I am so sorry for your aunt and uncle. I know when I was in TN one year, my little Ginny Wren went missing. We were so lucky. She was found. But she had went through fields to get to this one ladies house. I was devastated as I know they are. We got up the next morning and saw a coyote smelling around near the woods at the end of one of the fields. We were lucky. It was heart wrenching. We all cried when she was found.
I really feel for their heartache! They are just like children.
That's my little Ginny Wren in the pic with the pink bandana.
