She's home!!!

We give dogs time we can spare,

space we can spare

and love we can spare. And in return,

dogs give us their all.

It's the best deal man

ever made.

Bentley is home! I am so thankful and I believe that she is too.

Thanks to the kindness of strangers, she was safe the entire time she was gone. A man in my neighborhool found her in his yard and took her to a local vet. He then posted signs up and down a main street regarding a dog that has been found....... So nice of him and the vet that kept her until I came for her.

During this process, I have heard "She is just a dog...." - I know that and I would have been a person saying that in the past, but she is more than a dog to me. She is my loyal companion, she makes me laugh, she is there when I cry and I feel her love for me. Dogs are amazing and wonderful.

In the search for Bentley I had to go to the pound. Oh, my.......so sad to see so many beautful, sweet dogs there. Don't get a dog if you aren't going to care for it. They feel pain, loneliness, etc....I hated seeing them in cages. Open your hearts to a pet....go to the pound and get a dog. They will love you for your kindness and your life will never be the same.

What a journey in 24 hours. I appreciate all the concern from my family and help from my sister. I am thankful to all who prayed and especially to the friend who cared enough to pray with me at 5 in the morning.

I am blessed.
