SIGHTING!!!!!

At last a sighting! I know it's only been 5 days, but it feels like so much longer. The tracker, Sam and her wonderful dog, Salsa, were out on the course today with Gus' mom. For about 3 hours they went around the course and Salsa did end up picking up Gus' scent near the back of the course in the corner. They also found some more poop (kinda runny- poor guy). Then a golfer had mentioned seeing a small, brown foxy looking dog not too far from where Sam wanted to set up a feeding station! So he's stayed pretty much where we all thought he would. A trap is being set up and food has been put out. Some of his mom's stinky clothes (exercise) have been left out as well. I have a good feeling about this! :)

I had to laugh when I called the golf course to ask for permission to have the tracker on site. They said to dress appropriately.... But in all honesty, they have been very gracious and really do feel for our situation.

I will check the trap tomorrow after work. So more to come.......

  2. Right now we are just spreading the word about Gus, but it looks like he is staying on the golf course right now. But we really need to stress to the surrounding neighborhoods that he is there, especially to those that back up to the course. We also have to be very sensitive of the golf course. Make sure signs are still posted and that the 4 up cards are being passed out. Thanks so much to everyone right now! :)
