Angus is missing

It's OK, Randi - as I said, emotions run high on topics like this. And the CL post itself wasn't especially clear (I had to read it through a couple times just to make sure that I had the right sense of it). I just wanted to make sure that things stay on-topic.

I know that Janet has been feeling overwhelmed and is very busy right now. As close as we feel to each other on the Forums, the fact remains that there are just things that we don't know about the situation (for example, the extent of Amber's involvement). There is only so much that we can do - especially because Janet reserves the right (legitimately) to fill us in on the details.

And there is so much poor Janet and Amber just don't know. I am in the middle of swapping (hopefully) contracts and people ask do you have anything? The answer is that I will be gone when I do and in the meantime I can only speculate. Just as we can speculate, but will not know until Angus is home (hopefully soon). Then that will be shared I am sure yet in the meantime efforts can be made and there is no way of knowing they paid off (until they do). Frustrating for anyone here, but a gazillion times worse for Amber, Janet and family I am sure. Give your Sheltie an extra hug tonight y'all cause we can (and should) while keeping hope and praying for the safe return of Angus (and Ruffles)
 
Is anyone sure that the dog being listed for sale IS Angus? Let's face it, to the average person most shelties look pretty much alike. (Ruffles could almost be a twin to my Ainsley)

Maybe the person saw a picture of a tri sheltie for sale on iwanna and jumped to the conclusion that it was Angus. While the owner may notice the differences immediately, most people would not.

Perhaps the person who posted on CL mistakenly thought she was doing the right thing for the dog by suggesting that if someone found him he might be better off with them in a good home than with someone who just wanted to sell him.

After all, we can't know what goes on in another person's thoughts or heart.

Let's focus on getting Angus home by doing whatever we can, even if all we can do to help is pray.

Just my opinion.
 
Wow, emotions are running really high here - we're all sad and frustrated by the lack of progress for finding Angus (and Ruffles) but let's not turn on each other. Lots of folks here are doing anything they can think of to help in a concrete way, as well as support each other, and Janet.

Let's not rush to judgment of Amber and Janet. We just aren't in their shoes, and I myself am sure Janet is just sick over this situation.

Let's just try and carry on in a positive manner, doing what each person feels they can do. Pointing fingers isn't the best approach, IMHO.

Michele PLEASE READ TOFU PUPS POST!!!!!!!! People here are jumping to all sorts of conclusions

I think everyone needs to take a step back and re-group here...Everyone is acting on JANETS behalf and its time JANET steps up and states what SHE would like done!!!! Again im going

to re-iterate my post from last night...its nice everyone is going all out and helping but unless YOU are physically there searching chances of finding him are slim to none....Especially if

your relaying on the AC or the Shelters...its just not going to happen they are understaffed and overwhelmed by their day to day activites!!!!!!!

I think we all just feel lost not knowing what else we can do . I just feel so helpless that I can't help these poor pups get home. It just breaks my heart knowing they are out there and no one caring for them, that we are aware of. I 'm crying right now just thinking about how lost and helpless I feel. If this was my Kia I would be devistated and would be looking for her day and night. I would hope I had all the support and prayers that I needed as well. I personally don't like seeing or hearing of any animal lost or hurt. Heck I stop and cried like a baby when I hit a poor little chipmunck.:cry:
 
Just wondering...but this picture of Angus on the iwanna site... Does anyone who know's Angus personally recognize the background? If not, it would represent a newer picture. Probably nothing.. Just something I was curious about..

http://www.hickoryiwanna.com/viewads/viewads.aspx?CategoryID=1151&main=general&start=300. It is Angus, but without reading the whole thing maybe it is a lost dog post accidently put in the for sale area. Wishing Angus and all lost sheltie safe and at home.:sadsmile:

Ok,my god,it is Angus~ I take it one must have an account to reply to this? I a on here,it's now 10pm,and i'm beat.I don't even have a clear enough head right now to create an account.

I am just hoping Janet is able to read these posts,especially this one.I did get phone numbers today,of the free papers circulated in the area that Angus was (or is in).

There is alot of emotion in the past threads,but right now,I hate it that both of these dogs are lost,I do,but we need to step back.Janet,with all due respect,hopefully you will post,and you are able to get with Amber,and possibly find out what is the sory with this Iwanna ad.
It's totally confusing,I'm lost as to why this dog is on there,unless it is a scam.

As much as we all want Angus & Ruffles safe,in thier own homes,I am at a loss here,as to what to do.I am not saying I'm stepping back,I'm waiting for possibly if Janet can post.I am going to try to give her call again tomorrow,and give her the phone numbers.

Sheltieboyz sent me the info,and I will pass them along. As to regards to Amber,well yes we have had our posts,but we're as frustrated as any owner.We just want some kind of response,thats all.There is no reason,that one cannot return phone calls,which have been plenty by Joy.

There is a HUGE possibility,that she may be lurking as a guest if she has time,keeping abreast of what is happining,and there is a good possibility if these ads are incorrect,it could be a guest as well,capitilizing on a frustrating situation.
There has been so much emotion today,I don't know what else I can do really.Hope & pray.
I have faith that Janet & Amber may be in touch.ToFu pup is correct,we need to respsect Janet & Amber.I'm at a loss right now. I have Amber's phone number,and almost called her,but right now,I can't.

That's Janet's porch,most definately.No mistaking it~
 
I've been watching this thread like many of you, feeling helpless and wishing and praying that Angus would be found. So many of you have done an incredible amount of work trying to help, searching resources, offering prayers...you are an amazing bunch. And Michele, you have gone over and above in your efforts.

At this point though, I want to second what Michele said. We are all at a distance, and trying to help is frustrating and not always effective. We have had no indication from Janet that she wants our help, is interested in our help, or even needs our help, and I think we all need to take a breath, step back and let Janet do what she has to do to find Angus. We can't.

She obviously has information about her friend Amber that we don't, and perhaps other things as well. We are second guessing in our hope to help find this lost dog. It is up to Janet, not us. You have all become so emotionally invested in this search that it is wonderful and heartwarming, but as Michele said, it's also exhausting and painful. Please take today to go pat your pups, go for a walk with them, or just relax and let this rest for a bit.

You folks are the most wonderful, caring community a Sheltie or a human could possibly have. God bless you all.
