New Sighting and Confirmed Track -- Go Livvy!!!!

New confirmed sighting!!!!! On July 30, we received a call from a kid who thinks he saw olivia running through his yard the day before. He lives only 6 or 7 blocks from the point where the Capitol Police lost sight of Olivia originally.

We can happily follow the news of the sighting with more good news: the sighting was valid; we were able to track from it; and the track area shows that she's basically still circling the area we already knew (though this does widen the circle).

The only problem with this is that it creates more work to do. Given the wider circle, though, we need to put up new flyers, and we need to refresh and replace many of the flyers we put up before. We also think it's time to do another round of emails with flyers to vets and other doggy-businesses, as well as posts to the neighborhood blogs and listservs in Olivia's chosen area. Also, we now have the camera up at the feeding station, so we need to keep replenishing the food and checking the camera daily.

If you can help at all -- either with checking the feeding station near Eastern Market, with fliering, or with anything else, please contact Laura using the information to the right of the blog.

Thanks so much in advance for your help and for all our volunteers who have already been so great over the past year!

Can a huge trap be set up around the feeding station? Our neighbors used a trap that was huge so it was more of a fenced area taking up a large area in their yard.It did end up trapping their dog.

I am also wondering why you don't use a humane trap for her. Would that not be better than having her get hit by a car or worse?

Unfortunately, we don't have anywhere to put the trap. Our hope was that we could get her eating at the feeding station regularly then put one up there but we weren't so lucky - she didn't eat from that feeding station even once, so we had to dismantle it.
