No sightings yet, but thanks to all who are helping!

*sigh* Nothing yet, but hope is still there. A wonderful volunteer called today telling me of her search outing. She graciously allowed herself to step out of her busy life for about two hours and post flyers and check the grounds as well as talk to some folks about our missing little guy. It sounds like her two hours were very productive. She managed to re post some signs that had gotten icky from the bad weather and she hit up some further locations in the surrounding neighborhoods. My favorite part was when she talked to all the kids getting off the school buses. They seemed excited to help look for a dog! Hopefully moms and dads will be excited to help out as well. She also went door to door talking to folks and leaving the cards behind if no one was home. Thanks so much, K! And a big thank you to everyone else who is out there doing all this stuff as well. The more folks who are aware of the situation, the more help we can get. My hat is off to each and every one of you who go out and search or spread the word.

On another note, it seems the golf course may be hitting a point of stress with us. They are very sensitive to our situation and understand the urgency of finding Gus. However, it is a private club with a very expensive membership. Random folks strolling about the course can be very distracting, especially when they are talking to golfers about a missing dog. We need to restrain ourselves with respect to the club and members. Please call before you head over there to find out if there is a less busy time to go for less distractions. The club has our flyers and our numbers though, so if they happen to come across anything we will know. The groundscrew is fabulous and have been keeping an eye out as well. In fact there is an employee who works by the guard shack house and he cruises the course with an adopted border collie. So Gus may have an in with the ground crew.

So please, please, respect the golf course. With the tracker coming, I know we will be an even bigger distraction. So if a lot of us could keep hitting the neighborhoods and keep the radius growing we should be good. Hopefully if Gus has not just hunkered down somewhere he may be enjoying one of those spacious backyards with a deck. :)

One last note. Our dear volunteer, K, just got word that her beloved pooch is sick with cancer. Please keep her and her critter in your thoughts. Thank you and have a good night.
