1998.0. "Hopeful souls PLEASE REPLY" by MDA::NEWSTED () Mon Nov 28 1988 11:55

      Over the holiday weekend, my husband and I went up to our
    cottage in Maine with my Sister and her hub. They brought their
    animals with them as they usually do.  Bucca and Tig ( cats )
    have been up there before many times and usually stay around...
     Saturday night we heard one of them meowing fiercly and went out
    side to discover that she ( Bucca ) had made her way across the
    lake to the opposite shore on the ice.  She must have walked
    along the shore to where there wasn't any ice because she was afraid
    to come back.  We saw her over there with the flashlight ( there
    were no roads into the opposite shore woods )and she was oviously
    frightened. I guess my sister trusted that she'd find her way back
    eventually having gotten herself across. So everyone went to bed.
    Next morning at first light we put the canoe in down stream and
    got through the ice to the other shore, but no Bucca. I was horrified
    when I saw how THIN that ice really was, even though just close
    by it was thick enough to support a man.  I just don't know.  We
    spent sunday combing the woods, calling and calling, to no avail.
    So, I would say that Bucca could use a few prayers. If she walked
    the shoreline all night, she could be anywhere in the Acton/Sanford
    Maine area. They stayed on an extra day, I have no news yet but
    they have contacted all the propper authorities in the area.
     It's not a good situation.  So please say a prayer for Bucca.
    If she survived, hopefully someone will take her in through the
    cold months.  I sure we will spend more weekends searching.
    
    Saturday night, we all thought it too dangerous to drop a canoe into
    a half-frozen unstable lake in the pitch black...

1998.1	Bucca's return	FDCV03::JOHNSON		`Mon Nov 28 1988 12:18`	14
	Bucca will be just fine .... I swear I can see her still alive and she'll come back to the cottage. I'll pray a few for her. We let our almost 6 mo. old Cocoa out this am at 5:45. We called for him 1/2 hr. later and he didn't come. He always comes when called. Another 1/2 hr. later he came onto the back deck soaking wet. It hadn't been raining and my husband saw the matted, ugly mail that's always rummaging our back yard a little earlier. We have a pond in the middle of our Mobile home park and we surmised that Cocoa had gone into the pond to get away from the mangy one. They always find a way to come back to the ones who desparately love them... So-o-o-o-o ..... Bucca will come home.
1998.2	My thoughts are with Bucca	NSG022::POIRIER	Happy Holidays!	`Mon Nov 28 1988 12:50`	3

1998.3	Bucca Come Backa	WITNES::MACONE	It's the story of a man named Brady	`Mon Nov 28 1988 13:17`	14
	I'm hoping for you that Bucca will return. We lost Portia Thnksgiving morning. I had put her out at her wishes in the middle of the night, and she didn't come home in the morning. We finally found her around noontime -- right before I was about to cancel out on Thanksgiving dinner. She ahd worked her way in to the cellar - but because of the screen, she couldn't climb jump back out. Cats are smart. Portia was just looking for a place to get her out of the cold. I'm sure Bucca has just done the same. -Nancy
