The Most Amazing Thing Happened Today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOSH!! I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER RIGHT NOW AND YOU ALL ARE THE FIRST PEOPLE I HAD TO TELL. As some of you know, the day after christamas, we went to visit my grandparents for a couple hours and since the dogs had been inside all day we decided to leave them in the yard while we were gone. When we got home the previously locked gate was WIDE open. I had seriously given up any hope of finding them because that was the end of December and it is already February!! We put posters up everywhere and no one ever called. Also, both dogs had ID tags. Well today we get a call from a lady who says that she fould a black lab dog a couple weeks ago and has been keeping it at her house because it had no collar or tags on it. My heart sunk just as fast as it skipped a beat because Chico did have a collar and an ID tag. So I told her that I don't think he was mine. She said that she saw a poster at Petsmart and it looks exactly like him, minus the collar and ID tag. So my mom and I drove the 20 minutes to see her, and I started bawling when she answered the door (oh my gosh, i am crying right now!!)...there was Chico wagging his whole entire body. It was him, and he is back now!! To make sure it was him I looked at his chest, because he has the tiniest patch of white hair, did all his commands. Oh my god, i am extrememly happy. I just dont understand how his collar was missing. When we offered her the reward money, she said that she wouldn't dream of taking it. Right before we left, she said that she had seen the other dog from the poster too. DUh!!! I was so excited and crying about Chico, I completely forgot about Omar. IT turns out that when she saw Chico, she also saw Omar (that made me happy that they "stuck together"). She said that he looked mean (a lot of people say that but he is a sweetie) so she had called the Animal Control. When they got there, she told them that she would take in Chico until an owner was found. Well Omar didn't have his collar and tag on either (???) so they took him to a shelter where they wait a certain amount of time and then I guess they put strays up for adoption. Since it was only a couple weeks ago, we had hopes he was still there. So she told us the name of the shelter he had been taken to and OH MY GOD..he was still there. We had papers to prove he was our dog, so we got to take him home today!!!! I just cannot believe that this all happened in one day, especially getting both dogs back!!! THey both smelled really bad so we bathed them both and now they are fast asleep on their dog beds. I am so unbelieveably happy. I just want to thank everyone for being so supportive and hopeful, even when I wasn't. I truely belive that PT prayers work. Thanks soooooooo much!!!!!!
