We got the call from the Johns Creek area and the Huffman family yesterday afternoon around 5:00 p.m. to pick up Belle. She came in at the Nathan/George Canode place. We just kept hoping we would see her coming down the path off the mountain but glad the Huffmans called us when she came in. Their girls were out playing in the field and Belle came to them. They realized what bad shape she was in and knew we were looking for a dog. They looked at the tag on her collar and took her straight to the house for Barbara to take care of and call us. Hearing her message on the phone was the best thing I could have heard yesterday.
You won’t believe how bad Belle looks and you can count every rib in her body and her eyes are extremely week. We warmed up some special food for her and put warm water in her bowl. She was more concerned about curling up in that warm bed of extra heavy hay. It’s been a week last night that she’s been out in the weather, no food and no shelter. I’m so glad she’s home!! Dad sure is in a much better mood now that his girl is home!, too! It’s going to take some time to get her back to the condition she was in when we lost her. She sure was glad to get in her warm bed and Eddie put her food bowl in her bed last night so she wouldn’t have to come out in the wind to eat. She wouldn’t be with us this morning if she had spent another night in the cold that we had last night. It was 7* when we got up at 8:00 this morning, the ground is covered with snow again and the wind is howling.
I want to thank all of you for helping us hunt for her and the prayers you sent to find her!! Thank you everyone!!

Thank you so much!! That means a lot to me being you’re a writer. I just do it for fun and to let people know what it’s like to live on a farm. Hope you’ll continue to follow me.
I am soooo happy she is home
Prayers answered 
I am so glad you found her. I’m thinking she will not follow her noses so very closely next time. A really hard steep learning curve!
