Hi all - yesterday I had numerous potential sightings of Rocky, several of which turned out to be 2 other dogs that had gotten loose last night (but are now safely at home). I did get one possible sighting of a dog that might have been Rocky seen on Sunday night (not last night) around 7 pm near the intersection of Arthur and Woodley (which is near West St. and Route 7). One of our volunteers, Sonia, went to that area and in her flyering and search efforts spoke with dog walkers who confirmed sightings of a dog on Sunday night in the area that may have been Rocky.
A couple things: this area is actually a little further out then Rocky has been seen in. However, being that we haven't had a definitive sighting of Rocky in several days, it is completely possible that he was pushed out of the area and it wouldn't be at all out of the realm of possibility for him to travel that distance - maybe a mile south from some of his sightings. We do not have that area postered heavily (I postered some of the intersections myself over a week ago but that and what Sonia did last night are the only posters in that area).
So taking all that into consideration, here are the steps I would like to take today:
1) If you have time to get out and poster/search/business card during the day, that would be a great area to start in.
2) There should be some traffic at the metros today cause of inauguration - it would be great for volunteers to be near the 2 metro stations handing out business cards to the foot traffic.
3) Organized canvass/search tonight starting in the area of the possible sighting on Sunday night and extending up towards his other sightings.
If you are able to help out with any or all of the above, please contact me at rockydab@yahoo.com or call 703-593-1040. I, unlike many folks, do have to work today - so you can also email Nancy at testerdesp@aol.com if you are able to volunteer, especially for tonight's search. I know Rocky is still out there but he needs your help to get home. I'm obviously borrowing a phrase from someone here, but today seems like an appropriate day to put it to use - let's bring Rocky home... YES WE CAN! Please help today....

I walked the Parker Ave (off West St.) area this afternoon and pinned up a few notecards as well as giving them out to passers-by. Most of the people I met *had* seen the posters we have up, so that's good.
