Lost my baby.......... OMG! I could have died. That's how I felt anyways. I went to school Monday night and my roommate was here with my little benjamin. Well I left at about 4:30pm. At around 5:30 my roommate had visitors and that's when my baby got out. It was 9:00 pm before my roommate noticed he hadn't seen him in a while. I got home right about the time he noticed. I was so pissed. I had to hold my self back from going off. I got on a bike and rode all over my neighborhood calling his name with no luck. I had to go back home eventually. It was getting so late and I realized I wasn't going to find him. I couldn't sleep. I was so worried. It was so cold outside and I had just cut his hair down really short the day before. All I could picture was him lost and cold and scared! I was a wreck. I managed to get some sleep that night. In the morning I felt so depressed I almost didn't want to get out of bed. But I knew I had to start my search if I was going to have a chance at getting him back.
The first thing I did was make a whole bunch of fiiers. I put them all over the neighborhood in every direction. At about 1:30pm I got a call from a woman who's house I put a flier on, on a tree right in front of her house.. SHE HAD BENJAMIN!!!! I could have cried. She said her husband found him wandering around Artesia Blvd., which is a VERY busy, major street. He brought him home and had him stay in the garage at their house. She was at work at the time so I had to wait until 6:30pm to be able to get him back.. I didn't even go to school cause I wasn't going to be able to concentrate anyways til he was home.
At 6:30 the lady's husband called and even delivered him to me at home. Benjamin looked scared. The guy said he cried all night. But at least there's a happy ending! I didn't know what I was going to do without him. And especially without knowing he was ok.
The night he was gone all I wanted was to know he was safe and warm somewhere. The thing that I was most worried about was him being cold and lost out there. I cried and cried. The worst feeling.
But like I said, this story has a happy ending Thank God!!!!
The fliers are a great idea. Luckily he ran into nice people who took him in over night and got him back home to me. I don't live in the most "fancy" area. You don't see yorkies everywhere. He could have easily ran into someone who would have never given him back!!! |
