I write to thank you and your wonderful blog for posting BUDDY’s picture when he was lost. After twelve days, five thousand flyers, and one blog later, we were reunited. There aren’t the words to express my happiness. If David Letterman were to show up at my funeral to read “THE TOP TEN BEST THINGS TO HAPPEN IN SHERRY’S LIFE” finding Buddy would be on that list. It was magical.

Since then, Buddy has been enjoying life, giving more love and devotion than a trained service animal. He always insists on being right by my side. He is showered with kisses, and spends his time watching seagulls and boats sail by from the balcony. As CEO of pest control, Buddy killed a bee recently. Three anti-inflammatory shots and two antibiotic shots later, Buddy’s left cheek is on the way to a full recovery. For his valor and bravery, he was awarded a purple mouse.

Moving is SO traumatic for dogs and cats alike, both before and after the move. We never know what their sensory experience, level of trauma, or reaction will be. Buddy was very content being an indoor cat, yet the move traumatized him so much that he bolted out the front door.

Special thanks for putting Buddy’s photo in the Update. Angels were watching over us. Your kindness will always be remembered.
