My baby is missing. I dont know what to do!???

[Cookie2]

Please, please do not take this the wrong way. Please dont "look in on them"
its not enough and that is exactly how I Cookie went missing. I was close enough to hear if any animal like a hawk would have taken him. I would have heard the screams. I was about 10 feet away from view.
I kept checking in on them through my kitchen window. But all it takes is a few minutes for them to slip through a hole. My yard is VERY safe but I still found a small hole.

I will NEVER let them out alone again. I go and I literally stand in the middle of the yard when I take them out. My husband also goes and stands out there. The way I see it if they are not leashed then they are not 100% safe.
Even though a leash can snap, its still the safest.
I let them go out and potty,run and play with them but I am there the entire time.

I would NEVER wish this on anyone. I havent had an easy life like many people here I'm sure and I've had ups and downs in my life but this is the WORST painful experience I have ever gone through. We have had to put a dog down but we knew what was happening and had closure to move on.

If so, somebody should call you - hopefully today.....

All our prayers are with you and Cookie.

I havn't read this whole thread but I was wondering if you had taken flyers to all the schools around and sent the flyers home with the kids? This is what we do around here. But we only have 2 schools in this county so its pretty easy to do that. It might be too hard if its a big area with alot of schools.

The schools didn't want anything to do with it. I thought the same thing, kids talk too much and maybe they'd talk about the dog. They refused to let her even post a flyer. I told her to find a lightpost on the public easement near the schools and put one there. That city takes things down that aren't appropriate but there are worse.

Hi Gen, This is Linda from Texas. I'm so happy to get an update and know that Cookie's mama is still well, tireless, strong and prayed up! Plus you still have all these intercessors on your friend network, YT. That includes me. Just because you haven't heard from me lately.....doesn't mean I've lost hope that Cookie will be found and reunited with his family. Sometimes when I think of him, I think to myself......I wonder if it will be today. God's time is not our time but His time is always the perfect time.

Gen, I am also hoping & praying that this article is a stepping stone that brings Cookie back Home to you!!

[justclikke]

Make sure you put flyers near the local schools. Kids always will watch for
lost dogs. Good luck and my heart goes out to you. K.

Although I am new to YT when I ran across your story my heart went out to you. I CANNOt imagine what you and your husband are going through. I have a pug and a yorkie(as well as a cat) they are all my babies. It does sound like he went through the small hole you found in your yard. Someone must know something at this point. Since he was only @4lbs, someone scooped him up, and is keeping him. What people don't realize is that he has a loving home, and his family is missing him terribly. I truely hope and pray you get him back. Continue with the flyers, check out the local vets, and shelters.....God Bless

I just read this thread...I can't imagine the pain you and your family have been going through, there are no words (JUST TEARS)!!!!
Just want you to know that I'm another YT that will be sending thoughts your way and hope for a safe return

[Jellybears]

I still keep watching for any good news - I feel so badly for you - I hope, hope, hope you receive information soon that will return your baby to you....

Oh trust me everyone. I am not giving up by any means.
I still post on craigslist. I get the newspaper and ALWAYS look for
yorkies for sale or found.

I believe the person that has him DOES know how much I am probably missing him. But they are probably thinking that they love him already and that is what makes someone selfish.
No matter what, my promise still stands. I would not press charges for keeping him from me. I just want him back. I just want to get him back and bring my baby home and move on. Could I forgive the person? That is something that I will have to pray for. I know it will probably take me at least 2months or more to relax and not want to have him right in front of me 24/7.
His name is a constant remind of him since his name is Cookie. I see the word cookie or hear it several times a day from tv or online.
I did groceries and bought 4 boxes of Cookie Crisp ...didnt think about it.
When I put the boxes away, I noticed the back of the box that said Cookie , Cookie House!

I was like oooh my baby, I miss you everyday.

Still checking in and thinking of you.
One day you will hold your Cookie again.
I believe.

Gen,
I still think about you and Cookie. I read through this thread to see if you have posted almost everyday. I saw a new thread "Cookie's home"...and I was like "What???" I got so excited and when I read it, it wasn't you. I was so disappointed... Hang in there.

Me too. I don't post much, but I check this thread everytime you post something new hoping and praying it's good news. My heart skipped a beat when I saw that thread. I swear I was ready to sing a happy song, and do the silliest happy dance thinking Cookie was finally home where he belongs. Hang in there! I'll save my happy dance till then. Still sending prayers for his safe return home.
