My girlfriend and I live on a 20 acre property out in the country about 20 minutes outside of Nashville. We have two dogs, Oscar and Bear. Oscar is 3 years old and Bear is a year old (Oscar's son). Both of them have been roaming the property since they we're just a couple of months old. They've never left the property for this long of a period. We've had times where they'd be gone for a day or two, but show right back up later on. Sunday, July 15th was the last time I saw them. I didn't think anything of it until Wednesday night of that week when I was laying down for bed. Thursday I went out to look for them, but neither of them showed up. Ever since then I've called, and searched for them every day. These dogs are really apart of the family. They're the first dogs that we have raised all by ourselves, so they both have a special place in our hearts.
I've called the pound and put them on a missing dog list, asked near by neighbors, searched very inch of the property for them or they're bodies. I've thought of so many possibilities such as maybe a dog being in heat and they went and camped her, but I think by now they would of been back. I worry that maybe they were attacked by some coyotes, but we don't really have that kind of problem around here. Maybe someone called Animal Control because they were off the property, but no luck on that either. It just breaks my heart when my 3 year old asks "Wheres Oscar and Bear dad?". I just say I don't know buddy.
I've prayed to the lord that if they're out there to please bring them home if possible, if something has happened to them, let me know in some way lord.
During the day it's not so bad because my mind is busy, but once things settle down (lunch break, drive on the way home, bed time, dinner, etc) they own my mind. It really makes for a depressed kind of household. As of today, I've almost accepted that they will probably be not coming back for whatever reason. I still never lose the hope that maybe one day they'll be back out of the blue for awhile, but reality is starting to set in.
I don't really have any particular reason to post this, but I just need to get this off my chest. Really puts get you stressed out and by the end of the day I'm ready to just break down and cry. All I ask is to just pray..
