Update - she's ok, for now at least

Aug 09, 2011 21:58

We found a couple people who said they'd seen her in the morning after the alleged attack. Buoyed by that hope, I got some live traps to bait with tuna, and when I was setting them out, I saw her run across the yard. My friends and I wound up on another wild good chase with her escaping into the woods, but at least I've seen with my own eyes that ( Read more... )

Your neighbor? He's a dick.

I'm going to find this dude and beat him.* I was all upset all day thinking about Boo and I can only imagine how you felt.

*Purely rhetorical threat. I will not in fact be beating anyone. But IT IS TEMPTING.

Heh, thanks for the support. I don't think he was doing it just to get off on ruining my day. He seemed really sincere about wanting to help, even if it was just by giving me closure.

But it *is* frustrating - naturally I was utterly devastated, and came home and cried for hours. Those are wasted hours that I could have spent getting and putting out traps, calling professional trappers to see if they'd be willing to do this, and/or calling the vet to find out how long she can go without her meds. Instead I ended up stumbling around in the rainy dark to get the traps out, since I didn't want to risk another night of her out there alone if I could get her safely into a trap. Of course, it was when I was doing just that that I saw her, so I guess it worked out.

Now I'm just praying that the traps work.

Good luck! I'll be thinking of you and Boo!

Depending on the wording he used, your neighbour's still an absolute dick. If he said it as an absolute, no-doubt-about-it fact, he needs a good arse kicking. Or at the very least to be sternly lectured until he gets a severe headache.

Thanks <3 I think he meant well, but ergh. It just devastated me to hear it, plus I lost many hours of daylight which could have been used productively.

All I can say is that I hope you get her back soon. And I can't imagine the relief!

Thanks. I really was relieved. hearing that she'd been killed just destroyed me.

Glad to know that Boo is still with us. Hugs and hope she turns up safely soon!

Thanks! I'll post updates as they happen.
