Animal House

Bo- thank you for the update. I am not a big fan of blogging and it's your updates that keep me returning to this site! My thoughts always come back to Vivi. I am and will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers ~Carol and her 3 sighthounds from Maine~

OMG ... have we got our first spam posting? Online Baccarat? Where did that come from?

The question is: Is there still a $5K reward being offered or has it been rescinded since it will now not appear on any posters?

What is one to do if a member of the public asks directly, "Is there a reward?" or "I've seen posters about this dog before, how come it doesn't say $5K reward anymore?"

I suspect the reward is still being offered, but by publishing it on the players, it's attacting bounty hunters and trappers. These people are having a negative impact and likely making Vivi more reclusive. As difficult as it is for me to say, I agree with their decision.

Oh good grief........flyers, not players.....LOL

bo DID NOT say they are rescinding the reward, they just don't want it plastered on the flyers any longer, fearing this will attract bounty hunters after her, and scare her even more. if someone asks about the reward, just say "yes, there is still one being offered".

this request by the owners must be honored, it is their dog. we are just here to help the OWNERS get her back home

Is that a typo on Bo's post: 1-877-JKF-VIVI or is it JFK-VIVI?

1 877 JFK VIVI. That needs to be fixed.

So now it's going to quiest down in the physical---which is fine---that will give the subtle forces more focus to hold her to the area and bring her evern closer to her body energetically. With as close as she has gotten to some people, and as easy as she is moving through the area, she is "relating open space now, and will begin relating the "imprints of faces soon. these are all good signs, but everyone needs to chill now and just be calm and support the positive visualizations of her safe and soon return. This is all part of the shift that needs to happen in order for the people stress to dissipate and get out of the way. The phone numbers are being taken care of which will remove the problems in communications, and the dynamics of "going after her" are being shifted to drawing her IN to where that magic moment of connection has a higher ratio of success. We (the group queitly visualizing and meditating and holding the space and protective light around Vivi are also busy manifesting kind and capable people to befriend her and for her to trust---and blocking the fears and troubles of any other contact. I understand that some people arent' into this area of awareness, but that does not make it invalid. I manifest things al lthe time---in this project regarding Vivi there are so many uncontrollable variables involved it is going to take time for that situation of Bo's magic moment to come to life. So just know our group is remaining camly holding the space---no hype, no stress, no "going after her"---just counter-acting those forces and energetically crawing her in toward her safe return.

I have found that the people I've approached who were most concerned about Vivi, often said they didn't care about the reward...and the people who obviously had no interest in anything BUT the reward, 90% of the time, got very vocal about grabbing her.

I've been watching this site for some time now and since Vivi is a lure courser I'm wondering if anyone has thought of setting up a practice course with a sqwaker?? I don't know of any sighthound that can resist that noise!!! Make sure to include other noisey hounds to get her in the mood for a good chase.

Let me know if this works....she needs to be home!!

Here are the owners wishes with regard to 'Gale's' posting that has been a discussion on this blog all afternoon. Fire away at me - but you are in direct defiance of the owners wishes for "THEIR" Vivi.....Ko

Please forward to anyone else who is planning any action without consulting with Honi.

In haste,

Bo

Hi,

Your email (below) was forwarded to me. We absolutely do not want people to “get together” to try to “catch her” or to “amass as many people as possible in the sighting area.” We appreciate your concerns but please accept that Vivi is Jil’s and Paul’s dog, and that they have designated Honi Reisman to be in charge of all decisions concerning the search.

For further information of what we want anyone who is helping to do, please see my updates on www.awc2006.com. Especially check out the “Guidelines” for how to act if anyone does spot Vivi.

Thanks for your concern.

Bo Bengtson

That's an interesting idea. Lure coursing. I think if they can get her to stay in one area so they'd know where to set up the course something like that might work. She's just been in such a complicated and vast area they no one really knows where she is on any given day. That's my read, anyway.

I think it was one of the Gail's and not Gale who is an animal communicator most recently approving of "quiet"

Umm.. I brought up the idea on lure coursing set ups to try and flush her out weeks ago. shurgs. and also gave them names of organizations to contact for equipment. I sent it privately to bo and also posted on this blogg. I have yet to see a whippet not fight thier handler/owner to be allowed to run.

Yes, I remember Gayle that you posted that idea and maybe other people ... not sure, but like many ideas it seems to get lost in this blog unless you belong to the inside clique. Anyone who posts an idea that requires thinking "outside of the box" is quickly shot down or plain ignored.

While, I think the owners love and desire to have Vivi home, I also believe they're not being counseled well, and I think their faith in Honi is very misplaced. It's just my opinion, but I don't think the owners have a clue of the politics going on.

I'm very tired of reading that this is the owners' dog and we should only follow their direction. Doesn't anyone feel there's a greater responsibility to VIVI?! Isn't that what this is about?

I don't doubt the owners' care for Vivi, but I think they've shown horrible judgment. We'd probably still think Vivi is in a heated cargo hanger, hunting rabbits if we followed their ideas.

I also don't think any of the extensive posters and flyers and energy here would exist if WE hadn't been there. I seriously think the owners would still be relying on their 12 pyschics or whatever number it was. Pets are NOT found with animal communicators or psychics ... they're found by having a good plan and following it, and NEVER GIVING UP!

I really can't take this anymore. I'll check in to see if she's recovered, but I'll try not to post. Please message me privately if you want to chat; otherwise, good luck and blessings to our angels who are out there doing the actual work.

Feel free to flame away ... I'm beyond caring what certain individuals think of me.

As always,

Ah, so some of the previously selfless proletariat volunteers are getting resentful of supporting the bourgeoisie show dog owners with supplies, cash and unpaid man-hours.

Don't blame the owners if you neglected to pay your oil bill or racked up your credit card to pay for their dog to be found.

It really boggles the mind how the people on here, who appear to be middle class (or even some on a very limited income) are shelling out money hand over fist for people that are at the very least upper middle class or even outright wealthy. It boggles the mind how some of you are obviously putting your livelihoods at stake by neglecting to focus on your jobs and misusing your employers' supplies and equipment probably to the tune of thousands of dollars. Yeah, you all like to think the boss is stupid OR that you are indispensible, but really neither is true. May none of you get fired for too many phone calls and faxes, overnight shipping to NY on the company's tab, unaccounted for time, and unaccounted for supplies in terms of ink and paper. The dog show circuit is expensive. If you can't afford to be on the dog show circuit, then what are you doing giving them money when they are obviously better off than you? The only reason I can think of is maybe some of you were/are afraid if you didn't give money, the search for the dog would be abandoned.

I am sure some of you will say that giving the money is for the DOG, not the owners. If this is true, then give money and be still with the complaining against the decisions made by the owners. The dog is not yours and no matter how many hundreds of dollars you chipped in and no matter how many hours you worked on this effort, you have no say.

Technically they didn't ask anyone to help, so don't expect any thanks. Also, don't expect to be entitled to any meaningful input on the search tactics. Here's your instructions: keep printing posters with the approved text at your own expense and keep going out and posting said posters on your own time. So no complaining. If you want to help Vivi, that's the way you should do it.

Question: Would you do all this for anybody else's dog or are you all just star-struck by the glamour of the elite dog show set? This is what I would really want to know. Other lost ordinary dogs owned by mere mortals have been mentioned briefly on this blog but nobody is raising thousands to send tracking dogs after THEM. Some people who give $$$ for Vivi and drive around for Vivi have posted on here how "broke" they are when it comes to giving money for a mere mortal's ordinary dog to be found, and how sorry they are but they don't have time to search for the mere mortal's dog.

Question: What do you think would happen if, as suggested on this blog, volunteers do not pay to print posters, but instead wait for the owners to pay (with their own money) to print them and for Honi (whoever she is) to distribute them? Do you think the search might end abruptly right there? I couldn't answer that question right now because they at least deserve a chance to step up to the plate.

You made things too easy for them by taking on their responsibilities and now you are complaining that you have no "power" because you think you are owed it.

Of course you have no power over the way the search is run and you are not owed anything. You were/are willing participants in this, not victims. It's not your dog, so don't demand any "rights."

Ko: thanks for the posting. Is there anyway to e-mail you? Marnie in CA

Brian: are you out there? Haven't seen anything from you recently... or maybe I'm looking at a different thread? I like your voice of reason. Keeping the faith in CA, Marnie

Smart: Please don't assume the owners are upper middle class or outright wealthy. This is very subjective. If you leave it up to the libs in this country, anyone making over $100,000 is considered wealthy and as you may or may not know, a starter home in California is in range of of $800-900K. So before you assume, please get your facts right!
Laurie, Ventura CA

Laurie,

>>>a starter home in California is in range of of $800-900K

So it looks like a person has to have serious bucks just to be able to live in Cali in a starter home!

As the recommended way to determine how much home a person can afford is "principal, interest, taxes and insurance should not exceed 30% of gross monthly income," I must agree with you ... $100K is certainly not wealthy (it's not even a living wage) when it comes to residing in Cali.

But if I take in the entire context of your post rather than that one bit, I would have to ask if you are making a case for "let's slide the Federal Income Guidelines Scale around" to mean that someone who can afford a home in that price range is really just "middle class."

But what are we talking about this for??? Isn't this about a lost dog??? What's her name??? Vivi!!!!!!!!

Or did you just slip that posting in there to bring attention to the fact that Laurie of Ventura, CA is a "non-lib" who's living large???

Is that what you're all about? Now that's sad, but it feels like the truth.

Sorry, but I couldn't care less what you have and neither does anyone else who wants Vivi to be found.

The postings are getting more and more off the wall today.

Sincerely,
Tara from Long Island, NY (Another area with inflated home prices ... nyah nyah nyah!)

PS: I live on LI, so kiss my butt because I'm loaded!!!!

PPS: But what is my butt loaded WITH ... oops! --never mind-- now back to the regularly scheduled VIVI blog channel ...

;-)

You guys are rediculous with your who's got what - let's get back on track and that track is Vivi and her well being

Kathy: Just trying to make sure Smart P is not posting misinformation about the owners. That's all. Boy, Tara really put a SPIN on my words. What a surprise.

WOW Lots of snipeing going on in here today...Why are we all here? Lets not forget why we are here...I am not the least interested in fighting with anyone. You have your opinions and I have mine. Is there no room for EVERYONES OPINION? Sheesh...STOP FIGHTING TO BE RIGHT,IT SERVES NO ONE!

Ron: Don't think anyone is fighting.. Yes, there is a lot of room for opinions and comments. I'm confused? Are you Smart Prolie?

Am I smart prolie???? Are you kidding me or what?? NOT HARDLY!

Thanks, Ron. Didn't think so..

Laurie...you had my woried for a second there...:)

me worried I mean...speelchecking I need...

You know, I don't care how much money they have or don't have! I just hope they get Vivi back. If Delta wouldn't have flubbed up in the first place, they wouldn't have had the media coverage they've had. From the interviews I've seen of Jil on TV, she's heartbroken. I just wish I lived in New York to help be part of the team searching for Vivi. I think it's about time the airlines start treating pets with some humanity. After all, we love them like our children.

Hi Bo---this is Gale---the professional psychic (and very good at it according to my clients) Not Gayle or Gail or Gail---I am writing just to clarify that I am in alignment with the "calming down of the situation" and have been working to keep the craziness and ulgies from getting out of hand (doesn't help the energies working to hold Vivi in place where she has been frequenting for all this time now---nor does it help in gaining control of the conversion momnet. I'm the woman that not only psychically communicates with animals, (and people), I also do profound energy work that enables me to move situations, so I have offered to help with this Vivi search (been connected with her since day 1 at JFK---my Quinn---MIKLIN Chelsea Mitra, is a cousin so Vivi is like family). I have worked to get others involved with the visualizing and meditating and candle lighting, and even some people praying for her, to bring a collective effort of focus to the work I was already engaged in---having a group dynamic to assist so the dynamic could multiply itself has served Vivi well, but the human chaos and dramas haven't helped much---regardless of these ourbursts---like I have explained to the blog group---when people are involved in a major project it is going to have frustration and upset and argument rise to the surface to be skimmed off the efforts---and that is how I have been working the human chaos---as the frustration being blown out so Vivi does not have it interfere with her.

So this "break" and shift of focus on the part of owners and everyone in the hub is fine with me---although there is already a peacefulness to the forces since mid-afternoon---so that is a very good sign indeed. I know you meant the other Gayle and not me---and everyone is very stressed and exhausted and heads must be reeling for a little wall staring activity for a while in order to reboot the mental computer. This is a good thing that everyone chill a while and give Vivi time to get farther into her reconnecting her imprinted memory for familiarity. She knows her patterns and her routines, and this has been the longest trip back home after a show so she is going to begin the deja vu "in the way animals experience it. It's only a matter of time before she is back in her body enough energetically that she will be on the brink of coming back in from the fright that blew her out.

And I don't just chit chat with animals---I see internally, I also pick up the karmic issues and the relationship issues between the animal and the people in it's life. I also do emoting to help them overcome trauma from thier past (even trauma that happened while still in the womb. I have even identified bad breeding in the breeding history without seeing any paperwork, so I am very helpful to people that want to genuinely help their companions. I also help manifest homes for animals in need.

Oh Well, anyway I'm sure the quiet group that has connected with me off blog will remain in the subtle forces to help bring success to Vivi's return---and hold the space for only loving people to be involved in her encounters.

I assure you that I'm very professional in my work---and this will in no way interfere or cause problems for Vivi---the group I am speaking of has gathered in the practice of the natural law of attraction and different forms of meditations and visualizations---very real practices that I teach clients and in my workshops (even in the corporate setting believe it or not). I worked quietly in a major international corporation for 17 years.

Be well everyone and know that the uglies don't help and childish reactions don't help and it is time for a little rest for Vivi's sake. Now to get back to work. :) Holding the light for the mafic moment.

Thank-you Gale

God Bless us all. Surround our little Vivi, Sniffles, Biggie and Dante with your light. Keep them safe, healthy and fearless. For those that are lost we pray for their safe return Home, that your will be done God,Mother, Father. Help us to let go and trust our prayers, and so it is
Amen

Good Night Everyone

God, Shepherd of All Creation, gather Vivi, Biggie, and Sniffles, and all Your lost ones in a tender embrace.Keep them warm,and allow them to sleep safely in Your protection. In Your time lead them on the path that will bring them home. Bless those who unselfishly serve as Your presense in this search. Author of Life, bring this story to its happy conclusion. Amen.
The reason I have always felt that God would honor our request to bring this trio home is that it is being done for unselfish reasons. There is no one here who is doing it for the reward, am I right? Most of us don't ever expect to meet the owners, or Vivi. Most of us are only known by a first name-- we didn't get involved for the recognition. We stand to gain no more than knowing an animalwho captured our imagination, and now two other animals, might have a chance of returning to her/his concerned caretakers. That's my soap box speech. 'Night all- Thanks for your efforts , my biggest reward is seeing how wonderful people with the common bond of animals can be!
