Sushi just relit her candle for Cookie. We are NOT giving up, and will NOT stop praying for Cookie's safe return. |
We're still thinking about Cookie here. Relit the candles for him. And we'll never give up hope! |
Prayers for Cookie's safe return continue! |
Prayers for Cookie Still praying for Cookie, hope he's back in your arms soon. He is not forgotten, and never will be. Blessings to his family, keep the faith. |
Gen - we are not getting tired or giving up hope for you and Cookie to be reunited one day. Hopefully soon. Still sending prayers up. |
I am going to get on here one day and see that Cookie has returned home. I feel so sure that he will be back in your arms someday. Just lit a candle for little Cookie. =] |
Thank you for keeping him in your prayers. I dont sign on several times a day like I used to. Because it just affected me pretty bad every day. I've been keeping busy even though Cookie is in my mind dozens of times through out the day. Today I got a call from a lady that found a Yorkie near me she said she felt sure it was not mine but just wanted to call and ask. She sent me a picture on my cell phone and sure enough it was not Cookie. This was another larger Yorkie that weighs around 12 lbs. No tags or collar. She said it followed her around to her house and she didnt want to keep it there. I told her to go and get it scanned, its free. She didnt want to.. I had errands to run but I told her that I would go and pick it up and get it scanned. So I was on the phone calling the No Kill Shelter and asked if they had room for one more and explained the situation. So I put a crate in my car and head over to the lady's house, then she calls me and says that her neighbor knows the block where that Yorkie lives. So they were going to take it and knock on some doors. So I dont know if that yorkie was reunited or not. I will let you guys know if there are any updates soon. Gen |
Gen, I don't get on YT much, but briefly glanced at all the posts. Wow, this has been going on for a long time, and my heart goes out to you. I did not read too many posts, but do you think that maybe a hawk got ahold of your Yorkie? The reason I ask is that this happened to my girlfriend who had a Yorkie. I know we keep our furbabies in fences, for the most part, but that does not mean an eagle or hawk could not get to them. I don't mean to make you feel worse, but this is just a thought. Like I said, I have not read many of the replies here, so maybe somebody does have Cookie. I hope and pray you find her. Please keep up posted. Kate |
I believe you are the person who called me in Dec. when my Yorkie was missing for over an hour. You were so kind to put an ad on Craigs List and I have been thinking about you since but didn't know how to reach you until I posted on the forum yesterday and someone told me you are Cookie 2. We went north 2 days after that horrible experience and when we came back Dec 29 we were unpacking like crazy. We moved to Port st. Lucie in Nov. I'm hoping you have him back safe and sound and I have been praying for his return since that day in Dec. I was absolutely devastated and he was missing only about any hour (he was under the recliner but didn't bark until an hour later. He must have been so scared) so I can only imagine how it must feel to have a missing Yorkie. I think it must be worse than having a dog die as at least then you know where he is but not knowing is horrible. I live in the Cascades in St. Lucie West and hope you will reply to this with good news. Lorraine |
"I think it must be worse than having a dog die as at least then you know where he is but not knowing is horrible." Yes I totally agree. Knowing let's you accept reality and you can move on. Not knowing will leave anyone in my situation. Gen |

I dont know what happened to Cookie. All I know is that I found a hole in the fence after he was missing. I never knew it was there since it was hidden by a bush. He could have been a haw, he could have slipped through the hole, someone may have stolen him. That is why I am not giving up hope. I was by the kitchen window while they played and went to potty in the back. I think I would have heard the horrid screams if a Hawk grabbed him and stabbed it's claws into Cookie. That's |
Are you in St. Lucie West? I'll alert anyone I know here to watch for your baby. |
I am so sorry. It sounds like you have done so much so fast. Did you offer a reward? Perhaps say he needs vet care and put ad in papers in your areas if someone is selling one like yours to please call you. You will buy the dog. Dog needs medical help and big medical bills etc,etc. Anything to get them to call you and not want a sick dog. I am trying to think so fast how a person could possibly think who takes these dogs. Make sure you do the free papers. Pennysaver, recycler, craigslist, kijiji. These are the ones in my area. Check all in your area. Hope someone out there knows something else to do. I have helped so many dogs thru the years. Even found injured one. Paid $125.00 at ER vet. Found owner and was reimbursed. They wanted to "Wash dog" and he ran out of door into traffic. There was one Big Sheep Dog, all that hair. Covered in grease and dirt. Took me and 2 kids to wash and clean and dry him for he wanted in bed with them. He had family with 5 kids who came to get him 10 days later. I could go on and on. There are lots of people who care. They just don't sell papers or make good stories like gangs,murders and robberies do. We are praying that a good person has him and looking for you to return him to. Just read the love and care these folks have for animals on this little site. And this is just one little spot. GOD Bless you and just try and rest even if you cannot sleep. I AM A LATE ONE, so if I am up and you want to talk. ???We are good listeners. Jessie & Poohbear |
HI Gen, Just wanted to let you know that we passed out Cookie's flyer at the Daytona 500. We hung several all over the motor home as well. I arrived at New Smyrna Camp ground yesterday and I put his flyer up on the bulletin board here. I also sent the flyer home with my Naples friend and my Tampa Bay friends.(they also own Yorkies) Wow, is it cold here. I leave to come home on Thursday...so if you can think of any place else in my end of Florida that may help, I would be more than happy to post away. I will also post on my ride home anywhere we stop. People have been real nice....so we can only hope and pray. God bless you Gen, still hoping he will be back home to you soon...Rose and Levi |
cookie wabted to let you know I still pray for Cookie. YT people are the best, so helpful and supportive. |
Still praying for cookie and hoping you are reunited! |
Prayers for Cookie's safe return Gen, I just read this post and have been sitting here with tears running down my face. How devastating! I can't imagine how painful this has been for you, but want you to know that prayers and best wishes are being sent to you. Never give up hope. We lost a family heirloom that caused us to lose sleep, cry rivers of tears, and lots of heartache. We put up flyers with our heartfelt sentiments and offered a NO questions asked Reward. After several months, we got a call. It was a neighbor who returned it (with an explanation) and we gave the reward happily. It was such a happy day for us. I am just hoping that you have that happy day soon too! Another thought; maybe you can contact your local news stations with this story. They love a good tearjerker story and this is surely one of them. I have seen many stories on our news here about lost dogs. Newsrooms say they get tons of emails, phone calls and reaction from those storylines. Email them explaining how much heartache his disappearance has caused you and your family and how much he means to you. Also say that you want to warn people of the dangers of maybe a dog snatcher in the area. Explain that he has liver problems and is prone to seizures which can happen at any given time, leading to him losing his life, and at the very least, having to go to the Vet ER. Send them lots of photos too. You never know, maybe someone somewhere will see this and report the person, or the person who has Cookie may get so worried that all the exposure will be too much and turn him in. It's worth a shot? Keep Cookie's face out there. Don't give up, miracles do happen! Hoping and wishing for his safe return and a happy reunion soon! prayers, Bella |
Missing sick Yorkie, woman desperately searching in St Lucie West TCPalm.com (User story from Gennel) There is another article but I don't have a link to that. It's not often that you can make a friend over the internet, but I think I can say Genie has become a friend. She's stronger than many of us could be and she has it where it counts-- patience, and that's the one thing she needs to have right now. |
still praying for a miracle for Cookie & his family. God Bless, keep the faith |
Gen, I know you've gotten your story published before, but YorkieLvr makes a good point, and I think the "possible dog snatcher out there" has good reader appeal. There are lots of weekly newspapers in small communities, and you never know when an editor will have a hole to fill in his or her publication. Daily papers also have holes to fill and their readers would also be interested in a possible dog snatcher (and there is evidence that would support this idea). And that gives me another idea: a human interest story about how the disappearance of your dog led to helping others reunite with their lost pets. Your story prompted me to get my Yorkie puppy microchipped. The photos are a great addition as well. Once a month you can send an update, including one about how you were finally reunited with Cookie. Here's a link to a list of Florida papers: Florida Newspapers. Freelance writers and artists self-syndicate--or attempt to--by sending their articles, cartoons, etc. en masse to every publication they think might print it. You can slant it toward a particular community or for papers or statewide. I'm a freelance writer and editor and would be willing to help you free of charge. My heart goes out to you, Gen, as does the heart of so many others on this board and elsewhere. You're not alone. |

She's had some rather raw responses to her ads in craigslist, including one that basically said "Forget him and move on". That one is high on the suspect list. |

gigi, Good thoughts, all of them. Much of this has been done, plus. This has been probably one of the most intense searches ever seen for a 4lb little dog. |
nothing to much for Yorkie loves..... :aimeeyorkHey go :animal-pato the end of earth for that little face with it;s pink tongue ready to give those little sweet kisses,,... what could be a better reward for our love of each other.? Jessie & Pooh bear |
happy reunions do happen I told a few friends and relatives about Cookie because we all love our furkids, and my cousin who works in the movie business and lives in LA, called to tell me that Sandra Bullocks husband Jessie James' dog went missing too. He put flyers up everywhere and of course was on their news pleading for help. He said in an interview that he would kick someone's a** if they stole his dog and he would find them! :D. The dog went missing on Jan. 26th, 2010 and some lady called them the other day and said she saw the flyers around and realized she has his dog. Maybe the pressure of seeing the flyers and being "found out" got her, and she turned the dog in? IDK, but such a happy ending! Wanted to send this along to hopefully keep your spirits high and let you know that many prayers are being said for Cookie's return. |
1 Attachment(s) I have not posted in a few days and sometimes that does me some good. Trust me I think I have done just about everything suggested. I still post on craigslist and will continue to do so till the cows come home. I post at least 1-2 times a week there. I am feel like I am doing much, much better. However my brain and body dont think so. I no longer have nails and have honestly gained like 18 lbs since he went missing. I miss him every single day and its very difficult to not think about him. Especially every time I step out of the shower, Monica is right there anxiously waiting to lick my ankles dry. This is something that Cookie did every single day.None of our other dogs ever do that. So you could imagine me stepping out of the shower and wiping my face and feel that my ankles are being licked? For a second I think it's Cookie. She has been absolutely amazing but she will NEVER replace my first baby and that's Cookie. I'm starting to get busy with decorating halls. It's draining work but it's bringing in some very needed income for now. I don't want anyone to think that I've just left YT. I still sign in and read posts but I have to remove myself from the website. I just jump from thread and I start to feel sad. Sometimes I read about a yorkie's birthday and I just start to hurt thinking about Cookie's birthday next month. 3 Weeks ago I did something I thought I would NEVER do in a million years. I got a heart shaped tattoo with a blue paw print inside of it. You cant see it unless my hair is in a ponytail. I showed my mom and I was afraid to because she's so against stuff like that. When she saw it she just caressed the back of my neck and told me it was beautiful. She didnt need any explanation, she just knew. ANyone that sees it just nods their head like "I know thats for your baby" It HURT A LOT. But I started think of being angry and frustrated that someone just refuses to do the right thing and the pain of the burning needle disappeared. Gen |
I ♥ your tattoo. It is perfect :thumbup: Very nicely done. I can completely understand how you must feel, and don't blame you for not posting every single day. I come and read your thread all the time, sometimes a couple of times a day, but I don't always post. I do however keep Cookie in my thoughts and prayers each and every day. The other day I even went back to the very beginning of this thread and read it from the start, just to refresh my memory. It is heartbreaking. I feel so sad for you and what you've gone through, and what you continue to go through. Whether you come back to this thread regularly or not, we will all still be here hoping and praying that Cookie is home soon. |
