QUOTE=Kimberly812;2956898]My heart is absolutely breaking for you - I can't begin to imagine how difficult this is. Just an idea...have you considered hiring a private investigator that can watch this apartment complex?? I know the woman is helping you - but having someone that could just sit there all day and watch - and call you if/when he sees the dog. He/she could also get pictures so you can know if it is Cookie or not. I'd go but I don't have the cash to fly there, motel, etc. and neither does Gen. The k9pi dot com people are almost on the pay scale of attorneys! I also like the idea of having managment go into the apartment, but feel this could be potentially risky. If management is friendly with the woman who has the dog - this could really backfire... You are so right! That's why there hasn't been a response to that idea. In some cases it would work but not all, and you hit on the one that could blow the lead. Another idea - we have girl scouts selling cookies here right now - any chance you could go door to door selling something - to determine where the bark may be coming from? I sure don't know everything but I suggested to Gen to keep some stealth on when she looks at this one. If they won't look for a dog's owner and they're guilty then they sure won't like to see anybody snooping around for any cause. It's a good idea, but it might be best if Gen's landing comes at a complete surprise. Wasn't it Kojak on TV that said 'GOTCHA!' That's how I think this should go. No warning. |
