If someone is going to rob a house, steal my radio, T.V., DVDs, jewelry, but don't take a dog! Those other things are replaceable - your Lily isn't. People have a lot of nerve these days. I am so sorry for you and your husband.

Please keep us posted as to Lily's whereabouts. I know we will all have you in our thoughts and prayers!

Natalie & Daisy :)

LILY UPDATE

No good news, Lily is still missing. I still miss her so much. I know it is crazy but I sill smell her from time to time, and I just have been having dreams about her. I am not very hopeful anymore of getting her back. It has been over two months since she has been gone, but it feels like forever. I feel like I had her for such a short time, it hardly seems like she was even real, and that she was only in my dreams. I have pictures up everwhere of her. Now I can look at them and smile and think of all the good times, instead of just crying. My husband and I really miss having a dog around the house, so we decided to call Lily's breeder. We let them know what happened and how good of a puppy Lily was, and that we would like to get another boxer from them. I know that it will be hard to have another puppy, but it will be easier knowing that the puppy will be a part of Lily. She was just the perfect puppy, so well behaved and so loving. My boss is going to let me bring the new baby into work with me, so that I won't have to worry about her being stolen. We probally will be getting the puppy this spring. I will have to keep you posted. Meanwhile, thanks for all the support!

I wanted to send my sympathy out to you and your family. I had a guy pull up to me when I was walking my boxer, and asked me how old he was, was he fixed, did I have his papers, and I became very nervous and made a mental note of the type of truck he had and his description. He told me he was looking for a boxer to breed with his boxer, but he seemed more like a backyard breeder than a serious breeder. I adopted my boxer from rescue so he had no papers, and was fixed, so I could not satisfy those needs he was looking for. Many dogs are stolen and then resold for profit or used for breeding, and the person doing this horrible crime never once considers the bond between the dog and its owner, and the trauma all parties involved then have to go through. I know that if anyone broke into my home, I would beg them to please take everything except my children and pets. It is amazing how love is free, but the strongest bond in the world. Did you ever consider offering a small reward for information about your Lily? People are motivated by money very easily. Posting the reward in the area the people supposedly live could possibly shake things up. I hope and pray that one day you are reunited with Lily. Good luck!

Yes, we offered $1,000.00 reward for her. Everyone at work was going to help me with the money. When I was on the news, they stated the reward, but the only call we received was to tell us that they had fled to Kentucky with her and that they were calling her Lily. The only way they would know her name was to have seen the news. I still don't understand why they wouldn't want the money. They sold all of our electronics for $250.00

At least you tried by offering the reward, you really are doing the best that you can in the situation. I can not believe that the law enforcement is not doing more though, if they know who the people are, and found your other stolen items, then why cant they press charges on them and demand the return of your dog, and if they no longer have the dog they should have to re-imburse you for the dog financially, and I know no amount of money would bring the fullfillment your dog did, but at least it would put a dent in thier pockets and teach them somewhat of a lesson. The police in the county you live in should be working with the police in the county these people live in, and pressing charges. By not doing anything about it, they are encouraging these tyrants to do it again. I am very sorry.

I know, I don't understand why they can't just go to the address that was on there ID and question them or whoever lives there. The only thing they can do is put a warrent out. Alot of good that does. The police said that they can not place those paticular men at our house just because they pawned our things. They say that if they were to arrest them then they would be infringing on there rights. The robbers could just say they found all that stuff on the side of the road and they just wanted to sell it for a little money. It is funny how criminals have more rights then us.

I agree with you completely on this. The law is basically patting them on the back for not getting caught. What I dont understand is if they have their address, why dont they go their and see if Lily is there, or drive by and check it out periodically, as they would have to let her out from time to time to go potty. Also, they sold your property, they become a suspect then at least for questioning. I would find out the name of that areas newspaper/buyers guide too and check the listings periodically to see if they have your boxer listed for sale. Greed will turn up in their minds, thinking they could sell her for a profit. They may have dumped her at a shelter too, out of fear, so hopefully shelters and rescues are aware of your situation too. The only problem with that is who knows where they would have surrendered her, if they did that. Good luck ok.

Did all that, spoke to there local paper, shelters, rescues, and the sheriffs department themselves. I have faxed or e-mailed pictures to them too. Still no luck. I think they just say they are keeping an eye out for her, but they really aren't. Being in a different state it is hard to keep on top of them all the time. Thanks for all the suggestiions and support.
