Our old boy Barney would stop and freeze in the middle of leaping over an object if we told him to freeze like a cartoon. He took off on us once when he was a pup and we put him in intensive training...military style. Best thing we ever did for ourselves and especially for our now 85lb Boxer. He lives to please and lives the life of Riley. If the law of the land say leash then that's what it will be for the old boy. I feel bad for Chewy & his owner. Hope good news is forthcoming.

Sighting This Morning (Sat)
Sighting of Chewy this morning off Charlotte Ct. Village of Sanibel/Charlotte area. We didn't get a call -- I checked with Community Watch and they told me of sighting two hours later :/
Trap was set near the last place he was seen -- limping like he was injured. PLEASE if you see him call one of us or when you call Community Watch or WVLG radio please ASK that they call one of the search team so we can move trap to that area. Chewy must be hungry now and getting weak with his bad leg(s). Hang in there little boy... We just need a break to get you into care.🙏🏻 |

I walk 5+ miles daily in this area. Will look for Chewy whenever I am walking or just out and about.

If you do see him... Please do not try to chase him, don't look at him or acknowledge hm in any way. He WILL bolt! Just calling his name... he WILL bott!
Please call Susan at 1-504-329-7335 IF you can't reach her, call me at 1-815-370-9115 (Susan should be your first point of contact, as she is working the trap) so she can move the trap if needed. We have learned the hard way, that by trying to catch him... only moves him to a new area and we need him to stay in one place so the trap will work. I won't even go in an area that I know he might be. He knows me now and bolts when he see me.

No Sightings of CHEWY Today (Sunday)
Checked the trap early this morning in Village of Charlotte -- no Chewy. (Thankfully no other critters either). We have picked up the trap until we get a new sighting.
The radio station has had NO additional sighting calls, nor has Community Watch. I'm getting worried that he is hurt worse than the limping we witnessed, or possibly too weak to run. Please check around shrubbery, open garage doors, etc. for the little fella. He is 1 year old and is a brown over white Deer Head Chihuahua, which is a variety I had not previously heard of. Thank you all for staying vigilant & for keeping the post visible. Susan |

Bare, wouldn't he eat geckos and find water in places like a kitty would?

My dog Beau was out on the street in the Crystal River area before a dog catcher snatched him up. He was quite a bit thinner than he is now. I believe he picked up the habit of eating his own poop when he was lose. He either got abandoned by a family in dire straits of some kind or escaped from some his owners. I do hope Chewy is OK. |

Trust me Gracie -- neither man or beast should drink from sprinklers or retention ponds here. As my doctor told me when I first moved here and accidentally drank from a non-potable source "Ma'am, we have sewage in the water here!" One that consumes that water will quickly dehydrate - from BOTH ends...

I sincerely hope that Chewy is soon spotted, and that he is hungry enough to fall for the "live trap" trick. I hope that his journey ends with a happy conclusion.

Sighting
I just received a call that Chewy was spotted in the Charlotte/Sanibel area. About an hour ago
Please don't chase or call... Just keep us informed as to where you see him Susan is going to try to put the trap down again as soon as she can get there. We don't want him scared. We need hi to stay put. Please advise if you see him
