Update on Search for Olivia

Though Olivia is still not home, I am hopeful that we will find her.

We have put lots of fliers up in her new neighborhood near Navy Yard and are giving out business cards to just about everyone we see there. I still need lots of help, though. My latest setback: many of the fliers taped to signs and things blew away in the wind leaving empty sheet protectors, so now I need to redo them. (I am now stapling the fliers into the sheet protectors so that won't happen again.) The places where we most need to put up fliers are L and M streets, between 2nd and 6th, and the blocks on the numbered streets that connect them. I have lots and lots of posters, so don't worry about putting up too many or putting them too close together. I want people to see this poster everywhere they go!

I also really want to cover the Navy Yard Metro stop to give out business cards this evening during rush hour. If people can do little shifts, we can get the people leaving work (around 5-6) as well as the people arriving home (probably more like 5-6). I think it will be especially busy tonight because it's a Friday, so it's a great opportunity to reach a lot of people. If you can make it for a shift - and it doesn't have to be during rush hour - please send me an email so I can organize the timing and fill in where needed. (Because there is only one Metro stop in that area, I am also going to check Metro maps and see if there is a bus stop that is a transfer point or at least has many routes stopping there, and maybe we can cover that too.)

Even if you can't give out business cards at the Metro or a bus stop, please still put up fliers where and whenever you can. Another easy thing to do is to continue to forward her email, blog address, and fliers to anyone you can think of. Even if you have already sent it, maybe you could send an update to your list that says "Dog Still Lost" or Dog Still Missing."

Finally, I still need to check the shelter and stop by some vets and other businesses to talk to them and make sure that the poster is still up and prominent. If anyone has a car and can do some of these tasks or wouldn't mind driving me, that would be a big help.

Thank you all for continuing to help Olivia. We are doing so much and reaching so many people and I could never have done it alone!
