Yesterday we went to see about Mira , she is still in a lot of pain. This is what happened while we were gone.

They shoot loud tanks and guns which get really loud several miles from here in National guard training. The days they shoot it literally scares Patches about to death. She shakes uncontrollably and pants like crazy and paces all over the house. She was scared because they were shooting when we left but we had to go on and leave her for the first time. We were gone several hours and when we came home we couldn't find her anywhere. I thought she might have slipped out the door when I went out last. I walked the neighborhood calling her. One family said they petted her and she was real friendly then they went back inside and didn't know where she went. No one else I asked had seen her. I called and called her and walked entirely to much. Ken got in the car and hunted me down. I wanted to ride around and look for her so we rode several streets then got on the main road and I spotted her in a yard with two dogs. A man was sitting in the doorway with the door open. Ken whirled into the other road real quick and stopped and called her. I could already see her watching the car. She came running and ran out in front of a car which when they saw her they slowed down. That was one happy little girl that hopped in the car when Ken opened the door. Tail was wagging ninety miles an hour. I shed a few tears and said thank you Lord.
We really don't know if she slipped out when I did or climbed the fence trying to find us. She has never climbed the fence before. She was one happy little girl and I was one happy Mama. She is so friendly if anyone had tried to pick her up she would have went with them plus there are big dogs around here at times.
These were made this morning. It's hard to believe Ken just cut that grass the last part of the week.
