TO THE WOMAN WHO BROUGHT MY NUGGET HOME LAST NIGHTโฆ THANK YOU. โค๏ธ
Something absolutely terrifying happened after the storm last night, and I didnโt even know it was happening.
I had already given up on the power coming back, took my meds and went to sleep. Nugget is doing well enough now that he can use his doggy door on his own, so when he went outside, there was no reason to think anything was wrong.
What none of us realized was that the storm hadnโt just brought down a tree in our front yard. It had also broken part of our backyard fence, which had been locked and secure.
And Nugget, being the curious little boy he is, found the opening and went exploring.
Apparently, he made his way around to our front door and was barking, trying to get our attention. We didnโt hear him. I was sound asleep.
At some point, my parents heard someone banging on the front door. A woman told them she had almost hit Nugget because my poor baby had wandered into the road. By that point, I think he was just looking for people.
Thankfully, this was still in my neighborhood, and somehow, in what feels like an absolute miracle to me, she recognized Nugget from my Facebook. And the cone sealed the deal.
She picked him up. She knew who he belonged to. And she brought my baby home.
I never got to speak to her because I was asleep through all of it. I donโt know who you are, but I really hope you see this.
Thank you. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I cannot begin to describe how incredibly stressed and distraught I would be if something happened to Nugget. That little dog is my family. He is my baby. And knowing how differently last night could have ended makes me sick to even think about.
You saw him. You stopped. You recognized him. You kept him safe. And you brought my Nugs back home to my family.
You obviously know where I live ๐ so please feel free to swing by sometime. I would love the chance to actually meet you and thank you properly.
After a night when this storm caused so much damage and chaos for so many people, Iโm just overwhelmingly grateful that someone cared enough to make sure one little lost dog made it safely back to his family.
Thank you for taking care of my baby when I didnโt even know he needed someone to take care of him. โค๏ธ๐พ
And yesโฆ the fence is being addressed IMMEDIATELY. Nuggetโs unauthorized neighborhood adventure career is officially over.
