I have bad news to report. 6 of the dogs escaped yesterday and we got 5 of them back, although it took me 2 hours to find Tigger and he was about a mile from home. The bad news is that Vonney is still gone. :( I am just heartbroken. All I have done is cry. Please say your prayers that we find him, healthy. I absolutely hate this. I feel so helpless. Mike is going to the shelter as we speak. I have called the newspaper. I have called the vets in the area. I have made reward posters. I have called the SPCA. We drove around for hours yesterday. The kid that lives behind us helped look for him too.

I am really sorry :( I have had scares where I thought my cat was gone (she wasn't but I still know how you feel). Its awful to not know where they are or what they could be going through. My prayers are with you that you will find him as soon as possible. Maybe he's safely waiting at the shelter for you guys to come pick him up.

I am so sorry, I am praying real hard that Vonny will be home
safe.

I remember when our Penny got out, and that was
the 2nd time I ever saw my husband shed tears.
Lucky a woman found her at a supermarket.
(she followed some school kids)
A woman who spoke no English, picked her up
and had her husband called us that night. So
our story had a very happy ending, and
I pray you will have a happy ending too.

Thanks guys. Please keep the prayers coming. Mike and I drove around (separately) for 2 hours tonight too. No luck. He wasn't at the shelter. We handed out quite a few flyers today too.
Yes, he did have tags on, we'll see. I just can't stop crying. I hate this I hate this I hate this.

Pam
04-21-2003, 09:34 PM
Mugsy I'm so sorry to read this. I hope that someone will find Vonnie and return him to you. There are some nice people out there and I am hoping he has linked up with one who would like nothing better than to be part of arranging a reunion for you all. Ripley got out about a month ago and, although he was never out of our sight, we had a hard time catching him and my heart was in my throat. I know you must be heartsick. (((hugs)))

delidog
04-21-2003, 09:47 PM
Does he have a chip????
try calling avid....to notify them just in case.....
How about the lost pet section on Petfinder??????
Have you tried the local news stations???
Posting there with a reward sometimes helps....Think of the amount of people they reach.....
Just some thoughts that have crossed my mind......

Have u tried the local Radio station?? I know back home I use to hear missing pets on the radio all the time. Most of the time it was the owner begging someone to call if they have any info... u don't have to give ur phone # over the radio, cause the radio station will give out theres to protect u & then call u asap if they hear something... its worth a shot

I'm so sorry, I hope Vonney finds his way back home healthy and safe!

if he has tags on, I'm sure you will get him back.
maybe you could include his pic on the posters? somehow I think a pic will get more peoples attention than just a poster alone...

Oh Molly and Mike!! I know how you feel!!! I am praying that Vonney is returned to you safely and quickly.

When we first got Shiloh, she escaped out the front door as my son opened it and for the minute or so that my son had to chase her down and tackle her, I almost passed out. You must be so very worried.

Vonney, sweetie, go home...go home..

I included a picture on the poster and then added in big red letters "REWARD" That usually helps too. Thanks for your prayers, we need it.

I can't believe I had missed this thread. I didn't know Vonnie was gone until I read about it in Christy's thread about Brian leaving for Iraq. I sure hope and pray that Vonnie is found soon.

Just the other day, Carl left the door open into the garage. It is just a screen door and the wind sometimes blows it open. Before I could do a thing, out went Snoopy and Jack was just behind him although I grabbed Jack before he got out. Since I was unaware of the door being open, they could have easily all got out and run off and it could have been awhile before we noticed. It can happen so easily adn sooo fast.

In fact, as I am writing this I remember a day last summer when I looked out back and remarked to Carl that the dog in our neighbor's fenced yard looked just like Oreo. And then I started to look for Oreo - and guess what that same screen door had blown open and out went Oreo. We have no idea how long she was gone! It was just a lucky think she wondered through an opening in the fence adn then didn't remember how to get back out.

Sending positive vibes your way that Vonney gets found soon.

Nothing quite so panicky as a lost dog. I was staying at my
Mom's house a few years ago and had put Maddie in the back
yard to potty and explore for a few, while I was busy in the
house. While blind though she may have been, she was able to
pry open the gate between my mom's yard and the neighbor's.
Then managed to find an opening under their fence out to the
front. I went out to check on her and she was gone. I was
running around like a maniac, yelling at my mom to head down
one end of the street, while I checked down the other.
My heart was about to pound out of my chest, I was so scared.
Well Mom found her about 10 houses down, just toodling down
the sidewalk, sniffing here and sniffing there, not a care in the
world. I was never so happy to see one dog in my whole life.

Praying for a happy ending for you too.

mugsy
04-24-2003, 08:43 PM
Well, here's the story in a nutshell.

Mike went to the shelter today to check and there he was. Mike yelled and the girl that walked him through jumped back about 3 cages (according to Mike who likes to exaggerate! lol ;) ). Mike came to school (since I had the checkbook) to tell me, and I, of course cried...Thank God school was out! lol. He came into the shelter with no collar...little snot ditched it somehow. We went to pick him up and was told that he had come in at 5:30 last night (they close at 5) and had been picked up at a local vet hospital. Now, understand that I had taken the flyer WITH HIS PICTURE on it to that very hospital on Tuesday and they didn't bother to check their board or we could have had him last night. It cost us $27 to get him, but they chipped him for us and we had to pay $2 to replace his city tag. I didn't care, I would have paid whatever was necessary to get him back. He is healthy and doesn't seem to be any worse for wear other than being a little tired and snippy with some of the dogs...I have a feeling he may have had a couple of run ins. He's covered in burrs that will take a LONG time to get out, but it will happen! hehe

Welcome back Vonnie!!! You must be very happy to be back home, but not as happy as your mom, dad and siblings are to have you with them again.

thanks guys!! I woke up this morning late and could NOT get started. I talked to Mike and he and I both figured that it had been 5 days since I had relaxed and now I'm paying for it. I am just so happy to have him home. My dad even cried that we got him back.

Kim I thought of you immediately when he left and when we got him back because I know he's your favorite.

I just opened up this thread today, and after I read the first page I skipped to the last, hoping to find good news! Glad Vonney made it home.

I watched this site for the first couple days, and couldn't handle it anymore. So glad to hear the wonderful news that Vonnie is home and safe.

I am so glad that Vonney is back home safe and sound where he belongs. Try vegetable oil for the burrs. That's what we used on my horse when we first got him. We thought we would have to shave his mane because he had so many in it but they all came out with veg. oil and a lot of patience.

You guys are the greatest!! Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts. Vonney is pretty much back to normal....yep...he's back to rolling on his side when I walk by expecting a belly rub!! hehhe

Now, understand that I had taken the flyer WITH HIS PICTURE on it to that very hospital on Tuesday and they didn't bother to check their board or we could have had him last night.

when you found out about that, what did you do?
I swear, I would have ... for lack of a better word, can't think right now!... I would have ripped into them! whats the hecks wrong with them, they can't take 2 blankety blank minutes to check!? I hope you told them off, but I'm sure you had other things on your mind, like getting your sweet Vonney back.:)

Im so glad this ended well, I didnt want to say earlier, I lost a dog when I was a teen, and never got him back.:(


Vonney, be a good boy and stay home, no more running out!

mike and molly, i cannot tell you how happy i am to read that vonny is home. alex disappeared, once for an hour, and i will NEVER forget that feeling of fear when i couldn't find my furbaby.
vegetable oil does work well for burr removal.

Thanks guys!! I tried to call the guy who turned him into the vet, but no one was home. He was found quite a ways from home....at least 3 or 4 miles.

Mary, I didn't feel TOO badly since the picture wasn't the best and I said that he had a purple collar with tags and he didn't have that on. They were REALLY apologetic too.

Vonney still isn't eating much, but he's eating more each day and he could stand to lose a couple of pounds anyway. He has never been very needy, but he's been quite a bit more cuddly than usual since he got home.

:D WELCOME HOME SWEET VONNEY!!! :D
I'm so glad this all worked out for the best.

What is your guess as to his mix? From your siggy I see maybe chow/collie or something? He's such a cutie!!!!

Mugsy, can you give us a bigger picture of Vonnie, so we can all kiss him on the nose?

mugsy

Vonney is, at our best guess, either Chow/Husky or Chow/Aussie mix. He is soooooo pretty. People have taken triple takes with him and have actually had the nerve to ask if we wanted to sell him.

Ha!:) :) I am confused. How do you spell his name?

The picture says Vonnie - but it is also spelled Vonney!

I usually try to get it right the first time - but didn't quite make it this time!

mugsy
04-27-2003, 05:25 PM
That's because Mike doesn't know how to spell! hehehe:p I have told him a million times about the spelling of some of their names, but he won't listen to me! hehehe

I have always spelled Vonney that way because that's how it was spelled on his paperwork from the shelter.

That sounds like my husband. One day when my little girl was three she had asked my husband to spell her full name for her. Well, he spelled her middle name wrong. :eek: Her middle name is Leslie(after my dad)-Fay (my mom's middle name). He kept putting an e at the end of Fay.
