Your story is heartbreaking. I hope your Snoopy dog shows up.

poor doggy. dogs make such great hikers. i take my bro's fox terrier on occasion, and after i spent over an hour looking for him on mt. si during our first hike together, i learned a simple rule: if he's not in the car, he's tethered--either to me or to an immovable object.

...fingers crossed for a miracle....

thanks for the well wishes. After reading my post a lady who works in Leavenworth thought she saw a Beagle laying on the shoulder along Hy 2 near Tumwater Canyon. After exchanging emails she went back to see for sure, and he wasn't there. I called everyone I could think of and no one picked up his body. Maybe he decided to take a nap. I sure will miss the little guy. He has been climbing with me for the last 7 years and has been atop many, many peaks. I will have fond memories of having people ask what I planned on doing with the dog when I summit.

 

Thanks,
