I was down and out of a job for so long and I can't afford to be out of another job when I have 6 furbabies to take care of. I been driving myself crazy all day today looking through old pictures od yoshi from the first day I got him up to my lost/stolen flyer. My heart is heavy and torn on what to do. It's been almost 5 years and in those 5 years I questioned and blame myself for being so careless to let him out to potty without a thought of him getting stolen. And I beat myself up for it each day. And now after hearing that he has been found I still am in disbelief. But how do I take him back without hurting the elderly lady? How is he going to adjust himself to my other 6? Will I have time to help him heal? Will I bring more pain and suffering to him if I'm at work and can not give him the attention he needs? What if he doesn't remember me? Or maybe he blames me for what he has been through. I so very much want to jump in my car and go see him, hold him, tell him I'm sorry for letting him out that day. There are a million and one things going through my head right now. I'm so confused and since hearing the news that he has been found all the emotions and pain I have somehow covered up these past few years has been bought up to the surfuce. |
Do you have any family that he knows that can go get him? I agree with KiminMD-there are for sure people here who would volunteer to transport him if you needed.
The elderly lady doesn't have any history with him, YOU DO! I can't imagine that coming home to you, who he
WILL REMEMBER, could bring him any more pain. He can't reason cause and effect-he won't blame you. He will just be overjoyed at coming home. I am in tears thinking about how you missed out on 5 years of his life, but what you can do now is give him your love and allow him time to heal. He will probably be different because of experiences that you will never know about, and he may never be exactly the same again, but he will know your love again, and you will know his. He will probably be as disbelieving as you at first, to be back with his people, and may take a bit to warm back up-he may not jump right into your arms; but he also might! Just think if he does that high pitched "where have you been, I've missed you" squeal...
Good luck and keep us posted! I love a happy ending...
