She's Back!

Tonight our prayers were answered in that Penny was found safe and sound! 

Apparently a neighbour found her curled up under a hedge on Thursday morning and took her in. What with him being an elderly farmer he's been looking after dogs all his life so she spent her time away sleeping in a barn being fed chicken and doggie treats!

When we got her back she was extremely happy to be home and loved the pampering we gave her. She was so so lucky not to get run over as his house is a fair distance from ours and across a main road.

It's amazing having her back and I just thought I'd let you know as well as thank you all for your positive words and prayers. It meant a lot!

My Heart Is Aching

It's amazing the difference 24 hours makes. Only last night I was enjoying a lovely night out in Belfast with Paul at Derren Brown's Svengali show only to come home and find out that my beloved dog Penny has run away.

We think the gate to the backyard was lying open all night and despite our best search efforts, she could be anywhere by now. Especially considering we're surrounded by a shitload of fields - something a dog would find hard to resist. We're going to search for her again later but we're seriously hoping she comes back when she's hungry. 

I'm really upset about this as you can imagine and worried about her because she's deaf and at least 90 in dog years so even if she does make it back, the journey will probably kill her.

But hopefully she's a fighter...
