What I was told....

Million have been really quiet and wasn't her usual self since she came home 16 days ago. Must be traumatized. She slept very soundly on the first night. But on the 2nd & 3rd nights, she cried in her sleep few times a night. Must be having nightmares. From what I gathered thru the kidnapper's mother, Million was kept at the back of the house, on the five foot way behind the kitchen which is an open space with fence. As for Million this is the first time in her entire 7 years of life that she have to sleep outside for 17 days, with insects and rats running all over.

In order to sleep peacefully, she have to protect herself from the rats by catching and killing them before they bite her. The kidnapper's mother even told us that Million is a very good rat catcher, how sad.

Another new thing about Million since she came back, a sneeze will sent her running for cover. This is very very unusual as it never happens before. I believed, it must be linked to something that frightens her. Probably the sound of hitting a table with a cane to made a loud noise to kept her quiet and stop her barking, maybe that's the reason why she rarely bark since she came home. Not even when she sees a cat or dog. Extreme unusual.

*

Also, she is all alert whenever she hears the clinking of keys. Something new to me too .I guess the clinking could means feeding time since she was being kept at the back of the house and it requires keys to open the gate. Not only that, she now takes her time to eat unlike last time where she would gobbles down her food. Probably her food was left there for the rest of the day and she eats whenever she feels like it.

*

Now, after being back at home for 16 days, she is almost back to her usual self. Beginning to bark at cats and dogs and mailman, oh yes, even the mailman, hahaha... She started to play and eats normally, jumping when I came home too. I am really glad and happy and thankful for having my Million back home once again. I still think it's a MIRACLE.....!

Sometime I wonder what's in her mind? Redbabe came back with hubby and a friend to visit over the weekend and of course to see Million too. To our surprise, Million was so glad and happy to see them. This is somewhat mistifying. In the past, Million always feels intimidated by Redbabe especially when Rumba & Sunshine is back too and she would just stick to me and not go anywhere near Redbabe. But this time round, when she saw her, she just jumped all over around her as if they were old buddies like that. How surprising. We just stared at each other with our jaws dropped.

I just wonder what's going on in Million's head when she was being kidnapped? Was she thinking that she would never be able to see us all ever again? And now, she is finally home , she is so glad to be with us and see Redbabe again? This is a big QUESTION MARK we all have.
