My pets are members of my family. You and your pet have my prayers Brm. Mine stayed gone all day last weekend and had me a nervous wreck. Praying for a safe return.
Thank You SS. Since my daughter got married and left home, this dog has been MY girl at home. I raised her from a pup, and we had a special bond.

I'm still praying that you get your best friend back Bill. You hear of stories all the time of dogs making it home from long distances, like a homing pigeon.
Good luck at Chotard.
She's still not home. I'm dealing with it better tho. I'm still praying.
Thanks to all of you for your prayers.

I know how you feel BRM; I have 3 labs one of every color. I had one die on me 8 years ago and still seems like yesterday.
Prayers sent.
We all still hoping and praying too. Know how it feels, I had a blackk lab for a hunting buddy. Lost him in 08.
SeaRay
I for sure can relate. I live in a rural area as well. I have a black and a chocalate. The neighbor down the road had a yellow. Everyday my chocalate would pay her a visit. They played great together. She made frequant trips to our house as well. We found out they were both crosssing the river and going into the nearest town from us. If you want to call it a town. Pop 300 Anyway they both show up missing and withing 48 hours we get a call from an elderly lady in town. She got our phone number off the collar.She said she had a chocalate and a yellow dog at her house. Come to find out. These 2 dogs were crossing the river everyday for weaks and showing up at this lady's house everyday like clockwork. Everyday they went to her house she would give them dog treats they would hang out for 20-30 minutes and them come back home. So when they came up missing again. We went straight to the ladys house. She was concerned as well because they had not made their daly visit the last couple days. I spent the next weak driving in circles looking for them. I did not sleep well because of it. Then the other neighbor further down
the road pulls in my driveway one evening. He ask me if I own a yellow or a chocalate lab. I say yes, I own the chocalate and my neighbor owns the yellow. He informed me the next time he catch's them chasing his cows. It will be the last time. I asked him when was the lst time he had seen our dogs chasing his cows. He said about 3 days ago. Why would he wait 3 days to come tell me those dogs were chasing his cows? Hmmm, I told him we have been looking for these does for days now. He just got in his truck and said. Well I hope you find them but, you better hope they don't show up st my house either. I will never be able to prove it. I'm convinved he shot our dogs and so is my neighbor. These dogs when they were together. Were inseperble and were Very Smart dogs. Sorry to ramble on but,we never saw those dogs again. I have since replaced him with another chocalate. Things are somewhat back to normal but, I still think about those dogs almost everyday. I also have developed a true dislike for a certain neighbor. Even though I can't prove it. My gut instinct tells me otherwise. I truley hope you find your dog BRM. I know what your going through believe me. Prayers sent.
Sad but true story. I have a suspicion about a few people as well, but like you, can't prove it. They say they have seen her, but I'm not so sure. The pup my dog runs with, can't be caught. If someone had have taken Shug, the pup would have come home by now. My best hope is that the pup got hurt or hit by a car or something, and somebody picked up Shug. I'm still praying, and have broadened my search. I've looked all over this part of the country again today. Thanks for the prayers.

I hope you find her Bill, I can't imagine losing me girl "Patches". It's amazing how a pet can become such a big part of a family. Don't give up hope.
Our most gracious Heavenly Father, Thank You for the time I had with Shug. It was a privilege to have had the time with her that you allowed. I pray Father that she's in your hands, and that if she befell a fatal fate, you have her at your side. You know best Lord that she is a great dog, and I know Lord that you have the master plan, and that it will give me strength for the time I had with her. I pray Lord if someone has her, that they treat her with the love and respect that she deserves. I also pray Father that if she is alive, and it be Your Will, You will lead her home. Amen.

When I saw you had added to this post this morning I was hoping to see that she had returned safe and sound. Sorry to see that wasn't so. Prayers for you and your pet.
BRM, I had a lab one time that was almost a year old and was retrieving doves like a seasoned vet and somebody borrowed him. Maybe that's what happened to yours. Maybe they'll bring her back after duck season. I had a hard time with it just like you. Mine has been gone for 19 years and I still got hope that he will be returned. Hang in their young man. Be strong.
Thanks Teberd. I'm trying to be strong, but it's getting harder as the days go by. I know some think "it's just a dog", but it feels like a family member to me.

I feel for you, love my labs. They are part of the family. I have always wanted to fish over there in Mississippi in the big three, but no lab friendly cabins. If they aren't welcome, I don't go. I know it's hard, just letting you know I feel for you.
Thank You. Still not home!!!

Bill, how old is she? Sometimes older dogs know when their time is near and wander off to expire. I had a Golden do that, found his collar and remains about a year later in a field a good ways from the house. Hope she turns up though.
She's only 5 and in great health. I had a 11 year old chocolate that went out and died before this one. I don't want any more. It's been tough twice in the last 5 years, but I did find the chocolate. I think he had a heart attack chasing a female that was in heat. He went out like the champ he was. Lol
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers guys!!!!!!!!

Was just a thought Bill, hope she turns up, just never know. I had one that stayed gone for 3 weeks 2 different times, had given up both times.
I'd be skeert to leave my dog with Donnie. He probably would shave it to get more gnat tying material.
I appreciate it. I've still got hope!!! It's just tough not knowing.
