digits mama · 07-29-2007, 05:23 PM

thanks yall.. I am desperatly hoping that it worked. Had plenty of calls today from concerned people wondering if I have any good news. Sadly, not yet. but staying positive!!!!

This morning. I went out and screamed at the top of my lungs for Digit. Sometimes I think this has knocked a few of my screws loose. I knew I was loosing my mind..but i think i am loosing it faster

hang in there. Any time you need to scream out loud again, let me know. I'll scream with you.

It's been awhile since I checked in. I keep looking for another post... Digit is home! The fact that there have been sightings is Super. The car wash was a great idea. You amaze me. You are a wonderful inspiration. Never give up hope. I will continue to pray. Hopefully he will wander in for his birthday looking for cake and balloons.

digits mama · 08-01-2007, 07:21 PM

Well, Lately I have had calls asking if I have found him yet. No sightings or anything. No leads. Tommorrow is his 16th birthday. Yesterday Son and i celebrated his homecoming birthday. son wasnt much into celebrating it. He just asked for his dog back. It totally breaks my heart. If only I had a magic wand. Or a time capsule. Oh the things I would change. If I had a genie in a bottle.. the one wish Id wish for. Sometimes I think i am dying inside wondering who has him and do they know what he needs, His grooming schedule and his diet. his arthritis meds and his eye drops. Is he getting to lop his head on thier knee and is he wagging his tail. And All it would have took is for me to put that old coller back on. It sits here next to my computer. Oh i say I am going to be more vigilant next time but I really feel I may never get that chance with him again...going out to scream now..

I am screaming for you!!!

Digit is officially 16 years old now. I have still been driving and visiting the shelters. Walking the roads. Calling people I have met along the way. I still have people keeping thier eyes peeled for me. I am still not giving up. Even though at some points I try to talk myself into letting it rest. That works for about 5 minutes. Then I am back into the fever of finding him. Dont get me wrong..I will have Digit live inside of me for the rest of my life. To me he will never pass over the rainbow bridge. because he isnt here to go. To me he will always be searching for me, so i will always be looking for him.

My son is going back to college next week. I always have a hard time with him gone. Its gonna be tough this year. 2 of my kids are not gonna be here. whoa wiz me.

I want to thank everyone who has helped me on this journey. all of you gave me many many hopes for finding him. everytime I logged on. I had a new approach to finding him and It felt so nice. You guys were the only ones who really understood my fears and i really thank all of you from the bottom of my heart.

Oh my gosh... I will pray that you have found your dog. I would just go crazy if my dog ran away. My dog died from the pet food that got recalled. He died on the 9th of march and the recall was the 16th. Nobody was home and I was babysitting. I gave him a kiss on the nose told him i loved him and promised i would see him when I got home. But it was just to late...I still cry every night. So I'm going to pray until your dog digit comes home!

Did you ever try calling the local radio stations and asking them to post an ad.. or take out a whole page in the newspaper. its worth a shot!

i know its been a while but theres still hope!!

Dana1384 · 08-17-2007, 01:20 PM

Digits I looked around town at the lost dog flyers, and I didn't see any about another dogs except pits.. I'm sorry..

digits mama · 08-17-2007, 01:33 PM

Hi Dana...Thanks for looking..I have put Flyers at the mud bogs and at the walmart and some convience stores. I do run into alot of folks not leaving the posters up long enough. Having to replace some of them weekly. You are about 45 minutes away from me and I havent been frequenting those areas as much east of me. But I will go this evening and put some up. thanks bunches

rsculady · 08-30-2007, 04:10 PM

Any recent news? I pray for his safe return every night along with all my other pet prayers!

digits mama · 08-30-2007, 04:55 PM

no, I am still going out and replacing posters as they fade. Still visit the animal shelters everyday. I still remain vigilant that he will come home somehow. No new news. People havent forgot because I still get the folks askin if I found him yet sometimes. Thanks for your prayers for him. I just wish I had better news..or any news. This site has been an amazing tool in my search for him. Not only for the tricks to try to find him..But knowing that he is being thought of in prayers..It keeps my moral high.

Renoman · 08-30-2007, 06:54 PM

Hell, I'm still looking for him when I drive around and I'm several thousand miles east of you.

Daisyluv · 08-31-2007, 10:30 AM

I'm so sorry that you lost your Digits. I am hoping and praying that you will find him soon. I'm sure he is missing you as much as you are missing him.

digits mama · 09-26-2007, 10:12 AM

For the past few weeks I have been hearing a story I dont like so much. Someone told me they had heard that someone drove Digit off and dumped him out. Noone would tell me his name or where he lived and I finally found out yesterday. I went to this persons house before with questions but he denied any involvement. I am a pretty good judge of character and I felt he was lying the first 2 times I spoke with him.

Where Digit was last seen is a service road off of I10. That is where the craiglist person wrote to tell me that she seen him get hit and taken off in a van with 2 older ladies. At the foot of this road is a carpool parking area and thats where Digit was let off. I had the admission yesterday. He was reluctant to tell me for weeks. And told me he was sorry profusely, told me that he was wrong for what he did yadda yadda yadda. And he didnt know it was my dog...It took alot for me not to break his nose..But, there is nothing I can do.I can see someone letting digit go for a ride...he loved his rides.......

Still looking for him on all the pet sites...looking for him at the shelters....

I am praying for a happy ending to this story.

My heart goes out to you.

cvcraven · 09-26-2007, 10:51 AM

OH My!! I'm so sorry for you!!

keyslammer · 09-26-2007, 10:55 AM

I feel so bad for you, I really do...my heart is so heavy. I wish I was closer where I could help you go and look for your baby. Since you said he has a keen sense of smell, have you tried putting out clothes you've worn in little spaced out areas, so maybe he can smell his way back home? I'm new to having dogs and others on here might laugh at me for even suggesting this, but I saw it on television one time. The couple put out socks, T-shirts, etc. and food and PRESTO their little dog found his way back home. I know 10 acres is a lot of land and the thought of the poor baby being out there alone breaks my heart. I pray another rainstorm doesn't come along before he comes back home. All the best and I'm praying...believe that!

poohlp · 09-26-2007, 10:55 AM

OMG, I wouldn't have been able not to break his nose...I probably would have done worse.

It sounds like this person knows you and that this was your dog? That is horrible. Even if he didn't, why wouldn't he take a found, obviously lost dog to a shelter? It would have taken no more of his time. Stories like this are why I sometimes (usually) like dogs more than most people.

This has been such a long, painful time for you. I can't imagine. My dog disappeared for a week after getting hit by a car when he escaped from the house. I looked everywhere, walked for miles calling his name, posted signs, called vets and shelters, everything, with no luck. I was convinced he had crawled under a bush in some nearby woods and died.

Then one night, he just showed up at the door, narry a scratch on on him.

I only tell this story to give you hope that miracles do happen, even if not always the way you expect. Maybe, if two older ladies were seen picking him up, that means that he has someone taking care of him and giving him love and care. I know that doesn't make you feel better, but it at least gives some hope for poor little Digit. My thoughts are with you.
