Tracking with PGPT

10:50pm -- trying to prepare an update . . .  Sam has Brando out trailing Griffy's scent and he's now a long way from where he starte . . .  check back . . .

OK, so to close the gap between the last update from very late Tuesday night . . .

A food & scent station had been set up in Ossian Park after Griffy's good friend, Paul from the Annandale Pet Spa, had spoken to someone that saw him there. Then late on Tuesday evening, neighbors in the area that had seen a flier were in the park, and they heard tags jingling, saw tracks in the snow that could have been Griffy's and heard one small faint bark that might have been Griffy. But the feeding and scent stations have been checked since then and there has been no activity.

So with no confirmed sightings, we decided to take advantage of the fact that Sam, with Pure Gold Pet Trackers, was relatively close to our area, and we decided to bring her out to confirm or deny that Griffy is in the area.

She arrived at the meeting place near the park at 8:30pm on Thursday, which was over 2 1/2 hours ago. They were still tracking when I hung up the phone a few minutes ago. For too much of the track, I wasn't looking at a map, but a little while ago, I was getting a play by play, and Griffy had traveled a LONG way from where he started. Last I heard, he was in the parking lot of the Honey Pig, where Daniels Ave & Maple Pl meet . . .  now they are on Evergreen Lane and Alpine Drive . . . now they are back accross Little River Turnpike, almost to John Marr -- where they will walk in front of the Annandale Pet Spa.

12:45 and they are still going; they went back accross 236 to the Giant . . .  to the Fuddruckers . . .

Check back for the latest . . .

Wow, Griffy sure is a wanderer. I know where Evergreen Lane is and it's far from where he may have been yesterday. He's crossing some busy streets but hopefully at times where there isn't much traffic. Hoping that you'll find him soon.

Oh I'm so thankful that Sam & Salsa could come out. We are keeping fingers & paws crossed her, that Griffy is safe & sound soon!
