dog loss
| Thu, 03-27-2003 - 5:04am |
I lost my dog yesterday morning. I can't stop crying and I have to go to work. I can't stop crying. He was just a baby, only 8 mos old. He broke loose and ran after another dog, he was dragging a 20 ft chain with him. I can't find him. I searched for 12 hours, searched and searched and searched -- not even a yelp, nothing. I'm so afraid, I'm freaking out that he's caught in the woods and I can't hear him. I live near a lake and he might have fallen through the ice. His name is Siku. He's a samoyed/husky mix. He's all white. He's my best friend. I can't stand not having him here with me. I don't know what to do. I have an awful gut feeling that he's dead. I went and got the other dog that lured him away and tried to get her to show me where he is, but she was clueless. He's just a loveable playful overgrown baby. I can't function or cope with this. I can't stand him not being here. My boss won't understand if I take another day, but if I go to work all I'll do is cry. I got so attached, I can't believe how much I love that dog.

Don't give up yet - if Siku has a long chain on him, he is bound to be relatively easier to find than most lost animals I would think? Put up fliers and signs - definitely...ads in the paper. Check the shelters...please don't give up!
Hang in there and thing positive! I will be praying for the safe return/rescue of you furbaby Siku!!

Since he was dragging his chain, he very well could be caught up somewhere...maybe you could get a couple of friends to help you cover more territory in searching for him. Of course, since he sounds like a beautiful dog and is young, someone may have found him and took him in...I've heard it helps to put "Reward" on lost flyers, that people are more inclined to return animals. Even if it's just a little amount, it's something.
Wishing you much luck in your search, let us know if you find him.

Definitely call all local shelters to report him lost, post flyers with a picture and reward...amybe talk to the postal carriers....anything that you can think of to get the word out!!! And don't stop looking....(((Siku))) may very well find his way home on his own - dogs sometimes just "know" how to find their way home.....but keep actively looking. And I agree - if you need to take time off of work, then by all means do so....(((Siku))) is your family...until you have some closure you will not be able to concentrate on work.
Oh (((Siku's))) mom, I am sending positive vibes your way - your heart must just be in shock right now...I am praying for his safe return to his loving and heartbroken mom.....keep believing...hopefully he is just having a good puppy adventure with no idea of the fear that his mom is in right now...(((hugs))).
Come home (((Siku)))......your mom needs you....

Thank you SO MUCH for your prayers and support! This has really hit home for me. I got a "taste" of what it's like to lose a beloved pet and it has HIT HOME. I hope that I can be a help and support to others. It's a loss like no other!

I am sure he is getting lots of love and affection and is so very happy to be home. What a smart boy to find his way home! Please give him extra hugs from all of us here.
Hugs,

You hug your precious pup for me.....if you can squeeze an extra one in! I know you'll be holding him very close after the fear and pain you've gone through.

I feel bad (guilty) that I'm posting such happiness on a bereavement board -- I feel horrible and awful for what others go through when they lose their best buddy. I knew that I was really attached but I didn't realize how DEEP the attachment is until this happened. I can only say that losing a pet is NO light matter -- a pet is a true member of the family, a close best friend, a kind of bond that one can't share with another human. I used to be one of those that thought you should get another pet to help through the grief of losing one -- I will never give that advice again! They can't be replaced. Healing has to happen and it takes time -- a long time.
I just want to say again, thank you all so much for your support, encouragement and JOY! You're a real blessing to people out there who have lost a buddy!!
