No News...

Several months have now elapsed since our last credible Olivia-sighting.  We have gone up to six months before without a sighting and then come back strong, but I am not sure that will happen this time.  A few of the most recent sightings reported that Olivia was - much to my surprise - in the company of a human!  Our last track seemed consistent with that, so someone may have taken her in.  While this is comforting in the sense that her new human could be providing her with the food, shelter, care, and love she needs, I wish there were some way to verify this.  That way, I could end the search that has dominated my life for the past two years and, more importantly, know that she is and will remain safe and sound. No news might be good news, but it might not; but good news would definitely be good news (obviously), so I continue to hope for that.

On the off chance that the human lucky enough to be with Olivia is reading this, I ask that you please let me know she is ok and, more importantly, please (please!) take good care of her and give her all the love she so very much deserves.  

In any case, I plan to continue the search, even if it is in a lull right now.  I have checked relatively recently that many of the posters are still up in the areas of the last sightings and tracks, and I still field some calls that express interest, occasional sympathy, and sometimes information that unfortunately does not really help.  Maybe one of these days, though, one of the calls will be a new, legitimate sighting and we can get back to making progress toward finding her.  

In the meantime, I wonder.... Time and again, though, she has shown herself to be an incredibly resourceful, amazing survivor; so I continue to hope and trust that she is ok.
