Last night my husband received an email from his mom saying that his dog, Heidi, went missing. She is 12 years old and they have had her since she was a puppy. They posted a "Lost" ad on Craigslist, posted flyers throughout the neighborhood, and drove around for hours looking for her.

We had plans to go to a Durham Bulls game tonight, but we were thinking of cancelling those plans so that we could drive around and look for Heidi. We were trying to be optimistic, but in the back of our minds we were fearing the worst.

Then, this morning my husband received another email from his Mom. Here is the email:

Subject: Re: Heidi missing

Heidi is back and safe and sound! She found her way into a neighbor's garage last night. I was putting up flyers when another neighbor told me where she was (it was the neighbor behind him)...and she is now sleeping off her ordeal on the back porch! Heidi and I are both SO relieved and happy!

Love, Mom

YAY!!! We are so happy that she is back home safe and sound.  Too many animals go missing and are never seen again, so needless to say this email made our day.  Now our plans for the baseball game are back on! Woot!
