No headache could diminish the feelings of pure joy I experienced when I walked out the door to feed Next this morning.
Yes, prayers were answered,
Enough, or Nuffy, is home.
There is a lesson here.
And I'm so relieved it turned out this way.
He was very hungry, and very happy to see me.
Within 20 minutes, they were both in their respective chairs for a morning nap, like two little old men.
At last, their world is OK again.
And I will be sure to keep it that way.
In spite of the heat, and after texting EVERYONE about Nuffy......I managed to work on my cotton and hemp placemats.
They are a little change of pace for me..........neutrals, an understatement.
The inside cats are glaring from the window.
Get over it, I say.
This picture seems to say it all............"we're home" ....."thank God" "ahhh".
And goes to prove one simple truth........sometimes love chooses YOU, and not the other way around.
Oh YAY... yay, yay YAY! You made me cry. You're so right.. it does the choosing.
ReplyDeleteSo glad he's back!

YIPEEEEE! Love the pic of the boys in their chairs. Yes, they are home. I hope you feel honored that they chose you. They're some fine boys. Three cheers for happy endings. Becky
ReplyDeleteI am so happy about both boys coming home. It is really amazing that they found their way back home. You are so blessed. That doesn't always happen when pets leave home. I have been checking back every few hours hoping a new post would be up saying Enough was back. It made my day when I found out he was back. I know you where happy when you saw him.
ReplyDeleteYea!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad the family is together again!
I'm almost in tears here. I love cats so much and this is one of the reasons. whew.........
ReplyDeleteHow can two kitties I barely even heard of a few weeks ago give me such pleasure today? I am thrilled, just thrilled that they are reunited with you, their chosen human! Perfect!!! My day is filled with happiness now. Really, I'm amazed how much it matters...
ReplyDeleteWhoo Hoo!!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear Enough is back. I've been checking every day hoping to see this happy news.
ReplyDeleteOh this is wonderful news! Look how happy(and comfortable) they are! :)
ReplyDeleteAs the owner of 7 cats, I understand exactly what you mean....
ReplyDeleteSo glad! (sniff)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy both Next and Nuffy found their way back to you, back to home. Please give them welcome home hugs for me.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to know the boys are home. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful! I lost my sweet calico several years ago--she slipped out a door that wasn't fastened shut and never saw her again. On my FB page the lost and found has been featuring a post about a traveling nurse who lost her calico when she stopped at a Cracker Barrel restaurant. She says she will not leave until she finds her--so far it's been 3 weeks.
ReplyDeleteIt does my heart good to read that your cats are home. xo
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you. I know the angst you were feeling, and the relief when you opened that door and peered down at a returned cat. And yes, sometimes loves choses you...
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord and do the "Happy Snoopy Dance"!
ReplyDeleteYESSSSS!!! He's home .. and you are right .. they choose us
ReplyDeleteOh jeeze oh petes, the ONE day I don't read your blog and it ends up being the day I was hoping for. HUZZAH Enough is home where he belongs. I just knew he would make it back. I am so very pleased for you and for him!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Enough is home! My cat Gem and I prayed for him! Thank God and Bless you and your family.
