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

Spreading the word

So today was a binge on the poor residents of Twycross.
Quite good awareness which on the one hand is reassuring, but on the other is depressing if it doesn't generate phone calls. Also I called back the lady who saw the dog last night and got depressed when I enquired about its build which was "wasn't exactly underfed" and we know Sky is normally slim and should be I suppose even more so right now.
However the dog walkers and farmers which Tori and I accosted today couldn't account for a loose black lab in any other way, so maybe??
Thanks to Rachel who also helped blast the residents of Sheepy Magna today.
We got lots of schoolchildren interested, which is bound to be a good thing with half term next week.
The countryside is very open and rural with lots of copses and outbuildings, so ideal for a Sky. Most of the farmland is Crown Estate, so at least our dog has good taste and high standards.
The lady at the zoo lost her dog for 4 years then got it back because of its microchip. Please Sky, don't do that to us.... to be fair it was stolen, and turned up in a rescue centre in London. Not quite the same.
Tomorrow Val, Pete, Fay and husband, and Rachel are off walking and accosting with flyers. Tori and Tim are postering and chatting. I'll be in work wishing I wasn't.
Can I just mention 2 things? Jon & Shelley's new blog about missing Jacob

Please support them with words of encouragement - it helps, honest.
Also locally there is a rescue Rottweiler called Ben, aged 6-8, who is blind and needs a good home. All he wants is cuddles. He looks gorgeous in the photos and needs lots of love. Let me know if you think anyone can help. I want him. Tim says no right now, because I'd have to give up work. If you all do a petition, Tim might change his mind ;-)
