Hey i have not stopped checking at this posts, i was gone for the weekend but i have continuously checked to see if cookie has been returned, and i have still been checking in my local craig list.... I know shes there somewhere i just know she will be returned to you, you are a great furparent. *hugs*

Thank you everybody,
I know I have to take some time for myself and my family. I have never been a very religious person even though we grew up pentecostal. But I just feel this strange feeling of some kind of relief. I talked to my mom today and she told me that she is praying and she feels in her heart that he is with someone and ultimately Cookie will be returned. She said she's been constantly thinking of Cookie and she just prayed and told God that she is leaving it in his hands and that she was going to read the bible for some guidance. She tells me she opened the bible and the verse said something like " And God will return them to their home" something like that in the book of Ezekial. She just closed the bible and thanked God and left it at that.

Today I spoke to the manager for the Grooming section of PetCo by our house. She had a long talk with me and wrote down info about Cookie behind his flyer. She said they have a scanner and will scan any Yorkie that comes in. She had a dog stolen years ago and knows the devastation.
I went to another area near us 1-2 miles away and taped the flyer to each door and talked to lots of people. About half have mentioned that they've seen my street signs and are keeping their eyes peeled. I dont know how I knocked on so many doors today but it was a lot of homes ,maybe 100 or more.

I am just going to go out tonight with my hubby to tack our flyers on many trees at our Walmart. So each stop sign in or out will have a flyer.
Then I am going to stay home for at least a day. I need to take care of my family. By this time every year my entire house is decorated.None of that has happened.

I want to send a huge hug to everyone.Thank you , thank you ,thank you

A very blessed Thanksgiving to you Gen. Take some time off , from looking for Cookie. Your family (pets and husband and children) need you now.

My heart aches for the loss of you,
Everywhere I looked - I saw a shadow of you passing,
In each whisper of leaves blowing in the wind,
I heard your voice -- calling,

Oh my little one - I'm here- I'm here
Please make your way home,
If I had some magic powers,
I'd whisk you home.

Home to where our hearts could be one again,
Home to the gay abandom of furry creatures playing,
Children laughing - toys dancing between four paws

Keep safe my little one -
Until you;re in my arms again.

my heart is breaking for you, but I believe Cookie is warm and safe....

UPDATE: Might be a good lead
 

About 5 minutes ago I got a call from a lady where I taped a flyer to her mailbox. She told me that if I had not left a flyer today she would have never called.
She said that this week she saw one of her neighbor's kids maybe 8 or 9 yrs old black little girl walking a very tiny yorkie. I told her that I did knock on a door where there was a small yorkie and there were family pictures of a black family could that be them? I told her the yorkie I saw through the door was all gold and short hair maybe 1.5 inches long and that was not my dog.

She told me "NO this dog is microscule tiny" " I have only seen her walk this tiny yorkie this week. She told me that she will be outside during the day and wait to see this little girl and she will call me that same second so I can drive by and see if its him. I only live about 1.5 min from this location, its about 1.25 miles away. She kept telling me if it is him NOT to give her any kind of reward. She was only doing this because she knows and can tell how bad I want him back.I thanked her so much.

PLEASE pray that this is the lead that I've been praying for. She asked if he was microchipped and he is. I told her if its him to just get him and call the cops. I let her know that I will take him and I dont care what happens after that. They can call the cops but I have his microchip info in my car!

Come on Cookie:D

WOW - I have goosebumps all over and am praying very hard!!

Oh my God...Please Please let this be Cookie!!! I will pray and pray that this is him. It just has to be!!!!
I'm sorry I'm in tears right now. Please let it be him.

Keep us posted and we will keep on praying extra hard. He NEEDS to be home!!!!

:hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands:

Oh please please let that be Cookie!!!! **fingers toes paws and everything else crossed**

I am sending Prayers that this is Cookie!! Hoping & Praying!!! Pls do not go alone. It could be overwhelming, you need support either way. I know you will update us.....we're All hoping with you!!:hands::aimeeyork

I'm off to light another candle!!!!

My husband will be going tomorrow on and off. Plus I will go when the kids are out of school which is early release around 2 pm. I wont go alone at that point. It may or may not be him. Pray with all my heart that if I do see this little girl walking a yorkie ...that it is him. If it's him then there is NO way that they did not know that his owners are looking for him because I do have flyers posted on the stop signs and bus stops on those streets but it was today that I taped flyers to each mailbox plus knocked on the doors in those streets.

I know if I see him and he looks at me I will rush to grab him no matter what. I am in no way trying to hurt a child and at that age she does NOT realize what my broken heart feels like and I'l call the cops. I know I will be shaking so hard that I will probably drop my phone.The little girl might be terrified but I've been living this nightmare since Sunday.
I prayed to God today to please guide me and I'm glad that I kept walking and knocking on doors and every time I felt so tired I kept telling myself " This next house may be the one" so I kept going.

Anyway I am really trying to keep calm because it may be a bad lead.
I have a folder with all his medical records plus the AVID chip info in my car. I can always tell the cops that we can all go to the Emergency Vet clinic that's open 24 hrs and they will scan him for free.
I checked the distance and its 1.8 miles from my house. It's a pretty straight line down that street with 1 turn .

Gen

Oh my, God please let this be Cookie we are praying for this please hear our prayers.

please please please!!!

GOD please let this be cookie. I will continue to pray.

I just read your update. Please, please let it be Cookie. He needs wto be home. I'm praying really hard for you Gen. Let us know.

Cindy

Can't wait to find out. I will pray for a safe homecoming.

I am saying extra prayers. Please Dear God, let this be Cookie.
Bring this very sad situation to a happy ending.
Please, hear all of our prayers.

I am praying SO hard that this lead is good.

I have not posted on this thread, but I've been reading. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my past yorkie, Maddie, twice. Once the day she came home, and another time when some friends of ours were watching her. Thank God, she came home both times. I have a very good feeling in my heart that Cookie will be returned to you. :love:

I hope that I at least get to see that yorkie tomorrow being walked.Because now those homes have my flyer and if they do have them they might not want to walk him.

I may be over analyzing things but when I was in those blocks today. I saw a few people getting out of their car and stuff so I would stop in front and wave them down and give them a flyer. All of a sudden this big black kid talking on his cell came out of his house and walked toward my car like waiting for me to give him the paper that I was taping to mailboxes. NO ONE just walked up to mycar and put their hand out tosee what I was handing out but he just opened hisfront door, not to go into his car, not to go check the mail but like to see why mycar was parked in the street...
Might be another coincidence , I dont know. The thought jumped into my mind when I remembered the lady saying that the little girl was black. Maybe that was the house. I dont remember the house number but it was within 1-2 blocks of where the girl was seen.

Gen

Bless the lady that called you! I just know she will be watching out for you & "Cookie" (if it's truly him)! We're All hoping it is!!

It lets you enter all of your dogs information and they will send you daily e mails with updates of any dogs that match your description that have been turned into the animal shelters around you.

Someone tried to steal Shilo once, the only reason I got her back was because I followed my gut. I was walking down the street and felt like I needed to go to the industrial park behind my house, sure enough second office I walked into there she was! The lady said she was going to call but she didn't know the area code, RIGHT! But follow your gut even if it seems crazy it might help! My prayers are with you!

I have been following this sad story and I feel really bad for you. I have been praying very hard. I don't quite understand the the reasoning for mentioning the race of the kids. Describing a child as a big black kid. Not necessary.

I meant no disrespect to anyone believe me. If it was hispanic and the other older child was hispanic I was just trying to make sense if it was a coincidence. My family has many races so this was not intended as an insult to anyone. My focus is to write down all the facts and details as much as possible. My brain right now is on auto pilot. I've even told people " I have a large...and what Iwas trying to say was my yorkie is missing and am offering a large reward" I will leave it at that. My only focus is getting my furbaby back before he becomes symptomatic and may require urgent medical care.
I'm truly sorry for how the words came out totally wrong .

Gen

I'm sure she meant no disrespect. Gen is worn out and tired, and just trying to fill us in on all the details. I think she was just trying to say maybe they are from the same family.

Gen, I too have been following this from the start. I have not posted many times, but I have been thinking of Cookie, and I kid you not, I have had two dreams about you finding him already. (One was in the storm drains, maybe b/c I had a dream like that before, but this time it was Cookie. The other time was someone calling you.) You are such a strong person. I know you will find him. :hug:

I also don't think she meant any disrespect.
Gen, I can only imagine how much this has taken a tole on you and your family. You are in my prayers every night, and will be for as long as needed.
Please take care.

My Opinion Only
 

Hi Gen,
I've been following this thread from day one and I feel I need to make a few opinions on what's been going on with Cookie.
I feel really bad for what you've been going through but need to say my feeling about your search.
I've posted here on this thread a number of time giving you information but never felt you were reading any of my posts. I recommended you contact the police, radio, tv stations and city council meeting held in your area from the beginning. You didn't act on these idea's until later in the threads. I just don't understand.
Many people have shown their kindness in sending you money to help find Cookie and I have to commend them for having such gently hearts. I also have to acknowledge all the wonder people on this site for taking the time and effort for supplying site information and spending time online to help find Cookie.
I've owned Yorkies for the last 19 years and know this breed.
Yorkie's are different, they are a very special breed. My children had different breeds while gowning up but Yorkie's are a breed all to themselves.
They are in fact like a small child. They need extra care and protection because of their size and the fact they are in demand. Especially, if you have a little one under 4 lbs. Breese is very fragile and I have to take extra care with her.
What I've learned:
Hawks, Coyotes and Owls are known to carry off small animals at any time of the day or night. When Tuffy was alive, I had a hawk swoop down on her at the park. It happens and if it wasn't for me being with her, she would be gone. This was in the middle of the day. I was picking up Punken and a hawk flew over my shoulder, I turn my head and was looking at him straight on. One scary day to be sure.
They are never allowed outside alone either in the front or back yard without someone being present and close at all times.
Instead of wondering if this is your Yorkie and taking matter's into your own hands, call the police, let them talk to this women. I'm sure you have her phone number from earlier conversations with her. Give this information to the police and they will check and see if this is Cookie. I know.. I know law enforcement, let's leave it at that. Never take matters into your own hands when this could be in fact this little girls dog. Considering, Cookie was last seen in your backyard, the police can make a report of lost or stolen. Was this done?
I hope I didn't upset anyone because of this post but I have questions.

Mom to My Little Girls: Punken Pie and Breese Be Be
RIP: My Lil Ol Tuffy

I am wide awake ...still thinking . I got to sleep about 4 hrs.
A police report was made.About contacting tv stations and the radio. That's been done.If it's not a strong enough story for them, they will not air it. Believe me I spilled my guts to them. The only station that could help is a local cable channel that just shows the upcoming garage sales and other announcements, that channel is not viewed by many I think, because it wasnt until this happened that I heard about it In fact I called dozens of reporters plus countless staff writers. The popular radio stations do not air lost or stolen pet announcements, I asked how much was airtime costs and that's not the issue.They will air a local small business commercials. I owe more than what was donated
The lady that called me has only called me once and that was lastnight so I havent had more than one coversation with her.

The reason why I keep thinking about that call is because of yesterday when I drove by there. I would drive and leave my car emergency lights blinking and get out and go to at least 2 houses on each side.
I was talking to people that live on that block and once I moved to the next house. This kid opens his door before I even set foot on his driveway and just walked toward the car to get whatever I was handing out. He didnt proceed to go into his car or check the mail, he just went straight back into the house. Only after getting that call did I think that maybe he saw me knocking on his neighbor's doors and he came out before I could ring their bell.

Gen

Gen, This is Cookie. I feel sure of it.

Thank God there are still some good people in this world. Keeping my fingers crossed hoping that you will get to hug Cookie soon
