Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. Being half way around the world from my home of 50+ years can be daunting in the face of trauma. Fortunately my husband is level-headed and my in-laws are supportive, but your support has also been comforting.
We are recovering. Puddin' slept in her own bed last night...she was SO happy to have her room back where she could play on the floor with her toys and eat and drink and pee when she wanted to! Living on Mama's bed had some serious restrictions!
My maid put the house back together lickety-split, but we are still dealing with insurance and police...and poor Candy, our SPCA Maltese/JR, is still freaked out. This morning I was rummaging in my closet for something and the sound must have reminded her of the sounds the thieves were making because she just got hysterical!
Hopefully this will be finished soon...but the insurance guy is due to come and give us a hard time next, so we are digging through our household paperwork to find the receipts for the missing stuff...not a pleasant task, since some of the items were purchased nearly 5 years ago!
Ah, well, life goes on and Puddin' is not particularly photogenic yet, so she's actually a lot cuter than her pics show!
Thank you all for your support and comforting words. |
