Status of the Search for Griffy

While the hope that Griffy will be found is still intact, the kind of hopeful optimism and enthusiasm that is needed to keep the search active and working on a daily basis has faded with the passage of time since the last sighting. If you've ever lost a pet that stayed missing for weeks or months, you probably know how hard it is to continue searching when there have been no sightings for weeks.

Also at play for Gail (Griffy's mom) are a couple of other priorities that were not issues for the first couple of months of the search. So, even if it weren't so hard for her to keep her spirits up, there is less time to now that she is able to devote each day to the search for Griffy. Here are words of appreciation expressed by Gail on the Find Griffy Facebook Group, on April 1st:

"I just wanted to thank all of the volunteers who have cared, supported and aided me in the search for Griffy. You are all very special people. I will be forever greatful. I know in my heart we have done everything possible to find him and bring him home. Please keep my little guy in your mind and heart. Maybe... someday he and I will be reunited,then my heart/soul will be whole once again. Griffy I will always love you. To whoever has my fuzzy son--PLEASE love and take excellant care of him. If you do have a conscience and you have a change of heart deciding to return Griffy to me, I will be greatful and never ask any questions. Remember- there is a sizeable reward for Griffy's return."

Many of the volunteers that were able to assist with the search in various ways (including fliering and other outreach activities) during February and March are still available to respond to sightings if there are any.

Any help -- of any kind -- that is offered by readers of this blog is appreciated; just contact Gail directly.

If there are any more sightings, and certainly if Griffy is found, this blog will be updated right away.
