The same dog who got into a scuffle with a porcupine last week has been missing since last night at the cabin, when I let her out one last time, before bed. She likely started chasing an animal, and either lost her way (doubtful), or died in the process. I’m no longer optimistic about the situation, given leaving far is not her style at all, and the likelihood she got picked up by someone is slim to none where I’m staying. She was not wearing her collar at the time… Nevertheless, I’ve spent 1 hour in the woods last night, and have been walking and driving around since 6am. I’ve left posters everywhere I could, talked to everybody I could, and called both the local dog pound and regional SPCA. As of now, there is no longer anything I can do but hope. Or start mourning… :(
