It's crazy how fast I’ve fallen out of love with the garden. Other than unavoidable appointments, we’ve holed ourselves away, holding our breath and wishing for any kind of closure.
The only other dog I’ve lost was in junior high, and that disappearance made some level of sense. He was a hunting breed; he followed his nose and disappeared. A coyote, a trap, getting hurt. But Davy? Davy wouldn't notice a piece of cheese sitting right in front of his nose unless you pointed it out. He’d bork at deer in the yard, but he’d never actually take after them. We’ve searched, screamed his name, and done everything possible. If he was still out here, we’d know. At this point, the thought of someone taking him is so much harder to process than him succumbing to the canyons or a passing vehicle.
If we don't have answers by Friday, we are going to "bury him"to give our girls some level of peace. They are just too young to carry the worry of where he is. We will never truly stop looking for him, but as a mom, watching my babies cry every single night is breaking my heart into pieces.
We do want to send a heartfelt thank you to GS Droneworx out of North Platte. They came out and scanned the entire area with so much care, but what meant the most was how unbelievably gentle they were with our girls. They took the time to show them everything they were doing while making them feel involved and cared for. We are so grateful for their kindness.
Please keep keeping an eye out for our boy. Thank you all for the love and support during the hardest week.
