| Scared me to death!!!!!!!! I wasn't going to share this story until I just read another thread. This really did happen to me on Friday & it has scared the liven socks right off of me. I have lived here for 33 years and have never encountered anything like this before. This is what happened. I was driving down the street minding my own business when I pulled off the road for just a quick stop. Rather than leave Annie in the car I picked her up and took her with me, dropped off the package & had just gotten back in my Explorer when this Suburban comes in at an angle and blocks me from going forward. This woman jumps out & starts screaming at me, that I have her yorkie! Where did I find her, that dog is mine & you took it! I am a little freaked out at the moment and can't believe what is happening, she starts to approach my vehicle all the time screaming that is my dog. My dog has a red bow in its hair. At which point I say to her, your yorkie has a red Minnie Mouse bow from Walt Disney World in it hair & you think this is your dog? A very big man has now gotten out of the Suburban & is headed my way as well saying it is her! When the woman gets to the front of my truck, I put it in reverse & took off out of there! Let me tell you this has shook me up pretty bad! I immediately called my husband & told him what happened, he asked me if they were following me, I didn't see them. He told me to call 911 if I saw them behind me. I live in a very small town, but it was Thanksgiving and people do travel. Once again right now I don't feel safe. I have no idea, if this person really lost their yorkie or if it was a ploy to steal her from me. I don't know, all I know is how it has made me feel. I now have a copy of all Annies' paperwork in my Explorer, if these people show up again, I will call 911 & I will continue driving until I get to either a friends house that is a officer( I have many) or to a very public place, where I can meet up with the officer that has been called out.

| Yikes!! What town are you in? I wonder if it was that woman who posted this morning on here for reward. Her yorkie took off after a bunny and disappeared. She just knows someone has her and has posted everywhere looking for her. She was all over it.

Thank you all so much it is still very scary. My husband & I were just talking about it & had this woman said she had lost her yorkie, I would have been on the phone & calling people to come & help. I will also say this, in the past when people asked me if they could hold Phoebe, I let them. But now, with this incident with Annie, NO WAY! It will take me a long time to let anyone I don't know hold her. Sad isn't it!

| Wow! I'm so happy you are safe! I can't imagine how scared you must have been. Good thing you got out of there fine. Did you notice that truck following you before you got out?

| I agree, way too scary. How brazen of them too. Nothing against you, but with the world today, how did they know you weren't going to shoot them or something. I never approach anyone anymore but you just never know what's what. Sad as that is, it's the way it is. I would have been on the phone to 911 so fast...

| How scarey! I never thought about carrying copies of their papers, but it might be a good idea. You never know when something might happen.

| WOW! How scary! It's a shame you couldn't have gotten a picture of them with your cell phone!. Please be careful! Is your Annie microchipped? Don't wait for it to happen again, go ahead and call the police and report the incident so that they will have it on record. Sending hugs . |
