This was today's update.... March 14, 2006 Vivi -- the gap closes Vivi search organizer Bonnie Folz calls to say that there has been another Vivi sighting -- this time in Bayside, a residential community about two miles east of where the lost whippet was spotted in recent days. Bonnie said that shortly after midnight on Monday morning, a resident watching from an apartment window at 73rd Avenue and Bell Boulevard saw an unleashed white and brindle dog matching Vivi's description walking along the street. A man who did not appear to be with the dog walked by, and the dog followed behind him into the courtyard of the Windsor Park Apartments. The man said he did not see the dog reappear from the courtyard. Volunteers, including Vivi's co-owner Paul Lepiane, spent Monday night ringing doorbells at the apartment complex and posting flyers. Bonnie says approximately one-third of the residents were not home. Paul is return home to California this afternoon. Bonnie asks local volunteers to head to the area to post flyers (available at the VetPort at JFK, Cargo Area C, building 189) and search the neighborhood. The apartment complex is adjacent to Cunningham Park, and Crocheron Park is not far away. Flyer postings in those areas would be helpful, Bonnie says. For those who are out of state but want to help with the Vivi effort, Bonnie asks that they please contact local business and officials in the area to raise awareness of Vivi's presence, with a particular focus on those companies whose employees spend a good deal of their day driving or walking around the community. Among her suggestions: police precincts, courier services, veterinarians, groomers, pet stores, UPS, Fed Ex, landscapers, parks department, St. John's University, local businesses, Bayside Chamber of Commerce, local schools, car and livery services, tow truck drivers, etc. Bonnie asks that volunteers please coordinate this among themselves on this blog to make sure their efforts do not overlap. ----------------------------- Ginger Cleary He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself. ~Thomas Paine Rome, GA http://www.rihadin.com/ -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Joan Fox Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 9:51 PM To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Whippet lost ..found in Ohio Not sure of the details yet...
