Absolutely heartsick

[Tink]

While I was asleep last night (3a.m.) my son came home from work. He saw Moses begin to lift his leg in the house, so got angry and forced him outside. What he didn't do is put him on his cable. Moses hasn't been seen since.

I've called all around, drove and walked the village, made Joel go look for him, my dd Katie has been out searching for him, and it's like he evaporated. This from a dog that hates to leave my side... that has severe separation anxiety when we're apart. A dog that hasn't wandered off at all before.

I simply do not know what to do. Please pray that he'll show up and be ok! I know you all understand what he means to me.

What makes this nearly unforgiveable for me is that a couple years ago I had a gorgeous border collie that I loved dearly and she died when Joel did the same thing with her! She got hit by a car right in front of our house and died instantly.
Wouldn't you think he might have learned by that?!?!

OMG Tink, i am so so so very sorry to read this My heart goes out to you, i know how much he means to you.
Maybe you can put up flyers everywhere, leave some at your vet, and at the local rescue. Also at the schools, kids like dogs, maybe someone found him, and took him home. There are still honest people out there, Tink. Dont give up!!
You, are in my prayers, and please keep us posted!

Keeping you and Moses in my prayers. I do hope you find him soon, my heart is just breaking for you. Remember to put up flyers right away and contact all Vets and shelters.

We live on the edge of a tiny village of "maybe" 100 people. I was born and raised here and Moses has been my constant companion for the past year. I take him with almost everywhere I go, so he and I are a fairly well known pair in the area.
My vets office sees only 3 standard poodles... Moses who is apricot, a black and a white, so they said if they get any calls about an apricot, they will call me. There are only 29,000 people in our entire county... so it's mostly little villages with miles of highway and backroads between. I"ve called the local humane society, and outlying vets offices and they've not heard anything. He's unique enough that they'd certainly have no trouble recognizing him if they do.

I'm hoping he smelled a female in season and went calling... I can't imagine anything else that would charm him into wandering off. Im just worried sick and praying hard.

I'm so sorry to hear that Moses is missing . I know that you're heartbroken over his disappearance. I would get a notice in the paper about him missing and offer a reward, oh, and I would put a picture with it. It will alert other people that he's missing and maybe whoever has him will be more likely to call about the reward. Good luck and I'll say a prayer for his safe and quick return.

I am so sorry Tink!!! Our Chipper runs out the door quite often but we have always caught him immediately. I can't imagine not knowing where he was all night. I am praying that he will be home soon safe and just happy to see you.

Yes, he might have gone after a female, i hope, and pray he is OK! Praying hard here with you, i hope someone sees him, and takes him into the vet, or shelter, or brings him home to you!

Tink, on YorkieTalk, some suggest saying that he needs medication. Seems like people are more willing to go the extra step for an animal if he/she's sick. You might try it.
