My husband and I came back from going out on NYE just before midnight. We wanted to ring in the new year with our doggies (yes we are those people). However, our little Dimaggio was not at our house. We have a doggie door and he somehow dug under the fence and got out. This discovery happened right at midnight.
It was horrible. To make matters worse... he didn't have his collar on. We called the ID tag place to report him missing. They weren't very hopeful. I was trying to be. I was making signs in the middle of the night while Jon was searching in the neighborhood. After going to Walmart at 1am, we posted 16 signs all over the neighborhood. We got back a little before 3am. I had asked my parents and friends to pray that he was OK and he came back to us.
We were about to go to bed when Jon heard a faint tapping on the door. He opened it and there was Dimaggio. I was in the bedroom but I heard my husband say, "He's here" and "He found us". It was the most awesome feeling. It was also a wonderful lesson to me for the New Year. Be thankful for all that you are blessed with and have right now. Not to keep thinking about the things you want or don't have yet. We are very thankful for our little Dimaggio. Happy New Year!
