Griffy Is Still Lost, Still Being Sought!

As of Friday night, it had been five weeks since the accident from which Griffy ran. That's a lllloooonnnngggg time for the little guy's family to be without him and not knowing where he is, and at times, if he even survived the snow storms or the traffic or whatever else is out there.

Sightings since the snow storms, and resulting tracks in which a trained tracking dog has picked up and followed Griffy's scent, tell us that he is alive and relatively well, moving around and even running. We hope his running is not in true terror, but just a reaction to someone seeing him and calling out to him, since he right now may see pursuers as predators.

From the information we've gotten, we know that Griffy -- who started out his journey between Little River Turnpike and Braddock Road (in Annandale VA), has crossed over to the other side of both of those busy roads, and back. He started out just east of Heritage, and he has traveled well east of Backlick. Through it all, he's held on to his collar and tags, but he has now missed two haircuts (he is normally cut monthly, and was due for a cut the day after he went missing.) He's missed five baths now, and we're guessing he'll be looking rough and matted when he's finally found.

Griffy's famly doesn't have many pictures of him, and we are now using a picture of another Brussels Griffon in a sign that will be displayed on Little River Turnpike today. We need to reach people that are seeing Griffy and can report where they've seen him. We need to go get him, and take him home.
