The Cauldron: A Pagan Forum

My dog Trini ran off. She has never ran off before. It was before 12:00. We're so worried about her and we don't know if she is alive or dead. Please pray for us that we find her.

Good thoughts Anu,Hoping you find her quickly...hugs and such.

 
Thank you for the prayers Anu. We finally got her back. Thank goodness! She is fine, but we don't know why she ran off for so long. We're going to put her on a leash from now on.

I just saw this on Diaspora a few days ago! It's instructions for how to find your dog if they run off or get lost. It should open as an image within the browser window.

Link works for me prior to posting and it allows for maximization of the image to actually ready the text. IF for whatever reason it doesn't work or what have you then I'll go ahead and type out the instructions. I just wanted to get this posted quickly for now to maximize the OPs chances of finding her dog.

In case the link doesn't work or anyone is skeptical about the link here's the pertinent portion of the text copied verbatim from the image:

"The dog owner(s) should take an article of clothing that has been worn at least all day, the longer the better, so that the dog can pick up the scent. Bring the article of clothing to the location where the dog was last seen and leave it there. Also, if the dog has a crate & familiar toy, you can bring those too (unless location undesirable for crate). You might also want to leave a note requesting item(s) not be moved.

Leave a bowl of water there too, as the dog probably hasn’t had access to any. Do not bring food as this could attract other animals that the dog might avoid. Come back the next day, or check intermittently if possible. Hopefully the dog will be waiting there."
 
I hope all of this helps!
