I saw you've been tough with HoldAll.
Men, I will be honest, none is gonna help someone they don't know, and less in that way, I mean, I love the animals too, but, why I will spend my energy for someone I don't even know?
If someone in this forum offers to help you in that way, well, you've been a lucky man. Just keep in mind none has the obligation of helping you, here everyone can give opinions about this and about whatever.
Isn't this a motivation to improve your magical skills instead being asking for help?
I know it must be painful, I hate when those cases happen since I have two dogs, and I don't imagine any of them getting lose.
The Magick is practice, error, practice, error, practice, error, over and over and over again till you've achieved it.
It is how I can help you.
