Things Rocky Could Use

Some of these involve time. Some involve donations. But here is a list of things needed to execute the Bring Rocky Home plan as crisply as possible:

1. He needs folks to monitor feeing stations at least 2x a day.

2. He needs someone to check on the cameras at least 2x times a day and swap out the memory cards at least 1x time per day.

3. He needs one additional feeding station location, close to where a sightings have been (this has to be on private property).

4. He needs access to traps (I think a few people have volunteered traps - please email me)

5. He needs two additional outdoor dog houses and insallation for them

6. He needs additional outdoor heated water bowls (there is one in Tenleytown that could be used if someone can pick it up)

If you are willing to help with any of these, please contact me via email. If you can think of anything else that he could use, feel free to offer it.

Also, please get out and continue to spread the word about Rocky in the areas near where he has been sighted. Make sure you iterate to people that he is skittish so the most important thing is to not scare him off and to call me as soon as possible. The business cards work great for this since they wouldn't have to run and go find my number somewhere (although the flyers do appear to be everywhere).

The pet tracker suggested another option that I think might work: if you have a sterno and a can of beef stew, you can set the beef stew to cook and let the smell permeate the area and watch silently and quietly from the warmth car. If he's nearby, he would likely come check something like that out (I would place it somewhere off the beaten path a little of course - and please don't start any forest or house fires!). You are all doing an amazing job for my Rocky. Keep it up and he'll be home soon.
