Just came back.Like I mentioned to Gail today I forced myself to go out and buy a turkey for thanksgiving. I walked those isles like a zombie.I even taped a flyer to each side of my shopping cart. I am insane. I made sure to remove it before I left. I asked customer service if I could ask a manager to please tape this at their entrance. The lady told me they don't allow it but to go ahead and post them all over their parking lot trees that are near each stop sign. I went ahead and bought a box of tacks and tacked them on to each tree by each stop sign. You cant miss the sign,where ever you turn you can see a flyer about 6-8 ft away. If my baby is not home by Thanksgiving , I will sneak out in the afternoon when most stores are closed and post flyers all over their parking area trees.
I ran into one of my daughter's friend mom and I dont think she realized that what she told me hurt so bad. She asked if I found Cookie and I said no. She said if I thought someone took him,maybe he sneaked out, or a hawk got him? She said they see my street signs everywhere and she said her kids asked " I wonder how much is the BIG REWARD??" SO she asked me .
I told her that I didnt post an amount because I didnt want scammers calling me.Also that some people here have donated and helped tremendously in the search. I just told its a few hundred dollars.
She tells me and this is the part that killed me " Well I'll paint my dog and give it to you for the reward"
The truth is there is like $70 left from donations and I am stretching that to the max also Gail went above and beyond getting funds to me from Canada. I am waiting to see if I can do something Bigger to get the word out even more so I can put the money into that.
I told my daughter's friend mom "I know that sometimes pets can be stubborn and stuff but you can only understand how painful this is until your dog is missing or dies in front of your eyes" I dont think some people truly understand why people are willing to pay thousands of dollars for a reward to get their pet back?
If I had $50,000 I would pay in a blink of an eye.But I dont.
I had a breeder contact me and let me know that if I ever want to get another dog to let me know because she knows that no dog could replace him but it helps. I told her that not even 10 dogs could replace him. You cant replace a child.
