We did a lot more postering in the Falls Church area and even a bit beyond towards McLean today. The word is definitely getting out as I did get some calls and emails from people with possible info about Rocky's whereabouts. We did have a new sighting come in from earlier in the week that we've added to the sightings map. You'll see this one is also pretty near the West Falls Church metro. I was around in that area quite a bit today, and there is a lot of secluded quiet spots for a dog to take shelter and hide, so it wouldn't surprise me if he's found some "safe" areas around there. I did have a good feeling about one particular spot in the area and left some scent and food for him out that I will check on tomorrow night.
It's with a heavy heart that I have to return to my day job in Herndon tomorrow without Rocky being home yet. For those who have offered to be available in case he is spotted in Falls Church during the week, I do appreciate it. I also am grateful for those people who have time to get out and search or poster during the week. Feel free to call or email with suggestions on areas as I will try and be available on them as much as possible this week. For people looking for things to do at work, the Top 10 things to do on a Rainy Day post is still a good place to check.
Anothing thing I noticed is that he was seen near a few different schools at this point. School grounds would be a good place for a dog to hang out in the evenings, since it would empty out - but I would imagine that someone would have to have seen him in the morning. I want to thank Mac Mirchandani for putting the below list together of area schools. If you have the time or inclination, you can call on these schools tomorrow and ask them if they've seen a stray, tell them Rocky's story, and then ask if they will distribute the poster at least to the teachers. I personally will take the 3 schools Rocky was seen near (marked with a ****). If you do decide to call on any of the below, please make sure you indicate so in the comments section so we don't have 20 people calling the school for the same reason.

I called George Mason this morning and got the number and email of the Falls Church City Public Schools Communication director. I dropped her an email and left her a voicemail telling Rocky's Story. That's probably a good place to start... will let you know what/when I hear back.
ReplyDeleteThe principal at Mount Daniel Elementary School posted Rocky's flyer at school. Many thanks for her support in the search for Rocky!
ReplyDeleteI've faxed the flyer to Jeb Stuart HS, Thomas Jefferson ES and Marshall HS. Each school said they would post the flyer and spread the word.
ReplyDeleteThe communications director was of no help - so please keep trying to contact each of these school's individually to make sure he is posted not only in the teachers lounge but somewhere within the school. If you succeed, please comment here. He's been seen near 5 schools at this point!!
