Yes, the posters are crucial. It was a poster which caused us to return a big strappin rotty-hound cross to his owners, years ago. He showed up, hungry and tired, so I went to town and checked the bulletin board at our small, local market. There was his poster...so Max went home that evening.

Doggie.......I hope to bring you the news soon of Digits return I have only been living in this area for 5 years and I didnt know alot of these folks in these parts until Digits escape. I have since made lots of friends and i will be keeping up with so many of them in the coming years. digit is a freindly dog and I do believe he is still out there. I think someone has found love with him as I have over the last 16 years. And they have yet to find the posters. Thanks for the hugs and prayers...they are soo nice to have
Rita....YES! Another success story....geesh....I love those!!!!!!
I think you can sign in, click the edit button under your post, when you get to the edit page click the delete button in the row of buttons to the lower right of your post. I think that works, because I deleted one post of my own, so it can't be too difficult.
Also, I think the way to post a picture is: click your edit button, when you are at the place to edit your post, scroll down to the box that says "manage attachments", click that button and it will open a window that lets you upload photos from your computer or from an url. There is a chart to let you know the size limits of the pictures you can upload.
Would love to see a picture of Digit.

Thanks Rita! Mission accomplished....... Well I managed to get the pic I want on my avatar.......I cant seem to get it to come up on the posts tho..i will work on it later....Isnt he sooo pretty? That was the day of the beach. He was one happy dog that day. Man I missssssssssssss himmmmm sooo MucH! When I see his pictures..Its so sad...
I recieved a call from one of the scouts dad.. Seems we had another recent sighting. He stayed under a mans barn for 3 days 2 weeks ago and it was far from the last sighting. Approx.13 miles. I want to go home yet I cant leave my Grandfather either. The dad and mom reassured me that they are going to be up that way for me. My son is home and he is checking it out too when possible. Also a good friend of mine is out searching now. The man said that he left food for him but he didnt touch it. He said he looked pretty good except he needs a grooming. Digit had haircuts once a month because of his shag. Its been about 2 months now since his last one. OHhhh I want him home.
Ya know...Im trying to remain positive, But the current situation is really ruining my mojo.. i think I am going to go visti borzoimoms thread on funny pictures. trying to remain

It rained pretty hard today in Mississippi. Freind called and said 2 scouts with thier parents showed up and they decided to drive search due to the rain. No Luck.....
Aww Iam soo sorry to hear this! I hope he gets found!
Keep searching on Petfinder maybe , I am looking now but they need a location so yeah. Good luck!
I get to go home for the rest of the week. So I will be able to do some searching myself again...I cant wait to get there. Grandfather is doing ok. Alot better than I expected.. my cuz is coming to take over till next Monday. Digits Birthday is August 2nd.. Have to get my boy home!
Digit is in my prayers. It's hard to loose a pet you've had so long, but don't loose heart! Just keep making phone calls to shelters and looking around. If he is trapped in the woods somewhere, don't worry; someone will find him. I've heard of cases a lot like this and the animals are just taken to a shelter nearby, so he should turn up soon.
Hi I am so sorry to hear about digit. I have cats that are like kids to us, we have no children, our fear is always the cats getting out and us not being able to find them. It is unimaginable to us and we feel for you.

Hey all......... I put a ad on Craiglist for Digit the other day.. Last night i got this email
Hello, the other day I was driving to work as I normally do and some lady hit a dog that resembled yours. I'm not sure if it was the same dog but it looks very similar though I thought the dog was a puppy.. definitly cocker spaniel like though.
Anyway, she hit the dog... the dog laid in the middle of the road and when the ladies pulled to the side to get out the dog got up and trotted off (his fur was a bit matted and wet). (?) It was weird. Anyhow, the ladies ran after it and the dog came to them and was a bit hesitant to be picked up. One of the ladies tried to pick the dog up and he bit her thumb... I couldn't help but chuckle a bit with that.. They did manage to get the dog into the car though. It was a green mossy color van. I don't quite remember the license plate but you may want to check some of the shelters around the area.
Everything about this is so real. She said Trot...Thats my boy..She said matted...thats my boy... I am printing posters as i sit here now...This so far out of range where i was looking....This is actually 30 miles or more south of where he was last located........Going to the county shelter..Which is very near this site...going to plaster up the place with posters.. Can I have another line of prayers please? Thanks yall..

Went to the shelters...went to the vets offices in area. Nothing.. faxed posters to 37 other vet offices on the Mississippi gulf coast and no call backs yet...Waiting on reply from lady who emailed me from craiglist..Asked a few more questions..
Thanks Borziomom....You helped me alot today...
Peace...Thanks..I am so glad I found this forum! Prayers are the best thing I got going right now!
Immortalpets... that is beautiful what you have set up there. Hopefully I wont have to but if it does somehow get bad..Ill be checking it out more.
Well we tried but its not over with. I hope that poster idea with bottom pull tabs for numbers works. You have my number etc..
I came back for any updates before bedtime. ..
Hi everyone... I dunno if I explained myself on something. I was asked this question for the first time last night and I was hoping noone would notice becasue of how much of a dumbass I feel like.
Digit and Dozer both ALWAYS have nameplates on thier collars. Phone Number Etc.. Wednesday before digit left, I went shopping at target and was gearing up for my weekend trip with my girlfriends. I saw some beautiful collars there that I just had to get for my boys. I was going to stop at the feed store down the road to get thier nameplates put on em. When I got there the feed store was closed due to a funeral and so ..No prblem.. I can get it done tommorrow. When I got home, I couldnt resist to show them all the goodys I got them. Took off thier old collars and put the new ones on em..I let them parade around in them for that day. inadvertantly.. with all the excitement with freinds showing up from out of town and all that hoopla..I forgot.. and That is why Digit dont have a collar with name and numbers.. Please dont burn me at the stake for I will feel the guilt for a lifetime already..
I know I wont burn you for it.
It's just a dumb accident that could happen to anyone .
I really hope you get him back. It's been so long.
I wonder why there are so many sightings of him, but no one stops to help or take him to a shelter??
You will be in my thoughts till the day you get him back
Hi Doggie... I wish I knew the answer to that.. I Thought about it and since I just beginning to understand how it is to lose a pet. Truth be known...Before this happened and I would find a stray, I would usually call him my own. i wouldnt think to bring the dog to a shelter. i would in fact call the shelters and state a dog was found but I never took them to shelters. Becasue of the fact of the horrer stories of what could possibly happen. I never thought I would pray that my digit would be brought to one. But I do everyday.
I think many people have helped him becaseu i dont think he would have made it so far away from home. It is just, if they dont bring him in during a thunderstorm he moves right along until storm passes. No telling where he ends up next. So i do know he has to be being fed. All sightings point to the fact that he is trotting along. and looks real well fed. At 16 years old this august 2nd. he sounds as if he was the day he left here. So I have hope.. The good news is...If those ladies hit him in the car stopped to help him...they must have love for animals as we do.. That puts a glimmer of hope in my head. I still wish we had some closure.
I have only been living in this area for 5 years and I didnt know alot of these folks in these parts until Digits escape. I have since made lots of friends and i will be keeping up with so many of them in the coming years. digit is a freindly dog and I do believe he is still out there. I think someone has found love with him as I have over the last 16 years. And they have yet to find the posters. Thanks for the hugs and prayers...they are soo nice to have
