| Thank you for the kind words, suggestions, and prayers. Continued to post flyers, go door to door, etc. We had a professional pet tracker come out. She used to train search and rescue dogs and trains her dogs like cadaver dogs for lost pets. She tracked his scent all over the yard of course and then tracked it to the end of their driveway and kept laying down, indicating the scent ended. It's possible he was picked up. We went to the possible sighting and she did pick up his scent all over and it took us into a horse barn, through a field, down the road back towards their house, and down a driveway, but then the poor tracking dog got shocked by an electric fence right on her nose and she couldn't track after that..she has never been shocked and just wanted to get out of there. I'm really hoping I can get her to come back out. I'm working on it. We then walked our dog from the missing point back to the house to make scent trails, and I had peed in a bottle and sprayed it the whole way. Crazy but I guess it can work. My boyfriend also walked the stream from the house to that location with Bradley's other buddy and they peed as well. Someone is working against our efforts and stealing our signs. At first I thought it was a coincidence but they've taken down so many so I put up nice laminated 11x17 signs 2 evenings ago and they were gone yesterday morning. My boyfriend put a trail cam out and we think we have our culprit. It's against the law in VA to take down lost pets signs apparently. Regardless, it's cruel and it worries me that he's involved as he's a nut job. Please pray for us and my little Bradley most of all. I pray he's okay and if anything has happened, that he didn't suffer. I feel miserable and just want answers. I've been told that I basically need to move on and I'm just feeling lost. I only look forward to coming home hoping he's sitting on my front porch. I try not to look at his food bowl and it pains me to think about sleeping back in our bed as before vacation, he cuddled up next to me under the covers all night. I ridiculously can't fathom sleeping back in that bed right now. He's a family member and it just feels like a death. I pray I get him back. Sorry to be so negative, I'm just hurting. He's been my only constant for 7 years.

              Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | My heart breaks for this little guy, I feel so bad for him, I wish I were near you I sure in the heck would be helping you look for him, Hugs to you as I know you are hurting. I hope someone picked him up, maybe up the reward on him and maybe who ever did pick him up might not be able to resist the good cash reward and return him to you. Hugs and more

| You all have no idea how much I appreciate your prayers. I had the tracker came back today. I made a drawing of the first and only sighting and then the trackings. It looks terrible but you get the gist.
We started at the tracking that was done on 9/26 as that's all the farther we got, and he was headed back our way and then for like an hour the tracking dog wouldn’t leave the creek/wooded field area that I have circled. There’s a house right near that area that has buildings, etc and they said I can camp there and look under their buildings as there's one in particular her shepherd alerts to. The tracker advised we put out food stations on either side with game cameras so we did, and I also put my one tshirt I've worn a lot and my stinky socks at them too. I really hope we catch him on the game cameras.
Please continue you're prayers, I can never thank you enough for doing so. Prayers he's coming home or stays there long enough I can get him. If I see him on the game camera, I'm definitely camping!

| 1st means the sighting, T means tracking from that point to the T and the date. Those points are 1.8 miles from home and then the sighting. |

| Thank you guys for your thoughts and prayers, please continue to think and pray for my little Brad. He's still missing and it's just been too painful to get on here and post. I would literally give up all of my belongings and live in a box if it meant having my baby back. I pray he's safe and we find him, or if he's passed that I find him so I can cremate him and mourn for him. I feel like it's almost shameful to grieve for a pet, especially if its lost. But he's not "pet" at all. I feel mentally and physically tired but I just pray for strength so I can do all that I can do to find him. I feel so devastated but I'm trying to be somewhat optimistic. Hoping I can get the tracker back out this week. |
