I knew our techno wizardry was going too well. The food went from Pete and Bren's garden last night, on the 2nd night of the camera reinstallation, and for some reason the camera recorded most of the 24 hours except the crucial few hours in the evening. Pete reckons Sky knows how to deactivate it.
Meanwhile the camera on the trap stopped at midnight. Not sure if it was rain, or just needed rebooting. With Tim in London and Doug on the other end of the phone Ffion's done her best at pressing random buttons but Doug needs to come out to fiddle. Hopefully back up and running mid afternoon, with Pete kindly keeping an eye on the trap in the meantime.
No food gone from the kennels in the last 24 hours.
It's probably time to tell you about the 2 strange Kirby Muxloe calls in case any of you have friends there, who can ask around and keep their eyes open.
First was last Thurs evening, frightened black lab in the walking area near the library. Very helpful dog walker says she's not seen it before and he was definitely on his own. Too dark to see if there was a scar. Then Saturday lunchtime a lady in her late 40s or early 50s was seen with a black lab on a lead with a scar on the Main St nr the Post Office. Passer by called us.
Ffion's rung the 3 nearest vet surgeries to see if they know of a black lab with a scar. Other than that, it seems unlikely the 2 sightings were the same dog but you never know. For those who don't know Leicestershire Kirby Muxloe is too far from Barton in the Beans for it to be likely it's the same dog as we're tracking.
Can't do a lot more except if anyone has any Kirby Muxloe contacts, especially "doggy" people, could they ask around to see if we can eliminate the one on the lead from the enquiry. I'm surprised the poor lady hasn't already been wrestled to the ground by a pack of strangers if she really has got a black lab with a scar on its back!
Sky, our beloved Black Labrador, went missing on 1st December 2008. We have been trying very hard to find him, and have been overwhelmed by the number of neighbours, friends and complete strangers who have been offering help and support. With so many people helping we cannot make calls in person to keep everyone up to date with the search, so this blog is our way of letting everyone know what is happening. CONTACT NUMBERS FOR US ARE 07951-722747 (PREFERABLE) OR 07921-545615

I cannot imagine what you must be going through ... not knowing what's happened to Sky. We will be praying that he comes home to you soon and we wish him and you the very best. Hugs from a dog mad Nova Scotian.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. Keep praying tonight - he's out there and active as you'll see from my post. Tim's in Oslo and I'm feeling lonely in an empty house, where normally my dog would snuggle up contentedly. Thanks for your kind thoughts. Ffion
