Our hearts are breaking! Somehow our 9 month old Chihuahua squeezed out of our backyard last night if you have our Tank please return him. Our two daughters are so sad. We live on Smokey Hill Loop across from the middle school on Fort Riley and have walked miles to try and find him. I am offering a very nice $cash$ reward THANKS my # is 253-876-5589 -Melissa 

The reward is $100 cash if returned to us I know someone out there has seen him 

I'm sorry you lost your puppy! Did you check the post shelter? If an MP saw a loose dog they might've brought him over there. 

Thank you so much for your concern. I filed a report with the MPs as well as contacted every shelter in 75 miles due to many soldiers living as far as Clay Center and Abilene. He is micro-chipped and I did notify AKC CAR that he was lost. A few of the middle school kids have seen him near Tuttle and Pelman so we are searching like crazy. It's been since Tuesday noon that he ate so I know he is probably starved. Again THANK YOU TO EVERYONE READING THIS AND KEEPING AN EYE OUT!!! 

Any solid leads out there??? 

If anyone lives off tuttle plz watch who is cutting down our signs and let me know. 

Awww, I'm so sorry :( whoevers taking the signs down is either being a complete jacka** just because or they have him...Put out some more and watch for who is doing it. I hope someone has him over being out in the weather and they return him to you all. Try putting his fav blanket or one of your worn sock outside. I'm not sure how well those type pups can smell but it works for many other dogs to find their ways home. 

I think we have tried everything under the sun. I have had two calls about seeing him on Hood and Tuttle and one lady made me think she had him and I tried to get more info she said she had to go her son was acting up I am so sad I just want me little guy home. 

I know the some of the people taking down the signs and they are not jacka**. They are really nice people.

Maybe mommissysue shouldn't have went all over the Warner Peterson neighborhood after midnight last night nailing flyers to stuff. They woke up 2 people's babies that live near there. So the real jacka** is mommissysue.

Nobody is out driving the streets in the middle of the night. Why couldn't she be more courteous of her neighbors and wait until it was daylight to put the posters up? 

ok "really nice people" dont tear down lost puppy signs! Im so sick of people like that and the ones who get on her an piss and moan ,unless she was hammering a sign right on the house I highly doubt she woke anybody's kid up geezus@!! 

Amen Roxanne! At least she is a dog mom that actually cares about her dog--many around here don't even give a darn about their kids let alone their dog. Have you considered the fact she wouldn't need to hammer new signs up, if they would quit taking them down? All I can say about the people taking signs down (and the one defending their behavior on here) is wow, I hope you never have people be so inconsiderate of you. That really makes me think someone has your pup. I am so sorry--I know I would feel so much pain if I lost one of mine. 

First of all we mad a mistake. My husband had been out for hours because we had been getting calls that people were seeing him so he had completely lost track of time. Second we had no clue that a hammer and 2 finishing nails would make such a commotion as to wake anyone. And when said resident came out after my husband was long gone, took the sign then proceeded to call me and use choice language to describe me and the incident as well as the plight for my puppy when at that point I had been woke myself and really didn't know what was going on. And would not let me get a work in edge wise. Due to the fact that it was a blocked number I recorded the call. As well as we had clearance from the MPs to re-post the sign at 0700 as we did and returned later to it gone. My husband then proceeded to video tape the new sign and caught the resident red handed taking it down and laughing. I have retained a lawyer and I will be keeping an eye on that sign and if said resident keeps tearing it down I will see them in court. I do not believe this person wants ill will or nor do I want this to go that far but for crying out loud Tank is a part of our family. He is not "just a stupid *choiceword* dog" (quote of resident)We love him and want him home. And AshtonB your right no one but animal control and the MPs are driving around looking for him at night the rest of us are walking.

Also to forewarn everyone I will be printing this paper out and handing it to the lawyer as well thank you. 

I am asking out of curiosity (not being snide), but how is a lawyer going to help you in this situation? I am honestly clueless about this. I get why you are upset, as I would be too. Lawyers are so expensive, and I am not clear on what they will be able to do for you--especially since we are on post. 

Mommissysue, I support you. If someone is upset about you putting up signs, they out to act like adults and handle it like adults, not big freaking children. ( Taking signs down, profane calls, and such.) If ya'll figure out who made the profane call ( big fraking BABIES) thay can be charged with harassment and if they made threats then even bigger charges should apply. And if puppy is found during the investagation in a persons home close to the signs and can be proved to be "hiding" the pup, they can get in big trouble too. I hope puppy just shows up and you can be a happy family again..so to speak.I don't understand the childish behavior of those people. 

First of all it did wake up their baby! The pole is maybe 20 feet from the bedroom window. You can ask the MP's that came to her house when she made the noise complaint cuz she said they heard her baby screaming. Next, Don't you think it is pretty "INCONSIDERATE" of a person to be nailing signs up after midnight in a neighborhood where people are sleeping. Third, I really doubt that she used "choice words" because she doesn't cuss. So know I know that mommissysue is a LIAR. Finally, It is a pole in her front yard. If she wants to tear the sign down then she can! And a lawyer can not do anything about it. There is no laws against tearing down signs off poles. So go ahead and waste your money. And if anyone is going to be charged with harrassment then it would be mommissysue. Because recording people in their own front yard if harrassment. An MP even went to her house last night to ask about the signs being torn down and the MP told her that he thought the signs all over the neighborhood looked "tacky" and he didn't blame her for not wanting it there. He also told her that he garanteed that she would not be disturbed again because he also woke up her baby. He also told her that he was going to look up her complaint from the night before and give them a warning about putting up signs and that if she saw them putting up a sign out there when it was quiet hours to call and make another complaint and that they would be ticketed. The people have a dog of their own and I am sure they would put signs up if their dog went missing, but they are not going to go around at midnight waking up their neighbors to put them up. They would be respectful of their neighbors and put them up during the day. There has been a million lost dog posters hung up on that pole since they have lived there and they don't care. It is the fact that someone was so rude to do it in the middle of the night. 

I suspect that the relationships between all involved were soured long before the missing dog signs. This is way too much drama for this one incident, but then again, I have witnessed worse. With the way some people get worked up over things, I am surprised they aren't literally having strokes. Dear Lord, I could not handle that much stress in my life! 

Seriously, AshtonB sounds to me like your putting your nose where it doesn't belong. People need to mind their buisness.

FACT: Picerne has the final say weather she can post the flyers, not the MPs nor the resident who lives by the pole.

FACT: It would be breaking the law as its considered distruction of property.

FACT: its pretty childish that the resident who lives by the pole couldn't have just let it go, and moved on. Seriously...phone calls (harrassment) and ripping down signs (Distruction of property) is pretty childish.

Its a community, no one owns these houses personally. You guys need to learn to live together without all the BS. 

Wow, this is way too much drama for what happened. I am sure she is sorry she woke up the baby but let’s face facts, baby wake up all the time. My kids wake up when no one is making noise. It happens. You go in and comfort the baby and put them back to bed. It's really not that big of a deal. I don't understand why waking up a baby would be such a big deal. I know none of the party’s involved but I agree with TeachersHaveHeart, the relationship between the involved party’s must have a past that goes back beyond this. 

First I will clarify to me cussing is a multitude of words so forgive me for just boarding the word choice selections. For anyone that cares the word she used was nasty but it was NOT the f-word.

Second, TeachersHaveHearts, I have never met this resident every and plan on not doing so. I live across a large green belt and my yard is tucked behind some trees so I do not see their home from my backyard. Honestly, I do not know why where I live is not counted as an Ellis Heights area since we have the same style homes and are closer to that office.

The pole belongs to Picerne just as your yard and driveway and home. The lady at the office said we could even stick flyers on doors or even knock on doors and talk to people but I felt that was going way overboard.I just wanted to put up a few signs for people to see that are in the area of where he is being seen.

As for videotaping I was told to do it as evidence by the MPs that the resident called that came to my home at 1am. So as to prove that they were pulling the signs down more than once. This sign has gone missing 2 times before the late evening post that I have tried to apologize for a multitude of time.

Thank you BadLuckMommy because your post is spot on!!!

And as for a tacky sign then you can thank the Animal Control MP at the stray facility on post because she showed us how to do it. 

Well I saw some of your signs and thought they were pretty nicely done only thing "tacky " I have seen is the way that cry baby is acting cmon tearing down signs really!!! Whats your deal did you not graduate kindergarten? Can somebody please help that poor soul and get her a freakin pacifier geeezus! 

Seriously... what a bunch of crap. What bored person is going around tearing down other peoples signs? Nothing better to do with your time, really? 

It is the pole in my front yard that the signs are getting nailed to....

I first want to say that we are dog lovers. We actually have a little black dog that gets out of our fence all the time, so if someone saw a little black dog running around my corner it was probably my dog not theirs. And if she came up missing I would hang signs up over the neighborhood I would do it during the day. Because that is the respectful thing to do.

I really don't care if people put signs on that pole. I have lived here for almost 2 years and there has been LOTS and LOTS of signs on that pole!!! But those people were respectful and hung up the signs during the day.

Next, It is the fact that no respectful person would ever go around a housing neighborhood at 1205 at night nailing signs to poles in peoples front yard.

My son was woke up. And so was I. When I heard the banging coming over the baby monitor I thought someone was trying to break into my house. It scared me and I feared for my son until I realized what it was.

When I went outside to see what was going on the man jumped back into his truck and drove off. I did rip that first sign off to see what it was and I called the phone number publicly listed on it and told the woman how disrespectful it was to be hanging up signs in the middle of the night and that I didn't appreciate it and asked if she would like to come put my baby back to bed. Her response was housing told us we could hang up signs..... Well I really doubt housing told you that you can hang up signs at MIDNIGHT!!! She got rude with me and kept trying to defend her actions.

The sign said that the dog went missing on March 27. I had not seen any sign on that pole or even in our neighborhood until that night and the next morning. So if you were THAT WORRIED about your dog then you would have had all of the signs up all over the neighborhood LONG before the dog had been missing for 9 days.

Next as AshtonB said I do not cuss. The extent of my cussing would be pis**d. And I can't remember if I said it or not. I wouldn't doubt that I did because I was mad.

It is a big deal when my son gets woke up. He has separation anxiety and it takes at least an hour to put him back to sleep. That particular night it took me over 2 hours to get him back to sleep. That was really not enjoyable to me and it took away from my sleep also when I had to get up early the next morning.

I am not the only person that was woken up because of these inconsiderate people that night. Two of my neighbors told me that they too were woke up from the banging.

I did make a formal complaint with the MP's that night. I also gave them the sign that I tore off the pole. Told them exactly what I said to her over the phone. And they told me that they were going to find the person and give them a ticket for disturbing the peace. But they were back out there posting another sign early the next morning. DURING QUIET HOURS.

Then last night my son was woke up again at 945 at night by an MP ringing my doorbell. He screamed bloody murder in the background the entire time I was talking to the MP. He said that the people had a video of someone taking the sign down and walking into my house. I told him that we took a sign down. And I also saw a teenage girl take a sign down earlier in the day. I asked him if he wanted to give me a ticket for taking a sign off of a pole in my front yard and he said that he couldn't do that. That he didn't blame me for not wanting the sign on a pole in front of my house because all of the signs all over the neighborhood were making it look really tacky. Then he told me that he was going to make sure that my noise complaint was taken care of and also assured me that I would not be bothered by the MP's over the matter again because I had done nothing legally wrong. But to make sure that if I saw those people out there past quiet hours to call and make another complaint. Then he apologized for waking up my son that he didn't realize it was after 9 already.

If they want to spend their money getting a lawyer than they can go ahead and do that. My husband uncle is an attorney licensed in the state of Kansas and when I called him and told him the situation today he told me that they could not leagally do anything. But he said that if I wanted to push the matter that I could file harrasment charges because they are continously coming to my front yard and if they do have said video that it could be considered harrasment because I did not give them permision to video tape anyone in my front yard and that it could even be considered stalking.

Now.... If they were genuinely concerned and felt bad about waking up my baby. Then her husband would not have been in front of my house at 945 tonight nailing another sign to the pole. Because he once again woke up my son.


They are obviously rude and inconsiderate people......



First thing Monday morning I will be making a complaint with the housing office. And since my son has now been woke up 3 nights in a row because of these disrespectful people I am sure that they will agree with me and maybe they will not be allowed to hang up anymore signs at all.

Finally, Keep hanging signs up on that pole..... I will keep tearing them off. It is a lot easier for me to walk out my front door and tear off a sign than it is for you to walk all the way down here to nail a new one back up.

And I garantee that if any of you had a colic baby that took hours to put back to sleep you would be just as mad as I am about the situation. And if you don't think so you are more than welcome to come sit at my house when you are dead tired and listen to my son scream. 

Well if you leave the signs alone then your son woke get woken up anymore ... Right? Make since to me. 

ASHB....since you have a son so sensitive to noise it must be terrible every time an ambulance, fire truck, or police car goes by. I have had 2 colic babies, but they usually cry unprovoked and cannot be comforted and they cry in cycles usually about the same time everyday. It is part of the wonderful job of being a parent to have sleepless nights regardless of the situation. If your child wakes up during the middle of the night sick are you going to be irritable and blaming on the cafeteria he ate at or the other such kids he was around? Relax.

mommissysue...perhaps find another location for a sign and put your time and efforts elsewhere. You are already stressed from your missing Tank and I know it can be difficult, but do not allow the sign removal to affect your situation. Remember, this should be about your dog and not a petty she did he did . Stop adding fuel to the fire by being persistent with your sign on that particular pole and let the ashes burn out. You have already admitted your faults by hanging it at the late hour, but to repeat it shame on you. Let it go. I drive through that neighborhood today and I like your signs and I saw several of them. You put time, money, and effort into them and you deserve to have your dog back because you honestly care and are genuine with your love for Tank. Good luck! 

I refuse to listen to this splatter plus I do not think your husband should be speaking like he did with an 8 year old around, talk about harassment. This will be the last post I make because my focus is finding my dog not dealing with people that need to read housing policy because they do not understand what COMMUNITY and or PICERNE OWNED or COMMON AREA means. I agree that we were in the wrong hanging that sign that late at night it was inappropriate and we are very sorry and I have stressed this a multitude of times. 

I agree with Brianna--you have signs up on other poles, stop picking the scab and walk away and just focus on finding your dog and let it go. This is over a piece of paper on one post that is an issue. its easier to place it elsewhere but continuing to place it during quiet hours seems like you are not being sincere in your apology for waking up the baby in my opinion. good luck finding your dog. 

BJealous My son should have never been woke up in the middle of the night by them in the first place. Let alone now he has repeatedly been woke up because of them.

Brianna, Yes He has been woke up in the middle of the night by ambulances and fire trucks. But those are real emergencies that are unavoidable.

He also has separation anxiety so add colic to that and you have a baby that is very hard to put to sleep.

It is one thing for a baby to be woken up by something uncontrollable. It is another thing to have your baby woke up by an inconsiderate person.

Finally, It was not my husband that came outside tonight. My husband was in the house trying to calm our son down. The man that came outside with me was my neighbor. He came over to talk to my husband. He is also upset because his newborn was woke up the other night. And he tore the new sign off of the pole. I told him that I didn't appreciate him using that language at my house. But I can't control his actions. ..... It just goes to show you that I am not the only person in this neighborhood that you made mad that night. 

Oh and I have read the housing policy. That is where I found the quiet hours. And a telephone is not considered "picerne owned or common area" They are owned by the utility company and they are actually considered private property of the utility company. My father is an electrician that regularly works with utility companies and he told me that. 

Wow, a lawyer in the fam and an electrician ... Lucky u ;) 

This is the pettiest (is that a word?) fight ever.

You give respect to get respect.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Move on.
