Gigi's foster mom arrives tomorrow--again!

Nancy Tisdale, Gigi's foster Mom from Charlottesville, Virginia, is travelling up 29 North to DC for the third weekend in a row. She's bringing Scottie, another Sheltie, who was one of Gigi's playmates when she spent five months with Nancy Tisdale. Nancy is going to attempt to entice Gigi out, with the help of Scottie and KFC.

My wife Nancy and I are incredibly grateful to Nancy T. She loves Gigi as much as we do. And Gigi has a real bond with her (she only spent 3 days with us). We believe she is searching for Nancy T, so foster mom is coming to her. She has had as many sleepless nights as we have. Please join me in thanking her. Do so in the comments section, so Nancy T. can read your thoughts. She is a devoted reader of Gigi's Hope, as are many of her friends and colleagues in the Northern Virginia Sheltie Rescue. Also, let us now give a shout out to all the help we have received from that tremendous organization.

What food makes the best bait for Gigi? And the winner is?

Nancy and I have heard from many folks. Opinions seem to be heated. There are advocates for roast beef. For cat food. For canned lamb tripe for dogs. For raw ground beef. For roasted chicken. But a plurality clearly favors fried chicken. Some friends of Gigi firmly advocate for Popeye's. But, if by vote, there is a winner, it is Kentucky Friend Chicken. If you have an opinion, please COMMENT on this blog post and share it with everyone. Nancy and I read comments as reliably as we read e-mails. We just wish there was a KFC anywhere near us here in AU Park in upper northwest DC. So we've opted for Popeye's, since they have a location on Wisconsin Avenue. And we tried multiple other options. Thanks for all the input. Keep on caring. It does mean a lot to us.

Trap fixed and fuller report of Gigi's activities last night

The humane trap is now fixed and being checked on a regular schedule. Gigi was in sight from 11PM last night to around 3 AM this morning, laying down (but there's not sleeping) and occasionally running around, no doubt to keep warm. She continues to approach the trap (which looks like a kennel), but did not go in. Maybe soon?
Gigi was also seen in a different area (but still away from roads) at 6AM today, and was also doing fine. So she did OK on a cold and VERY windy night.

At 3: 30 this morning, Gigi seen at trap

But the trap blew over in the wind! Will go set straight soon.
