One Year

[Kfamr]

Tomorrow (9/11/2007) marks the anniversary of the most dreadful week in my life.
Here's the thread where I announced it to Pet Talk:
Kiki is missing
and the happiest day in my life...
Kiki Is Home!!!


Knowing your baby is out there all alone is one of the scariest thoughts ever. Not knowing if she is hurt, killed, or in someone's care or the hurt I feel when she's spooked by the simplest things. It's something I wouldn't wish upon anyone.

I am tempted to lock her up with padlocks and chains tomorrow. She means so much to my family and I and we are so grateful to have her home again today.

Almost daily I still check and make sure she is home, I call her to make sure she is there. There are still days where I cry thinking about her being gone and have flashbacks of her missing. When I am away from home I sometimes want to race home just to make sure she is still there.

We have come a long way, the both of us, but there still is that bit of trust that was broken.

I was telling my friend about the whole situation last night, detail for detail, as I didn't know him when it happened. The both of us broke down into tears. Sometimes I just cry looking at her pictures because I love her so much and so many "what ifs" fall into thought. She really truly is an amazing animal and I am so blessed to have her in my life.






And please, if you haven't already - read Kiara's story. I learned from my mistake and I hope Kiara and I can stop others from making the same mistake.
Kiara's Story - Please read & keep this as a reminder...

We will celebrate Kiara's homecoming as well as the day I made Mufasa's birthday this Sunday - September 16th, 2007.

Wow, I can't believe it's been a year already! That was such a scary time for all of us, especially you of course...I know Kiara means the world to you. I'm so glad she's home with you where she belongs.

Kay we all have had to learn hard lessons. Thank goodness your Kiara came back safely She is truly a special girl and she is where she should be - with you surrounded by love

We all need to give our babies an extra hug tomorrow to celebrate KiKi's homecoming

I remember those 5 days all too well. How worried everyone was for Kiara. I don't know how you held up Kay. That has to be most peoples worst nightmare, a pet missing. Thank God you got her back. Please give pretty Kiara a big hug from me.

You got her back, safe and sound. Smile!! Do a happy dance!!! Relief! What a beautiful girl she is.

I've had a pet missing as well and the feeling is so terrible. Just having her sighted must have given you such hope.

Wow, hard to beleive it's been a whole year already, that went by so fast. I remember it like it was yesterday. I'm SOOOO glad she was found and is home safe now.
