Anyway, Winston's having a good day, thanks for asking. And Mango?
It's been a long time since we've heard anything...do you really think someone would be stupid enough to try to sell a stolen dog at the local Walmart? Maybe...I hope she finds him. But I'm starting to have doubts...maybe we should keep looking, is there a TV station or radio station in the Tracy area? If we can get this story broadcast, it will at least make people aware...and watch for Zeke, maybe someone with a heart will actually come forward with information. Still praying for Zekes' safe return to his loving family.

I would have already fallen apart if it wasn't for you amazing women! I came to this site hoping to find one or two people to keep an eye out for my precious boy, what I have received is something of a working miracle. I cannot describe the feelings I have for everyone of you. Each of you have invested time into this community and you have made strong bonds with each other... I see it in the posts. I am new here and you have each treated me like an old friend. I would like to share a little about myself and why my bond to my dear Zeke is so strong. For the past fourteen years I have been wife and mother. I lost my identity along the way which I know happens to a lot of moms. I have wanted a Yorkshire Terrier all my life. I always said when I grew up I would get one. Well, I gave birth to my first child in 1993. This was not the time for a brand new puppy, so I waited. As Christopher got older my dream of getting my Yorkie was nearing. He was finally old enough to be trusted around such a small dog so I began searching for a breeder in our area. Before I could find a breeder I was surprised by the news that I was three months pregnant. So I thought great another seven years! So again I waited. This time however was a little different. My baby Cayden was three years old. In November of 2005 I almost died from internal bleeding due to a disease I did not know I had. I had to have several transfusions and was in the hospital for a couple weeks. I finally was released but it was short lived... a week latter I was back in the hospital with more bleeding. In just four months I had been hospitalized so many times the nurses knew me by name. I have Crohnes Disease and it is a chronic, incurable disease but with medication and/or surgery partial control is possible. For some reason the doctors could not get my bleeding to stop and I was on a lot of medication. In March I decided I was not going to wait any longer for my Yorkie. I know at the time this was very selfish of me because I was only thinking of myself. I was afraid I may die and I did not want to leave without ever having my Yorkie. I wanted a little girl so bad because I have two sons and never had a daughter and I wanted my girl. I found an add in the paper that day and drove out to see them... she had two boys no girls. For some reason when I picked up Zeke I could not put him down. Even though I knew I did not want a boy something drew me to him. I left there with him. I had not told my husband of my intentions. I think the saying goes... better to ask for forgiveness then for permission... I was taking that route. I had been reading my Bible and happened to be in the book of Ezekiel, to make it more dog friendly I shortened it to Zeke. After I got him I went into the hospital once more ( which my husband snuck him in for me :) ) I have never been back I have been in remission since April of 2006. He is my angel, he always made everyday wonderful. I woke up every morning to licky faces as I call them and we went about our business together everyday. I now have a huge hole in my heart and I do not feel like the same person I was. I miss him so much my body aches. I know this was long and you guys are probably thinking, and why did we need to know all this, but I could not think of any other way to express the immensity in which I am so humbly grateful for everything you guys are doing for Zeke and I.

I talked to Proud mommy tonight and I think she has not gotten on because the manager at walmart gave her the run a round. He said he couldn't just go though all the tapes and if he and the GM do and they see a lady they will call the police. She called the Tracey police and they were very rude. she is really having a hard time. Everyone Please keep her and Zeke in your Prayers. They need it really bad right now.
I am sure she has more to add to this. I may have forgotten some of it.

Do you guys think this looks like him at all? I live near Proud mommy and I have been searching craigslist and the sac bee for dogs and here is one from craiglist. I talked to the woman that is trying to re-home him and she doesnt have any more pictures and she doesnt really have any info on him. She wont even tell me his name??? I thought it was weird, this isnt the best pic to compare it to....

Hmmm...I do see simiarities, although it's hard to tell for sure. The baby in the pic does look sad though, so I wonder if he is missing his real mommy...all the more reason to think it could be Zeke?! I also find it odd the lady wouldn't give you any info on him. Did she say if the dog was hers or how she aquired him?
