Sunday night we had to let Ripley in, the puppy doesn't come in if you're standing at the door, so the door had to be left open. Usually she comes in fairly quick and the door can be closed,..
Oreo the cat, as of lately would go in and out of the door and stay on the porches, so we thought nothing of it as we closed the door and went to bed. We woke up the next morning wondering where Oreo had gone off to, searched the house up and down, and outside the house. We called for her, and never heard her, searched the woods behind the house and nothing still.
Over the past week we spent our time looking for Oreo, posting photos and missing cat flyers hoping that maybe she didn't go very far and someone would see her and or return her. We would stand on the porches and call for her, and hope that maybe she just got lost behind the house. There was an event Friday night at the school across the street from the house, and the fields lights where on, people were singing and doing contests, and Howlin and I were sitting in our swing, listening and joking around and I heard a cat, it was coming towards us and I elbowed Howlin to see if he heard it too. It was Oreo she was trying to come home.... but our dog, she didn't realize it was Oreo and took off after her chasing her back into the woods. We were out all night, until three in the morning walking the woods with flash lights calling for her, found a stray cat,.. and finally went to bed, leaving the windows open hoping that we would hear her come back.
Howlins mom stopped by yesterday to spend some time here and we stayed inside most the day, it was hot, but we had the fan running and the back door open, and we heard a cat again she was on the back porch but was really scared, and when I opened the door she ran under the porch and hid, Howlin and I try to get her to come out and finally,.. I got her, and ran with her inside the house. Finally our Oreo was home!! We now watch the doors like hawks, she will never be and outside cat, and never leave the house again! Hearts are now relieved.. the girl is home!!
Now that we have Oreo back,.. all our girls are home.. the Harley girls trio ... is now back together. Sophie in the front, Ripley behind Sophie and Oreo the cat!!
Happy Sug and Howlin
