It has been three weeks since our beloved Cicca went missing and we have envisaged many mishaps that might have befallen her.

However, our biggest hope is that she has been picked up by some kind dog-loving person who has looked after her and given her all that we would have wished for her ourselves.

This theory fits in with our hopes and dreams, because every other alternative is too dreadful to consider.

We now wish that this kind person will go a step further in his or her good deed and deliver our Cicca back to us – to her home where she belongs.

Not only do we miss her most terribly, but she was what turned our house into a home.

She was our family, and life without her is an empty space. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you, you who have taken such good care of our treasure, our most cherished creature.

Please deliver her to us, we who have been every single day of the past three weeks awaiting her return with much anxious anticipation in our hearts. The hope that every painful waiting moment will not have been in vain is what keeps us going during this sad and sorrowful time.

A kind reward will be awarded.
