Wishing you luck and hope this is Cookie.

I hope this does not sound too mad to you but there is a pet detective on TV in the UK and she says if you have an idea where your dog is you should scent mark the area for your baby so they know that you are near. She suggest your urine in a bottle and mark the area with this, so maybe you could try this on the area you think she may take the dog out to potty!! If it is Cookie he will know your smell and may react to it when out.

Has anyone heard from Gen to see how today went?

I check in here so often, hoping for good news, that I'm beginning to feel like a stalker.

Me too! So I finally decided to post.

I'm going to go light a candle for Cookie.

She had some word from her friend but I think whatever is going to happen may happen over the weekend. I'm not trying to over-dramatize this but the circumstances are expected to be right for a showdown. I really hope this is him. Unless there's a flood of the little ones in her area I don't see how it couldn't be him given what she's told us.

I am doing the same that way I will be updated if any news comes of this. I can hardly stand it. Hang in there Cookie your Mama is a fighter. :animal36

Thank you for the update. We appreciate it. I really hope that this is him too.

I was checking in to see if Gen heard any news. Richard, thanks for keeping us updated. I so hope and pray for good news for Gen this weekend! :)

I am JUST DYING for an update here.....*taps foot impatiently*

oh i have my fingers and toes crossed. cookie deserves to be home with his mommy once and for all! its just gone on to long. sending prayers your way!

praying for good news!!!! I hope Cookie is home safe :)

please please let this be Cookie.... Gen my fingers are crossed!

LOL!! It's tough on me too and I'll be at a funeral in Canada tomorrow and may miss the whole thing.

Oh boy!!! I certainly hope she gets her baby back. It has to be him, it just has to be!!! Godspeed Gen. Bless you for being so strong. Poor Cookie he is caught in the middle and he just wants to go home with his family. How could anyone just find a dog and not try to return it??? It just blows my mind.

I am so outraged!!!!! To think if someone steals a gun, car, even a pocket knife and you suspect of its whereabouts, the law stands behind you, and it doesn't matter how it came into your pocession. BUT if its your furbaby (something much like a child) that depends on you for its care and love, you have to apparently have enough PROOF or get into a confortation with someone before they will get involved!!!!!! My goodness she has his chip number, how much would it take for the law to pick up a scanner or take animal control to go and scan the dog in question, and it keeps everyone safe. Animal owners (at least I know I wouldn't) be offended to let them in to scan my animals. But then again I own mine!! If these people will steal or hide an animal they know is not theirs, would they care who they hurt??? Don't think so!!! This thread has really opened my eyes as to keeping my guys safer, the steps to take if the unthinkable happens, the rights of animal owners and how much help our shelters need. I hope this all works out for her, and Cookie is soon on his way home. I just pray it's not another let down for Gen, she has already been through so much with everyone acting so guilty and for reasons unknow to us. May God take control of this situation and keep everyone safe and the many, many prayers answered to have Gen and Cookie reunited. Sharon P.S. Just in case all doesn't go well, my husband has just suggested we all chip in a few dollars to make bail for Gen and her husband!!!! LOL
