oh sweetie. i just dealt with this to a tiny degree the day before yesterday. ((hugs))
of all things, the morning after I bought my pup, i was stupid enough to put him in the back yard, and he slipped under the gate and wandered off. :( i felt soo badly, and had people praying, and i wandered the streets just whistling and calling his name... but he is a puppy, and didn't have a name or collar yet. but PTL, my dad found him just wandering around in a neighbor's yard.

i'll pray right now that your love comes back to you.

I just put a flyer on the side of each mailbox. I am going out around 6 when most folks get home and start knocking also. I know they might have seen the flyer but I NEED them to see me, my face and my anguish.
I just walked my hubby's yorkie almost 6 blocks and yelled by every house calling his name. The more I called the more I cried.... I need the phone to ring. I'm praying it rings but it hasnt yet . I have to take my hubby with me because I've been breaking down in the middle of a sentence. I know there is a chance that a hawk or something got him. Several neighbors have told me
Maybe a hawk got him?" " OMG he's so little, Im sure someone snatched him up" I am basically ignoring those comments because then I give up.

I did search and find this site findtoto.com . They call all neighbors within a certain mile radius from your house.They record a message that a yorkie is missing& details. If no one picks up they will continue automatic calling or leaving a message. It's a great idea but it's not free. They suggested me paying for 1,000 home phone calls $100. I wish I had that money because I would do it in a heartbeat but all I have right now to help me is my car and my two feet and my fingers typing and posting everywhere I can think of.

I'm sorry I haven't thanked everyone for their prayers and wishes. I read each and every one of them and it helps me to keep going.

I will update soon

Gen

:cry: Prayers for you and your baby. Please keep up hope!!!

I am so sorry. . .my heart is breaking for you. . .please take the advice of the other posters and get out there and knock on your neighbors' doors. . .someone had to see something or if someone took him then maybe it's someone local who has been eyeing him for awhile. . .make sure you keep a log of who you contacted and what they replied to your requests. . .go back to each house who did not respond to your knock or ringing of their bell. Listen at their door for barking, ask the neighborhood kids to help. . .my sister's yorkie escaped her backyard, we immediately went out in our cars. . .but all the local kids helped too!! Fifteen minutes after she escaped, I found Bella five streets over being walked by a neighbor who stated that someone found Bella wandering on the street and thought that she belonged to him because Bella looked like his dog. If that neighbor hadn't been out looking for us with Bella on the leash we never would have found her. . . She is tiny and managed to get 5 streets over within 15 minutes!!!! Expand your search. If he escaped he may have just kept running and could be quite a distance from your local neighborhood. . . I hope and pray that you find him, keep looking, I have a good feeling that someone will contact you soon to let you know that they have found your little one. . .God Bless:)

god this put me in tears makes me want to jump on a plane and go help i hope he gets home safely and about the dognappers and the hawks as long as you know its a possibility then put it out of your mind and dont think of it again

My heart goes out to you, I hope you hear something good soon.

oh Cookie, please come home....we're all worried sick about you....

(((((hugs)))))) for Gen.

So very sorry to hear this

Hope Cookie is home in your arms very soon!!

I am so sorry. I pray for cookies safe return!!

I was hoping when I got to the end of this thread there would be good news. So sorry about Cookie! Praying for his safe return.

Hugs.

My eyes were just closing so I tried taking a nap...didnt work. I kept thinking of scenarios in my head of what could have happened. I went knocking door to door until I got a few blocks away to a family friend's house. She gasped when I handed her the flyer and she got teary and I couldnt finish a sentence telling her that I have not slept and my face says it all. I must have aged 20 yrs since yesterday. I am considering doing a pet amber alert.
It cost $49.95. I dont care at this point I'm borrowing it. I got the 1,000 flyers my husband got a friend to do that has a printing company. Tomorrow I will fill up my tank and drive to the main Animal Shelter thats about 20+ miles away.

Please pray folks. I'm praying, begging God to please return him home asap.
Thanksgiving is going to be terrible if he's not home with me. I force myself to try to function throughout the day but when the dark of night comes I feel like I'm drowning.

Iwill post tomorrow and may God please hear my prayers tonight.

Gen

I am so sorry. I hope your baby comes home soon.

Oh Gen, I'm so sorry your Cookie is missing!!...I just feel so sick in my heart when I see these posts......I wish I lived near I most certainly would be out there helping you look.......I will be thinking about you and sending you strong thoughts and prayers she returns to you....Stay strong for her.......:hands:

I am so sorry. I am sending prayers for you and that your little Cookie makes it home.
Have you offered a reward? I know it sounds bad, but I had a friend who advertised a lost boxer once for two weeks. She advertised a reward and and BAM! she got a call that day!
sending hugs!!:(

My heart is breaking for Cookie
 

Gen,
I'm so upset to think about what your going through right now. I've been told all my life that I'm a very strong person and can handle stress well, but to hear about Cookie has really taken a tole on me today. Just can't get him being gone out of my mind.
Wish I were closer to help look for him. Did you check all the newspapers?
We had something happen in our city a couple of years ago and a small dog was taken from a women's car at the drug store. She had just gone in for a minute to pick up medicine and someone broke out her side window and stole her little dog. She put up reward signs all over the neighbor and did get a call from some person stating he purchased this dog from someone on the street but sounded like it was her dog. He wanted $10,000 from her if it happened to be her's. She called the police and told them what happened and they got involved. Comes to find out, this guy stole her dog and was trying to get money. Can't say enough about out Police Department, they set up a sting and caught the guy.
We're still having problems in the area of people trying to grab especially Yorkie's when your walking. I went to the City Council in our city and told them that I have experienced this three times and put them on notice, if anyone tried to take mine, that I would go down fighting and I have Cancer and I don't care. We also have a senior housing on the next street and a lot of the tenants have little dogs. I also them it was dangerous because if a senior was knocked down and hurt and their prize position was taken, this would be the most devesting experience for them to live through.
Need I say, the Chief of Police came up to me and assured me I'd have patrol when I'm walking any of my girls and also the seniors. Not that I'm not a senior...lol
I have Chemo tomorrow but will check back often for updates. Cookie is in my thoughts and prayers.
Wish I could do more to help.... this is really upsetting.

I am so very sorry, I am praying for his safe and speedy return. my heart is breaking for you!!!

My heart is just breaking for what you are going through. Wanted to say my thoughts and prayers go out to your little one and your family.

I'm so sorry that you're Cookie's still missing. I was hoping for a posting that he's home safe and sound. You're in my thoughts and prayers (((((((Hugs))))))

I was checking for an update.. Im so sorry that your baby is missing... I live in Saint Petersburg Florida... wish I could help somehow...

Cookie
 

My heart breaks when I read these posts. I know what it is to want nothing more than to hold your baby. Please keep strong, Cookie needs you to be strong and healthy for when he gets back home. God is watching over him and angels will keep him safe. We will pray for both of you. Wish we were able to come and help, we are with both of you in spirit.

Praying for your baby's safe return...

I just had to sign back on and post this. I can't even think straight at the moment. My eyes are so sore. I want to thank bettyeanne
She wanted to pay for the amber pet alert for Cookie and sent it through Pay Pal. I'm always suspicious of posts and people asking for donations so this just blew me away how a total stranger could do such a heartfelt thing.The amber pet alert was $50 and she sent me $75. I am going to use the remaining $25 and get a small ad in the paper for Cookie.

Thank you so much.Like many other people that are struggling to keep their heads above water with their mortgages and bills. We are one of them. I dont know what else to say except thank you and I will call you personally when I can talk on the phone. Right now my husband is talking to family and friends. When he saw all the candles that were lit for Cookie plus then a Paypal pmt for Cookie's amber alert? We both just burst and could not speak.

bettyeanne : If you were here I would give you the biggest hug you ever had.

a million thanks. I hope to call you with good news

Gen

Oh, Gen, absolutely no thanks necessary. I meant to be annonymus ... God has blessed Patrick and I so much, every time I feel a certain "tug" at my heart I know it's a sign to "pay it forward". I, like everyone else here, feel so helpless and I'm praying that this will help in some small way to bring your baby back to you. God bless you and I pray little Cookie will be home soon.

Just wanted to tell you , make sure you check KIJJI everyday too to make sure no one has put him for sale... on craigslist make sure you check the pet and lost and found part.

what part of florida are you in ??

Me, Cleo and Max are all praying for a safe return of your baby
