I would think convenience store parking lots would be very risky. Lacy looks like she is a little one. Why don't you get a discreet dog carrier and smuggle her in with you? People can break into a car and swipe a small dog in the blink of an eye.

BTW, you Lacy is adorable! I wouldn't let her out of my sight.

I know..I hate doing it. Lacy is 7lbs so not super tiny but not that big either. She usually rides in her carseat and a lot of the time I'll be traveling with my two cats in their carriers in the backseat. I usually try to be in and out in the fastest amount of time possible...usually only a couple minutes. And I make sure my doors are locked.

How scary. I've noticed that stuff like this tends to happen a lot close to the holidays. Evil people will go and steal someone's pet to give it to someone else , or maybe even sell it for Christmas. Everyone just needs to be extra careful with their fur babies and try not to let them out of your site. It can happen in an instant. Poor Frankie I hope that he was microchipped and hopefully he'll be found and brought back to his family soon.

unfortunately you're right it does happen alot around the holidays. In my efforts to try to find my friends baby I spoke with some officers in town. They told me that microchipping is great if they get scanned, if they were stolen they would not think twice about causing the baby pain and taking the chip out, and if they know what they are doing then a strong magnet run ontop of the chip can damage it. He told me the best so far is a tattoo. I will checking prices on that. But if a thief is determined they will find a way.

I pray they find Frankie...I would be going out of my mind if this were me which, I'm sure she is. As far as microchipping (and I know alot on here have their furbabies done), you would have to have someone that would bring the dog to a vet or shelter to have them scanned in order to find the owners (unless your vet does it automatically).

When I just had Sadie it was easy to bring her everywhere...I would just take her in with me but, now that I have Lillie too it makes it a little harder so.....if I don't have hubby with me to carry one of the girls they stay home...I hear to many horror stories of yorkies being stolen from cars.


I really do hope she finds her little man

I really pray that she finds her little Frankie. It just reminds us of how careful we have to be.

Need to know more about this tattoo thing..Izzy is chipped but this sounds better. Does the vet do it under a local? What do they tattoo on your baby?

Oh I hope they find baby Frankie my heart breaks when I see posts like this...it has to be so devastating to lose your baby like that.

I never leave Izzy in the car for any reason...for example yesterday while traveling out of state I had to stop and get gas....I had to go in and pay so Izzy went with me for those few seconds....I don't care what they say...I also keep one of her bags in the car just for those reasons where I can sneak her in for a few moments. But I know there are times when you say it won't hurt for a few moments to leave them in a car...but that's all it takes for someone to take them. Not worth the risk after reading this about poor Frankie.

they will find Frankie vey soon.

[Cathi]

that can just take what they want and think that it is OK.

I hate reading about the stolen babies!

The only time I leave Milo in the car is when I go to our little PO in town---and only if I am just grabbing the mail, no counter business.

Always locked, always in front of a window.

That's what I do--smuggle Milo in. I don't do it for any other reason-- but his safety.

Just last night we were traveling from NH Coast back to NY and my son wanted to see us (he's having a bit of trouble personally), so we stopped at his work to chat and give him hugs.

He works in a Shaws grocery store in CT. It was 6PM and there was no way we were going to leave Milo alone. We snuck him in in his bag. The only time he moved was when he heard my son's voice---my son, btw, was so happy to see his little fur brother and knowing he was brought in James Bond style made him smile.

I felt so naughty. I don't regret the smile on my skin son's face though.

These are the worst posts!!! It makes me worry soooooooooo much!!!! Hope he is found and brought home soon!!!

Did they actually break in? I always lock my doors when the dogs are with me and we live in rural Ky.

I am so sorry! That is terrible! I live in Orange County, too, so I will keep my eye out!
