Griffy Is Still Lost

The track on Thursday night showed us that Griffy is traveling more than we were assuming he was traveling. But we do believe he is looping back around to the area he was lost from. He's going in normally high traffic areas, but he may be doing it overnight when there is no traffic. During the track on Thursday night, volunteers spoke with a man that had seen Griffy 2 nights earlier, while he was working the night shift -- Griffy walked right past him. This was near where Little River and Columbia Turnpikes meet.

Something that the track showed us is that Griffy is smart enough to find cover in places we might not think of. The tracking dog found a heavy scent pool under someone's deck, meaning he may have spent a night there. We don't believe he is sitting in the middle of a field allowing snow to fall around him while he's buried in it. He has probably found a small space that his 18 lb body can fit into so that he is not quite as exposed to the elements as we might imagine.

The inclement weather that started yesterday has been severe enough to have prevented more than a very few people from being able to get out to continue fliering. Today, Gail is using the internet today to try to reach people. Below is a posting to WUSA 9's wall:

This is as good a use of any for this frustrating time when we are snow bound!
