I'm very thankful to a boy named Travis this week. I don't know him and have never met him. He called me on Wednesday about noon to tell me that he had found Bonnie, the Beagle, on Meadowlark Drive (over a mile from our house). He looked at her tags and called the number - my cell phone. I thanked him profusely on the phone and asked if he could stay there with Bonnie while I called my mother-in-law to come pick her up.
And the thing is, he had just been kicked out of school and was walking home (about a 2-3 mile walk). He could have so easily passed Bonnie and kept walking. Some boy at school had poured Gatorade on him and he responded by pouring his drink on the other boy, so they expelled him (with only 4 days left to go in the school year).
My mother-in-law picked up Bonnie and gave Travis a ride to Cookie's Market where his mom worked. And that was that. I pray that God blesses Travis and watches over him.
And Bonnie - well, she's inside today, sleeping on the sofa. Oh, the adventures she has had.
Peace.
How long was she gone?
ReplyDeleteShe was only gone for part of a morning - Travis called me just before noon, so it wasn't too long...
