My baby is missing. I dont know what to do!??? - Page 70 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Gen, have you called any of the microchip companies lately and asked if Cookie's chip has been scanned recently. Thats how a woman in Massachusetts found her dog...the animal control officer actually caught her dogs, scanned it and then gave it away to one of her friends. The owner found out she had the dog when the chip was scanned..but ONLY cause the microchip company told her...not the animal control officer. Good luck...i keep checking back everyday in hopes to see a post that Cookie is home!

I did a little research on snakes in dreams and the best explanation I found is this

Quote:

Another meaning of snake is letting the old go and accepting the new. Because snakes shed their skin. Some see snakes as terrifying, but many ancient cultures respected the serpent. The symbol, to me, is about rebirth - the ability to shed one's current condition and create a new one.

Quote:

To the Native Americans, the snake is a symbol of transformation and healing.

But I almost want to hope that everyone else is right on with it being about Cookie in the shelter or with someone you know.
We'll still be praying for Cookie's safe return soon!

I have called AVID chip several times. But I just realized that there are several microchip databases. I know of 4 of them so I will be calling in the morning. That is what happened in that story. The woman kept calling the correct chip company but no reports of her dog scanned there. It was when she called other companies that one of them told her that her dog was scanned and the person who scanned the dog called the wrong chip company and gave them the chip# .

So tomorrow ,,,well actually in about 8 hrs I plan to call them all up.

There's a book called Creative Dreaming that describes a process by which you can get answers in your dreams. The Hopi Indians teach their children to solve problems in their waking lives through lucid dreaming--that's being aware that you're dreaming while you dream and being able to control events in your dreams.

So possibly your dream was telling you quite literally to ask where Cookie is, or what happened to Cookie, in your dreams. One of the instructions I seem to recall from that book--and I may be mixing this up with things I've read it elsewhere on dreaming--is to immerse yourself for an hour before going to sleep in the subject you want help with or want to dream about and to give yourself the assertion right before going to sleep, "I will get the answer tonight in my dream." Maybe even write this down.

Keep a pad and pencil/pen next to your bedside. As soon as you wake up, even if it's in the middle of the night, write down everything you can remember about your dreams. Do that before you do anything else, before you even get out of the bed, because dreams are elusive and the details slip away quickly.

The Hopis also teach their children that you can call on your dream friends for help if, say, for example, you're being chased by a monster. That monster represents a problem in your waking life, and you're not supposed to run from it but face it, and you can call upon someone in your dream to help you. If you defeat the monster in your dream, the Hopis say this somehow translates into solving the problem the monster represents in your waking life. It's been many years since I've read this book, and that's all I can remember right now.

Dreams are often your subconscious mind trying to work out a problem or resolve some issue. I've noticed in my own life that when I've had recurring dreams, they stop when I face, come to terms with, or understand what the dream was trying to convey.

I just googled the book Creative Dreaming: It's for sale and it's by Patricia Garfield, PhD, copyrighted 1985. I'm not affiliated with this book in any way--I just read it and found it interesting. I hope this can be helpful for you, Gen.

P Hudson · 12-20-2009, 10:34 PM

I forgot to mention that dreams are often metaphors. And what a snake represents to one person might not be what it represents to another. Most people fear or are repelled by snakes, but some people keep them as pets. So what does your husband think of snakes? Or two heads? What do these things make him think of?

And I just want to add that the information I've written about concerning dreams is pulled from either something I've read or from my own personal experience. I'm not an expert.

Cookie2 · 12-21-2009, 10:01 AM

I called the microchip companies this morning.

Home Again: Was extremely helpful and said that this mistake could deffinately happen if the person scanning the dog calls the wrong chip company. So even though your pet is chipped, that chip info is only through 1 Chip company. For us its AVID. She was kind and put all my info in the system. She said if they get a call with that chip number they will have a red flag in their system and get any info from the person calling and also contact me . So this could be an issue with some dogs or cats that shelters say they have been scanned but are not registered. If they call AVID and avid says its not registered. maybe it's registered with HomeAgain. I dont know how many Shelter employees would take the time to make 5 phone calls and stay on hold to see if the number is registered with that company...

PetLink :
(very rude and would not help, said they dont keep record of chip info from another chip comany) I asked if they could at least make a note in their system of my call and my number in case the dog is scanned and that way they have his chip info...

24PEtwatch: Said they also dont do that...

AKC: they actually told me that someone just called and gave his info. So I
just gave her my info to see if it matched and she said yes.They
have my numbers and address in the system

I wanted to say this that for several days as you know I've been getting the same 2 words at night. " ASK HERE" This morning the phone was ringing and I was still sleeping. The first thing that popped in my head was "ASK HERE"
I dont know , maybe I am suppose to ask on the phone? I sound insane I know but maybe I missed something in a phone conversation? I need to call someone back and ask. Either a shelter, or a person. So when I got a PM when I signed on YT saying that if a session with Lorrie would help...
Now I will ask Lorrie if I could get another session even though she said she thinks she got all the info to me.

We will see. I'm leaving a message with her on her phone.

blancla · 12-21-2009, 11:03 AM

Gen, I hope that Lorrie can give you some more leads or definite information. I pray that Cookie comes home soon.

Trust me I read my PM's but right now I have 450 PMs all have to do with Cookie lol. I thought it was either you or Sandy that made that report for me. Thank you!!! I dont want to delete them but I will have to soon because I have a max of 500 allowed.

I called Lorrie and left her a message to call me back.

The Dogs & Cats Forever is closed Monday,Tuesday and open Wednesday 10am-4pm. So I will be there the 23rd! I made a nice letter on behalf of YT members that donated.I am so happy with the items that Iwas able to get for them. Yesterday was our Maltese 4th Birthday and I made her a cake lastnight so I have to get the furbabies dressed and sing happy birthday to Lola. I got her a bag of treats and a new hot pink metalic Lulu Pink collar. I found it at Dollar Tree for $1 ! This was overstock so they had it there

Usually those Collars are at least $9

Gen,

I hope you find you yorkie. I just read the whole 70 page thread....it broke my heart. I am in Mass and friendly with one of the yorkie rescue groups, I will put the word out, one never knows. I will pray for a "Christmas Miracle" for you and your family....god bless, good luck. Rose

Cookie2 · 12-21-2009, 03:16 PM

Lorrie called me back. She did NOT want to take any money from me. She said she still has the same feeling. She told me NOT to give up. She told me just does not have a feeling that he has passed. She still sees him in the same place and he is ok. She repeated again, dont give up.

I told her about the 2 words I keep seeing in my dreams " ASK HERE"
she told me when I go out to look for Cookie to remember those words. They might guide me. She said to thank the folks that offered to donate for another reading and she apologized for her site being down. They are working on it.

Thank you guys for your offer. I have not checked pay pal but if there is something there for Lorrie's reading I will return it back to who ever donated it.

Thank you all. You have no idea that your constant prayers, replies, calls,PM's have kept me up and moving ahead.

lil louis · 12-22-2009, 10:41 AM

Just checking for in for updates. Hopefully today will be the day you find Cookie!

LilMissy · 12-22-2009, 11:12 AM

I love it that Lorrie was so honest and wouldn't take more money from you because she didn't have any more info.
I know that you won't give up on finding Cookie, you are so dedicated. There are so many of us that are thinking and praying for you guys each and every day. I truly hope that you get a Christmas miracle. Just remember to keep in the back of your mind, "ASK HERE", here could be some place that you wouldn't normally even think of asking.

Gen now has a copy of Cookie's 'lost' flyer as a 1meg .jpeg, (and so do I). The idea is to distribute as many as we can to vets, shelters, etc. in the hope that someone has seen him. I'm really talking in the AREA of Florida, outside the state. If he was taken there's no limit to where he could be now.

What would be nice is to get as many of you, that care to, help email the flyer to yours areas' vets, etc. I don't know if it'll work but the more exposure he gets the better the chances will be. If this has already been done then forgive me and I'll shut up.

If all this isn't a breach of forum rules then PM me and we'll exchange email addresses so these can get out. I'm just trying to relieve some of the pressure from Gen and do what I can. She needs to sit back and breath for a while.

joeys mom · 12-22-2009, 06:28 PM

Gen!!!!! I heard from Jessica Perillo from the Dr. Phil show today. She stated they are looking into doing a show for animal owners that have missing animals. She was gathering information to take to the discussion panel that meets on Jan 5th. She isn't sure they can do a lost ad featuring Cookie, but perhaps could interview you and they could post Cookies picture during the interview or something to that effect, if the panel agrees to do a show on this. She was asking about what steps you have taken, post etc. I advised YT would be a good start for her to monitor some of your efforts. She mentioned it sound like there needs to be a nationwide alert for missing animals simalar to the Amber Alert. Dr. Phil and Robin are avid animal lovers and she feels he would be interested in helping out animal lovers. She gave no promises, but feels this would be a very worthwhile topic. It will not be a quick process, I guess it has to go through alot of channels, but I feel very hopeful. By the time it airs, you and Cookie can be featured telling the other families how you two worked to be reunited, because we are praying for the Christmas Miracle and Christmas is just a few days away. I think we all need to light a special candle for you and Cookie Christmas Eve at 8pm and say a small prayer for you two. God hears better in numbers, and he should be able to hear all of us here at YT if we can do it together at the same time, mabey this will give Cookie the inspiration to find his way home if at all possible. This will be the only gift I want this year if for you to have your baby home with you and your family. Love Sharon
