Fat, fat Jack Can you believe it? Well I still can't either! Someone called me at 9pm tonight saying they thought they might have my dog, who went missing the begining of October. They found him wandering around on Main Street and he ran right up to this man. I didn't get my hopes up, but drove 15 minutes to the next town to see if it was him. When I first got there and saw how big he was, I instantly said it wasn't him. But I sat down to play with him and he attacked me with kisses and almost knocked me over. The guy said, "Wow, he hasn't responded to anyone like this". Then I looked closer and realized that my Jack was in there, he was just REALLY FAT!!!! I think he must have hit his grown spurt (he was still in puppy size 4 months ago), must have been fed really well and didn't get a lot of excercise. Still not 100% sure, I took him home since they said he was going to the pound in the morning if I didn't take him. On the way home, he sat in my lap the whole time. When we pulled in the culda-sac, he was greeting by both neighbors and lots of kids in pj's and he was totally home. He took off with his BFF Molly Knudsen (who he was with when he went missing) and I knew it was him. He got a bath, snuggled a lot and is snorring in his room, fast asleep. Bronco, the new pug, is still yelping in the bathroom across the house, not liking Jack at all. Hopefully a day of playing outside tomorrow will create a new friendship. Oh, and the best part is, whoever stole my dogs for 4 months just recently got him fixed. I hope that dog stealer feels like crap. Ugh. On the way home, Troy said, "Mom, I guess prayers really do work." since he had prayed for months after Jack left. What a miracle!!!

Now, I hope you can handle two dogs. We have two and they drive me crazy! :) It is like having two more kids! Anyway.... I am glad to hear the happy ending to your story.
Erin how cool, and you got the best part of the deal "if you wanted him fixed" I'm happy for your kids. yeah
That is great... I bet your boys are so happy. That is crazy that they contacted you after this long. How sad if he would have gone to the pound:( Im happy he's back, good luck adjusting with 2:)
Erin, that is so amazing. Bryan told me as soon as he found out. We're so happy for you! How weird that whoever had him got him fixed... bet they're wondering where the dog they stole is now.
That is crazy!!! I'm so glad he's home. Are you mad about him being fixed?? I knew he had papers. I bet the kids are so happy! That is awesome!
I am so glad he is back! How do you feel about having two dogs?! ;) That is super cute Troy got his prayers answered. Great story!
What a sweet story about your little boy praying! Glad that jack finally came home...I guess Bronco will have to learn how to share now. Horray for someone responding to your lost dog poster a couple of months late!
Hooray!!!!!!! Little Jack is back!
What a crazy story! I hope the two get along together.
That is so AWESOME!!! What a faith promoting experience for Troy. I cannot believe that you got him back. This is the best story of 2009 so far!
That is so cool!!! What an amazing story! I am so happy for you and your family. I bet Jack is happy to be back home too!
No freaking way...that really is a miracle! now you have two dogs, I hope they become friends! No news on homes yet, sadly! Congrats on getting your dog back!
What the heck! I have never heard of anything like that! That is so exciting that he is back, after forever long!
That's the best news I've heard in a while! Fortunately, this means you don't have to tell the boys he was killed by a bear anymore. What a mother...
WOW! I've been away from blog land for a good long time. I can't believe Jack is back! It is super cool. Congrats on bringing that little family member home.
