Annie was seen walking east on Ament Road near the cemetery. Sunday at approximately 1:00 pm, the owners received a call. We set up cameras and a feeding station at the last know sighting area. Open barns, under decks, abandoned properties. Our hope was she had found some place to bed down and stay safe and warm. More flyers had gone up in that general vicinity but unfortunately there were no sightings called in for three days. The weather did not cooperate the next couple days cold, rain, snow, wind. The last sighting was back in the area of the 8:30 am sighting, running full speed between a couple houses near Legion and Immanuel. The caller followed in her car, taking a couple pictures along the way. That caller witnessed Annie in her frantic state, and in a frightened effort to escape, Annie ran back west across Rt. A second sighting in the same general area came in around 10:15 am. By 9:30 am that same morning, she was back in her subdivision just blocks from home. 47 approximately 1.5 miles as the crow flies. By Wednesday morning, 8:30 am she had found herself on the west side of Rt. She went missing from the Raintree Subdivision on the east side of Rt 47, south of Rt. We finally had everyone communicating together, finally had figured out the sightings, and began to see Annie’s patterns, or at least where we thought she might be hanging out. Deb knew that I had been reaching out to Mike, and made the connection.īy Thursday, we had an active messenger chat going with Liz, Kim, Cindy, Deb, myself and Kelly, our friend who also offered to assist. She reached out to her friend Liz, who knew that Deb did recovery, and asked if Deb was available. I mentioned I had talked with the owner and let them know I was still available.Īnd in another piece of the puzzle, one of the women who called in a Wednesday sighting, Kim, had been communicating with Cindy, Annie’s mom. In the meantime, LDI had reached out to ask if anyone could assist with a lost dog in Yorkville, that the family had reached out to ask for a trap. He said thank you and I didn’t hear back. Again, I reached out to Mike, explained the importance of getting the pertinent information, date/time, EXACT location and direction of travel. They had received some sightings in the subdivision right next to theirs, literally blocks from home. There were no sightings from Sunday until Wednesday the 23 rd. Mike continued to inform me that they were good. But this case was a good reminder that the suggestions and points we give to owners fly out of my mouth with ease and sometimes, most times, it’s very overwhelming. I do try not to inundate owners with information but as we all know time is of the essence and the sooner some steps get done the better the chances of recovery. Over the next couple days I kept texting with Mike, offering pointers lots of pointers. I offered to put a camera up at home, but they informed me they had a Ring camera and were good. I gave them some pointers and they had done quite a few things already reached out to police, AC and vets in the area, had scent items and food out at home, and had gotten flyers made and up in the area. Found out she got spooked on a walk and around the corner from home and backed out of a harness. Being as I live in Yorkville, I couldn’t not. I had first reached out to Annie’s parents when I saw a post on one of the Yorkville pages.
