an update
 

Tonight I was so filled with joy about Maddie finding her way home after nearly 3 1/2 mths, that I wanted to share with Connie that there is always hope. So I printed off a few of the pages about how Maddie came home & the 1st page of the thread about how she went missing out of a fenced yard - because this is what happened to Samie too.

I took the pages over to Connie, & she had some news to share with me. Samie has been seen - so as of this afternoon she is still alive. Francis53, I don't know where your daughter lives in Urbandale -- but I wanted to tell you & get the word out to anyone else in the area, Samie was last spotted north of Meredith Ave. around 72nd St.

There is a big church over there, a lot of trees, & the newer ice arena. But also lots of woods & trails - she's back in there somewhere. But anytime someone sees Samie - Samie takes off running. Connie even caught sight of her, but there were so many kids trying to help her find Samie, the dog apparently got spooked by everyone else.

Please pray she is able to get Samie, before something happens to her. There are so many wild animals back there. It even scares me in my yard at night when I have seen opossums & raccoons. Connie is considering trying to set a trap - but she may catch some other critter instead.

Does anyone know if they make cages/traps that could safely catch a dog, without hurting the dog?

Prayers please & thank you.

Something I thought of.....Maybe Connie can go to the area where she was spotted and take Taylor on a long leash and be calling out for Samie. Maybe Samie will spot / smell Taylor and come out of hiding! Just a thought.:confused:

I am praying. :animal-pa

Good idea about the long leash -- I'll mention this. She has taken Taylor, but without any luck. Connie was up much of the night driving around looking for her, so she was pretty exhausted. But I'm going to believe she will find Samie tomorrow. The poor little thing has got to be hungry & maybe thirsty. There has to be a stream back in there & it did rain yesterday, so maybe she found some standing water.

Great News!!!
 

Yorkiesmiles just called me (she's out of town and Bubba & Roxie are staying with us!) and told me that Samie is back with her owner, Connie!

Samie had been wandering around in a wooded area near her home, which was across a busy 4 lane street! Somehow, she managed to find her way home to her mommy! Connie was out in the yard, and spotted Samie. She said that Samie looked scared and disoriented, but when Connie stayed still, Samie came right up to her, and Connie brought her home! I'm sure Connie was really relieved to see her little Samie again! Welcome home, Samie!!!

It's a great week for happy endings to missing yorkies, I guess! I love it! :excited:

Yay! Another happy ended :)

What an awesome weekend. Glad Samie is home. Get her into the vet to do a once over..

Oh, thanks be to GOD!:hands: Thank you for the update, it's so nice to have yet another happy ending:D!!!!!!!

Just now seeing this... I am so happy they had a great outcome and Samie is home... Thank the lord.
