for the support of our online and offline community she would not be home. The wonderful family who spotted her in their neighborhood and called us - they are heavensent. This has been the most horrible week of my life. We had not crossed off September 11th this whole week - and we finally crossed it off today.


Thank you, everyone.
Kay Knapp

[RedHedd]

YAY! Poor baby! I'm SO glad she made it back home

[FaNcYkItTy]

Welcome home Ki! Hope she fattens up soon :)

[caseysmom]

Oh Kay you know how relieved and happy I am. Give kiki a big hug for me and your dad also!

[zoomer]

Yay!! Welcome home Kiki! I'm so glad you're home!!

[rg_girlca]

I also had been following this story and I am so happy to hear that your baby girl is back home safe and sound. Reading all the posts just brought tears to my eyes. The support you got all around was so overwhelming.

Welcome home Kiara and please, don't take off like that again.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Welcome home Kiki!!!!

I was/am so excited to see this thread, Kay. I'm so glad you got your girl back! I am so relieved, I was so worried about her the entire time she was missing. Words truly can not express how happy I am for you aswell as Kiara. I'm sure she'll be back to a good, healthy weight in not time at all. :)

[Bengalz]

Kay,

I'm so glad Kiara checked out fine :) And, I'm sure you will be so happy to give her anything she needs to feel better.

Your message to everyone was fantastic as I'm sure everyone here has felt your anxiety and are now so relieved to know that all is well in your world. This global community has enormous impact on everyone that is a part of it. We can all rest well knowing your baby girl is where she should be.

Kiara must be so happy to be back with her mommy, her fursibs and her whole family. What an ordeal for such a sensitive little girl - I suspect she will be a super velcro puppy for a very long time. As for lessons learned, I would not wish such a nightmare for any pup, kitty or human and am just so overjoyed that the outcome is a good one :D

Take good care of yourself and your baby - you all deserve some pampering :)

Hugs, Betty

[JenBKR]

oh thank you GOD! I am soooooo relieved! Whew, now we can all breathe again. Talk about LES!! YAY! I just grabbed Roscoe and danced him around the room - yes he thinks I'm strange. WELCOME HOME KIARA!!

Happy, happy tears! What fantastic news. Thank God!!!

[Vermontcat]

Yay! :D
I'm so happy to hear that sweet Kiara is back home where she belongs. :)

I am so thankful to God that Kiara is home at last. This is indeed the best day ever!!

Welcome home Kiara, your mommy has been so worried.

Further proof that PT prayers really do work!

[dappledoxie]

I am thrilled!!!! Thank goodness she's home again! :D :D

[Logan]

I would like to think that my father would have done the same thing for one of mine. I sort of doubt that he would have. But, the only time, in my life, that one of my dogs went missing, it was the tag that had my parent's phone number on it that saved her and it was my dad who heard her, as he happened to be visiting that night and heard Kaycee's barks. She had escaped the yard of the people who found her and came home.

I love that your dad felt so devoted to the effort, Kay. Give him a hug from us, please.

[My Peanuts]

OMG! YAY! I came on here hoping to see this. I've been thinking about you and Kiara all day! I'm so happy for you, Kay! :D :) :D

[Suki Wingy]

YAY! I bet everyone's estatic all around, :D especially the poor girl.

[Flatcoatluver]

I couldn't have read anything better than this! I'm so happy for you, Kiara and your whole family Kay!
She looks a little ragged & hungry from her pictures, but I'm sure she'll be looking better in no time!

Welcome Home Kiara!!!

[joycenalex]

[labmomma]

Thank heaven your ordeal is over. I haven't responded until now because the thoughts of what might have happened made me too upset. I'm just thankful to God that everything turned out so great for you.
Labmomma :)

Oh Happy Day, that little Kiara is safe and sound back home where she belongs. What a wonderful reward to all the effort that was put forth to find her. Although it was one person who was fortunate enough to see her and put in that phone call, there were perhaps dozens who were searching and on the lookout. We couldn't be more pleased to know the ordeal has ended.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Woohoo!!!!

[captain]

Oh Kay,

I have issues with my home PC, and was so happy to come in to work today and see that the darlin KiKi is home.
She was in my thoughts all weekend.

You know, even tho I live in Australia, I was walking on Saturday and say a dog that looked like KiKi, and my first thought was "OMG - could that be her ............" :D

Well.. she likes to swim but I don't think she could swim THAT far! :p

[Aspen and Misty]

Welcome Home Kiki!!

Oh Kay! I don't even know what to say. I have tears in my eyes just reading this. I'm so glad she is back where she belongs. Please, please give her a kiss from me, I was so worried.

That is FANTASTIC news. I am so glad your girl is back and hope that you never have to go through that terrible ordeal again! :D

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Kay, I'm sorry I couldn't reply earlier... I just got back from a water ski trip with my church group.

Anyway.... I'm soooo flippin happy that she is home! I KNEW she would come home, and I'm just THRILLED that she did.

[vinjashira]

so happy for you Kay! Welcome Home Kiara! don't leave home again :)

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

YAY!!!

OH Kay i'm so happy for you! I could NOT WAIT to go to Pet Talk and see this thread!

I'm sure you will rest sooo much better now, knowing that your sweet Kiara is home!! {{HUGS}} to you both! I'm sure you guys have both been sooo stressed out!

[finn's mom]

I'm very glad she's back where she belongs.

[RobiLee]

How is your little girl doing today, Kay?

[Cataholic]

Just stopping by again to say how glad I am Kiki is where she belongs- in your arms!!!!

[Kfamr]

Thanks everyone!

Kiki is doing great.. her normal self, actually. She is really wanting to play fetch but she's gotta be careful with her little paws. They still hurt her and she tries to run but ends up limping. Some spots are a bit raw.

We took her to "her" beach last night for sunset, all of the regulars there wanted to see her because they had talked about her everynight when they met up while she was missing. None of the regulars were there, though, so we just worked on some commands and she got to catch her frisbee a few times. She is VERY scared of cars now, VERY scared. Whenever a car door would close or a car would start up she cowered away.

She greeted me with a ball when I was putting my shoes on for work and greeted me again with a ball when I was talking them off just now.

I was telling a regular customer about the whole ordeal as he asked why I was away last week. He has two gorgeous Goldens himself. Before he left he handed me a $20 bill and told me it was for the "Doggie Fund." I told him that I couldn't accept it but he insisted.

It is so wonderful how many people supported us thru it all. The lady who had the ad in the paper for a found dog called again today. She wanted to tell us congratulations and let us know how many people were supporting us. She said she got several calls asking if the dog she had found was Kiara. She also wanted to let us know that the dog they found was reunited with the owner as well. :D :D


We had stopped the neighborhood icecream man and gave him a flyer a few days ago - he put it up in the window of his truck. We stopped him again yesterday and told him he could take it down. He and all of the people waiting to buy icecream cheered. :)


Thanks again, guys!

[caseysmom]

Oh Kay that is so cool. Kiki united a community didn't she? I wonder if she got hit by a car? Not badly of course but bruised up?

[labmomma]

What wonderful news!! All of your hard work paid off and your baby is safe and sound.
Congratulations,
Labmomma :)

[beeniesmom]

I doubt she got hit by a car but I am sure she had a lot of car horns sounding off at her if she was in the road. That would explain why she is now afraid of cars.
I am so glad she is home and well. I bet she's getting lots of extra food and treat to get her weight up! You and your puppers are truly loved Kay Ann.
That guy that gave you 20 for the doggie fund.... maybe he has a special interest for you... ummmm????

Hehe I was thinking the same thing? How old was he Kay? Was he good looking? Well who cares he loves dogs, right?

[Sudilar]

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!!!!!!Yayyyyyyyy! Hugs!!!!

[slick]

I was politely reminded by Laurie today that Mz Gini told me the news when I was in the hospital, then when Laurie called a day later and told me the same news I acted like I'd never heard it before. :o Guess those hospital drugs work really well.

Welcome home Kiki. Do you have any idea how many prayers were being said for your from all over the world????

Big hugs to you Kay. I can only imagine the ear the ear grin you've been proudly displaying since her return.

Now, I can go to bed and sleep well.

[Kfamr]

I wanted to thank you all again.

Today is 1 month since she's been home safe and sound. I know I still smile everytime I think about her being home.

To those who were unable to send a package, please do not feel bad. Your support and kind words mean just as much and I appreciate every little bit. Kiki may not know about those words or understand them but they make me smile and she sure knows my moods! :)

So... thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!


Oh, and I forgot to answer about that guy, LOL! Sillies! He is way older than I and married. But, I'd take his dogs if he let me! :p :p

[Husky_mom]

a month already??......wow time sure flies, but i bet it stopped when she was MIA.........

glad to hear you got your package, sorry but my stuff wouldn´t get there on time, but i still have a little something for you, you´ll just have to wait :rolleyes:
