Actually, I have 2 new friends on my facebook, one from my town and one from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Both have shelties who ran at around the same time, one gone for 5 1/2 months, the other for 7 months. The one that was gone for 7 months had no sightings for over 6 months, finally contacted a communicator in Halifax. The communicator looked into the eyes of a picture of this dog, and apparently was confused, she saw TWO shelties, BOTH near golf courses, she didn't know about the other one missing. Turns out, she was exactly on, both were found very near the golf courses in their own communities. I have actually contacted this communicator, she has 'seen' him, but to date hasn't had any luck really locating him, she had a general area, and it is the area where I think he went through when going from my parents home to Falmouth. I actually emailed her last night, haven't talked to her in awhile, so hoping maybe she can help narrow it down again.
A few nights ago, a woman on Halewood Drive in Falmouth (near the other sightings) heard an unfamiliar bark through the night, and yesterday morning my friends brother may have seen him in Falmouth, but by the time he turned his truck around to get another look, the dog was gone. So I know he is still out there, and I am 100% certain he is in the Falmouth area, but narrowing it down is a huge undertaking, would really like to know where he is bedding down at night so I can start baiting that particular area, then trap him.
Don't worry about giving me unusual ideas! At this point I am open to anything!
