Where are you???

Wilson..

Where are you? Are you roaming? Who’s got you? Are you happy? Are you eating well? Are you having fun? I love you and I miss you and I want you home with me! Please help us find you.

It’s been over two months and we are not giving up until we find Wilson. He’s out there… we just need help spreading the word. The in-pouring of emails and phone calls has been phenomenal and I thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes! We worry that out in the country, internet access is not so readily available so distributing flyers and talking to as many people as possible is the key as well.

Where can he be? I drive from Richmond to Goochland, Oilville, Sandy Hook, Hadensville, and surrounding areas almost every day and thank all my friends who venture the trek with me. We have gone out as early as 4am and have stayed as late as midnight in hopes to see him wondering before or after the heat of the day.

Where is he?!

I really miss Wilson sitting on the front porch with me as I have my early morning coffee or my evening chats with friends. I miss his prancing along side me for our walks thru the Fan – my walking him and his walking his stuffed chi-chi. I miss going to the river and watching him fetch GIANT sticks – retrieving them from the end so it looks like he’s smoking a giant cigar. I miss watching him watch the “squirrel fest” in my back yard. I miss his “high five.” I miss having to wake him up in the mornings for our early walks. I miss buying giant bags of the healthiest holistic dog food I can find because he has skin allergies. I miss watching him run up ahead when we hike, only to turn around and wait as if to say “come on mom.. hurry up!” I miss brushing him. I miss his loud groans when he is content lying on his bed. I miss camping with him..and although he is so big, he never hogs the tent. I miss taking him on offroad trips in “his” D90. I miss his big goofy face looking up at me waiting for the next fun adventure. I miss reminding him to use his “inside feet” as he walks thru the house. I miss his sitting on my lap. Yep, his favorite spot – I think he must think he’s quite a bit smaller than he actually is!

Please.. I just want him back.

Thank you all for your words of support and encouragement! Wilson has so many people wishing/praying/hoping for his safe return home.

I went out for a walk
It was so lovely in the sun.
Chasing the leaves, I was having so much fun.
Jumping and climbing I could have done it all day.
When I stopped to rest, I realized I had lost my way.
I love and miss you and want you to know , it was nothing you have done.
I just got carried away with playing in the sun.
Please try not to worry too much about me.
I can look after myself, and in a way I am free.
Although I'll never stop looking for a way home, we will never be apart.
I will always feel your love for me, deep within my heart.
It may be all we have for now, but it's enough for me.
Cause you'll never know when I'll walk through your door
and expect you to have my chichi.
love,
Wilson

Team Wilson!

A big Mahalo Thank You to Sharon, Krista, Drew, Jodi, Lee, Joan and Ann for spending the day Sunday in the search to bring Wilson home. Although we did not actually see him, there are several promising sightings reported in the Hadensville and upper Cedar Plains / Forest Grove areas as recent as this morning.

Over 1000 fliers and posters were distributed to Goochland and Hadensville area residents. We learned that it is not uncommon for dogs to be running and neighbors to be feeding them. Awareness that Wilson is actually "missing" and not just a neighbor dog roaming is our goal at this point. We are hopeful that someone will see him, knowing he is missing and will hold onto him for us so that we can bring him home.

We thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement. Please feel free to post any sightings, suggestions or comments. I just really want him home.
thank you!!

P.S. On her search for wilson, Krista found a dog running and was able to catch it and bring it back to it's owner.
BIG THANKS TO TEAM WILSON!!
