Dear Kat,
Yes! I would love to drive there myself! Unfortunately, I have no one to accompany me and I don't think it's prudent of me to go alone.
I am seeking the help of the kindness of strangers, which has been a blessing, but has been a difficult thing to do. Depending on others doesn't
always get you the results you want.
I am not trying to have "others do the work," I am simply trying to use my resources I have available to me at this time.
Thanks for you suggestion though.
P.S.
By all means, I would not want someone to go out of their way, but so many people drive the Baja and drive right throught this area, it just makes
sense that someone might be able to have a look. Besides, I am offering a reward, so their efforts would be compensated for.
Amy

Bajawodd,
Have you ever lost a loved one? Pickle IS a member of our family. He is an innocent, unique character with so much personality and love. I feel I have
lost a child and I don't think those parents ever give up until there is reason to. He has not been found, therefore he has not been found dead. Do
you think I haven't thought this might be a possibility? I just can't allow myself to go there. Personally, I feel your coment was unnecessary. I have
been blessed by so many wonderful strangers, offering their help in the search. And I just couldn't do it with out them. Thank you!
Almost daily I am contacted by people sharing similar stories where they have found their loved one months later! Living at ranches with their tags
still attached!
Call me crazy, stupid, whatever, but I will not give up hope. Because without hope, we have nothing. I have a hole in my heart that only Pickle can
fill.
Sincerly,
Pickle's Mom |
I have lost a number of pets in my lifetime. They range from a hamster to a canary to cats and dogs. I am not too proud to admit that I have often
cried upon their demise. We humans just live longer than do our domesticated pets. I am not very heartened by a supposed sighting down near Jesus
Maria. That is a very long distance from where you lost Pickle.
That said, my advice to you is to visit your local animal shelter and acquaint yourself with the beautiful beasts that are one step away from their
demise. Maybe take home a couple of those sweet, affectionate creatures. If and when Pickle shows up back home, he'll be more than happy to find he's
got a family. |
Well, since you don't know me, I guess I should explain that my whole life I have rescued animals. Of the 8 years I lived in Baja, I volunteered at
the shelters & fundraisers, fostered and rescued countless dogs and cats, of which Pickle was one of. He has 2 dogs and 2 cats waiting at home for
him. So, another dog is not what I am looking for.
Thank you for your suggestion though.

How about if those who can't help and can't express basic human compassion simply shut TF up? 
Amy, I'm much too far away to be of any use but hopeful for a happy ending!
Kate |
Amen! Thank you Kate! Your warm wishes and positive thinking are just fantastic!

You are going beyond what a lot of people would do with your efforts Amy. Ignore the idiotic comments and don't give up. I believe your dog will be
found.

Amy, Do not listen to the blatherings of the insensitive on this board. What makes us human is the ability to dream and to hope. Without hope we are,
all of us, as lost as Pickle is right now. As silly as it is....I don't know you or Pickle, but I know what it is like to love....you can't just
easily replace a pet with another....they are our kids.....each is it's own character and cannot be replaced. I still have hope in my heart that
Pickle will be found...alive and full of kisses for his waiting mom.
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

Pickle's Mommy ~ again I am sending thoughts out to Pickle that he somehow finds his way back to you. I can NOT believe that there are Nomads out
there that are being so, well, mean!! I certainly hope that they don't need any kind of assistance in the near future ~ even kind words of hope in a
desperate moment. As Nomads, we should all rely and hope for the kindness of strangers...that is one of the beautiful things about Baja!
When our mutts went astray in Abreojos, my kids and I spent the better part of the afternoon looking for them...thankfully another camper had spotted
them in town and brought them back to us. We didn't ask for help, but it came to us.
If there are some Nomads that do not wish to help, they obviously do not have to. But for goodness sakes, Poor Amy is not asking us all to drive up
and down Baja looking for Pickle, just giving us the heads up if we happen to be there to keep our eyes peeled. I wish we were going sooner so that we
could help look, but for the moment, all we can do is hope!

Amy,
You are a Saint in how you have handled some of the comments here. We will be passing through the area where you lost Pickles this Friday, so you'll
have some more eyes looking.

Thank you morgaine7, LancairDriver, grace59, bajafam, tripledigitken and all the others for your support!
Ken, thank you for keeping your eyes peeled!
He may be at the military check south of Cataviņa...
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Let me know if you hear of anything.
Thanks so much!
Amy

This is the first close call!
If anyone is in the area would you PLEASE have a look around? Maybe ask at the check point?
I have upped the reward to $500, if this helps.
Thank you for your support!
Pickle's Mom

I sure hope it is Amy... but that checkpoint is about 100 miles south of the accident location. Maybe someone picked up the dog at El Pedregoso and
gave him to the military at El Tomatal junction?

I am not being mean.
Amy is taking advantage of good people.
She lives in Todos Santos.
She does not work.
She should go get her dog.
This is the responsible thing to do.
She is playing the victum.
People love to have people feel sorry for them.
By not looking for her dog she has condemed it to death in the desert or
a new life as a mexican dog always searching for food and water.
This is her dog.
Amy needs to search for her dog herself.
I will bet there are not 1000 people living in the area she lost the dog.
No excuses.
Go get the dog

KAT54,
Amy searched for days for the dog... can you read, she told us the story of the accident near El Pedregoso?
Basically, the dog is gone... In a rare chance of hope, she has only asked others driving by to keep an eye out for it.
In 2003, we came across a dog, 9 miles east of Cataviņa on the road to Mision Santa Maria... with ID tags. 'Inky' got loose and ran off while here
owners were camping next to Hwy. 1. They spent days looking for her, before finally moving on. We found Inky... and someone could very well find
Pickles! It is worth asking.

Didja do what Jesse should do for his lost cats? Offer a big reward? Big rewards are rewarded with big rewards.
I havn't kept up with this thread, but it seems it's gone over the edge of understanding and goooey help stuff.
Too bad.

I think all of us 'normal' Nomads know you are GOOD Amy... There is a small group of DRAMA seekers on here, that bash/ attack/ counter anything just
to get a rise... I usually play their game longer than I should...
It is just hard to believe such ignorance or hate exists on a place where we come because we all love Baja!
As with politics, I may not always agree with what a Nomad has to say... But, I will defend that person's right to say it!

KAT54- Aren't you the person who has to wear the pointy foil hat?
You have made some very ignorant and close to slanderous comments about Amy T. From the inaccurate information you have posted, you give the
impression to other Nomads that you personally know her. It is a disservice for anyone to make comments about anyone without having the facts, and you
sir or madam do not have them!

if it was my dog lost out there, i would go there and look, probably not go home until finding pooch.
amy, why were you not there ASAP looking until you found the dog? how many days did spend on location looking?
sadly, much time has passed and stray city dog in remote desert is probably in doggy heaven.

You cannot know what you "would do" or could do until you are in a certain situation....and I am kind enough to hope that none of you ever have to be
in a heart breaking situation like this. It is sad how cruel and bitter some people can be.
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!
