Gen my thoughts and prayers are not only with you...but they are always with Cookie as well. I pray that he is safe from harm, that he will be back in your arms soon...real soon.

You are so right. I used to put my little one out in her fenced yard, locked gate. Big 1/3 acre. Somehow I just did not realize how small Poohbear is or how BIG hawks are. Last summer I heard a small swoosh and by the time I turned feathers were floating everywhere and a Big fat pigeon was gone. It was clutched in the talons as this small hawk rose quietly in the air. Shortly after that we spent weeks watching a Red Tail Hawk build a nest in a big tall palm tree, and 2 babies being raised. During this whole thing we watched as big frogs, racoons,possums,big snakes and what looked like a cat as they were offered for meals. Needless to say, this sure opened my eyes to how dangerous it is for our little babies out in their big safe yard. I know my aunt did the same thing with her little silky. Everything was locked up and noone could get in..But at daylight she let her little one out to potty. She heard one little squeak as she stood in her bedroom looking out to see a coyote carry her little one down the back hill that was so steep no one ever used it for anything. She found a little foot later. It happens so fast. I like you, stand there and bring them in when they finish.. They are just to small to be left out for a minute.

OMG - finding a little foot - reading that I was almost sick - that is the most terrible thing I have heard in a long time...........I play with Mr. Darcy's feet when he is lying beside me while I watch TV - I can't even imagine.

Yes, hawks, owls, and coyotes are a danger to our little ones, but I don't believe that Cookie met his end this way and neither does Genie.

There have been a couple of heart-stopping leads and when this is over she'll tell all. Loose lips sink ships so each one has to be handled carefully. We just don't know if someone might be watching this thread, you know. If you were planning to run away with your neighbor you sure wouldn't want it in print someplace before you did it.;)

oh my..... keeping my fingers crossed..... can't wait to hear all about it. So hopefully, this is it this time!
oh god, please please please please please......

Praying for her return. Thank you for the encourageing note.... I just feel so much for this whole thing and continually try to think of what if's.. I guess we aren't to good at what if's when our love clouds our emotions. Thank God Jen has family and friends there to help her, to think outside the emotions.. A banker friend has told us through this whole recession,,,,FOLLOW THE MONEY..... It has worked for investments and maybe it would work for this little one too....I pray for reading in Yorkie tk ' "My baby found, My baby returned or opened the door and there she was.. I just feel it will happen... Jessie and Poohbear

You know what? I also have a feeling that it will happen one day!

prayers every nite for you and Cookie. I know he will return to your door.

Praying for Cookie
 

I am praying for your baby's safe return. I am so sorry this happened to you:unlove:

Foster mommy to Rocco

Still thinking of you, Gen -- and wishes and prayers for Cookie's return!

I just saw this story on my local craigslist...don't give up hope. Cookie will be back in your arms one day.

"""I FOUND HAVANA!!!!"""

Still praying for Cookie, each and every day.

Still praying for Cookie's safe return and staying very positive. Take care Gen. =]

Still praying for Cookie's safe return. x x

Yes, What a wonderful thing to happen. And that is what will happen with you and Cookie! We are with you emotionally every day. God Bless. Jessie and Poohbear

Thank you for posting that. I choked back a huge lump in my throat when
I read that. I will never give up hope that someday he will be in my arms again. I just have gotten to a point where I need to live again. My life has pretty much been a wreck since November 15th.
I have had some laughs of course. But the memories are vivid and fresh.
If I knew where he was exactly I would risk anything to get him back.
I'm just a mom missing her baby. That is exactly how I feel and exactly how I would be if one of my own kids was missing. You dont get over it EVER until there is closure.
I cant imagine how Mary (Yoshi'smom) has dealt with this for over a year. I guess when you dont have a choice you just have to get up in the morning and live which is what I've been trying to do.
Ive told Richard the day that my baby is back. I will have to Call him and tell him to let everyone know here first.

I thank God for all of you here. I am physically alone doing what I can do from here. I know there are many,many people who feel he will return and I'm the first. It's just a matter of how soon.

Gen

Oh Gen....
You and Cookie remain in my prayers every night!!

I know you have done everything possible but I will jus pu this out in case. Could you pepper all media, laundramats, vets offices etc with "Have you bought a small yorkie since ????. If so and it turns out to be my dog, I will pay X amount to get it back and no questions asked>". Just finding the person who has her is the question. Our prayers are with you both and know Cookie is eating, playing,& not in the pain that we suffer. Thank God it is the human condition and not theirs. I used to leave my little one with my Mom and he would only look for me the first week and then settle in with her. Following her around, barking and protecting her, etc. Nature protects them I suppose. That would help me when I had to be away for weeks. But when I came home he would not give her any attention. She would get so mad because she was bonding with him and him with her but he did not forge me>>>> God bless us all and our relationships with our little ones. I just know God will have all my pets of a lifetime waiting in heaven for me. What a big homecoming that will be. I have so many that I took in over a lifetime. Once Basset Hound that was neutered, groomed, nails and all. Put ads in papers all over. I already had 3 Basset Hounds... Never figured that one out.. Just scratched at our frontdoor one day and joined our family.

I just wanted to post this.
A lady's yorkie was taken from a gas station in FL.
She offered a $5,000 reward for her beloved yorkie back.
The following day a woman saw a newspaper ad for a yorkie for sale.
She said the picture resembled the one on the flyers.
She got the dog and the yorkie owner paid her the $5,000

By the way I've been talking to the woman who's dog named Havana was found after 6 months. The woman just took the dog and kept because she was instantly in love with the dog! She said everything I've been going through is exactly how she felt.

I found this on our Craigslist yesterday and thought of Gen and Cookie too. After two months this dog was returned.....keep the faith!

My Jack Russell Was Returned!

Oh Gen, I am so glad you spoke with Havana's mom. I know you have had a strugle with the feelings you were having and were concerned if you were just losing it or not, so now you know, it must be part of the griveing process, and you must still be sane!!! LOL

I think it was very good for you to speak to someone who has gone through what you have. See, lost animal owners need a support group. Hum, there is another thought for you....Like you don't have enough on you plate now....HAHA Give Miss Monica a gentle hug from Joey and me..Hugs Sharon, Joey and Cabella

Gen,
I didn't get to say how much I love your tattoo and the fact that your mum didn't say anything. Mum's always know what not to say at the right time, if that makes sense.

Have you put any posters up in schools? Just one of my strange feelings. x x

Still thinking of you Gen and keeping Cookie in my prayers.

Up here in northern Minnesota we have been alerted about a gang of theives that are stealing dogs. They have even been so brazen as to go onto a porch and steal the dogs. No dog is really safe up here. Since I normally tie my babies up and let them in the yard, I have been standing on the porch watching them. I'm glad the weather has warmed up so I'm not freezing.

Gen, you know my prayers are that you and your dear Cookie are reunited soon. Holler if you need anything.

Cyndi

Yes , I realize I'm not insane lol. My 13 yr old has noticed it the most though.
The other night she just finally talked to me about Cookie and how much this has changed me. I had to drag it out of her but she finally just told me " I havent told you anything because I know how hard this has been on you but you are a different person since November" I told her that I agreed and I struggle daily with just trying to be the same mom and wife I've always been.


My mom actually liked the tattoo and told me she just understands everything just by looking at what that symbolizes. A heart and a blue pawprint inside it. He will always be in my heart.

"this is not over"


Gen

I haven't posted here in a while, but it's been a real chase behind the scenes. I don't think Genie will mind, but we know where Cookie was in early January, several of their neighbors gave them up. But then they disappeared. They were traced but no sign of Cookie when they were found. I wish I could have been there.

LOL!! Yesterday my wife said to me "So, when are you going to Florida to find that dog? If I come home and you're gone at least I know where you are and what you're doing."

This isn't a search anymore, it's down to an interrogation and the one person who has the answer that would tell us where he is won't talk. God help you Junie. Where is your heart?

I only have one idea left up my sleeve.

I wish you the best of luck in your serch for Cookie. He needs to be home. He has a family. How heartless of someone to keep someone elses pet. How do they sleep knowing that someones heart is broken? I just don't understand. Bless you for helping to find this little one. It's nice to know that ther are people here on YT who..."have our back"

Cookie is always in my thoughts and prayers and we all have faith that he will be home where he belongs. :thumbup:

Hi, I have not been here for a while but not a day goes by that I don't think about Cookie.... who ever has this baby, is a real sick person, karma will come back on you, to take what is not your's!!!!!! to hurt someone so terribly!! I pity you when it is your judgement day!!!!
I HAVE A FEELING WHEN YOUR DAY COMES YOU WILL BE SOMEWHERE VERY VERY HOT. :mad:

I check daily for Cookie news and continue to light my candle on a daily basis. It is understandable that this has changed you, Gen. Cookie is like a missing child to you.
Cookie, praying for your safe return

Gen I think of you and Cookie often. I have another story of hope for you. I just met a couple at the my local dog park and they told me that their little Chihuahua was stolen and returned after 8 months. They had given the dog a bath and let him out to potty after. The ID tags were still off at this time. Well they had an unlocked gate and the dog got out. They realized this pretty quickly and immediately went out to look for it. We live in a community that has lots of new construction under way and they had workers all around. They asked around and even spoke to the Foreman and no one said they saw the dog. After months of putting up signs and posters everywhere and even offerng a reward they finally got a break. Someone left a note on their door saying I know where your dog is. Turns out one of the workers took him and his coworker knew of it. The coworker left the note and got their dog back for them. I guess guilt finally set in. I know you will get Cookie back. I just hope it is soon. Hang in there.
Hugs,
Melissa
