Hi God ~

We Pray again that You will cradle Delta in Your Loving Arms tonight
to keep him warm and safe ...

and return him to Tamara and Stuart if It Be Thry Will.

Please Comfort Tamara and Stuart in this time of worry and give them rest tonight;
then please Guide Their Steps tomorrow as they renew their search for Dear Delta.

Please God, bring Delta Home - all safe and sound.

Thanks, God!

Amen

/s/ the Prayer Pups

Saw the thread back at the top of the page and was hoping to see some good news. I've been thinking about you, Stuart and Delta all day. I really hope you're able to find Delta and that he is alright, poor boy

I am really sorry you're having to go through this, I can't even begin to imagine how upset you guys must be. (((hugs)))

Crap! I was so hoping he'd be back by now too!! Argh... I know how it feels, when one of the pack is missing, it's just not the same!!

Have you tried taking the team out in the area? I had one of my guys, Rupert, get loose not long after I got him from another musher and he was gone for 3-4 days or so. No sign of him, nothing. I also suspected he came by during the night, but got scared off (by the bratty females who picked on him). I was really thinking he'd never come back, but sure enough - my neighbors took out their team one day and came back with a Rupert! He came bounding out of the bushes when he saw them and ran alongside them for a while. They knew I was missing a dog, so they put him in the team and he happily ran home with them.

Oh, also - those bushes were right behind my cabin!!!!!

So - he was super close the whole time and just wouldn't come near. Didn't matter how much I called and wandered around. And he wasn't even *that* shy, so I can imagine what Delta feels like. They can travel far quickly, but instinct keeps them close to "their pack" I think.

Good luck - if you need extra bodies going out looking, let me know for sure.

Hey Mountain Chick ~

Dunno if Tamara or Stuart will "ask" for extra help ...

But showing up and just offering to help search
would sure be a neighborly thing to do!

Some of us would be there in a heartbeat ...
but Ohio to the Yukon may take a day or two.

If you're close enough to help ... we'll ALL say THANKS!!
