Thanks so much Karen for posting the amazing story of the return of Gumby. How unlikely a reunion after all that time and all those miles between them. I am overwhelmed. I was surprised to see it was in the Gresham Outlook, since Gresham, Oregon is just down the hill from Sandy, Oregon, where I used to live for eight years. Although their rescue facility is very new, I have visited the old one many years ago. My dog Sandy is named in part for Sandy, Oregon, and there was also a story about the Sandy River. Like old home week.

I am so very happy for Gumby and his mom. I would only wish for my Jasper, a return home that is nearly not so long. At least with being on an island, he cannot get as far away. I heard of a lady that was reunited with her cat here after two years. There is hope and I need to remember that. I look every day at the pictures in my room of Jasper, his favorite mouse and his treat can, missing him and wanting him home. There is hope and I need to remember that. Thank you so much for the story and words of encouragement.
