Minnie is Home: A Happy Reunion

After being away from home for six days Minnie made it home Monday night, March 9. A very nice family called me letting me know they found her ad on Craigslist and that they have had her since last Thursday, March 5. They found her about 7 minutes from home hiding between some bushes at a nearby daycare. 

As soon as I got off the phone with the family and agreed to meet a a public spot to receive Minnie I called Danny to make sure that it was her from the photos they sent me of her. It was definitely her and he agreed. I wanted to surprise my parents when I came home so we did not say anything until I had her in my hands. 

I met up with the family at a nearby gas station and there she was! She recognized me right away. Although we never posted a reward I was prepared to give them an amount irregardless. They refused the money and said it was a pleasure having Minnie, they even wanted to keep her, that's my girl!

I put her in my car and we drove home. I carried her inside the house and she ran to my dad immediately. He was in shock but oh so happy! Mom ran out of Danny's room to greet her as well. It was truly a happy reunion!

Thank you to all our friends for helping us share her lost dog poster, the prayers, and words of consolation. Our family is once again complete! Let's pray for those dogs without homes and those families missing their companions.
