Most of you know that on July 2, my dog Petey disappeared from our backyard near Floyd and Ellwood, right next to Carytown. Almost two weeks ago, we started getting Petey sightings on Midlothian Turnpike. Apparently, the area near Cloverleaf Mall is infamous as a spot where animal thieves discard stolen animals. Since July 14, we’ve had sightings almost every day but no matter how many times we go over to Midlo, we’re either too late or just out of luck.

So here’s what I’m asking, if you by some chance are driving along Midlothian Turnpike between Cloverleaf Mall and Providence Rd, please keep an eye out for a little Boston Terrier. Petey is 10 years old and would normally weigh in around 16 pounds. Folks have said he seems to be doing ok but is skittish when approached. He’s almost always been seen on the south side (Cloverleaf side) of Midlothian Turnpike. If you think you see him, please call me (398-0123). Tomorrow (7/26) I’ll be out on Midlothian on my bike putting up flyers and keeping an eye out for him most of the day. We really miss him and want him back ASAP!

Thanks everyone. :)

Oh and we’re offering a reward.

Hey Richmond, Va!

My dog Petey has gone missing.
Petey is a male 10 year old Boston Terrier. He weighs about 16 pounds and is very friendly. He’s never been out of our backyard without a leash so it’s totally out of his character to wander off. We live west of the boulevard between Floyd and Ellwood avenues near Nansemond. If you see him, call me at 358-2953 (home), 398-0123 (mobile) or 804-286-4250 (skype).
