Yes, I bumped this thread to bring people's attention to Oakley. I had never posted about her before, but I so loved to read about her and to see the pictures.
I took the original information and posted it to my lists that would allow me to do so. For those lists that had posts back about the dog, I reposted to let them know Oakley was found!!!!
The first posts to my post show that Oakley's information went out all over the country so to speak.
Sorry, but one NEVER Ever lets a dog loose in the woods!!!! Remember the guy who thought he understood grizzlies?? They left a recorder going that recorded how his girl friend and he were torn apart and eaten. Bad enough he was torn and eaten but to do that to your girl friend is beyond belief.
Remember how Jack London told how wolves would lure dogs away from campsites by using a female in season. Then they would kill and eat the dog. Sniff a rattlesnake and dog gets bitten and would have been dead before the 40 hours were up.
Glad the two are now safe and well and hope the owner has learned a lesson about keeping OUR Oakley safe as well as Misty!!!!

That must been the longest forty hours to endure. So glad to hear that Misty and Oakley adventurous gallivating in Cedar Creek have seen them both home safe and sound. Keep the faith.

Thank GOD!!! I got the K9 Amber Alert this morning and when I saw "blind GSD", I thought, "No, it can't be....." But it was Annie! How sick you must have felt. You might want to update and put a "Found- Happy Ending" on K9 AA.

k9nme,
Yes, I am very aware of those things you mentioned...Rattlers are not an issue here, we don't have them. But wolves are an issue, as are bears, mountain lion, and such. I have indeed learned a valuable lesson, and will be setting up a cable trolley system to be sure that if I cannot go out when they have to do their business, they will be secured within twenty feet of our camper. I will never take that chance again. I am grateful to everyone who sent out this information around the country, so that just in case they ended up picked up by someone from out of town, they could be brought back.
Yesterday, we received calls from a number of folks in the Priest Lake area, some friends of ours, some that we didn't know. ALl of them were putting together search parties to go up and comb that area for anything at all. They were fueling up four wheel ATVs, getting horses ready, the works, all to find our two beloved dogs that were missing in the wilds. They were all glad to hear that we had already gotten the dogs back, but still, it warms my heart no end to know that they would have been willing to go to that trouble for Oakley and Misty.
It was the longest forty hours of my life, Poseidon...Definitely the longest. I was so afraid for Oakley, so worried. The first day I spent hours in the pouring rain, calling for them until my throat hurt and I lost my voice. When we came back down to start calling, I spent hours on the phone, and on the internet, emailing pics and the flyer I made, to everyone in that area that I could get an email address for, and I'm so grateful that it paid off. That adventure was probably their last...I'll still take them camping, but their world (especially Misty's...for she has more of a tendency to wander) has become a great deal smaller...As in no more than twenty feet! I may let them off leash, because I do trust their recall, but they will not be out alone, free, unsupervised...Can't take that chance.
How do I update a K9 Amber Alert? I think Steph sent it out, and I'm not sure how to update it?

PS: As for sick...You can't imagine how sick we felt. My hubby is still suffering after-effects of the stress, as am I. The dogs are still experiencing soft stools and some mild soreness, I think, judging by the stiffness they seem to have. Leaving that campsite, leaving that mountain, listening to the children crying in the backseat, and having tears running down my face that I couldn't stop...Was the worst feeling in the world. The most devastating feeling in the world. I prayed hard, and then put everything I had into notification and trying to find them, and Someone up above heard those prayers.
