Prayer is deffff the most important thing. I say the prayer I sent you everynight for little Rikki & her family. God Bless that whole family. I just hope they stay strong & dont give up hope.

Love,

Lauren,

I understand the temptation, too, and I do hope and pray they find it in their hearts to return Rikki to her Mommy & Daddy.

"Just a dog" is my pet peeve, too! My girls are my children. And they have all of the feelings of children.

A number of years ago, a friend of ours found a dog that was dumped. The dog became so attached to our friend. I believe she was just so grateful that he saved her and gave her all the love in his heart. She followed him everywhere. Followed him when he plowed. However, his wife, did not like this medium size dog in their home, felt she was too big, knocking things over with her tail, etc.

So, she convinced him to let her brother and his wife take her. Every time they visited her brother, the dog was so incredibly happy to see our friend, no one else got her attention. She laid on his chest and stayed there.

His wife regretted her decision and asked her sister-in-law if they could have her back, and would you believe, she said, "No"? I was stunned, that anyone could care so little for a dogs feelings. She saw how the dog responded to her brother-in-law.

No, Rikki's family won't ever give up on her. Sandra has so paid for so lost dog service contracts, and an amber alert for dogs, and they send out 3,000-5,000 flyer's every week.

But when it snows, Sandra looks at the snow, depressed, and goes to bed.
I pray for her, as much as I pray for Rikki.

Today, it has been 4 weeks since Rikki was spotted at the two different church's.

The Pastors of both of those church's saw her, in the snow, and left her there, this tiny, helpless little dog. Makes me have 2nd thoughts about organized religion.

Yet, I attend mass every morning, praying for Rikki to be returned.

Love,
Sheila

Lit another. Keep up the vigil.

I'm not religious so I don't fully understand the candle lit. But I will send all my positive energy that she is well and being taken care off. I lost my dog and it took three weeks to find him again. So please don't loose hope, search and post in every shelter and look up craiglist and see if there's any ads that could be the little one.

XOXO

That's ok, we'll take the positive energy, too. Thank you.


There are flyer's everywhere, an amber alert, we check Craigs's list daily, and all of the shelters, Rescue's, Vets, etc. have been notified.

How did you find your dog again?

Thank You, Furbaby Friend. It should have been a very special celebration today for Rikki. Seems like whoever has her, doesn't have a heart.

Thank you for lighting a candle for Rikki. Should have been a Happy Birthday for Rikki. Instead, her Mama can't get out of bed, for the depression.

[Patti]

I think of and pray for Rikki every day.

Yes, temptation is there but people should also think about what is the right thing to do & what is the best for the dog. Bless your soul for going to mass for her everyday. I am SHOCKED that BOTH churches left the poor little girl out there. Poor little baby. I PRAY FOR HER EVERYDAY. RIKKI COME BACK HOME.

My prayers are with you both. My heart is so sad for you. Please do not give up hope and faith!
