Cynics would say that a maltipoo snatched by a hungry coyote on Monday probably wouldn't be alive on Thursday, but Jessica Simpson isn't giving up hope of seeing her beloved Daisy again.

"Still holding out hope despite the a--holes that say is it a dumb thing to do. Daisy is my baby ... why would I stop searching? I'm a mom," she wrote on Twitter Wednesday night.

At 8:13 p.m. Monday night, Simpson, 29, Tweeted that her dog, a maltipoo she'd owned for five years, had been taken by a coyote as she watched in Los Angeles.

"My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR!" She Tweeted. "We are searching. Hoping. Please help!"

By Wednesday, a dog-finding service, FindToto.com, had been making calls to some 1,000 of her neighbors asking if they'd spotted any sign of the missing Daisy. She also created a sign offering a reward for her dog's return.

On Tuesday night, however, she apparently took at least a one-hour break from searching and grieving.

"Everyone watch my beautiful sister be a creepy b---h on Melrose Place tonight!!!" she wrote on Twitter at 10:10 p.m. "Tune in! xo"
