A few weeks ago Jadon went with some friends duck hunting and they took Jennie ... I wont say "I told you so" but I do recall saying to take her leash ;) By the time they got to the river Jennie wasn't in the back of the pickup, so they turned around and searched for a couple hours until dark. Then Jadon called and told me he couldnt find her.... I have never felt so sick to my stomach. We went back and looked but chances of finding her especially at night was almost none. The next day me and my mom looked all morning, later me and Jadon hung lost signs and Tyler helped us look. Of course I was worried, she is just a pup... but I just kept thinking somehow she would come home and I just wanted to know what happened... not knowing if she was ok or hurt, the unkown is the worst! We prayed that we would just at least know what happened to her and that people would be honest in contacting us, Jadon reassured me this was a test of patience... which is a lot easier said than done.
Two days after she was missing Jadon got a call that Jennie had shown up at a guys house, a couple miles away from where they were on the river! He was truly an answer to our prayers... an honest man who wouldn't accept anything! I couldn't have been happier to see her :) She was pretty scratched up, hungry and tired... but very happy to be home :) The vet said she must have fallen out of the pickup because if she would have jumped she would have broken her legs... tough girl took the fall right on her face. She didn't have skin on her lower lip, which the vet was surprised didn't break her jaw.. no skin on her left cheek and a cut on the left leg.
She is almost all healed up now... and as wild as ever:) She is still pretty scared of the pickup and a lot of things... but I think she is just as glad to be home as we are to have her home! I can't believe how lucky we are to have found her when chances are almost nothing and that she wasn't hurt too bad. I know for some people it might seem like just a dog but once you go through it and lost an animal you are so attached to you don't fully understand how much they mean to you. Jadon kept telling me it was a test of patience, which I don't have much of and I truly believe it was, it might seem small to some but it showed me the power of prayer and faith! I'm so grateful for our family and friends for helping us and for honest people! We love you Jennie!
Ouch Jennie... that really hurt ;) poor girl
yes... cant believe I let her in our tub all dirty
This is by far the best picture! My mom wont admit how much she loves to cuddle with Jennie when we aren't around..;) she even missed Jennie so much when she was gone she now said she would actually cuddle with her so I had to get a picture of proof! ha love you mom
All clean and happy to be home :)
