Now these were just your run of the mill, backyard, grade females, but he had raised them from puppies, and Sassy and Susie were his "girls".
They hit a deer on him and I guess the shockers he had borrowed from a friend wasnt tight enough on them, because they were gone.
Heartsick him and my mom drove around for the rest of the day, and Chad and him looked long after dark for them. Coyotes are bad where they were lost and these girls were so out of shape and fat, they wouldnt have stood a chance.
Nobody could find them, and ad was put in the paper, and needless to say Christmas wasnt quite as joyfull as it could have been.
Time went on and we had given up on them, when 13 days later a phone call was received.
A man driving around some back roads had found Sassy and was bringing her home. Thin and just about froze. As happy as we were, we also was afraid that if Sassy had left Susie, then she was probably dead.
My phone rang this morning, when my step-dad had looked up the road by their house guess who was slowly walking down the road coming home....Susie.
Thin and very cold, she had made it home. My mom was crying and she said my step-dad was about to. They had prayed for these little hounds everyday since they had been gone.
I am thankful that in this time of bad news, jobs being lost, and a war going on, their is a little spot of sunshine around our family now. We are thankful for the girls coming home.
Great news 
Theres nothing like getting one back that is lost!
