Bring Her Back Home

This summer looks be starting just like the last with Sydney disappearing on us for some adventure/misadventure.  She left on Wednesday and finally returned last night.  I was already in bed when I heard the barking and have never run so fast up the stairs.  You know in the movies, when people have been waiting to meet each other and everything is in slow motion? - well, it's not like that at all!  I whistled for her and she came running full-speed ahead.  So yes, sometimes God answers the prayers that sound most ridiculous - please keep my dog safe and bring her back home to me!
