Cloe is missing!
I have been meaning to make a post from my puppy Cloe’s point of view and I have waited too long. Now she is missing and has been since yesterday morning. I got yesterday morning and let her, Jake, and Scotty out to go to the bathroom like I do every morning and they all usually come back right away. Well my husband and I had to leave about an hour later to finish our grocery shopping and only Scotty had come back. This was not the first time that Jake and Cloe took off but it has been a while and we thought they had learned their lesson not to do it anymore. So we went shopping and expected both Cloe and Jake to be back in the yard waiting for us like they were last time they did this but as we pulled up, only Jake was sitting in the yard waiting. Cloe was not home yet! I was worried right away but not too much because my dogs are well trained. After putting the grocery’s away I decided to take a walk up and down the road and yell for Cloe. She didn’t come to me when I yelled for her. I searched and searched and got more worried as time passed. My husband kept telling me not to worry and that she will be back. Well it is now almost 1:30 am on the second of January and she has still not come home. I am very worried and afraid for her.
I pray to God that she comes scratching at the door anytime now. I am afraid to go to sleep without her being in the house safe and sound with us and the rest of our animal children. She is only 6 months old and I am afraid something has happened to her or she would have been back long before this.
All I keep thinking is what if she was hit by a car and ran up the woods and can’t make it home because she is so hurt? If that happened then she will suffer and die if she has not already. Or what if someone shot her? We have hunters that live up and down the road where we live and I have heard gunshots today. I am so afraid and sick with worry. Then there is the possibility that someone picked her up and took her home with them. If so then what if it is someone who likes to torture animals? What if she is being hurt right now? If someone did pick her up, I hope they are good people who don’t hurt animals. Still, I want her back. She is the baby of the family and I love her! I want my Cloe home with us!
I even took Jake and Scotty outside with me earlier and told them to find her. I know it sounds crazy but animals are smart. Jasper and Sammy were barking their heads off all day and I kept running outside to see if Cloe had come home yet. All I can do is sit her and hope and pray that she comes home or she is safe. I lost one dog last year on the 16th of January. Her name was Freckles and she was sick. She died right in front of me because I wasn’t able to get her to the vet in time. I don’t want to lose Cloe too! Please God let my puppy be ok. I can’t have children and losing a pet is like losing a child to me.
I will update this when or if she comes home. If she doesn’t come home I will still update this blog and talk about her life and how much joy she brought me and my husband! I don’t even have a picture of her yet!
ETA: Cloe is back! Oh thank you God! It is now 2:22 am January 2nd and she is back! I wonder where she was all this time? I don’t care because she is back and everything I was worried about is over. She did not get hit by a car or get shot! She did not get dognapped by someone who mistreats animals! My puppy is home safe and sound and I am so happy right now!
As soon as she ran in the door I grabbed her in my arms and held her for a while! I missed her and was so worried but my baby girl is home! Now she is not going to be alound to run loose for a while. I have to teach her not to do that again. I am just so happy that she is back!
