Ollie Update

Still no sign of Ollie. I called the Animal Control people and went door to door to my neighbors yesterday afternoon. Everyone was very sympathetic, but no one has seen Ollie. One couple from down the street even got on their four wheel ATV (all terrain vehicle) and rode through the neighborhood looking for her.

I try to think of what might have happened, and for the life of me, I can't make sense of it. It's not like she could see the open gate and make a dash for it. Ollie got around by bumping into things and a lot of trial and error. My best guess right now (unless she turns up somehow in the next couple of days) is that she was snatched by a bobcat or coyote from the back yard.

48 Hours is a TV show with the premise that after 48 hours the likelihood of solving a crime greatly diminishes. I think after 48 hours it will be very unlikely that we will see Ollie again.

We were so sorry to hear about Ollie's mysterious disappearance. Please keep us updated.

It's so shocking and devastating. This seems harder to handle than had she just died at home. We'd never have guessed this one after 17 years.
