First of all, i want to THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my heart for your support. I know Wilson would lick your faces, or well...sit on you (his weird way of showing his affection) if he knew how loved he was.
Wilson is an amazing boy. He's been my best friend for the past 4 years and is so terribly missed. He was about a year and a half old when he chose me to take care of him. i taught him how to swim (i know, weird for a lab not to know how to swim) and i taught him manners. He is a true gentleman and knows the rules of good behavior. All he wanted was to make sure i was happy and he stood by my side, hung out in Fan coffee shops with me, went shopping in carytown with me, and ventured on hikes and off road camping trips with me. If i could rewind the time i would give anything to have him with me safe in Richmond.
I feel very good about finding him. With the positive energy each of you bring to my life, i feel Wilson WILL be found.
That said, at the encouragement of Ann and Sharon, we are pulling together forces to hit the Goochland area HARD. I have been numerous times (thank you Drew) and have hit most areas piece by piece in hopes of someone leading me to him. I have had dreams of my finding him prancing toward me as if nothing was ever wrong.
There have recently been a couple sightings in the Haydensville area as well as the Dogtown Rd area... Could it be???
So.... I would love your support in gathering forces and finding him this Sunday August 3. We are planning to meet at 9:15 at the Panera Bread on Broad Street (11703 W Broad) and I would like to treat everyone to their Sunday morning cup of coffee before we head out by 9:30.
Wilson was staying with friends at 3330 Cedar Plains Road in Sandy Hook. He went missing on June 7th. Just shy of 2 months ago.
There are 5 main areas to search..
1. Haydensville - (thank you Terry and Joan for your information about the recent sighting at Sheldon Ridge)
2. Millforest 2, Sandyhook - apparently, Wilson had been scouting around there from time to time while staying at the Dearden's.
3. Dogtown Road - from Whitehall to Hwy 6
4. Goochland - route 522 from Sandy Hook into Goochland
5. Cedar Plains Rd from White hall to the very end - the road that Wilson lived on for approx 5 weeks before he went missing
I will have maps and supplies ready..
If you would like to invite additional friends, please feel free to. let me know so that i can have additional "search packets" ready...and again THANK YOU!!!!!
big hug,
Christina
