Donna, I'm bawling like a baby from relief and happiness. My heart has been in my throat waiting for Eli to return. This is JUST WHAT I NEEDED to hear. I can't tell you how happy I am for you. It feels like I've gone through this experience myself just reading your heartbreaking posts.

I am going to give all my cats some canned food to celebrate too (they will be happy because they never get any!).

I knew in my heart Eli would be close to home, I just wasn't sure WHEN you'd find him. I'm SO GLAD you did. I AM JUST SOOOOO HAPPY!

Thank goodness you needed bagels and gas!!! Maybe Eli's nickname should be Bagel
