digits missing..hurts so bad

Renoman · 06-22-2007, 08:55 PM

You said a police officer found him? Wouldn't he have turned Digit into the animal control? He wouldn't have just let him go again right? Have you checked with the local police dept. to track down the officer that found Digit and talk to him personally?

At least you know he's still out there. With fresh trails would that guy from the k9 place come down now? You have a general idea where Digit is now so maybe you should talk to him again. You're so close...

JaneG · 06-23-2007, 05:53 AM

I honestly don't know what to say, reading through this thread I just want to cry...I really hope he comes home soon or you find him. My thoughts are with all of you.

makesthesignoftheZ · 06-23-2007, 07:22 AM

So close...so close! Hang in there!

Hey Yall!

Reno..Remember when Digit was found on someones porch and he camped out for 2 days..That was a police officers home. He tried to find Digits mama by taking him around in the truck. I wish they would bring digit into the humane society because they are looking for him too. But its not turning out that way. Its like the most recent sighting. THAT guy KNEW I have been looking for days but just rode right passed him and drove to the store where my son works to tell him. Instead of picking him up. Digit looks like a nasty dog right now I am assuming becaseu of his thick black coat. I guess some folks dont like to even touch dogs. Crazy but true.

Inga...thank you thank you thank you.....Your sincerity and prayers are beautiful.

Jane....

I will keep you updated

Z....

Yes! I definatly hope so...

Today was a long one. Woke up this morning at 3 am and went to the area where the Digit sightings have been. This morning It felt dreaded, I had lost hope while I was out there. Even though a new sighting day before yesterday was so promising. After lunch I got a call from the humane society in gulfport. Saying they believe they found digit. A black and tan medium size male dog...deaf and blind... Wow what a moment. Gulfport is in the next county, which i do live 10 miles east of the harrison county line so hey, I had hope..lady said he even looked like the picture on the poster..I mean I was stoked....Dog found in Orange Grove, Gulfport...That had me thinking someone MUSTVE dumped him there yada yada yada..... It wasnt him..poor Dog I seen did resemble Digit in alot of ways except it wasnt as shaggy..How ironic ....Oh well...maybe tommorrow.

oh yea the lost hope this morning was just temporary. Digit gave me 16 heroic years to my son. It is just like he pulled me and kid out of a burning building over and over again.. I cant give up.

I have been following this thread, and its gut wrenching. I am at a lost for words, and continue to pray this works out.

Renoman · 06-24-2007, 05:31 PM

You're so close you could touch him yet so far away.....

For what it's worth.... my friend that swears by Colleen... well her black cocker crossed several years ago (which is how she came to know Colleen). Well, my friend's cocker has been asked to sort of 'stand watch' if you will over Digit and without interferring, try to guide him home. As I said before, I have no experience with Colleen and I'm only going on what has been told to me, but hey... you never know..... any and all help to bring Digit home safely is gratefully accepted right?

The good news is you know he is still in the area. With the rain you've been having have you moved or replaced the articles of clothing and concentrated them in the area he's been seen in? Hey... just had a thought..... Place the articles of clothing in a Hav a heart trap big enough for Digit..... along with some of his favorite foods If he goes inside to eat and he must be hungry, you've got him.

Hope you find Digits quickly. Praying for you. Hurts to find you and your pet struggling so much. Keep your spirits up..he will return you you.

digits mama · 06-24-2007, 11:36 PM

JaneG · 06-25-2007, 11:16 AM

I come back here daily now, everytime I hope for some good news. I'm still hopeful for you. Please go home Digit, your mummy is missing you sooo much.

I hope he comes home soon, you're still not giving up on him, right?

digits mama · 06-25-2007, 03:31 PM

Hi Jane......I dont think I will ever give up on Digit. He was my best friend thru some of the most important days of my life. I remember Digits mama. her name was Bianca. I adopted her from a local vet in Lousiana. She was very pregnant and needed a home. Doc was going to abort her pups but she was so far along I couldnt bear it. Plus she was a beautiful Dog and I figured I wouldnt have a problem getting them homes.
She gave birth on August 2,1991. The same day an explosion at a chemical plant in Baton Rouge Louisiana that took my brother.
She broke thru a screen and managed to give birth under a shed in my back yard. The pup under the shed was Digit. She had the other 6 pups in my livingroom with no problem but i managed to demolish the floors in my shed to find Digit.
My son who I adopted from Santiago Chile took straight to Digit. that was his pup from the very beginng. I was in the learning stages of speaking his language, Seemed when son was trying to convey something to me and I would have trouble comprehending what son was saying. He would go to Digit and tell him, seems son thought Digit was only living thing on this earth that understood him. Even thorugh his teenage years.
Digit was also my life saver too. He was by my side thru the thick and thins of life. I have always been a animal person and I think animals are the best therapy thru troubles. I have grown to rely on him for sense of ease. Just for that quiet companionship. When the world is spinning out of control. He would bring me down and showed me peace.If I could count the tears that thick black coat caught. He has seen me and son go thru many phases in life. He was there through it all. By my side. As happy as happy could be. Swimming with us. Boating with us. Traveling across country to California. My life revolves around my boys. and my girl lilly the kitty. I still cant believe that he isnt home with us. Its almost too surreal. 17 days today. 3 sightings and humane society call. Nope. Not giving up yet.

Does anyone have stories of thier favorite furry heros, Id love to read about it.

digits mama · 06-25-2007, 10:25 PM

This afternoon I got a call from a lady who said she was the one who turned in the deaf and blind pup that we thought was Digit. She was very very nice and she wants to come help me look for Digit tommorrow. She was hoping it was Digit because she felt bad for the old chap she rescued from a highway.She had saw my lost ad in the paper.(thanks renoman)
That was another lead to me. Means hope is still there.

Renoman · 06-26-2007, 04:24 AM

Maybe time for another (maybe larger) ad with a picture? Did you check out the Havaheart idea?

JaneG · 06-26-2007, 05:00 AM

I'm so glad you're not giving up on him, what a lovely story too. My thoughts of with you, Digit and your family and friends.

borzoimom · 06-26-2007, 08:42 AM

I do the same thing..

digits mama · 06-26-2007, 11:57 AM

Hey!

Renoman....I have 2 homestead deluxe traps set out now. The guy who owns the property has them. He has kennels with hunting dogs and somethings been getting in his food can. I have to admit. Digit Knows how to open cans with loose lids. there has been many times I used to wonder where the kitty food has been going and I found out digit learned how to pry them open to be able to stick his head in. I would have to bungee cord them down and still he would figure it out every now and then. Thank you!

A few folks have told me today that they think he only comes out at night. Which is very possible becasue he had a nocturnal streak for the last few years. Heat of the day hed be snoring and he was always ready to play at night.

Borziomom and Jane.....thanks so much.

makesthesignoftheZ · 06-26-2007, 02:28 PM

I have been so hopeful every time I see that you post that you will say "I have digit home!" One of your posts... very, very soon... I will log in and celebrate your happiness with you!

Keep the faith!

Renoman · 06-26-2007, 04:42 PM

I'm glad you're trying the traps. Hopefully you'll catch yourself a Digit and not something else.

Inga · 06-26-2007, 07:01 PM

Ha ha ha Renoman, everything needs love right? I am praying for a digit in the trap. I keep hoping to hear He's home, little hungry but doing fine. Keep the faith.

Renoman · 06-26-2007, 08:15 PM

I wish there was more I could do, like actually going out and helping to search. I just keep wracking my brain for ideas - they usually come to me at about 2 a.m. Something good will happen soon. It has too!

I would feel bad if the only thing caught in the trap was a skunk - phew!!!
