Day 10 Lost Dog (note she is golden colored not white).

She has not been sighted or found but it was a good day. Carmen Brothers canine (www.professionalpettrackers.com) were on sight today to track her scent with their nationally recognized dog Finley. Indeed Finley found her scent and she is very much still in the area. Please help me by keeping your eyes and ears open. She is near Healdsville Road.
DO NOT CHASE, call her or feed her! If you see her, simply report her to the Central VT Canine Recovery CVCR at 802-357-3755 ASAP.
I may be asking those of you in the area if I can set up a feeding station and camera to catch her on camera. I will enter your drive and honk. If you choose not to come out, no problem.....I'll leave a flyer on your car.
The Recovery organizations tell me this is not unusual and her recovery could take weeks. She's still likely to be hiding. If you could look in your shed, garage, barn or under the deck. She may also be spotted on your trail cam or Ring cam.
When she is found I will let everyone know here and will take down all the signs.

Hello Friday!

The weekend is here and we are ready — hope you are too!

But first, the weather report from the farm:
Temperatures were much more tolerable this week than last — phew! A little rain here and there, and it's overcast today. But the weekend? Sunny and beautiful. Perfect farm stand weather.

Inside the farm stand this weekend, we've got you covered:

We're partnering with our friends at Stevens Farm Fruits and Market, bringing their amazing fruit into the farm stand! Quantities are limited to whatever is in season, and Saturday we're expecting raspberries — oh boy! Their sweet treats are worth the trip too.

Fresh chickens — a customer favorite! We've got them in the fridge this weekend, in various sizes. Perfect for the grill, the smoker, or your oven.

Farm fresh eggs, always in stock, straight from our happy hens right here on the farm.

Did you know? All the meat we sell inside the farm stand comes from animals we've raised right here on our farm. Yup, it's true. You can't get more local than that, folks. Know your farmer, know your food.

We can't wait to see you this weekend! Open 12:00–5:00 through Sunday.

Day 9 Lost Dog (note she is golden colored not white).

When she is found I will let everyone know here and will take down all the signs. I'm sorry that an update was missed yesterday. There are no new sightings. The Recovery organizations tell me this is not unusual and her recovery could take weeks. She's still likely to be hiding. If you could look in your shed, garage, barn or under the deck you'd be my hero.
Please look at your Ring cam and driveway/house cams for any movement. Especially overnight.
DO NOT CHASE, call her or feed her! Simply report her to the Central VT Canine Recovery CVCR at 802-357-3755 ASAP.
