Thanks very much to the folks that helped out yesterday and today in assorted ways to spread the word about Leo and his plight. The efforts are working, and I'm hearing from more people able to help in small ways. But there’s still so much uncovered ground, so we need lot more people that can participate.
Direct Mailing We’ve got people developing email distribution lists and fax lists for sending the flier in those quick and easy ways, and physical address lists for delivering the flier to some good spots that have no email or fax. And we’ve got people delivering the fliers to those spots and others. We need more of this, and we’re calling on anyone that can do some of this. Please post a comment (which also sends me an email) or email me directly if you can develop these address lists and/or make deliveries of the flier.
Internet Posting We've got people posting to the internet, and this is where we need a LOT more people helping. Do you know of any electronic bulletin boards you could post about Leo to? See the menu at the right, the "Other Links" section, the link to the Sample Bulletin Board Posting for Leo? That’s a posting that I put (hastily, I would add) on the ArlingtonDogs forum. You may encounter bulletin boards of this type that you could post to about Leo, to spread the word – please do so! (And if you let me know about it, I’ll put it on a list of sites to update when Leo is found.) Please make sure you include the blog address if you post, and if you can attach a photo, much better!
Checking Shelters I'm looking for someone convenient to the Arlington animal shelter and someone convenient to the Alexandria shelter to visit these shelters. Reports have been made with each shelter - since the first day after Leo went missing. (Alexandria is closed for viewing on Wednesdays; Arlington is closed on Tuesdays.)
Incentive for Spreading the Word And in a shameless attempt to get any business or organization with a website to find a way to link to Leo’s blog, we’re now offering a “Friends of Leo” Link Exchange opportunity. See this new section in the right-hand menu. Have you already gotten Leo’s story told on a business or organization website. Let me know and I’ll add the link to the Friends of Leo section. Know anyone that needs some incentive to help spread the word about Leo on their website? Let ‘em know that – hopefully for a limited time! – we will gladly provide a reciprocal link on this website.
OK, that's all for now, other than to say that no, we've still had no sightings of Leo . . . but I still believe that whoever has seen him simply did not know who's looking for him.
