My 15 yo dog is missing and its killing me
I've been trying to not panic the last day or so but I don't really know what to do at this point. My 15 yo paperanian went missing around 5:00 a.m. yesterday and we've been looking since about 7:30am yesterday. Myself and multiple neighbors have patrolled the neighborhood looking for him, checked the local shelter, put flyers in mailboxes all over our neighborhood and the neighborhood across the street. I put up an alert in a lost pets service for our area. I even fell for a pretty obvious scam service that pretends to help find lost pets.
I'm a wreck. I've had like three crashouts in the last 24 hours. It's so hot outside, I just feel terrible that he's out there.
I haven't talked about it much but he's declined a lot in the last year or so. He can barely see, just kinda eats and sleeps. I know we don't have much time left with him but this is just terrible no matter how old. My hope is that someone around here saw him and brought him inside. Hoping the flyers help reach them if that happened.
People keep asking what they can do and I kinda don't know what to tell them at this point. Just waiting for someone to call or to miraculously see him on my 1000th loop around the neighborhood. This is torture.
