I received 2 calls about a found chihuahua in Astoria that was given to a woman in a building up there. I needed to find this woman and make sure she did not take Myrtle in as her own. I think I will become an FBI agent. My team consisting of Liz, Jim and my new friend Audres, and I tracked down 2 leads and knocked on a woman's door until she answered. She did lose her chihuahua a few days ago and it was returned to her, she said. "Let me go get her." She brought the little chihuahua over and it wasn't Myrtle. She looked at lot like Myrtle, but not my baby. The woman was in tears, tell me she would pray for me.
Check out Audres and his sweet, sweet pup. He helped me track this woman down so we could make sure this wasn't Myrtle.
I am meeting the most loving, helpful and generous people during this whole endeavor. Thank you all. Dog people, you are crazy and awesome and I love you. Thank you all who are out there on the streets fliering – I hope someone is keeping her warm and just hasn't seen a flier yet.
I suppose we should keep looking in Greenpoint, Bushwick, maybe she even made it over the bridge to Sunnyside. Fliers are going to get her found, but also, how can I get in contact with all the industrial businesses up there in North Greenpoint? I tried to call and flyer around those businesses, left some in mailboxes, tried to talk to as many people working there as possible.
***However, there is still the story of a woman who told a pet store clerk in Astoria that she found a chihuahua and might keep it. I do not know the color of that chihuahua so, not a great lead.
I see these posters every day on my way home. Hoping you find poor lost little Myrtle!
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteI forwarded the poster to my boyfriend, who works in one of the old industrial places along newtown creek, asked him to forward it to people he works with. Will ask him to print a flyer & put it in the entryway to the bldg so others can see it.
ReplyDeleteHave you had any more leads on myrtle? I hope she's the one they found and brought to BARC. Dont give up.
