Your Doggie's return is terrific news. (I've been out much of the day so I'm just catching up.)
Few things in life are as traumatic as losing a pet or as exhilarating as finding it again. When I lost the dog I grew up with (someone had poisoned her), my parents didn't want to tell me until I returned from college. I sat in our backyard patting the grass that had grown up over her grave for an hour. (We think her son had been abducted a year before to be sold to a local medical school.) The loss can be devastating.
Let's hope your neighbors will soon experience that same wonderful feeling you felt when Doggie returned.

Thank you, Dearest Nan, 'Dita, Polly, and OESY for your Kind Posts and Prayers! OESY, your Post Brought Tears to my Eyes when I Thought of you Patting the Grass over her Grave. Where I Live in the Country, Dogs are Occasionally Poisoned by Sons of Belial, and One of my Neighbor's Dogs was Murdered a Couple of Years Ago by Someone with a Rifle or Shotgun. :(
My Husband, Doggie, and I Searched for a Long Time this Evening for the Neighbor's Dog, Daisy, but Found Nothing, and I was Watching Doggie Closely to See if she would Go to Daisy, but she didn't. My Heart Goes Out to her Hurting Owners, and Thank you All for your Prayers for this Situation.
