4 Weeks Today Options

[Eagle'sMom]

This is my first post here...I'm glad I found this website...

My dog Eagle ran away...

My room mates were watching him while I went on a retreat and he ran off...

For 2 weeks I didn't know where he was...

Fliers were out, the shelters were called, ads in the newspaper, the vet was called...

Then 2 weeks ago I saw him in the woods behind our townhouse...

I ran up to him which was a mistake...I should have walked slowly towards him because he ran into the woods...

I don't know if he realized it was me or not...

I regret so much running up to him but I was so excited to see him...

So friends and family helped to look for him that day in the woods but didn't find him...

That was 2 weeks ago...

I've been putting out food in the last place I saw him but I don't know if he's the one getting it or not...

The past few days I've been seeing tiny paw prints that are not Eagle's...

Every morning I go to the site hoping to see his paw prints but I don't and then I feel down...

Every evening we bring food hoping he will get it...

A part of me is missing...

I've had him only 3 years...

He's a rescuded dog from a home where a woman had 119 dogs and a bunch of horses...

Eagle is very timid and doesn't like other people nor does he like other dogs...

My heart is breaking more and more each day...

I know God is in control and knows exactly where Eagle is...my prayer is that God will let me have him once again...

Thank you for reading this...

Paris - Thank you for the link...it is informative...

I wish I would have thought to look on the internet right after he went missing and maybe I wouldn't have made the mistake of running to him and calling his name when I first saw him after 2 weeks...

I can't "what if" myself though...that would drive me crazy...

Barb - Sorry you lost your original post...that has happened to me before...

Actually, the construction company owner knows I'm missing Eagle...he even saw him running across the dirt road a week or so ago...I never thought to give him a flyer but I'm going to!

Thanks for the idea to run the raccoons off...I'm going to try that tonight!

One thing I do do is call him gently and let him know "it's time for dinner"...

I never thought about binoculars...I may have to see about getting some...

Barb, I do trust in God...He is the one getting me through this...

Thank you both for your help...
