2 phone calls today.
First Barlestone, just off Manor Rd. A black lab has been hanging around all day, and there's a bitch in heat nearby. We suspect George, since he has a well known healthy sexual appetite, and Sky hasn't a clue. Also it's very suburban and if the dog had a scar on its back I think we'd have had more calls plus something more definite. Anyway Pat and Carmen are on the lookout and asking people.
Second was the A511 / A42 junction. A man stopped in a layby on the A444 nr Twycross today, saw our poster, has labs of his own, and remembered 2-3 weeks ago seeing a black lab on 2 occasions hanging around the car park of the Premier Inn on the roundabout nr Ashby Tesco's. There is also a McDonald's there and when Tim went to check it out there is rubbish everywhere, so quite a magnet for a scavenging labrador.
The hotel is closed for refurbishment. The builders and landscapers at the hotel had disappeared for lunch. McD was beserk with screaming children because of half term holidays and the queue was so long Tim gave up as he had to be in work. We will try again in the morning and if there is anything positive will put some posters up. The sighting corresponds with a call from the same area on January 11th and a call from 2 miles away from there Dec 18th, so we want to follow it up.
The police rang Pete today to get more information on the white transit van so it's nice that they're taking the whole thing seriously.

Had an idea today for some publicity! At my police job they have an internal website which every officer reads almost daily across the entire force. I can put a missing advert on for sky. Not only are there tons of dog lovers and dog trainers in the force, the police are obviously always eyes peeled round the county?? Sue
