I've heard it happen before but never thought to someone I know

[Yorkiekids]

I never thought of anyone coming in that way. I guess it's time to take it out. Let your friend know I'm thinking of her.

[bdbmamaw]

OMG! Where in Alabama? I have family in B'Ham. Maybe they can keep an eye out if it's around there.

Holy hannah...what in the world!! I always worry when Im gone that someone will break in to steal my dogs...its so terrible that we have to worry about that. I hope you friend can find a way to bring Toby home..

Oh I am so sorry to hear this. This is happening just way too frequently. I hope Toby has a micro-chip; it may increase his chances of being returned.

[LunasMomma]

I am SO sorry for your friend and her Toby, I pray that he is returned safe and sound Why must there be so many horrible people in this world?

I bet that they couldn't find the others. If only they could talk!

[yorkiecrazy]

Oh no!!! This so horrible. I feel so bad for your friend and Toby. Sending prayer for Toby safe return.

[IluvLucy]

OMG! I'm so sorry for your friend and Toby. I pray for a safe and swift return of her baby.

It never ceases to amaze me at how low some people can stoop.

We're not sure if the person or people targeted just toby or couldn't find the others. Toby stays in a playpen when she's gone and the others are running around, Well she got home last night and toby was gone (has never been able to get out before) the rest of the babies were hiding under a bed, she has a silkie that has 3wk old babies, this mom has never even tried to moved them before but my friend found the pups under her bed. She is so upset, her husband is in Iraq and she kept putting off taking out the window air units, well that's where they broke in at, she found the unit on the floor and the window wide open. I'm so upset for her.

please remove your window units !

That is so terrible!!....My feeling is if someone went through the trouble to take out an AC unit and only removed the pup from this home then there's a good chance your friend knows the person who did this or it's a friend of your friends....who ever did this KNEW there was a pup in this home and had no fear going in....if she keeps asking everyone she knows some one may crack....Good luck....

thank you everyone keep the prayers coming, the news is more disturbing this morning; I spoke with Gloria, my friend, The A$$holes actually cut her phone lines. That is terrifying, I guess they thought she would be home, thank GOD she wasn't, in order to get to the phone lines they went through her kennel outside which had an airdale in it, the airdale is limping on three legs, she was taking him to the vet to make sure it wasn't broken, so they kicked or hurt the dog in some way, They distroyed the house, but they knew her, her laptop was laying right there still, the darwer they went through had her jewelry in it, that is still there, they stole a pistol though.

She lives in a little community outside of the main town, so she went to the police dept. in town, they told her they can't do anything 'cause she lives 1 mile outside their district!
So she went to the county police dept, GET READY FOR THIS, they told her that they had christmas parades today and may get out to her house later if they can!

I have posted posters at the vets in the area and went on the radio this morning, I will be going to the newspapers and as soon as she calls me back I will get all of the info together to get in touch with the news stations.

She is going to look into an alarm system monday

we are in dekalb county fyffe, fort payne area. Please keep your eyes out for him.

You know it's really sad and disgusting that her husband is over in Iraq helping with our safety (he is a civilian over there, he sets up the camps for the military and is a truck driver to bring supplies in for them) and the people who are sworn to serve and protect care more about a friggin Christmas parade instead of their citizens.

he's 10 months old
2-3 lbs
