Aggie set off on her adventure just minutes after she met her new family at her new home, 2 weeks ago now. But it was enough time that the children know the companionship they are missing with Aggie gone, and they want her back! The family very much appreciates that, when the older son participated in sharing day, at school, by sharing that he wants his lost dog back, the school put his sign up in the front lobby. Kids are a great way to spread the word about a lost dog, so please make sure that the kids in your life know to keep an eye out for Aggie, and to tell their friends.
Well, it seems that the people at the quarry had safety issues with anyone but workers in there, so Sam was not able to get in there to track or search. But aren't quarries really loud, at least during the business day? Let's hope she's not there, then, since we can't get in.
So we appreciate that some community members are making concerted efforts to take their walks and spend some time searching in the general area of Rock Hill, Sterling Road, and Herndon Parkway. Looking at the map of the general area, Parcher Avenue looks like an area that would be worth circulating the word about Aggie to. If you know people living in that community, or if you know the homeowners associations back there, please help make sure they know about Aggie. She could get there from where she's been sighted and tracked by Salsa even if cars could not so easily get there.
There is also some concern that if Aggie meanders along Rock Hill on the other side of 606/Sterling Rd, she could so easily pick up the W&OD Trail. If she does that, Purcellville and Arlington are hers for the taking. That and the fact that that the trail has a lot of great places to post fliers is part of why we would like to get to bikers and dog walkers and anyone willing to spend some time along the trail this weekend. Can you help?
If you are able to come out and help, or if you go out searching on your own for Aggie, thank you and please let us know -- by email or by comment on this blog. Aggie definitely needs help in all kinds of ways. And don't forget spreading the word electronically, stopping by the shelters in the area to check the dogs in residence, and of course, communicating telephatically with Aggie to explain that we are not predators, we are trying to help her!
