She went to check on a trap we set out last night, and saw Lucy inside the grounds of the embassy next door. So she laid down near the place in the fence where Lucy could squeeze out, put out some chicken, and waited.
Lucy eventually came over to sniff, and as soon as she realized this body was one of her people, she ignored the chicken and commenced a thorough licking of Sarah's face.
The rest is fairly unimportant. She's home. She's incredibly dirty. My white dog is really a gray dog right now. But she seems completely unscratched; I haven't found a single wound on her. She's skinny -- she definitely lost weight, but not nearly as much as I would have thought, for having been lost a month. (To the day today, it is one month.) She drank roughly half a gallon of water after getting home. I'm not exaggerating. Maybe more than half a gallon.
Now we're waiting to get a vet appointment to get her checked out. Great day in the morning my Lucy is home. What a good feeling.
LUCY IS HOME! Those are the 3 best words I have heard in such a very long time. I am so happy for you guys, and of course for lucy. Brown says "rest up Lucy, you have quite a story to tell me next time we get together and play!"
