Lost and Found

Mom has a screened in deck 

also. Lily thinks that is great with

the beautiful days we have had 

the last four days.

Like at home, I keep the screen

closed and latched.

Since it was so pretty last night 

I kept the door going to the deck

propped open so Lily could

come and go.

The dogs were on the other side of 

the screen, outside. 

I saw Lily run to the back room 

where the little box is at that point

I decided to go let the dogs in and

close up the deck.

I also propped the screen door 

open so the dogs could go straight

out later on. I did not realize that

Lily had come back out. 

An hour later, starting to bed I 

realized that she was not in the house.

I called, I balled, I cried, I searched...

NO LILY.

On top of the day I had I just knew

she was gone. I got Dakota out of 

the fenced yard to sniff for her.

I got the flash light and went all around

the house and some of the neighbors 

yards....calling for her the whole

time.

Finally I put the dogs up and the dog

up the street that kept barking must

have went in. While I sat on the deck

crying I would call out to her.

Finally around 9pm I heard a 

slight meow. I came off the deck and 

called again, once again I heard a meow.

I kept this up till I was across the 

street and then I found her.

Scared she was in the corner of

the window seal of the house there.

I was so happy.

I grabbed her and loved and kissed

on her all the way home. I know

she was glad I found her cause

she did not fight to get out 

of my arms.

She was so glad that she came

and got in bed with me and three

dogs. She was tired. 

By the time I found her, she had 

been missing for about if not 

longer than two hours.

My heart was so happy.

I was able to sleep knowing

she was with me and the other

furbabes. 

I could not stand the thought of life 

without her. She brings laughs

to my life but I could not stand the

thoughts of her outside over night

by herself. 

This morning first thing she went

to the vets where my daughter works.

She is now a registered chipped cat.

I am also purchasing an orange collar

for her. I learned tonight that orange

means "convict" as in ~ 

INSIDE 

CAT.

So if you see a cat with an orange

collar, grab it up, it is an indoor cat

that is not allowed outside. 

She will also be wearing her name and 

my number on that break away collar. 

Precautions....but NEVER will she not

be hunted for again before I open 

that screen door. If she is out there

and the dogs need in or out, she

will be picked up and held while that

door is opened. 

My heart can't take things like that 

again.

Hug your furbabes and 

take precautions to keep

them safe.
