Gen I just spoke with CNN keep your fingers crossed!

Just checking in for updates. I always go directly to the last page hoping for good news.

Winston and I want to be here when Gen gets back...we are having a good feeling about this lead...could it be...please let it be, Cookie.
I know a story like this would be the headline of our local newspaper and local news. Is this so common that those in Florida don't find it intriguing, heart wrenching.
Cookie please come home for Christmas...Amen

Please please be cookie and if not.... please big man upstairs keep him safe and protected.... thankfully we are having good weather here, it's warm .. not cold... We are big on dogs down here, all restaurants, malls, stores are really dog friendly, he has to be seen some time some where... I would go to Gen's in a heart beat and help her I am really close to Port St Lucie.. I just hurt so bad for her I could not magine:dogwalk:
come on cookie run run run we are all waiting for you!!!!
I am so impressed by how all YT' ers have responded!!!!!

maybe . . .
 

Gen, I was looking online for ways to find lost dogs and I came upon an organization that finds lost pets using search dogs. They were in Texas, so I did another search and found a national directory for the Missing Pet Partnership. They list someone in the Tampa area, though it says she isn't currently working with a search dog. It gives her contact information. I don't know . . . it might help.

Sometimes when I've posted to this thread and put links in the post, it didn't show up here, so I'll just tell you to search "Pet Detective National Directory" without the quotes. The Website talks about fee-based detectives and volunteers.

I had never heard about using dogs to find a dog, and I don't know what their success rate is or what they might or might not charge. Just trying to find any stone unturned.

It's not what you have in the world, but who you know..That makes the difference...
 

Hi Gen,
I'm so glad things are progressing well now. I know their were a few unhappy members when I posted before and could tell by reading the responses that it was better for me not to suggest any more ideas or post.

I discussed this with my close friend and I knew if anyone would be able to help get Cookie home she would be the one. I see she is now picking up and following through for all leads. Hope to have Cookie home soon.

Kathleen.... Mom To My Little Girls: Punken Pie Breese Be Be

OMG I would love to hug you right about now!! I hope they return your call and contact me!


Gen

I am at the edge of my seat just waiting for good news. I think of Cookie often during the day. He is still in my prayers.

Thank you everyone. All suggestions are read by me. Nothing sounds too crazy. Today I got calls all day. People calling about what I should do. Telling me their story. I also got a wrenching call. This lady called to tell me that she didnt want to scare me but this is what happened thisweek.
Her husband was going to get gas and their were cars stopped, cops were called and the humane society was there. Well there was a little dog running scared back and forth. They could not catch it. It ended up getting hit by a car. Well he comes home and opens a newspaper and says omg this is the little dog I was just talking about. She told me to please go check the remains and ask the Humane Society to please scan it several times to see if it has a chip. So my mom gets in the car with me and I grab a blanket and a flashlight. We drive about 15 miles away and park the car.We walk up and it was just too big of a mess. The remains looked way too big plus I saw white hair also. IT did have tan/black color but that white streak...
Tomorrow morning I am calling the Humane Society since they are only on the next block. Telling them to please take the time to drive a block away and take their scanner. Try to scan it several times. I rather know if its him or not. I just didnt feel anything when I saw the remains. It looked like it could have been a 7 lb dog. But nothing was recognizable. No ears,face,tail, everything was...I dont want to describe any more.
My mom just got back in the car with me and said " This is what you ve been going through for over 4 weeks?!" I said yes.
The other lead with the small dog drinking from a puddle, I didnt see him anywhere.

God watch over him , where ever he is. Tomorrow I have to call back a lady who also lost a pet and she is devastated and she just needed to talk.

Gen, I'm so happy that Jasper seems to be working out and may end up being a permanent fixture at your house! Seems like a bond is already forming with your 17 yr old son. That's great news! I'm still praying my heart out that Cookie will be home SOON! Hugs, Jean

I am hoping for a Christmas miracle. I have a good feeling, there is such a charge of emotion in this thread. There is something more here..I know it. I have a good feeling don't give up. We are all behind you. I am praying for Cookie.

Good morning Gen. I was looking to see if there was any news this morning. I'm sorry that the little one drinking from a puddle wasn't around. I watched your video this morning and cried my eyes out. I pray that you find Cookie soon.

I really thought that might be him. I'd keep looking in that area, it still might.

He is still in my prayers.. (hugs)

I was hoping to see a new reply that you found him. Any word from the TV shows?
