MUGSEY'S HOMECOMING
Yes, after 5 weeks, 11 hours and
thousands of emails,
hundreds of flyer's,
a dozen posters,
blogging,
twittering,
praying,
hoping,
wishing,
crying,
craiglists postings,
following many false leads,
joining 10 local area dog clubs,
faxing and calling dozens upon dozens of veterinarians, dog rescue groups and shelters,
being on channel 9 news,
being on HOT 99.5 The Kane Radio Show,
getting an article with Mugsey's picture in The Gazette,
driving,
walking,
searching,
stalking,
spying
and many other crazy/desperate antics I won't mention.......
MUGSEY IS FINALLY HOME!!!!!
Friday night, March 20, 2009 at approximately 9:30 PM, Mark, Amy and Katie pulled up to their house. As they were walking to their front door, a couple in a black SUV got out of their vehicle and said "We think we have your dog".
After so many disappointments, Mark and Amy were skeptical. At that point the couple opened the back of their car and out jumped Mugsey. Mugsey, Mark, Amy and Katie were beside themselves!!
The story the couple had was that they were from North Carolina visiting her mother. They had been walking around Gunners Lake in Germantown, MD Friday afternoon when Mugsey wandered up to them. Apparently they took Mugsey to the mothers house and while talking with their cousin, the cousin stated she had seen a flyer in the Hunan Best Restaurant window in Flower Hill about a missing bulldog. The couple went online, found Mugsey's blog and there they were.
Mark and Amy were so thrilled they did not even think to ask questions.
Mark, Amy, Katie and their three dogs then ran over to my house. When I opened the front door, it took me a moment to realize that I was actually seeing Mugsey. Then tears, screaming, laughing, kissing and hugging ensued. What a wonderful, joyful and amazing moment!!
When Mark, Amy and Katie got back home, Katie looked up to her parents and said "We are finally a family again!"
Yes, we have many questions that will most likely never be answered (such as; why didn't the couple call, how did they get the address, where has Mugsey been for 5 weeks, who actually took him, why was he taken, etc. etc.) but we are just thrilled to have Mugsey home with his family where he belongs.
Amy and Katie took Mugsey to their veterinarian this morning. Mugsey has lost 5 pounds but otherwise appears to be in good health. And yes, he was microchipped today!
Tonight Mark to Mugsey to PetSmart to take down his missing dog poster and to get him a new collar and name tag along with some new toys and a new dog bed.
We want to thank each and every one of you for your love, support and prayers- Thank God for people like you and THANK GOD MUGSEY IS HOME!!
