HOME.

Not twenty minutes ago, my husband walked through the door with this.





The microchip worked.



I can't stop crying. And I almost don't believe it.

EDWARD IS HOME!

Oh Barb!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!!! Funny, I'm sitting at home and I practically shrieked, "EDWARD IS HOME!" My hubby know exactly what I was talking about!

You have both of our congratulations on getting your dear Edward back! How's that for an ending to dreary Monday!?

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!

The noodles worked!

And um. Can I see a picture of his toes? Please? Edward, we've missed your toes (me and Barb at least, I'm sure).

Does it make you at all nervous that so many of us were out here lying in wait for pictures of your cat?

Thank FSM! & Mr.Q is just as excited as I am to hear the happy news. YAY!

I'm feeling a little choked up myself...maybe I'll go pour a glass of wine to celebrate.

Again, I say YAY!!!!!!

This is wonderful news. I always thought he'd come back to you although I thought he'd be back a bit earlier than this. Edward, you're late!!

Big sigh of relief across the Pacific...

Oh my gosh. I just got CHILLS.

This is EXACTLY how I felt when Elizabeth Smart came home.

(I'm probably going to hell for saying that, but it's true.)

I'm SO HAPPY FOR YOU. YAY. YAY!!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!!! I'm SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

Did he give you the "well *I* knew where I was, so I couldn't have been lost" story? Very happy for you. This calls for some Hershey Special Dark and a bite or two of Ben & Jerry's!

I am sitting here crying, crying crying... oh. my. God. Can't stop crying. I feel as though my own cat has been found!

Thank you God and microchips!

I really want to hear the rest of the story. Where was he? How? When?

Oh Barb....

tears flowing down my cheeks and I can't stop them.

Welcome home, Edward! Sit! Stay!

I know I was here much earlier and already commented but I just had to come back and read it again! And LOOK at how many people out there were just waiting for Edward...oh, if only he could tell you his adventure, you'd have writing fodder for a year!

By the way, I'm inspired. Hubby and I have been debating whether or not to chip our fur-baby. Well, at the next Humane Society micro-chip weekend, Sasha is getting a chip of her very own!

I've already commented but it doesn't appear to have posted. I rarely comment but I have to say I'm so glad Edward's back home! I'd almost given up hope.
He looks really well too.

Whoohoo! I'm so excited for you and for Edward! I bet he heard we're supposed to get nearly a week of rain and high-tailed it for the nearest shelter.

A belated welcome to our horn-blowing, brake-stomping, hair-raising corner of the world! Maybe we can meet in Manhattan for lunch one of these days (I'm in Jersey).

I have to admit that I'm surprised and pleasantly so.

Glad Edward is back...now...tie him to a chair and read him the riot act, then put the screws to him to tell you all his adventures so you can tell us about it and fill our hours with endless cat tails.

I'm so, so, so happy for you and your family. We lost our orange cat, Cheeto, on Monday, to a car accident and I've never been sadder. Here's to a lot more years with your Edward.

I've been following your blog for a while now, holding my breath every day hoping to hear that you have found Edward.

It's amazing how important 15 lbs of fur and purr can insinuate themselves into our lives until we cannot imagine being without them.

I'm so happy for you and your family.

Thank God he is home!! Good for you! My cats are my children and I would be lost without any of them. These microchips, who would've guessed. I won't complain again..
