 My baby is missing....
This morning was a whirlwind. I took my Nigel out of his crate and ran him downstairs to let the nanny in and let him out back to go potty. He was feeling particularly frisky this morning and didn't feel like going right away. I ran upstairs to grab my phone and shoes and wake my sleeping boys. I asked them to hurry down and bring Nigel in and feed him so that I could get to work. When my Winston came inside he told me that Nigel wasn't in the yard. I have a fenced yard that I have carefully secured, but when you're so little I guess anything is possible. When my little boy got out front, he caught a glimpse of Nigel running as fast as he could, and took off after him. Even my very athletic 8 year old couldn't keep up with him. He lost sight of him, and now he is gone. We searched for an hour and then again for another hour, and nothing. I've called animal control, and the humane society in my area. We've posted signs, and scoured the neighborhood this evening. He has a collar and tag with his name and my phone number, but it's been 14 hours and nothing. I've been advised to post signs at the vets and groomers in my area. Does anyone have any other ideas? He was supposed to go get microchipped this weekend. I am heartbroken. He came from a terrible situation where I feel he was abused, so he is very frightened of strangers. For this reason, I can't imagine he would go to anyone. I would really appreciate any advice.... ~Devestated Mommy |
