Our Star is Home

Back on Tuesday July 29 our dog went missing after the earthquake. Her name is Star and our family was devastated. We put up over 100 signs in the surrounding area and had neighbors, friends and family looking for her. We checked the pound often but we lost hope in the search. Yesterday my neighbor called at about 9:30 am saying he had found our dog on the Riverside Shelters website. We had many false alarms in the last 6 weeks so I was skeptical that it was really her. I checked the site and sure enough, there she was. Tears were streaming down my face as I looked at my husband, he was feeling the same emotion. We rushed to the pound and verified she had been found. We are nothing short of amazed. God is good and has blessed us deeply with this miracle. Of course I had to take pictures so we could remember this day.

Here is Star before getting her first bath. She has lost over 20 pounds in the last 6 weeks. She always hated getting wet and soapy.

She also doesn't like the camera. She runs and hides as soon as she sees me with it.
Here she is all clean. Safe and sound in my boys room.

After her bath we took her to be professionally cleaned and to get a flea dip. Poor thing is covered in fleas. We then took her to the vet. She is on an antibiotic and something to help her stomach while adjusting to eating again. We are so thankful to have her back. A big thank you to all our friends and family for praying and helping us look for her. A huge HUG goes out to our neighbor for finding her on the shelters site.
