Thought for sure that was it...

I thought last night Oreo was gone for good. Marsel left the door open to the garage by accident. And we're not sure how long it was open before we saw it. Joel's brother, Marcel and wife, Eunice where hanging out, so Joel and Marcel jumped in the car. And I started checking between houses where they have gone before when they make a break for it. And they were no where. It was really scaring me because I passed a bunch of ducks and 3 cats, and I know Oreo would never just pass any of them. One of the kids a couple of doors down heard me bellowing for Krypto and Oreo and came out to help me. I mean I was screaming for them. When I rounded the corner a car came up behind me and asked if I was looking for the 2 dogs. They told me that Joel and Marcel had already gotten Krypto and that a man in a white car had picked up Oreo and they were pretty sure that they all had connected to get Oreo. (Joel told me after it was all over, that those people are our new neighbors from across the street that I didn't recognize.) Joel said that they were actually out of their car trying to get the boys were Joel pulled up. He said they had pulled their car over and even left the doors open. I was so worried than about were Oreo was. I instantly starting thinking that this man had taken Oreo and left. I know I thanked them, but not enough. I'm going to go over there tomorrow to really say thank you. So anyway, I walked to the end of the street and I saw where Joel had pulled over, but I didn't see them get out or anything. Then they pulled away. So I thought that was it. Thought they couldn't find Oreo. I started walking back to the house. And Reshaud, (neighbor boy) it walking back. He asked me did they get them. I told him they had Krypto, but didn't know about Oreo. And I was crying. Sniffling too. I can't tell you how relieved I was when I saw Marcel get out carrying Krypto, and Joel holding Oreo by the collar. Right before that, I was thinking, trying to prepare myself for them being gone. No Moosie next to me in bed, stealing the covers and snoring in my ear.
I was stilling crying, more out of relief when I walked in the house. (BTW, Eunice stayed with the kids. We didn't just run out leaving them there.) Adrian saw me crying and came running. He said "Mommy, Mommy. Up. Up" Then he tilted his head to look at my face, then he hugged me, he laid his head on my shoulder and patted my back. He said something about Oreo and Coco, then babbled something. (Coco is my mom's dog, and this is what he calls Krypto.)This was so sweet, that it made me tear up a bit more. (Yeah, I know, what a wuss.) He had some kind of understanding of what was going on. He knew I was crying and it had to do with the dogs.
Later on, we were sitting around and Adrian was playing with Marcel. He would run up to him yelling "Tio. Tio." Then he said some stuff that Marcel didn't understand, but I got it. He was asking if Krypto and Oreo could come out of their cages. Marcel told him "No, they were bad boys. They're in timeout." Adrian ran over to their cages and starting wagging his finger at them and saying "No, No Oreo, Coco." The kid's not stupid.
So anyway, they're both home now. And I'm so grateful for the people across the street, the guy who got Oreo and stayed there and waited, Joel and Marcel. And every person who drove by and didn't hit them. Thank you Lord for watching over my boys and bringing them home.
