Do you have Ring? We have it on our trailer and we constantly get notifications about lost and found pets.
Nextdoor is also good for lost pets in the neighborhood.
These may be useful because some younger people don’t use conventional sources. They rely on Ring, Nextdoor, etc. to find out what is happening in their community.
Prayers for your pup.
Great point about Ring and Nextdoor.
We get notices about lost pets, on BOTH, on a regular basis.
🙏🏻 your pup is found, SOON, LL.
After I made my last post this morning, I put my rain boots and heavy clothing on and went trooping through the swampy forest behind my house. There used to be 200 acres back there, but with all the liberals leaving Toronto to contaminate my town, they’ve built several subdivisions and knocked down a lot of the forest, and there are only 3-4 acres left. I did a careful grid search and found my baby after a couple of hours, disemboweled. I dropped to my knees and cried hard for at least 1/2 hour. When I got too cold and wet to stay there any longer, I picked her up and brought her home.
I think when I opened the door after being stuck in Buffalo for 5 hours, there must have been that coyote that we’ve seen every few months lurking near the house. The way Nala took off between my legs the second I opened the door was highly unusual. I ran after her but she was too far ahead of me to catch her and she just wouldn’t listen. I saw her run towards the forest and I made the mistake of going back home for a flashlight. I got back to where she ran in 3-4 minutes later and went into the woods. I kept calling and listening, but I didn’t hear anything. No cry, no bark, no whine, no panting. No sound at all. I think she may have already been killed by the time I got back there with my flashlight.
I can’t stop crying. My eyes are burning and I have the first headache I’ve had in over 20 years. I’m probably dehydrated but I can’t swallow anything past the lump in my throat. I loved that dog like none I’ve ever had before (please forgive me sweet Zeus and the late Jewel, Maverick, Hollywood, Idgy, Gizmo and Happy). I have to travel to Atlanta tomorrow to play in the Bridge National Championships and I can barely see my keyboard. The toys she squeaked in the middle of the night to wake me up are everywhere and I want vengeance on that coyote. I’m not too happy with Kurt and Monica Villani right now either, but they’re already dead. I’m just a broken-hearted hot mess.
