Absolutely heartsick

[Tink]

Thanks ladies

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.

Thanks to my wonderful husband, Moses just got home. He's filthy and hungry but seems fine. THANK GOD!

Greg was out looking for him this morning on foot and thought he could hear him barking but couldn't see him. He decided to do a bit of tresspassing on our NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS lot and found Moses down in a pit right behind their house. He was about 7 feet down in a hole where their well is UNCOVERED. There's a ladder standing in the hole so Greg climbed down and carried him out.

The neighbor across the road said he noticed the neighbors kids over there yesterday looking down into the hole so they KNEW he was in there and had said nothing to us.

We've had nothing but trouble from that family. as you all know! Greg said right away he'd bet they were involved, but I didn't want to believe it. I just have troouble imagining anyone can be that evil! I wish they'd all just rot and fall apart right now.

SO thank you all for your prayers... they worked and Moses is home safe leaning against me looking like a dirt ball as I type.

That's great Tink, I'm so glad he's home safe and sound. What 's wrong with those dimwitted people anyway??? Poor Moses, I bet he's so happy to be home.

[Mandy]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY that IS great news!!! Tink, i am so happy Moses is home safe, and sound!! Thank goodness your husband went out, and heard him bark, poor baby must have been a nervous wreck.

BTW: what a couple of nitwitts have you got living next to you, good grief... how can people get it across their heart to pull something that evil?! That is plain disgusting!

I am so glad Moses is home safe!! What if that had been a child fall in that hole. Those people still wouldn't care. It may take Moses a while to feel safe again. It probably has been close to a year that Chipper was traumatized and he is just now getting completely comfortable. Just takes a lot of love which I know Moses will get plenty of. I guess Hubby deserves extra hugs today which I would bet he's already gotten.
