I have so many people to thank for assisting in the search and rescue of Madison last week.  With diligent efforts, genuine concern, positive energy when mine waned, hundreds of searching eyes, and Madison's unfettered intention to come home, the universe conspired in ways even I couldn't have conjured to bring her back.  Perhaps at some point I'll find the words to share this story that I believe has inspiration, lessons, and truths on many levels.  In the mean tiime I send my sincere love and gratitude to everyone and anyone who contributed in any way to helping us find her.  Including:

       *Son for EVERY,EVERY thing - we make a great Detective team!
             *Pete for being in the right place at the right time and making the call that
led to finding our girl.
             *Zara and Anthony for taking good care of her and for understanding my need to crash                  your wedding rehearsal dinner,
             *Mr. & Mrs. Errichetto for your patience and diligence in helping to solve the
mysterious clues - some might have hung up and blocked my calls,
but you were amazing.
             *Amy for sticking it out for miles and hours to bring me to Madison.
*Minos for being my Internet Bureau ;-)
             *Jason for your positive energy and for caring so much.
             *Norma for being my co-detective and humoring my craziness and for tea and for keeping me grounded and hopeful.
             *Mark for lending me your wife and walking the tracks.
             *The Bartletts's for providing the clues that narrowed our search.
             *Aberdale's for offering to post flyers in every Sunday paper and for being open late                           enough for me to put up a sign and for Pete to see it.
             *The Canaan Truck Stop
             *Tor for taking the long route to look out for her.
             *Steve for being my Spencertown Bureau.
             *Mark and Cathy for being my Canaan Bureau.
             *The lady who approached me at the truck stop to ask for a picture so she could look.
             *The lady with the GIANT dog who made more copies for me.
*Every person who answered the door and offered to keep an eye out.
             *Everyone at Fuel - who recognized and asked about her.
             *The West Stockbridge Police
             *The Richmond Post Office
             *Perks in the Berks
             *The West Stockbridge General Store
             *The other store in West Stockbridge
             *Every DPW worker, landscaper, paver, and electrician we stopped along the way.
             *Every person who didn't have us arrested for trespassing,
             *Jackie for calling us back.
*The cows whom I knew were trying to tell me they had seen her!
*Laura for making the call I couldn't make.
*Emma for sitting with me to remind me I was  still among humanity.
*Di for the "delivery".
            
Love and blessings to each of you. I am happy to say that Madison is happy, healthy and micro-chipped, wearing a lovely collar jingling with every id we could think of.  Thank You Thank You Thank You!!  Give us a wave when you see us walking!
