Sizzling Hot Sighting - Reston

rom Sue:

We just saw Tundie on the Reston National Golf Course, his second home, at 9:30 this morning! Mollie, our Westie, ran right up to him and greeted him. He was wagging his tail. But as soon as he saw Frank he walked away.

I circled around the course, keeping a very wide berth, hoping to turn him back toward the house but he turned off the cart trail and trotted into the Golf Course View townhouses.

It was definitely Tundie and he looked to be in good condition for the length of time he has been lost. He is not responding to any overtures: squatting, calling "here baby," " good boy," or any of the usual comfort or praise phrases. He was very wary but did not seem particularly fearful.
His doggy play group is out on the hill where he has played with them before -- we are hoping their familiar scents and sounds will keep him around.

We will light up the grill and throw on some steaks in a little bit to get the smell of food in the air and we set up a food station in an area he knows. If he is still here later today we will set up the trap tonight and pray.

He is so close to home it hurts!

Status as of Saturday Morning

From Sue:

Our last reported sighting was on Thursday 12/31 near Franklin Farm Village Shopping Center in Chantilly. We will be putting posters up in the area today. It is bitter cold and windy with several days of more of the same forecast. I hope he has found shelter if he remains in this new area, or that he has retreated to the safe harbor he used to weather the December snow storm.

I updated Craigslist today to reflect the new sighting, adding Chantilly to the location heading. The local HOA has been notified by the homeowner who had the sighting and this should help get the word out to the entire community. I will contact schools in the area first thing Monday so teachers and staff will be on the lookout for him. I am so very cold, I cannot bear to think how he must be suffering in this weather.

Update later Saturday morning:  Please be sure to read the comments from this and the previous update.
