A woman called today who saw a dog matching Leo's description yesterday morning - in Arlington. Her backyard has a view into Douglas Park and she saw an unattended dog trotting along. After it nagged her for a while that the dog was unattended, she went to the internet and found the blog with the pictures. So while she can't guarantee it, there are enough pictures to compare the dog she saw to that we are ready to focus on the area of Douglas Park in Arlington. Given how mobile Leo seems to be from last Friday's tracking session, it's no surprise he is now 2 miles northwest of where he started.
And we need swift action -- today if anyone is available, tonight if you're not available until tonight. We need to get fliers up in the area there, as there are none yet. We'll work with the caller to get a feeding station on her property, but also want to look at other possible spots to put feeding stations around that area. If we get enough people out this evening, some canvassing of the neighbors may bring us more sightings; definitely talk to people while fliering if you can flier.
So if you can participate this afternoon or this evening, please email me right away. I may not be able to respond immediately if you are not available until this evening, but I will respond as quickly as possible.
(Don't be fooled by my calm demeanor -- I'm VERY excited!!!)
Thanks to the folks running the Douglas Park Yahoo Group for posting Leo's blog information! (Can you get a notice on your HOA's website in case Leo travels into your neighborhood?)

I sent an email to all south Arlington civic associations. Arlington Heights has posted already. I will call Alexandria and Arlington shelters tomorrow and post. - Sue

When you talk to Alexandria and Arlington, ask them if they know about Leo. He has been reported missing to each of them, but I don't know if each and every staff member or volunteer knows of each and every missing dog reported.
