Happy Encounters — Description
This beautiful lady we called Sammy for the past few months since she had been wandering around our yard and neighborhood. We knew she had to have belonged to someone because she was obviously well fed, but we made sure she didn't want for food whenever she hung around our house. In the past month she'd jump up on our grill and give me kisses on the forehead in appreciation of all our attentions. We always kept our eye out for notices in the local paper, at the grocery store and never saw anything displaying her as a lost cat. After losing Frankie this summer, I was starting to get anxious about what we'd do about her when the winter came...

Then two weekends ago I hear a knock on our sliding glass door and a girl asks if this was our cat, I told her no, she was just a stray we fed occasionally. Turns out that Sammy was named Abby and Abby had bolted from their house this past summer, just a block and a half away! They thought something bad had happened to her and the lo and behold, as they were driving down the road she was hanging out in our yard. The girl was in tears, I was in tears, and I was so happy to hear she had a loving home that had missed her so much.

Last weekend I took this and another photo of Abby over to the family just happy that she had her family back--they say they will let her out again to wander in a few more weeks so we might see her again and maybe I'll get more kisses.
