I told Connie all the guys at work thought I'd flipped out. I made up these flyers, etc. not saying I had a dream, etc, but that she was spotted in this area and had been missing for 3 months, I had pics of her on it and pic of her with the barrette she had in her hair when she went missing. I started out going to the very back coner of the complete. This is a big apt. complex. I want you to know the first complete that I posted my flyer was the place she was at. Of course I didnt know it at the time, but about 1/2 hr later, while i was still there post...i get a call from the and he said...are u the one looking for a yorkie and i said yes....he said i've got your baby...of course by this time, i've dropped to the ground bawling like a very big baby...i said are you sure its her and he said, yes she i found her with that same barrette in her hair as the pic. omg you guys....he told me which apt he was at and i went speeding over there. He was standing outside with my baby in his arms. She looks soooooooooooo different, he just had her shaved down 4 days ago. He said it was just too hard to keep her hair up. OMG... but there was that same adorable face. I said Maddie its Momma and she went crazy, was licking all over my face giving me kisses. I" was in tears, the guy was almost in tears.

I could kick the kids butt who told me my baby was dead. He's lucky he lives somewhere in Illinois. Not sure what really happened. to my guess he we think he stole her from the yard and gave her to someone or sold her to someone and then told me his friend ran over her to make me stop looking. the gentleman who had maddie didnt get her until 2weeks after the date she was missing. he found her wondering around the complex. He didnt get the paper and had posted stuff around the complex. He said he knew she was someones pet cause she was in excellent condition.


she left me weighing 3.5lbs and came home weighing 4.8 lol of course he was feeding her table stuff too. he took excellent care of her and i praise God that he was there for her. omg you guys as excited as I am for myself and my family, I feel terrible for him. He lived alone and she was his baby. He called her Paris. She slept with him, etc. He walked her 3 times a day. his baby was his life. He didnt have to do what he did. He is a wonderful caring man. I gave his a reward, but will never be able to repay him enough. He called me tonight to check on her and said he cried so hard after I left, but knows she is back with her family. I told him he could be her step daddy and when we go on vacation, etc he can watch her and he was thrilled. I told him I'll bring her by to visit too. My girls and I have made some card and stuff and going back to see him in a few days. I'd like for other people to send him cards to and tell him how wonderful he is. pm if you want to send him a card. i will have to get all of his address and let you know.

omg this feels like a dream. Only God could have brought us back together, that dream was a message from God. It was so wild and right down to the point when i did find her she was really really short. AMAZING. She was even found in the back corner of the complex, just like my dream. I've on my daughters lap top and dont know how to resize pics. I send some pics to Connie to post. Remind you she looks so different. Its sad cause we arent in the same house we was when she was here. So its all so different for her. I'm sure she is so confused. She did her usual sit and spin for a cherrio and even post for the pics for a cherrio. Some things never change. lol

I can tell you, my smiles is the biggest one you've ever seen. Lauryn totally freaked out...At first she was like awww who's yorkie...lol then i said look closely at her face and she said...no mom...is it..maddie. i said yes, and she too fell to the floor in disbelieve and tears rolling, when i let Maddie down she ran over and gave lauryn a ton of kisses. Lexi said awww look at the doggie. I said Lexi its Maddie I found her. She said no she playing with jesus. I told her no, its her. she's only 3 but she knew after i said it it was good old maddie. maddie wont leave my side and just wants to be held alot. of course, i've having trouble letting her down. lol and yes, she'll be sleeping in our bed...that is if i can sleep.

my heart just knew having macy wasnt right. now i have my baby back. never in a million years did i ever think anything like this could ever happen, God has truely touch my family more than I could ever ask for. Maddie is such a blessing and I have my blessing back.

I just keep looking at her...like omg its you. my hubby said omg maddie we love u so much even if you do look homely...lol (and she does) but we dont care. hair will grow back. I HAVE MY MADDIE BACK........YEAH YEAH YEAH

CARTWHEEL, CARTWHEEL, BACK HAND SPRING, DANCE DANCE, LOL LOL LOL


I'm going to write a story for the newspaper and send it to the editor. There are still Good people in this world and tell my story. Hopefully they will publish it.

i'll be posting tons of pics tomorrow, but right now i just want to hold my baby tight. i wonder if yorkies can survive if they never touch the ground...lol lol lol

omg that little burger will never get in trouble again...lol lol

i love all you guys and thank you for sharing in my joy beyond belief!!!!!!!

THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!!!!!

This made me cry even more! I know you are just SOOOO HAPPY, this is all too amazing! I wish we could do something for that guy, he seems like a great guy and he took good care of your baby.

I agree! If we could do something to make his heart happy. I guess his heart IS happy knowing he did what was right, but the loss must be so hard for him. Bless his heart! Denise and I even talked about the possibility of finding him a yorkie of his own.

I so hope (and pray) you are right.

I am so so so glad she is home... There are still great people in this world

I say I think you are right just gotta find the right yorkie for him

[myboy]

What a great man. I would agree that we need to find this man a yorkie.
I am so glad that you found Maddie. What a wonderful story. And I agree that you need to send something to the paper. What a great story. I would even try the TV station. They love great happy stories also.

[dcapper]

Is there a way to pitch in and get this nice man a Yorkie for his own? I'm sure he has enough money for one, but he's just an amazing giving human being by what he did.

Thats what I was going to suggest. I think a lot of us here would be happy to help donate money to help thank that amazing man! Would he want another yorkie?

I am speechless with happiness . . .I cannot believe what I am reading . . . I am so happy for you Denise . . .I know deep down it was hard to believe what had happened to Maddie . . . she is such a sweet adorable baby it coulnd't possibly happen to her . . . . I bet the entire Winningham household is finally at peace . . .and on cloud nine

Welcome home Maddie . . .Tiger and Annika have missed you so much . . they are sending you tons of wet kisses

[Connie]

Those of you who have said you thought Maddie was alive and that was all a story...I think that crossed all our minds! I even mentioned that to Denise that morning she called me crying and telling me that Maddie was dead. Denise said this guy was so sincere and fighting back tears, that she believed him. I guess that buttface was one heck of a good actor.

She also told me this morning not to tell anyone about the dream because she didn't want people to think she was a nutcase. I SO BADLY wanted to come on here and say I know something exciting that could turn out to be wonderful and please pray for Denise. But, I refrained because I told her I wouldn't tell. No one would have thought she was a nutcase anyway. If it had happened to any one of us, we would have been checking it out too!

Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Yep...I think we should put our heads together on how to get that dear man a puppy! It is so sweet how excited he got when Denise told him he could babysit Maddie when they went out of town. I do believe, not only did Denise get precious Maddie back, but she also got a new family member, being that dear, dear man who will now be forever in their lives!

He's got so many people thinking of him tonight and praying for him! He has no idea how he's loved by so many that have never even met him!

DENISE

I am SO SOOOO incredibly happy for you and your family to have Maddie back home safe and sound.
I have cried through this post and just can’t express what an amazing story this is.
I called Connie and we just couldn't get over the fact that you dreamed right where she was.
Thank goodness you followed up on your dream that lead you to your little angel.
What a nice honest man to have taken her in, love and cared for her, keeping her safe.
I’m sure it broke his heart to give her up but he knew it was the right thing to do.
It’s such a shame there are not more like this man in the world.
I hope the little punk who did this and put you and your family through Hell all these months never finds a minutes peace.
Maybe the same dreams that lead you to Maddie… will haunt him for what he did.
WELCOME HOME SWEET SWEET MADDIE…

We would have thought she was a nutcase for NOT checking out that dream. Its true, we all would have gone to those lengths for our babies.

And then once we get him a puppy, he can become a part of YT!

Denise...Little Maddie is still simply adorable! That darling little face! I don't remember ever feeling this excited and happy in all my life! This is truly the most amazing story there ever will be on YT! We love you Denise! We love you Maddie! Welcome home, sweetie!

I've also been thinking of the man who had Maddie. Bless his dear heart. He did what was right, even though he knew he would be heartbroken without her. I want to send him a card and a big thank you letter.

Okay...I'll quit babbling and post the pics of darling little Maddie!!!

Have been reading the thread. Just like everyone else, I am sitting here in good bumps and crying. Crying for happiness for Maddie returning to her family- Crying for Peace that Maddie and her family will now have- Crying for Saddness for the sweet man that took loving care of Miss Maddie and is now alone. We all know how attached one gets with a Yorkie. They are like no other dog out there. God is definitely amazing.

Denise & Family, Congratulations on the return of your baby. I am soooo happy for you all.

If there is a donation basket to get this sweet man a baby of his own- Please count me in...
