Oh my gosh! I haven't had a chance to get on YorkieTalk lately and just got on tonight. As I was reading through this post- it brought back all of the emotions from when my sisters yorkie Teddy went missing last September. I was planning to let you know all of the info that we were fortunate to have to help us get our Teddy back...and then I read that you got her back!! I am soooo happy for you!!!!! And so happy for another happy ending
My sister's yorkie- Teddy, went missing while we were on vacation in Florida. She opened the door to her condo and he (uncharacteristically) ran out.....long story short....We started immediately with putting up flyers with his pictures ALL OVER....from gas stations, trees, stop signs, police station, fire stations, Wal-Mart, on all of our vehicles, absolutely everywhere....over 500 flyers. We posted on local facebook pages, businesses, newspaper & local tv fb pages, etc- and we had over 1,000+ shares.....and posting that we were not going home without Teddy (my sisters "son"). We were so fortunate to have so many dog lovers helping & sharing our situation- including great info from YT.
Teddy was missing for 4 days. On the 4th night we were out looking for him when we got back to the condo and found him tied up to our golf cart parked in front of her condo. There was no note....We honestly believe that someone had him and probably thought about keeping him, but after all the attention- there would be no way to keep him without someone finding out. Also, she had just had him groomed that day & he smelled of new doggy cologne...and it rained the entire 4 days he was missing, but when he "turned up" he was still smelling of his doggy cologne and you could tell he had never been outside during those 4 rainy days.
Soooo happy for you!! More tears of happiness for another furbaby home to their family!!!
