Nickerson called me about the same time and told me that Animal Control went to the house around noon and he did not know the results and gave me the name of the new animal control officer. He told me that he has always returned Maureen's calls, but usually gets a voice mail and it has been telephone tag. He is on 4 days, then off 4 days.
Because I have conflicting information and Maureen thought the female Animal Control officer who returns on Monday was sympathetic to her, I have decided to wait to call on this UNTIL she returns.

I think it is smart to wait, do surveillance, maybe get a picture of the grandmother with a dog. We need people with the MPD to be on our side not against us.
We have waited 8 weeks, what is another 5 days, to me it just gives more time to get prepared, and make decisions about the course of events to take, like who will be doing the surveillance, taking pictures, talking to people, and checking on the posters.
Galatea is there any way to talk to the Dad and his son about the picture of Zeke that was shown to him, and he replied that is Tahoe? I know their house was raided, but it would be nice to talk to the dad about the picture that the child thought was Tahoe, and ask him if it is possible to see the dog that the child thought looked like Tahoe? I know the Grandmother has several dogs and could bring anyone out. But I would hate to lose what the child ID'ed as ZEKE. I know he is only 8 years old but maybe his father that is now in a little trouble might be able to help. Although I don't know why he would want to help us, if the dog really was ZEKE, and 1,000.00 did not get his interest, it leads me to believe there is a possibility that ZEKE is no longer in the possession of the Grandmother.
Do you have any suggestions on what to do with 8 yr old who made the ID as Tahoe?, when he was shown a poster of ZEKE, and he is the whole reason we are at the grandmothers in the first place. I think it is important because all yorkies look very different, unless they all have the same hair do.
Maybe that would be enough for Animal Control to want to see all the dogs as one was ID'ed by the Grandson as Tahoe, and ask the Grandmother if it is possible to see Tahoe first, or ask the Grandmother if she has a dog named Tahoe, and would it be possible to see him. I don't know if that would work that is why I am asking you. As Animal Control will be there Mon. and I don't want Tahoe also identified as ZEKE, by the grandchild to be put on the back burner. He could be living in her house, I would imagine all the mothers and their babies are in the Garage, and the rest of the dogs are outside or in the house. Who knows? I would just like to make sure Tahoe is not overlooked in the dogs that could be possibly micro chipped. Hopefully Tahoe is still on the property.
