Hello everyone! I was recommended to this sight through @teddyandlola on instagram. They have been following me through the dissapearence of my baby, Ozzy.

He dissapeared after midnight and before 9 am Saturday morning. Upon his dissapearence, my family went to the nieghbors houses and drove endlessly around the neighborhood searching for our dog. All of the gates were closed, but we do have a doggy door through the back so my yorkies can go to the bathroom freely throughout the night. In the morning, the were no signs of animal attack, nor had the neighbors heard or seen cyotes or bobcats. In order to fully understand the conclusion I have come to, you have to know a bit about Ozzy. He is the sweetest dog you could ever hope to meet. He is also about the laziest dog you will ever meet. He will not walk out and about in the coldasac unless his brother, Sparky, is about in the coldasac. His interest is much more on the lap of whomever is sitting on the couch. He is a bit goofy looking, but absolutely adorable. His tongue sticks out quite a bit because it is too long for his mouth. He never turned silver like his brother, but instead retained his puppy coat. He is about 5 years old and about 10 lbs. The only times he has gotten out, the gate was visibly opened, and he and Sparky walked through my neighbors garage through their doggy door and hung out with their dogs until discovered by my human neighbors. My neighbors garage was halfway open that night.

Skip to Saturday morning. I have been posting ads like crazy on Craigslist, and filling my social media accounts with the notice of my missing dog. Nothing. No word from any neighbors, no sightings, nothing.

Skip to Sunday morning. After visiting the local shelter and adoption center at the mall. I recieved a phone call. It went something like this:

"Hello?"
"Hi. I saw your ad on Craigslist about your missing dog. I was just wonderin', because my sister found a dog that looks similar to yours except it's a female. Is there any health issue that would cause a dogs tongue to stick out like that?"
"Well with mine no. His tongue is just too long for his mouth."
"Oh, because the one my sister founds tongue sticks out and he head kinda tilts to the side. It kinda looks like she had a stroke or somethin'"
**Note: Ozzy sometimes wobbles his head like a baby struggling to hold his head up**
"Well, is there any way I could possibly come see the dog, just to be sure it isn't mine?"
"No. I'll send you an email with a picture. My email is on the Craigslist ad"
**Note: There is no ad for a found yorkie in Orange County**
"Well would you mind if I get your phone number, in case the email doesn't go through?"
"Click: dial tone..."

Due to her calling from a blocked number, I could not call her back. I immediately called my father, and then the police. An officer soon arrived at my house, but said there was no way for him to get her phone number due to the lack of evidence. He also said that even if she said she had my dog, there was no way to get the number because the present situation did not involve a threat of life or firearms.

I have been in backwards circles, hitting walls every which way. I was told by a Sargent that I requested to talk to personally, that basically this woman gets to walk away with my baby. I am beyond frustrated, and quickly losing faith. I am doing all I can in my power to do. All I ask of my fellow yorkie parents is that you send warm thoughts my way. Please, please, be on the lookout for a black yorkie with tan legs and a tan face and ears, with his tongue sticking out of his mouth. He never makes a sound and has a hernia next to his groin that we were about to get removed. He is a bit heavier, not fat, but not an energetic one. When he sniffs you, he moves his tongue to give you a kiss, but doesn't do more than lift it at an angle to touch your skin (due to the whole 'it being already outside his mouth' part).

I live in Laguna Niguel in Southern Orange County, CA. Thank you in advance for your support! Please help me find my baby!

Also, I am offering a cash reward as an incentive to the woman who has my dog. I have posted this repeatedly on Craigslist, but with no luck so far. If you see a woman with a yorkie with the description of my own, please let me know. He could be anywhere by now. The woman sounded as if she was anywhere between 20-40.

I can be reached at (949)-228-2964. ANY information is valuable and highly appreciated. I am utterly heartbroken and I just want my Ozzy back. Thank you so much for your time! Happy New Year to you all and best wishes!
