lost & found

last night, in a thunderstorm,

maisy took off.

she has never run away in all of her 6 years.

we searched by scooter, bike, and car for 3 hours,

calling her name.

{"MAY-zee!  Maisy, come!"}

at one point, there was

thunder, lightning, and torrents of rain.

but, no little white doggy.

after staring at her empty dog bed,

i fell asleep feeling terrible.

this morning,

i was on the phone reporting our "lost dog"

when the mailman delivered a box from my mom.

maisy was right on his heels.

he said that she had been following him
all morning.

oh, maisy-girl.

what would we do without you, kooky dog?

but, that's not all

that happened yesterday...

emily had seen what she guessed was a wild rabbit

while she was walking the day before.

she headed out yesterday evening

saying she wanted to see if it was still there.

it was.

and it was very near a busy road.

she called and asked marian bring a box,

and the two of them were able to catch

THUMPER.

emily immediately made and posted

"FOUND BUNNY" signs.

(please let me know if you discover

that you have misplaced your bunny.)

hello, my name is catie.

i have three kids, two dogs, two ducks,

one cat, and someone else's rabbit.
