I am also praying for the safe return of Spice....my heart is broken for you all. I can't imagine. Hopefully someone will come forward with some kind of news!? I admit the first thing I thought of when reading your post was the Coyotes....as much as I hate to think of anything like that. But they are such a problem in California. My family lives in Southern California and they all have small dogs and yorkies. The vets warn them all the time to never leave the dog unattended not even for one second alone in the yard because the coyotes are in the neigborhoods. One story was about my Aunts neighbor who had her dog on the end of it's leash for a walk, but the lady stopped to get her mail from her mailbox and as she was reading her mail she felt a little tug on the leash, and after a few minutes she looked over at her Bishon and it was gone...and running down the street was the coyote with her dog. It's really something for us all to think about no matter where we live because predator animals are all over and are getting so brazen.
Another story I just saw on the news was about the rising issue of dog theft. They said that if someone approaches you and starts asking alot of questions about your dog, like how much is it?, what's it's name?, what town are you from etc. to be very wary. These are the things a would be dog-napper asks and will follow you home or just snatch the dog, especially the dogs that can sell for big money like yorkies, malteses, caviliers etc.
It's unbelievable!
Anyway...please keep us posted on any updates and sending lots of prayers and good thoughts!!
