Now that I've got your attention, many of us have thought that the person holding Cookie was lurking out here, possibly looking for help if he was showing signs of his illness. You could be a lurker, you could be a hoarder, or just looking for advice.
Please do the right thing and return him to Genie. She has no intention of filing charges, she just wants her Cookie back and has offered a reward. He has MVD and needs some special care. Don't let the poor little guy suffer any longer, return him to Gen! She knows what to do.
It's Christmas, have a heart!

The best thing you can do for Cookie, and yourself, is to return him. Read the huge 'MISSING' thread in General Discussion, his picture is there.
I hope the moderators will see fit to let this thread stand for a while so that it can be seen by you. If you have him, PM me and I'll give you Gen's phone number. He has a chip and I can verify the number, or just PM Cookie2.
