Sunday Sharing - The Road Trip Edition

Let's pikhture Rocky safe in the AM - this was a shot at 5:48am Saturday - shot from The Subway parking lot where we gathered - this pikh WAS further down in the post but we made it disappear - so we made it materialise again HERE - my Virgo Mom is twitching but that khould also be the lakhk of sleep

How I wish Norwood's Mom's dream had khome true - he shared her dream of Tula and Rocky playing together

These are EVFURRYWHERE we walked and hung out!
******

This was me just before 6:30pm Friday

Harrisburg

South towards TMI and HIA

We did have a good omen as we khrossed the bridge - one of the PF parents and one of the PF boys flew just ovFUR The Xterra - Mom was THRILLED!Pondering along I81/I78 as to how Rocky is doing Sunsetting between Allentown and Easton along I78

We arrived in Little Falls/Woodland Park at 9:30 - and went to hangout at The Subway Khommand Post

We met Amy AND Laska's Mom Sam - I also got to meet one of Amy's Sibes - appropriately named ROCKY - I also got to meet Amy's furry khute human pup Andrew - he was a year old in May - what a sweet AND helpful boy!

It was funny when we met Sam - Mom was telling the lady in the Prius she had transported Rocky from Hagerstown to Harrisburg so we khame to see if we khould help - hoping maybe he'd rekhognise The Xterra AND to let them have the towel he had been on the most during the trip - the nice lady asked, "Phyllis? I'm Sam" - it was one of those OMD moments!

Since Rocky had been in the Xterra for a period of time, our furst hour or so was spent driving around areas he had been seen previously - I saw khats and a deer - others spotted a skunk!

We all spread out in an attempt to minimise the number of humans khamped out akhross from the area he frekhwented the most - AND his foster mom Debbie finally arrived from Wilson NC - she was unfurtunate enough to have nothing but gridlokhked traffikh khoming up I95 on a Friday Working my khorner - Mom and I hung out with a nice guy named Ray that lived on Long Island - he had TWO of 'me' - Storm and Heineken (Heineken had already been named when he was adopted and they didn't want to change his name)

Rocky was spotted just before 3am fur a bit but got spooked and ran off - we were already tukhked in The Xterra as to not disrupt their plans

I alternately rested and watched with Mom

It was furry hard work!

Bakhk to sleep

At 5:30, Mom saw Rocky trotting in front of this nail salon - THESE SHOTS WERE TAKEN WHEN THE LIGHT WAS BETTER SO ALL KHAN SEE HIS AREA

She got out and softly khalled Rocky -and khalled Amy - who then khame around the khorner of the building following him - she told Mom to stay - and like a good human Mom sat down on the khurbHe then went up this street (Lackawanna) - the other street you saw is McBride - we then lost sight of him but think he went to the left short of the bridge - turning right would have put him bakhk to his safe place akhross from The Subway -

UPDATE: the sekhtion the left side of the pikh - not far from where woo see the khar is about where he was holed up!!!

The rear of the parking lot area you see to the right of the nailshop and to the left of the commercial building you see is where he's seen most of the timeThis is a shot to the other side of McBride - UPDATE: THIS WAS THE FRONT PART TO THE AREA WHERE HE WAS SNAGGED!A Siberian Mind Meld fur an Akita?!?The sparrows working the phloof I've left on Khyra's Jersey Khorner - they love their new imported from Pawsylvania nest khushioningMore napping before we hit the roadWondering why he wouldn't want to meet meWhilst waiting at the light after getting gas in TrexlertownPaws khrossed fur better news SOON

I'm going to let Mom finish the post

Thanks Khyra

AND THANKS TO ALL OF YOU that have left messages here and/or FB - it was a rewarding yet frustrating trip - as Khyra already shared, we left at 6:30 Friday night - we left New Jersey at 7:30 Saturday morning - we got back here about 10:45 - traffic was a bit heavier between Allentown and Harrisburg than it had been going to NJ - I'm glad we went - but so wish we could have helped more - I was glad to see Rocky again - even if it wasn't as I had hoped it might be - with him giving me kisses again

It was quite an experience - it was so nice to meet some incredible people that are so devoted and dedicated to helping our very special animal friends -

I did put all the pics together into a Photobucket Slideshow - the pics you see here are there too but it was jut easier to upload all of them -

I might have to hit the 'Mark All As Read' GR button again as I have TWO transports today - I hit the road around 6am for a Hagerstown to Harrisburg 8am leg for The Last Resort Rescue THEN head right back down to Hagerstown for the after lunch Hagerstown to Harrisburg leg - which will be to York again - the folks that live in Stewartstown have the leg to Allentown so we'll meet by The York County SPCA again -for Rotts 'n Pups - THEIR run this weekend is in honour of Rocky! I couldn't say no to that...now could I?

SO, we won't be around much - please accept our apologies in advance!

Saturday Khaturday Sharing

Norwood is sooooo furry pawsome with his i(Lily)Pad
Tula Monstah was kind enough to send this along

and this to remind Rocky The Xterra was a good thing

There were no sightings Thursday night/Friday early morning but then at 8:38 Mom's khrakhkberry got a message he had been seen in the last 10-15 minutes - and then another message arrived a bit before 10:00 that he was right in the area where one of the food stations/trap areas had been set - but he ran off before he khould be rekhaptured - SOOOOO as you read this post, we are there OR on our way bakhk from there -

Prakhticing my looking fur Rocky
Visualising him just ovFUR there

Thursday night we saw the moon rising

So I had Mom zoom in on it
******
When we got bakhk to the house, look who was waiting nearby fur a photoshoot

Butterskhotch - and her furiend Firefly

Doing her best evil khritter look

Then BroFur khame ovFUR fur a turn

He's on the left; she's on the right

OMD! Mom touched her again

Ha Ha Khyra!

He was doing his best sultry glare

Sorry 'bout the slightly out of fokhus shots - this time of night is tough to shoot - in fakhk there were more pikhs but they were way too wonky to use

Doing her best dog imitation!

*

He's sharpening his khlaws!

Then turns on his sweet look

We did hit the road a bit after 6pm Friday - and one of the last things we did was mark as read what was in our Google Reader - we expekht to be away form the khomputer fur most of the night and day - and when we do return to Pawsylvania, one of us will need to grab a nap!

Thanks again fur your understand AND support fur Rocky!

Hugz&Khysses,

FrEYEday SkEYEday Free Fur All Power of the Paw Edition

THANK WOO NORWOOD!!!!!!!!

This has to be the day we get Rocky bakhk
Maybe we khan get this 'Rocky' to help


Or this 'Rocky'

Mom khaught me with khrakhkberry doing 'The Paws' fur Rocky - I am going to let Mom paw fur a bit:

Thanks Khyra

Once again, Rocky is being seen - but has not been snagged yet - the group of rescuers and resources continues to grow - and a reward fund has been established -

To say there was a constant exchange of emails and ideas on Thursday would be the understatement to end all understatements - kind of like Khyra's tail is phloofy!

Feeding stations were established - some 'traps' are being set - with volunteers being recruited to watch and staff them - FB friends have shared info - one of them forwarded the situation to a Malamute friend of hers - WELL, SMALL WORLD AND ALL, it turns out that friend manages an apartment complex on one of the streets Rocky has been seen on - THANKS PATTY for sending it along!

Plans are in place to possibly even get Mikey and Sam out to help since they had travelled together - Marcie is a bit further away plus she kept her distance from her fellow passengers - although Rocky REALLY REALLY did want to share the front seat with her -

I've been wrestling and pondering over the past 24 hours with going there too - he may still recognise The Xterra - I'd hope he'd still recognise my voice given the 70 of 75 miles of constant petting whilst being kissed - PLUS, the vehicle still has the towels and sheet with his/their smells on them - NOTE TO SELF: SEE, THERE WAS A REASON YOU DIDN'T POP THEM IN THE WASH YET - and I'd like to think Khyra could look enough like Sam to catch Rocky's eye -

As of this writing/posting, I'm fairly sure the two of us will hit the road Friday after the Harrisburg afternoon/early evening rush hour - Google Maps shows 190 miles to the B&N - with 3hours28minutes travel time - which is consistent with the 3-1/2 hours I've been saying it would be -

Of course, I'd like it all to be a moot point with him being recovered before then BUT I do believe we will hit the road for the wilds of New Jersey!

Once again, thanks very very much for the support, suggestions, and understanding!

Now I'll turn it back over to KhyraTHANKS MOM!

I will even share your skEYE pikhs from the week

This week's panoramikh shot - Mom looked UP and snagged this one - and here is THE LINK FOR THIS WEEK'S PHOTOBUKHKET SLIDESHOW!!!

Hugz&Khysses,
