Monday morning my 2 dogs (Ice & xiao Bai) ran away from home. After work i came back and join my family and friends to search for them in the forest nearby.
It as super dark and only the guys can go inside the forest to look for them but we girls just hang outside and kept calling out their names. Saw Ice in the bushes but she kept running away. Imagine the frustration.
And my sister kept crying…just so difficult to manage. I went home with my dad around 3 am while the rest continued.
Next morning, forced myself to get ready for work, then realised my sister still crying and went into the forest alone, I had to apply for urgent leave. That morning, my sis, bro, dad and i got all prepared and went into the forest.
Seen the biggest red ants, about the size of 5 cent coin, bee hives, what we thought traces of illegal immigrants stuffs. And my dad tried to lighten up the atmosphere by teaching us combat training.Got so much insect bites that it still itches. The grass were so tall and sharp that we got so many cuts!
That night we heard news that they from old Tampines Road ran to Sengkang, Rivervale Drive. Went there and search, then another news came said they are at Punggol Park and we rushed there. In the end still can’t find them.
Wednesday came and went with no news.
Today, i came home, unlock the door and first thing i saw was Ice’s face.
I can’t tell you how happy i was that i cried. I didn’t cry earlier when they were lost, so this time i didn’t held back on tears. And Xiao bai was there as well. apparently some guy saw them crossing dangerously on the busy road, brought them to Pasir Ris PetFarm and a friend there alerted Michelle.
So glad they came back safe and sound. Makes me treasure all my dogs so so so much more.
Thanks so much to Michelle who ran so much to get them back. Thanks Shu Hui, Shu Xian, Colin and Ah boy for spending so many hours into the night to search for them in the forest with us.
And thank god for this experiences that brings my family so much closer.
I can’t imagine the surprise, really. Because i left my handphone at home so my family couldn’t inform me earlier. I’ll never forget the moment i open the door and see the face that i wishes to see so much in the past few days.
P/s: God works in mysterious ways…
