Last night was NOT my best night. Kitty Jingo was nowhere to be found and the temperature outside was dropping rapidly. Normally, she will not stay outside when it is cold so I knew that something was not right.
My husband, Greg, goes outside to look for her armed with the cat food container. He walks around the yard while continuously shaking the nuggets loudly. Since Jingo LOVES to eat, the sound of her food usually pulls her toward the front door immediately. When Greg walks back inside without Jingo, my heart sinks. Everything is pointing toward a reality I do not want to face. I stay up until midnight, waiting and hoping that she will come home. Finally, I go to bed with both ears open.
I awake at 2:30 a.m. and pop out of bed. My thoughts start racing. "Jingo is missing!! I've got to find her." I open every door and use my loudest voice to call her. Nothing.
I notice that Banjo, my other kitty, is not sleeping on the bed like she normally does so I start searching for her. When I see Banjo crouched in front of Greg's closet door, I feel hope creep into my heart. I know that Banjo is telling me, "Jingo is in there! Open the door and let her out!"
I slowly open the closet door and my long lost Jingo saunters out. She gives me a look that says, "I missed dinner. Feed me now!" I pick up Jingo and give her the biggest bear hug ever! I am so grateful to have the chance to scoop her up into my arms and hug her, hug her, hug her!
(Greg and I had both looked inside this closet for Jingo and saw no sign of her. Had no idea that she was inside the house the whole time!)
Twenty Four hours later....
Jingo peacefully sleeps on her favorite chair and my heart swells as I notice that tonight is one of my best nights ever!
THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Blessing to you and your fur-babies too!
