The Lost is Found!!!

When I took this picture, I think that Georgia had begun to feel the hurt
 in her leg due to the shot the vet gave her. She was limping a bit when I
went out to check on her and then when she went over to get
 a drink, she kept her leg stiff and laid down to sip her water!
Poor kitty!  But considering four months away,
she is really in pretty good shape...though I didn't take a picture
from an angle that would show her wounds!  They show that
she is a bit the worse for the time away from us!

I can't believe that I can tell the tale that I will tell tonight!  And, a true tale it is!  Last night after 9pm Kathy received a phone call which she figured was a telemarketer due to the number being an unknown...so she didn't answer it.  Well, soon after the first call another came from the same number and she decided that she would answer.  The voice on the other end of the line informed her that he was calling from an 24-hour veterinary clinic and that he had her cat Paula Peaches.  Kathy asked where he was as she had just seen Peaches in their window in the last 20 minutes.  He said that he was in Murfreesboro.  After getting a description of the cat, she realized that he was describing Georgia.  Georgia has been missing for a little over 4 months now so this was a big surprise.  Someone had found her outside a Subway (guess Georgia was hungry!) and had brought her to the vet due to her having some injuries.  She had been chipped (though, obviously their chips had been mixed up since she had the one with Peaches' name!). Nathan called on his sister to go to the vet and rescue her.  Melany did and they kept her in one of their bathrooms for the night.  Tis morning Nathan drove Esther and Joseph to Murfreesboro to pick up Georgia from Melany's house.  Erin was taking good care of her till they got there.  They came back to the house and picked up Georgia's papers from her adoption and vet records and took her to a vet here in town.  They had originally gone to a vet in Winchester, but getting a vet closer to home made sense.  The vet is pretty sure that she had been in a fight with a cat and that Georgia hadn't come out on the winning side.  She has several wounds on her chest.  The vet shaved her, out some salve on them, gave her a shot and also some oral antibiotics that Kathy plans to start administering tomorrow morning.  The vet told them that she needs to be kept inside for at least a week...till her wounds have healed.  Nathan is allergic (He was having a terrible time by the time he got home from having her in the van with him and also being at the vet...he headed to the shower to hopefully clear his head!).  Since they can't have her in their house, she is now being sheltered on our sun porch at the back of the house.  I went out to take a picture of her so I could I post it but the laptop says that we have no internet connection so I have had topmost on the iPad so no picture tonight.  Just able to share the good news that Georgia is home!  Esther is very happy, as everyone is! (Nathan came over and got the laptop up and going with the internet again so I have added the picture of sweet Georgia!)

Woody goes to his orthopedic surgeon tomorrow.  This is his yearly checkup, but I think the timing is right, as his leg has been bothering him lately.  I'll report tomorrow night.
