He's home!!! He's home!!!!
Oh my gosh. I am still in complete and utter shock. It was nothing short of a miracle that brought him home.
First and foremost, I want to thank Cindy (Emma on here), for all of her help. She helped me search and search for him and it was nothing short of amazing.
This morning, I went out walking in the cemetery, passing out flyers to passer-by. This one lady was very nice and had a dog with her, she and I talked for a bit and I gave her a flyer. I went searching everywhere. Then, went to walmart to put up a new flyer and give some to the girlscouts.
I get a voicemail as I'm getting in the car. It was a different lady, who saw him on a road over 2 miles away (5 hours before), across a busy 4-lane intersection. It's packed nearly 24 hours a day. That's when I posted and drove off to see the road she was talking about. I called Cindy and she followed me out there.
I kept driving down the road past some subdivisions, but Cindy went down there and talked to a lady walking down the street. The lady was calling me as they spoke, to let me know they'd seen him not six minutes before!! I turned around and immediately headed back. And hiding behind a shed... There he was. I could tell he was contemplating coming back to me but he was scared. It was a pursuit down several backroads, trying to bring Emma with me, and someone brought my mom some Vienna sausages. I tossed him a piece, and finally he took it and after about 2 minutes, I was able to grab the tiny piece of a leash he had left. I started crying like crazy.
It was exactly 60 hours on the dot since he disappeared when he was spotted again. The crazy thing? The lady who I met in the cemetery was the one who saw him the last time. I just couldn't believe it.
I am so happy to have my boy home. Thank you all for your prayers... It truly is a miracle. St. Francis brought my boy home again.
