My heart really feels for you!
My Chachi was 13 years old. We had been out for the day it was a cool summer
night. When we got home I let him out as I always did and waited for him to
come in. He did not ask to come in and we had a big enclosed porch that he
would often stay on at night cause it was cool there so I figured that is what
he chose to do. I did not look for him that night as he had spent many nights
on the cool of the porch. I went out the next morning to get him and feed him
as I did many times before. He was not there. I looked around the house he was
not there. We lived on 186 acres of land so I could or did not think anyone
would have picked him us he never went to strangers. We searched for three
days, I cried and cried he was the one who saw me through allot of bad things
in my life. He helped to rasie a bottle fed kitten we named Shanda. We never
could find him. Then on the forth day my husband found him, he was in some
boxes by the house and he had died. I was beside myself. He was not there when
I looked before he must of crawled in one and we just did not see him when we
moved the boxes around. I held him and cried and rocked for what seemed like
hours. My husband finally took him from me and told me I had to let go. He laid
a blanket in a box and laid Chachi on top and covered him up. The next day I
left for Amarillo 200 miles away to go bury him at my Mom and Dads.
My Mom said he must of known how bad this would hurt me so he went off to dies
to save me from the hurt. I guess they know more then we think they do. I had
up until 3 years ago 5 generations of Chi pups that belong to Chachi blood
line. The last one to go was Betty and she was 15 years old when she died.
Whitetoes her Uncle was 21 when he went.
So keep looking as I am sure you will find her some where do not give up hope.

Subject: [Chihuahuas] Is it time to give up on Jane-Jane?
I don't want to and I can't right now. and my mother says she don't
know what else to do it's been 2 days since we last saw her in the house. and
I know I sound like a broken record but neither she or myself let Jane-Jane
out Wednesday morning. Jane never would go out when Mom opened the door the
only door we use to go in and out. I just came in from searching the cornfield
next to the house. mom says to be careful watch for snakes and don't get too
hot it's 90 degrees outside. if she died I'd still like to find her and bury
her by her mother. if she's somewhere in this house her body will eventually
start decomposing and we should smell it, unfortunately that may be the only
hope of finding her body. I just want to have closure one way or another.
