My Dog is Gone
Last week I was in Maryland Monday through Thursday. My friends watched my dog. I picked her up Thursday and dropped her back off there Saturday afternoon so I could work at Disney World Saturday and Sunday. I worked late and did not get home until 2:30 AM Sunday night. So I went to my full-time job yesterday and then after work went to my friends to pick up my dog (Yuli). A not so great photo of her is below.
I walked in the house and I asked my friends how they were doing. Not well they responded. Then they told me that Yuli was in the back yard with Michael and she was playing with their dog V when all of a sudden they took off through a breach in the fence into the neighbors yard. Michael went after them but they were gone. He looked everywhere and called for them and V came back but Yuli did not. So they had to tell me that my dog was gone.
This is shocking and odd. First of all my dog does not like to be outside unless she is with someone. My back yard is fenced and she won't play in the yard unless I'm with her. She goes out to do her business on her own but won't play alone. Then there is the fact that she is already 8 years old which is mid-life. She's never done anything like this and has never tried to run away. I never worry about such things. Then there is the fact that she's really afraid of her own shadow, so she's not the type to run off through the woods on her own.
Last night I went up and down their street and the street on either side of them calling out her name and searching. She does have a microchip the back of her neck. I checked via phone and in person after work at our county's Domestic Animal Services (DAS) and the Humane Society. She was not caught or turned in to either. She is now on file and I can check our county's website for hourly updates on stray dogs brought in or captured by DAS. Last night we printed fliers and put them at the ends of all 3 streets. Tonight I made 200 more fliers and Michael is going to tape them to the mailboxes along each street tomorrow morning.
I am just beside myself. I've done everything I possibly can. I've been over at my friends house late in the hopes that Yuli would come back. I just love her so much and I can't even think about this because it makes me want to cry...
