Today is 10 months and 9 days since our hearts were broken and Farrah got loose. I have since learned that with puppy mill rescues you have to double secure them as they are EXTREME
flight risks, and once loose are rarely recovered. The fact that we had Farrah on a camera 8 weeks after she went missing was almost a miracle. Please, if you take your pet to the vet, make sure it is doubly secured. Ask them to let you take your dog in and bring them back out. I will never again trust my animal to someone else even if they are the vet. If something happens I would rather it be my fault than someone else's because I know this vet tech felt absolutely heartbroken herself. If you have a rescue, especially a puppy mill, know that they need extra caution.
I want to introduce you to Jack. Jack is from the same puppy mill as Farrah. He turns 3 today!! The rescue was called by the breeder to pick him up and he kindly reached out to us first! We could not have been more excited!! Yesterday we were taking Jack for his first visit to the vets. He does not yet cooperate on leash. We had a martingale collar on him with a leash, and a harness with a leash. Dan put him in the back of the SUV and was bringing the door down when Jack bolted from the car. Fortunately Dan caught him in mid air. We both think we would have died to lose another one. But these dogs I have learned, are frightened of new things and places.
Jack is helping our hearts to heal, but we continue to have cameras and feeding stations out for Farrah. We won't give up hope. We would welcome the chance to have our baby back and be a 4 dog family!!!! :). So please when you are in the area, don't stop looking for her! Maybe a miracle will happen!! She was the most amazing girl. Aside from her coming home, if we can't have her I hope she is safe with someone else loving her.
The community has been wonderful! I still pray that we can have that picnic in the park so everyone can meet Farrah! Our hope lives on while our hearts are trying to mend. Happy 3rd Birthday to Jack and Welcome to our hearts! xoxoxo Farrah!!!!
