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

July fitness campaign

Well, we've had absolutely no phone calls of any kind since the Osbaston House Farm episode 6 weeks ago. However we've had times like this before, and as Rachel said in her comment for our last posting (and as many people are also saying) - if it is him in that area, it's close enough to home that yes we could have that magical moment when a black hairy bullet just charges at us through the gates. Oh, what a dream moment that would be..........
My Sky Army Stalwart Tori is back from some time in the Meditteranean but like me, has a punishing schedule of work for June and we'll be entrenched behind our laptops all hours of the day and night. I'm at the end of a mega educational video project for the Department of Health and have square eyes right now.
We've decided that July will therefore be spent trawling the footpaths of that area, keeping watch and laying sent, and getting fit again! Tim has made a Heath Robinson device of my empty Highlands Spring water bottles, through which he puts intravenous drip tubing (no of course it's not nicked from work, how could you ever think that?), which drips water from the bottle which contains the contents of the vacuum cleaner bag, which apparently smells of home.
Yes OK we'll look like Ghostbusters and may have to answer a few questions from a few police officers but it will be lovely getting out into the countryside and feeling that we're doing something.
Talking of police officers, poor Jon & Shelley have at least been put out of their misery about mysery Welwyn Garden City dog which "a nice lady" thought was their dog Jacob (see posts below for their website). The nice lady is a career fraudster and has many other frauds on the go, and is currently living at Her Majesty's Pleasure while the police decide how many things they might be able to charge her with.
People lead such sad lives that instead of trying to use spare time to help others, they have to twist it in this way. All that wasted time and emotion for Jon & Shelley gets me angry on their behalf. We've only had 3 fraudulent calls, all of which were pretty sorted within a couple of hours and that was bad enough.
Anyway, back to being positive. If anyone wants to join the fitness campaign for July, just shout! It's lovely countryside and much nicer to gabble along with someone than trudge miserably thinking about my little boy.

  1. I love the vacuum cleaner drip idea - and I need to get fit - so if you're having an evening or weekend troll around i'd assist if I'm free. Awful story about the fraudster - incredulous.
