From Connie ... re: Denise's Maddie

I had to write you and ask you to pray for Denise and Maddie. Denise called me tonight and her little Maddie is missing. She called me about 9:15 and said she's been missing for a couple of hours. She is just frantic and could hardly talk for crying. I called her a bit ago to check and see if there was any news and nothing. They think someone took her. Someone left the gate open and when that happened once before, Maddie waited at the front door for someone to find her. It was nearly darlk by the time they noticed she was gone and it's hard to even see a dark little dog in the night. They've been putting up flyers and called the police and radio stations. I feel so utterly sick for them and little Maddie. She just HAS to be returned safely to them. They are all so heartbroken.

Hello! I'm so thrilled I'm practically doing cartwheels here! Little Maddie has been found and is back in Denise's arms. She was under a car and no one could get her to come out, but when Denise got there and said, "Maddie, it's Mommy," Maddie came running right to her! Denise says she's a mess...full of burrs and mats something awful, but we can live with that. She's safe and back where she belongs and Praise the Lord! I called Villette and told her so if she can get on YT, she'll do an update. I can't get on there yet. It allows me to sign in, but then I get the note about the server being changed.

So, my friends...this is a happy ending and I am so happy. I just couldn't imagine life without Maddie for Denise. She told me last night she just knew she'd never see her again. Thank goodness!

I'll get this sent so you all can breathe easier and if any of you can, you can post an update!
