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

What have we done so far?

Our spreadsheet of activity now runs to about 10 pages! We have:
1) Phoned the local vets (who record details in a 'lost and found' book).
2) Phoned the RSPCA and added details to their national missing pet register.
3) Phoned the local animal rescue shelters (Leicestershire and Warwickshire).
4) Phoned the local dog wardens (each local Council has its own and they do not share information so you have to phone all).
5) Phoned the 'out of hours' dog warden (as information does not routinely get passed on this needs to be a separate call).
6) Put up posters over about a 5 mile radius, giving our contact details and the cutest photo we could find.
7) Asked local radio to broadcast Sky's details.
8) Placed adverts in the local papers over about a 20 mile radius.
9) Asked people who are working 'out and about' in the local area to put posters up in their staff rooms - postman (lady), DHL drivers, bus drivers.
10) Talked to the local farmers.
11) Went and talked to the local Travellers.
12) Posted Sky's details on the various 'missing dog' websites - doglost.co.uk, lostlabs.co.uk and others that I cannot remember at present (will do a future post on this).
13) Had an article in the Leicester Mercury about our search.
14) Set up a night vision camera (thanks to Doug and Helen) to investigate if food has been disappearing from any of the feeding stations - unfortunately this is all we found:
