ViVi
Today I received the following update: Forwarded with permission ~~ permission to forward UPDATE AS OF WEDNESDAY EVENING, 15 MARCH 2006 There was another sighting of Vivi around noon today in the park close to the apartment building where she was seen on Saturday night. A woman saw Vivi trotting along and followed her at a distance (didn?t chase her) for some time, meanwhile calling Bonnie Folz on her cell phone. Bonnie as well as Rosa, Tina and a few other volunteers came to the location very quickly, but the woman had lost sight of Vivi at that point. This sighting explains why nobody in the apartment building called, as we were hoping yesterday. If that was indeed Vivi in the building, the person she was with at that time may only have given her some food, not realized who she was and let her go. Several volunteers have begun to search the park, which adjoins a huge greenbelt, with no success. A group of fanciers, led by Beth Thompson in Seattle, have offered to hire and finance yet another pet detective with search dogs who could come to NY by Friday. We are overwhelmed by their generosity. They are trying to organize the practical details of this search right now. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain, so we can only thank them. We now know that Vivi is loose again, but it seems to me that if she is no longer afraid or panicking she might recognize some of the familiar voices. Jil, her fianc? Rick (whom Vivi loves), Paul and I are all ready to go back to NY again and continue searching this weekend. One of the pet detectives we are talking to tells us that both we and the volunteers have to back off for a while, however, so we are holding off flying back until further notice. It is very encouraging that there have been three separate sightings of Vivi in Bayside or Flushing within the last few days, and that these have been independently confirmed by the tracking dogs. This indicates that Vivi is sticking around in the same general area and not roaming as far as she did earlier, and it also seems she is willing to let herself be seen more often. We hope this means that she will be caught soon and that this ordeal will finally be over. I apologize for not being able to respond to email. There are over 1000 emails in my Vivi ?In? box now and it will be some time before I have time to deal with them. My apologies for this and thanks for all your good wishes. Bo |
