Hi all - first off, thanks to the 12 extraordinary people who were willing to lend their time today before the rain hit (and some even after!) to help plaster the area where Rocky was last found with his posters. People were so thorough that I felt like I couldn't drive past two telephone poles without seeing Rocky's poster (a sight which gives me a balanced feeling of happiness and sadness right now). I have hope today's efforts will lead to more sightings and his eventual return. Funny, I always thought that Rocky could be a celebrity dog what with all the amazing shenanigans he's pulled throughout the years. Never thought he'd get known this way - hopefully we'll get him home soon enough to enjoy the spoils. For those that still want to poster, I still have a lot left, so feel free to call me. There are still some neighborhoods nearby where Rocky was lost that still could probably use more posters. Other options would be to start from the point where he was lost and travel 1 mile in a direction and make sure the areas in between have enough posters up too to make sure we got a good radius. We did do our daily calls with all the shelters, police, and animal control to see if Rocky was brought in or found otherwise with no luck (good or bad in this case). So he's still out there.
I'm not sure if people think I am being unrealistic or overly optimistic by thinking my Rocky is still out there - I'm not exactly sure how to respond to this since I've been doing the due diligence to find out about any dogs (even deceased) picked up by animal control, DOT, or the police. As anyone who is reading this blog who knows Rocky can attest too - he is about as brilliant a dog as there is on the planet and even before this week if someone would have asked mewho would have a better chance surviving in the "wild of Falls Church" for one week, Rocky or me - I, personally, would have bet on my dog. I'm sure he would have bet on himself too. I know he's probably just being too clever for his own good right now and I hope eventually he realizes that the best way to help himself get home is to let someone else help him. And that's why we need the posters. Without them, I'll probably go the rest of my days leaving the house with Rocky's leash in one pocket and his favorite bone in the other.
Hopefully we will have a Google map with shadings of areas that need to be postered soon. Otherwise, I can give you an idea of where to go.
I probably won't have an organized effort tomorrow since the forecast is up in the air, but please, anyone willing to brave the elements even for 30 minutes, feel free to give me a call. Every little bit you spend in the elements helps get him out of them sooner.
