Some other precious pictures of Elizabeth and friends. This week's update. We want to thank EPIC for giving us hope when their tracking dog found Elizabeth's trail, and for the cameras they put out. Unfortunately those failed to transmit due to the cold. There were no sightings of her on those. They told us to put out a warming station and a camera. We would not have known to do that. They reached out to the community in ways we never would have known to do. They created signs which we printed and put out and Michelle dropped everything late Friday evening even with guests from out of town, to run to Claremont when their was a verified sighting. We got home at 7 am. We added a different team Saturday and they have been on the case almost non-stop. We went with them and their five traps Saturday. We got home around 3 am. They stayed ALL night. We went with them Sunday night and they stayed until 1:30 am. I went last night and we all left at 1 am. They are already back in Claremont today. I am burying the lead here. But Elizabeth is alive. We have seen her with our own eyes. She is not emaciated. But she will no go into the trap. She is very interested in my clothing, but it is obvious that she is getting food from somewhere so she is not enticed by food in the traps. Please do NOT go to Claremont to search for her. We don't want anything to disrupt her routine. But THANK YOU so much for your prayers! And thank you to Teresa and Kelly of Tucker K9 Search and Rescue for the time they have invested in her case. They are two retired veterans and do most of their work pro bono.

Still searching. Trying to stay hopeful. The arctic blast we will be getting is going to be awful. We need a miracle.

Great Photography🥰❤️

Today's update: There have not been any more sightings of Elizabeth. Cameras only capture images if there is movement. At this point we are dependent on folks to see the posters and report seeing her. Wes and I had put up posters. Really nice people allowed us to put posters in their store windows. Our next step is to put larger posters specifically in the area she was seen, which is very open acreage.

Just finished our midnight hand feeding of the puppies. The girls and hubby are so dedicated!

These are the kind of comments I have to read in Paw Boost.

Go back when she is sighted Great people suggested a straw filled Bed. We also set up a camera . I am proud we made it to the right place before 5:30. Coming out is like leaving Sleeping Beauty’s castle. So I stepped bootlegs into the thorns and the ripped off my boots. Lily thought she had it out but iPhone flashlights are not military grade! Lily thought she had it but my next step said otherwise. I still cannot walk on that foot. But I will go back anywhere she is sighted.!

We don’t have any thing to report about Elizabeth today. We hope she finds the water proof shelter filled with straw and my clothes, but the cameras did not show anything since we put it out Thursday night.

No change about Elizabeth. Lily and I did go back in the area the search dog was stopped because we would have had to go on private land. took a rubber maid box with a lid and opening for an entrance. It has my clothes and straw. Food cannot be put out because there are coyotes. The cameras aren’t transmitting well. Epic says it is the cold.

I cannot breath with our imagining Elizabeth in these sub freezing conditions plus snow. I barely made it without collapsing in the grocery store. We walked every step the tracking dog followed yesterday. We have spent more to find her, and we regret not one penny and gladly offer more to recover and save her, but FEMA housing funds end in two days in sub freezing temperatures with precipitation for our western NC victims. So many are still homeless. They lost everything. Half our home flooded and 30 HUGE fell, but we never had to move. We never lacked food or water. We lost sheet rock, carpet, clothes, books, shoes. Our extended family lost their Habitat home in Hawaii and every tool of their work. We personally know a Red Cross nurse who’s lost everything who FEMA paid $5400. I cannot process The tragedy of Precious Elizabeth. I cannot reconcile the humans who have not found the bodies of their family. I am so angry that our government let people die in the cold.

We really admire the dedication of Epic and the Claremont community. Please do not contact them unless you have actually seen Elizabeth. They are working tirelessly and we want them to be able to concentrate on the job they are doing on behalf of Elizabeth. Your interest and compassion have been overwhelming. Thank you so very much.

When you hear people criticize “breeders” for adoption fees, contemplate the last 48 hours of my life. Prim, once again, had a vet visit, X-ray, meds, etc., with the frightening news that she, once again, carried 10 babies. Last time, despite round the clock care, lost the majority. Delivered Saturday. Prescription meds, nutrition, time. Then Gypsy, similarly planned and cared for, went into labor last night and is just now finished. More suppliment weighing, feedings, monitoring. And later today we might have to decide to travel to put puppies on another momma dog. Which do you take? Who do you supplement? Who needs the vet? Do you have liver for liver water? The best replacement formula? How often do you need to wake up, weigh, feed? And you push with the moms when they push. You don’t breathe until the puppies breathe. Not to mention the never ending laundry, waterproofing pads. I’m so tired do I might be unwisely venting and will be embarrassed later. However, if I delete it, this is how we feel at this hour. And why we labor hard to be gracious when we answer the emails. The inquiries. The accusations. Folks, this is the first time since Christmas Eve I have slept in my own bed.
