what's the point anymore? I guess you would need to know be better to even know what I was talking about.

Well before I got my dogs a year ago as puppies I was in an extremely dark place. So dark that I would probably be dead if not for them. I had them both since they were just newborns. Even though one wasn't mine and she was my sister, but she got tired of her real quickly, and the boy he was mine from the begining. I bonded with him instantly. I love them with everything I am. I would give up anything and everything to protect them. They are my pride and joy.

This morning.... they were gone...

I woke with every window in my house open. I'm guessing it was my mother's doing. She visit in the morning from time to time, but I slept in today. In my room one of the screens were push out, and my dogs no where to be found. I spent an hour walking around looking for them and nothing.... My heart has been ripped out. I just don't know anymore.... I want to hate my mother for this.... but I just feel nothing now...

Come home Kairi.... Angel.... Please.... I need you...

EDIT: Think I'll be away for awhile. If youreally need to reach me... pm my I'll get it in my email.

Oh sweety.....I hope you find your puppies soon! Start putting up posters all over town, go to the local shelters and tell them of your lost pets, as well as the police department.

I would've chewed my mom out so bad.

if i could.. I'd help you search.. as I was MUCH in the same place. I considered so badly just not going home many times before i moved out.. And then later.. some even darker thoughts. But my animals kept me going back. I also wouldn't just chew out my mom for that.. I would probably end up going a little further than that.

If you're living on your own.. I'd consider changing the locks. You could explain it to your mom/family in a more positive way if you like too.. Something along the lines of "You're still welcome to visit when ever, but this is my home, and you will be guests, not simply have free access to my home when ever you wish" or something. Not sure what your living arrangements are like though. Animals are pretty smart though... Hopefully they'll show up at your door (at worst in a few days) looking for food. Make sure you keep an eye out on shelters, and put up posters.

Also.. depending on how sure you are, and how intentional you think it might be.. could consider reporting it to the police... Not sure if You'd be willing to go that far, but I'm another person who's pets are my babies. If someone INTENTIONALLY did ANYTHING to risk my geckos escaping their tanks, or Penguin getting outside unsupervised (though.. she's a wuss, so that would actually be pretty hard...) I wouldn't hesitate to report them/file a complaint for WHATEVER that might fall under, no matter who they were. My babies are the only things that have gotten me through a lot of rough times recently.

I pretty much live in constant dread of anyone letting my cats out - there have been a few "incidents", but, thank God, we always managed to find them before anything happened. So I know what you're going through - just keep on looking, put up posters and rewards, ask at the local shelters etc, and hopefully you'll find your babies. I'll keep you and them in my prayers & thoughts.

I wouldnt report this to the police like some others have been suggesting that just seems way over the top for something that sounds like an accident.

Whether it "seems" like an accident or not is up to Kurenio. Nobody but them knows what their relationship with the mother is like.. or if there was any reason to open the windows, or whether it's NORMAL for someone to visit and open all of the windows in the house. They mentioned it was one of the windows in their ROOM that was opened with the screen pushed out. Visitor or not.. family or not.. I definitely wouldn't be okay, as a young adult, with someone coming into my room while I was asleep to open my window :/

I wasn't saying it should be the first step to jump to mind.. Just that someone shouldn't NOT consider calling the police about someone "visiting" your home while you were asleep, and opening all your windows without your permission without ensuring that your "belongings" (as that's how pets are, unfortunately, seen in the eyes of the law) would be secure, just beccause that person was their mother... :/ It's like.. if you turn "someone" into "mother" it's not any more okay than if you turn "someone" into "random aquaintance" or "Person I don't like who is a friend of my room mate" or even "random stranger" or something :/

I'm personally not close to my family.. so I can easily see how something like this could NOT be an accident.. I imagine that people who are closer to family don't see how that would be possible (just the same as how I've found people without anxiety issues just don't get how I perceive certain things)

I'm so sorry!!! You might want to also put up a "Lost" posting in Craigslist. Also, if your dogs are a specific breed, you might want to look into breed-specific rescue groups in your area, in case anyone turns your babies in to them. My friend got her ferret back after it got lost (can you imagine someone actually finding a little ferret in a decently-sized town?) by telling HOFA (Heart of Ohio Ferret Association).

Good luck on getting your babies back!!!

Hope you've talked to your mom to find out what actually happened this morning. :/ Facts are needed here.

Thanks for the support guys, but I pretty much on my own. The police in the area wouldn't give a rat.... hind quarters about it. The community... well it's not the best to say the least.... I swear to god if I see anyone with my dogs I'm going to lose it....

You could try offering a reward for any information that leads you to getting your dogs back. Even if you can't offer much.. I know that I personally would give anything I had to get Penguin back if she escaped (and didn't come right back.. or run into a neighbours house... she doesn't know my new place yet.. outside scares her.. she makes a bee-line for ANY door if I take her our on her harness, heh), and people will often do a lot more if they think they'll get something out of it...

Hopefully everything works out for you Are they mutts? I know it doesn't matter to those who love their animals.. but if they weren't, you might be able to get a LITTLE more attention from the police (even if you don't report it as a "I want to report ____ for letting my animals out", and more as a "My dogs somehow got out due to someone being careless, and I was wondering if you guys could keep an eye out while on patrol" kind of thing) if there could be any perceived monetary value to the dogs :/ That's not how I see things, but I know that's how others do, and in my eyes.. ANY angle is worth playing to get my pets back.

I really do hope everything works out for you... I honestly can't imagine what I'd do if Penguin got out.. Actually.. maybe I can.. She had an accident a year or 2 ago and I thought she was dying.. (she had the wind knocked out of her.. she was more limp than a stuffed animal.. tongue was purple-white and hanging out.. eyes unresponsive..) And I freaked out.. I BARELY got it together enough to call a cab and take her to the vet... (of course, by the time I got her in, she was fine) That was probably one of the most terrifying moments of my life...

I felt the same way when my long haired chihuahua, Susu, died. She was the last present I ever received from my grandfather, who passed away 7 years ago, and I felt she was his way of watching over me and being with me (my grandfather was like a father to me, amazing in so many ways). Susu got really sick one day, I took her to the vet, the vet said there was nothing she could do because Susu was so small (VERY tiny long haired chi) and any surgery or tests would likely kill or injure her even more. I didn't want to put her through that, but I couldn't bear to see her put down, hoping against hopes that somehow she would pull through. She didn't make it, sadly, but she died in my arms, which is how she would have wanted to go. I was so depressed for so long. Susu was like a child to me. So happy, eager, and loving no matter what. For a long time after my grandfather's passing, she gave me reason to live. I couldn't bear to see Susu left alone, so I have her to thank for me being alive today.

It took a long time for me to get another dog, but when I did, I got two instead of just one, because I didn't want him/her to be alone like Susu was when I was at work. Now I have Maia and Snickers. Female short-haired chi and male Shorkie (Shih-tzu/Yorkie mix). Maia has the same exact coloring as Susu and Snickers has the long, silky hair like Susu. They make me happy, but they will never replace Susu for good.

People say "its just a dog", but they're not. To me, they're tiny, furry, babies. Irreplaceable, but it is possible to love others again. I know you probably don't want to think about it, but if all else fails, do not give up hope. Get two new babies. They won't be your first ones, but you will love them. Dogs are meant to love and be loved.

Just got back from looking again... nothing...

My mom is just like.... well I'll buy you a husky.... but it's not the same. It wouldn't be and can't be.

I probably would've snapped at her for suggesting that so soon.

I would have....cause if I lost Sasha, I'd be an emotional wreck.

I am so happy

They were found and are out the pound right now, but I can't get them out till Thursday. (damn money issues).

Thank god.

yay! I'm so glad you found them!

OMG YAY! Yayayayay! ^.^ I am so happy they were found! That's great!!! Put deadbolts/locks/barbed wire around all your windows. Well, maybe not the barbed wire because your doggies might get hurt on it, but yeah.

Grats on finding them!!!

I just read through your thread and my heart ached reading your posts about your pups being missing... What a happy turn of events, I'm so glad your pups are found! I'd be squirming in my seat to get them, but at least you know where they are, that they have shelter, and are getting fed until you can get them back. Yay for happy returns!

I'm so glad you found them! Let us know when you take them home, I'm sure everyone wants to hear that they're safe and sound with their mommy(daddy) sorry. ><
