If Mollie is found alive, what will you do after you hear the news? Will you follow other MP cases?

I just lost my pet. This time I sat down to consider what I truly needed that would work long term.

  • I need to feel safe and protected

  • I need to protect and keep people safe

  • I need to work and like to work so if I had a companion I need an animal to be able to work WITH me instead of worry about leaving him home alone.

  • I wouldn't mind traveling but often declined to stay with my animals at home but would like an animal who can travel. Of course, in missing persons cases I'd need to travel.

  • I don't necessarily care for money, I really only care about having enough to live comfortably and get things I need done.

...That makes jobs hard when I can't be happy in sales marketing or business development, I'd rather do the things that need to be done that don't often produce a product or contribute to a bottom line. No. I don't want to make spreadsheets to sell some kind of doodad in a cubicle. Everything about this feels wrong.

Finding missing people is a volunteer or government funded non profit job...but its one of the most important jobs on the planet.

  • The dog will be with me 15 years, 15 years from now I need him still in my life. Dogs are family. In order to make this happen, he has to be able to work and he has to be good at it.

After everything, I won't be dating or having a family soon. Plus I think I would feel safer with a German Shepherd than with a man, lol! I consider these guys me in dog form.

The last guy basically just abandoned me (5year relationship) when I was going through all the drama and the threats. I wound up protecting him and trying to keep HIM and his kids safe, the most. (I consider a man in my life who isn't as loyal, protective and practical (kind of) dead weight that I don't need moving forward for this. They are not in my 15 year plan. I stayed mostly to keep him and his children safe, anyway.

I have only found a German Shepherd to match me in terms of loyalty and protection and the natural inclination to be active and WORK.

I'd love to go outside more and feel like I can know I have someone who has my back no matter what. He would make me feel as safe as I'd make him feel because I am extremely protective, he would be family.

Like Texas Equsearch, I also can ride horses, too. I like this organization for using horses to cover rough terrain that vehicles may not be able to access.

We should get Mollie a dog like this when she gets home so she can go jogging again and it will growl at anything that doesn't feel right. Like an extra intuition.

That's what I'd like that would make me feel safe to be a productive normal member of society again, after this. One that jogs and walks down the street in peace.
