Hey all I found my dog!!!!! I lost my 3lb yorkie on 8-13-06 at approx. 3:30pm. She was in her lil kennel in the front of the house and got out thru the gate of her kennel. (My lil niece left the door open by mistake) She ran across the street and a neighborhood boy rang our doorbell but no one answered. My dad was out front staining our decks. I went to bring her in and noticed she was gone. My dad had no clue she was gone.. (talk about lack of attn to detail) Anyhoo, we find the boy who tried to inform us of her absence and he told us she ran down a path in the woods down the street from our house.  So the boy and his friends rode their bikes down the woods and my parents followed behind them but she couldn't be found. I had to get ready for work which bummed me out   Then the next day 8-14-06 I got back from work late around 7am and walked down the path to the woods. I'm telling ya if you don't know where u are goin u can easily get lost. I took the right path cus the left path was covered with water and lead to the lakes. I knew my dog wouldn't have gone that route. As I'm walking down the "right" path I see a furry lil animal stop, look at me and run. I chased after it thinking it was my pebbles screaming her name.. My foot slipped into a thick mud puddle slowing me down. But to my findings I believe it was a bunny and I lost it. Gosh can u believe that? My real first true foot pursuit and a bunny dipped on me. lol Ok so movin on... I stop when I reach an open area with 3 different paths to take. At this point I was like ummm NO I need more people for this search.

Ok so my mom gets home from work and I take her down the woods to show her this clearing of paths. She agreed with me that I needed more people. But as we were walking my mom almost slipped in a mud puddy lol she grabbed all the trees I told her not to including poison ivy. Luckily she didn't get it. So we leave to inform people of our lost dog and talk about where we could leave postings up at. We get back home to find that my dad and our next door kid went down to the woods to search for her. They called her name repeatedly and she barked 3 times for them. They try to find her but have no clue where she's at. So they run back to inform me. I got 3 more people for the search and we were all searchin and callin her name. I stood still and was thinking to myself what path she'd most likely take then as I slowly looked up I could see her standing on a tree trunk staring directly at me. I was so shocked, the first thought that ran thru my head was.. "Jesus am I seeing things or is this really pebbles before me?" My second thought was "How in the world did she get up there?" Sure enough it was her! I screamed "There she is!" Everyone was like where. I had to jump in a 3 foot stream to get her. She was so excited to see me I just told her to stay still. It felt so good to have her in my arms. I was so wet n muddy and I didn't even care. As we were walkin back we got stuck in a mud swamp and started sinking. We had to make a human chain and pull each other out of it. I had to secure pebbles and my cell phone. So as we finally walk back towards the entrance of the woods I'm calling like everyone on my cell tellin them of the good news! We found her at 6:45pm 8-14-06.

We were so grateful of Jesus blessing us with the finding of our dog and making sure she was safe the entire time. We took a picture of our rescue team. I'm happy that I was able to take the day off work. My job understood the importance of this day and most jobs wouldn't. Pebbles is nice and clean and ate so much! I can't begin to tell u all the goodness God has done for me in my life. God is a good God all the time. Jesus is real people and He hears your prayers. All you need is a lil faith to stand on and He'll do the rest. Walk by faith not by sight! (2 Corinthians 5:7)
