Hello everyone and indeed it is a very Happy New Year!!! This morning about 10:30 Bella's dad called to tell me she had come home. He said they continued to look for her and call her all evening but finally, about 11pm or so, decided to go to bed. They apparently have a cat and they left the front door, the wooden one open with I guess the screen door closed because the cat sits by the door whenever it is open and they were hoping either Bella would see the cat or the cat would see Bella overnight. Anyway, just before midnight when the fireworks were really starting to go off around here, mom decided to go out and call her one last time. No luck. So they went on to bed. Then, they heard a scratching noise and jumped out of bed. Bella was scratching at the door!!!!!! Dad said he ran outside in his underwear! One minute after midnight! Said he hadn't had a dog for 20 years and had no idea he could love a little dog so much. But he said he cried just as hard as his wife while she was gone. The kicker to this story is that they rescued Bella. She's 3 years old and has had 3 litters already! They have since given her a home where she's loved just for herself and not because she produces babies and have had her spayed. The other weird thing? Now we have never met but I was telling him about my girls Abby and Lucy and their next door neighbor has 2 yorkies named what? Abby and Lucy! Needless to say, we're going to get together soon! So a new home for Bella, a new year and new friends! Glory to God! |
