Maureen, after reading your story, my heart breaks even more for you. It's like Zeke is your healing angel and the void you must be feeling these past days without him, is unimaginable. I know only to well the ravages of Crohnes Disease - my Father had it, as do 2 of my cousins. You must take care of yourself now hon, because as I am sure you are aware, stress is a major factor in managing your disease.
I feel so helpless and so frustrated. Yesterday, when I found that picture of the little guy that looked so much like Zeke, I was so excited..... that maybe my hand had been somehow guided there to find him. Now I feel like I got your hopes up, only for him to remain missing. When I spoke to you on the phone about my discovery, I could FEEL your anxiety, your initial frustration when your computer would not work.... and I felt like I wanted to reach through my screen and just hug you. We don't know each other Maureen, and until a few days ago, I was unaware of what you are going through, and now every morning, the first thing I do is check for news on Zeke. I do the same thing after the 11:00PM news, before I go to bed.
I want so badly for you to be reunited with him; please let me know if there is ANYTHING that I can do for you.
Perhaps the idea that CO Momma has, about sending a copy of your post to your local news station would help. Surely the person who took your baby has an ounce of compassion somewhere inside of them, and reading your heartbreaking story would prompt them to bring him back to your arms.
Also, another important factor: if your story and Zeke's picture is out there, even if Zeke has been "sold", his new "owner" would very probably return him upon seeing it.
I send you huge hugs for the day,
Lauren
P.S. Please know that all of us here will continue to search for Zeke. None of us will give up until you think it is time. Do NOT forget that dogs who have been missing for weeks and weeks, HAVE been reunited with their families.
