Well it was a rough couple days for our little family and especially Matt and I. Monday morning we let the cats out as per usual and at 7pm Nadia came in, but Sparky did not. We searched for him all night and I was up until 3am walking around in the rain with a flashlight and looking for any sign of him at all.
Yesterday(Tuesday) morning we got up as usual and had breakfast and both went in different directions to search for Sparky again. Nadia was upstairs on the bed all day and crying over her brother missing and not coming home. She was so depressed and upset she would not even get out of bed and we even had to force her to eat.
I looked all day yesterday for our little man and to no avail to find him. Finally last night I was out for a cigarette in the rain in my slippers and I heard some whining outside, which I am sure it was Sparky. I followed the sound and ran down the block looking for him.
I finally found him behind one of the neighbors garages hiding and soaked in some tall grass. He was so scared and tired. He came to me and I carried him home and he ate so much after being out for his 36 hours of whatever happened to him.
Nadia was so happy and started cleaning her brother right away and if you could have seen the look on Matts face when I brought him in the house, it was priceless and so amazing for all of us. Rogue and Storm ran to Sparky as well and started to clean him and look after him.
He is home now and we are making them both stay in the house and they are just going to have to suck it up and get used to it. There is now way in hell we are going through this again. Missing him, searching all night, phoning vets and spca and no sleep and making posters. Stress!
Wow, thank you to all of our neighbors for your help and concern with looking for our little boy. We are truly blessed to be in such a wonderful neighborhood with wonderful people.
Anyhow all is well that ends well and our little family is all back and safe and sound. I was beginning to think I was cursed and am just glad to know I am not and can rest again once in a while.
