Here's an idea: What about having someone pretend like their car broke down and ring the doorbell and ask to use the phone??? Cell phones are always running out of battery power when you need to make an important call. Once inside take a picture with the camera part of the cell phone.

wish I was closer my daughter Z car is always breaking down, I wouldn't have to lie. but a cell phone pic is a good idea. might need a male to do the job though might be less suspicious.

I second this idea...And yes a man would be nice, but a woman (not you Maureen) would be less intimidating. Would you allow a strange man into your home to use the phone? Don't think I would.

I Pm'd Maureen about your offer Deb...I explained to her that I feel as though I know you and that you can be trusted to do the right thing...after all this is a Yorkie we're talking about, and I know how much you love your own. This really could be the chance to find out if there really is a Yorkie there and whether or not it COULD be Zeke.

I have been reading this post every day in hopes for reading about Zeke's return. I just wanted to share an encouraging story...

When I was about 7 yrs old, my mom looked out the window and saw that a Lhasa Apso had wondered into our backyard (it was during the winter). She immediately went outside, took the puppy in, warmed him up and fed him. Upon looking at the collar, she saw his name (Reggie) and a phone number, which was long distance (over an hour away from us). She called and asked "Are you missing your dog?" Turns out - Reggie was a very expensive dog who had been stolen over SIX MONTHS PREVIOUSLY. The woman was elderly and immediately broke down in tears. Long story short - the groomer had actually stolen the dog and sold it to someone who we believe lived in our neighborhood. It could never be proven so there were no official charges against them, and the husband came and picked up her dog. About six weeks later the man called us back that the wife had passed away and he was going into a retirement home, and offered Reggie to my mom free of charge because he knew how attached we had become in the few days that we had him, and he thought Reggie needed to be in a home with children. Reggie lived with us for the next 11 years, but the moral of the story is....

the woman passed away with her Reggie at her side - he was returned to her after 6 months. So never give up hope!!! Someone with a good heart in the right place will do the right thing...

I couldn't agree more, and we would never slander anyone. We have been glued to the computer for almost 6 weeks, Zeke could not be closer to me if he were my own. We have a great bunch on board that feel the same way. I doubt that Tahoe turns out to be Tahoe, you were not there, and did not see the looks that could kill when the kid said Dad that's Tahoe, this is not a blind pursue!!!!!!

We have been tracking, and looking at every lead available, also putting up posters that continue to be taken down in that area. The father first said he thinks all dogs look like Grandmas dog, and then said The Grandmother had seen a dog in that area that looked like Zeke. A while back a lady came in and said she saw a little yorkie loose in that area at night. This area is very close to Maureen Lives. So believe me we are not doing a blind search, and getting a lawyer, and a PI involved because we do not have any clues that are profound!!!!!!!!! I am sorry about your insenative feelings about the case we all want ZEKE home at any cost. I am sure the officer in charge will listen to a lawyer and a PI, much more than he will listen to Maueen, Maureen is so raw from all this and hurt, that it is so good to have Galatea and a Pi on board to take some of the pressure and put the pressure where it belongs on the officer!!!!!!!!! I hate to tell you, if it is ZEKE he than is a stolen dog, as posters are everywhere in that area, and the grandson identified the dog, and they haven't bothered to return him for the reward, that is a felony harboring a stolen animal!!!!! That stolen animal cost over 1300.00, so the police should take this very seriously!!!!! We are on this forum to stay positive, and positive it will be, we will not tolerate anyone telling us anything negative, or doing anything to put a negative line around this very important case. We are not the bad guys here!!!!!!

Thanking you for sticking up for Zeke and all of us here who feel just the same. We have our heart, body and soul in this case, and we will get ZEKE back home where he belongs, hell or high water!!!!!!!!!!! He will be returned to Maureen and justice will be served!!!!!!!! It's not o.k. for some one to pick up a lost yorkie or any dog, and keep it without putting an add in the paper, and believe me they have seen the posters and they know what they are doing, they are committing a felony by not returning ZEKE!!!!! We are not the bad guys here, may I make that clear. We have not accused or slandered anyone, we are not that dumb. However we do have a right to do everything in our power to get Zeke back, and we are following the law, I can't say the same for the people who STOLE ZEKE!!!!!!!!!

Ty for such a wonderful compliment hun. I am always honest and treat people as though I want to be treated. I love Yorkies and most of all any living breathing thing or things.

All I know is if it were my missing dog I would be greatful for any and all help, so I'm offering to do what I can. I know how hard it must be to be thinking your so close and yet so far. I just want to know for sure if they have a Yorkie or not. I would hate to think we are wasting our time with them if he could be elsewhere. I mean geez even if the police don't want to get invloved perhaps if we have more conclusive information then they will have to assist more.
