Oh, dear God, no....missing

I have a feeling that Delta will return home in time.

I'm going to pray extra hard tonight for him, and send you both more vibes.

Come home, Delta! Please.

This last sighting sounds promising, he's getting closer!
Still praying he's home safe and sound soon. That encounter with the wolf sounded scarey, I don't know what I'd do if I ever confronted one in the wild like that

, good thing you have a little experience with that sort of thing. Are you still taking the team out or is all your snow gone now? Maybe he'll spot you on a trail somewhere & tag along.

I threw a metal food dish at her and screamed. It's always a good idea to tick a predator off!

(then I sat on the couch and shook for an hour!) But it seems to have worked--she hasn't been back. I told my Mom about this tonight and she's refusing to tell my Dad. She says he'll have a stroke!

99.9% of the time a wolf in the wild will ignore you completely. They don't hunt humans and generally you won't even know they are there. I've seen them a few times actually in the bush! They've never bothered me or the dog team.

We have snow left. Conditions are as good as they've been all winter. I've been running the dog team lots and going as close to where Delta has been seen as possible.

If he's at someone's home and they've actually managed to catch him, they have decided to steal him.

I expect you've already thought of this but just in case.....have you let all the vets in the area know about Delta? If someone else has got him and takes him for a check up, treatment or whatever his chip could be checked

Checking in Monday morning. Glad to hear he's been sighted closer. Hopefully he comes home this week. Still praying for his return to home. Come on Delta, fingers are starting to cramp from being crossed for so long.

Still praying for you and Delta's safe return home.

**Corinna** · 03-06-2006, 09:28 AM

I was sure by nowDelta would be home. I am constantly reminding him where home is (telepathy) I hope he is just taking the long way to avoid the wolves. Prayers for you and Stuart.

There are only two clinics here. They both have his picture. I think my vet would recognize him right away. I never go to the other clinic, but I took them a poster.

Still praying for Delta´s return over here!

I SAW HIM!!!!!!!

I had a tour booked this morning with the dog team. I let Mac come with us and he just ran loose. As we came by the end of the lake, I saw Mac playing and chasing a black dog with a white tail tip. I am freakin' certain it was Delta. The dog took off into the trees at the end of the lake. I couldn't follow with the team. If I could have, my customer would have gone a different route than I normally take tours on! I am heading there now with the skidoo. I'll park it on the ice and hike around so the noise doesn't scare him. I have to pick Stuart up at the airport this afternoon and then he can come help too. He's a far better tracker than I am. I can't believe that I saw him!!!!

**dog_pug123** · 03-06-2006, 03:03 PM

Thats awesome! DELTA COME BACK!

**Ginger's Mom** · 03-06-2006, 03:30 PM

Oh YAY!!! Delta stay there baby, Glacier is coming to get you. Good job Mac.

Gosh my eyes teared up when I read this. I hope you are able to get him Glacier. {{{Big Hugs}}}

Thats 1 thing Canada needs to make Mandatory! Chip Checking, ALL dogs, while they sit in the office waiting to see the vet.
