Nelly's Back!

Our dog, Nelly, was hit by a car on Monday morning. The car was probably driving at least 45 mph and the impact broke the car's headlight. We found out about it a few hours after it happened when we spoke to a neighbor who spoke to the driver of the car which hit Nelly. Apparently, Nelly ran off after it happened. Since then we have been searching for her in the fields and talking to neighbors. And, the kids have shed many tears. Cade said all he wanted for Christmas was Nelly back home. Well, his wish came true this afternoon, three-plus days later, when we got a call from my brother, James, that Nelly showed up at their doorstep (we were at Chad's parents for Thanksgiving dinner). She was very dirty, hungry, thirsty and has lost about 10 of her 75 lbs. She is also limping but otherwise she seems very good. Nieces Searra and Selene gave her a bath including a shampoo and blow dry! And she is now sleeping at home. Our kids are so excited, it is very sweet to see. We are all glad to have Nelly home again!
