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

Fri afternoon webcam

Possible sighting alongside trap at 5pm on webcam. Thanks very much Marilyn! Trap visited by Tori (to change battery for camera) similar time and pawprint seen in mud. Update midnight: I've taken the images off the laptop and unfortunately it was a bit of Tori! Never mind, keep those eyes peeled everyone.
Food gone from 1 of the 2 kennels this afternoon. Unlikely fox or badger during daylight. Took pilchards, gravy bones, Pedigree meat and tripe stick. Left banana!
Got call from RSPCA this afternoon as someone had reported us thinking we were laying a badger trap. We can assure everyone that the trap is for Sky. If a wild animal is caught then we have enough people around the globe keeping an eye on it that we would be called and it would be released within a short period of time. We are working with the dog warden and are assured that we are doing everything correctly and humanely.
I just hope that we don't get more complaints and have to move/remove the trap now that we think Sky is habituating to it and the area.
Got to talk to man who walks his dog in Kirby Muxloe who meets 10 other dog walkers for a natter every evening on their walks so breakthrough in spreading the word there about the 2 calls. Phew!

Midnight update - battery ran out again this evening on camera so we've just checked the trap. We'll get it back online in the morning after an overnight charge.
