We had a puppy wander up to our house a few months ago & he was so cute. He looked like a Black Lab mix. He stayed in the house with us until he was big enough to go outside with our other dogs, but still when we were not at home he stayed in a pen we made for him on one half of our back porch. Two weeks ago yesterday on Sunday jan 16, 2000, I left him out to eat with the other dogs while I ate breakfast (for about 10-15 min) & when I cam back out they were all gone! I called & called him, and I started looking for him. By dark all the others came back but Blackie didnt. From there I got up early every morning before work & looked for him, looked everyday during my lunch, and every nite until dark, until just a couple of days ago. I was (am) miserable without him. I finally realized if he was anywhere in our neighborhood or surrounding area, I would have found him by now. But still I am passing out flyers everywhere, at the post office, all the area gas stations, and all the vet offices. I feel like a big part of me is gone. Not long ago Blackie had gotten sick & I took him to the vet, she was sure it was Parvo---we tested him & it wasnt!!!! We got medicine for him & hooked him up to an IV to give him fluids since he wasnt eating & within a 2-3 days we could tell a big difference--he was getting back to himself & feeling so much better & I was so thankful. But now he is gone & I dont know what I will do. All I can do is pray where ever he is, he is sfe & warm & being loved as much as I love him & I dont continue to pray he will still come home or whoever has him will return him to me. Its strange but I dont think he was hit by a car or that he is dead at all. I feel in my heart someone has him & maybe someone will see my flyers, my ad in the newspapers, this message, or hear my ad on the radio & bring him home---He would be wearing a blue collar & he smiles at me (sort of snarls his nose) My email addr is mystical1@alltel.net |

Kathy:
Don't despair!! You are doing everything you can to get Blackie back. I agree he was probably picked up by a well-meaning person. Have you check the local shelters, local veterinarians' offices, and animal control offices? In a small or rural community, you can talk to the Sheriff (or a local police officer). Also, if there are stores nearby, post flyers there. And check Findfido's "found" dog lsitsings often. Check the lsitings in nearby states, too - you never know.
Let us know how you are doing...we'll keep our fingers crossed for you!!
