Lost Dog Sky

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

3 little factoids

Tim & Ffion here again, logging on for the first time in NZ.
Geoff & Angela, Pete & Bren are doing a sterling job in our absence. 3 things to report:
Black dog with scar on back sighted in/nr Kirkby Mallory. In the end G&A took the photo of Sky showing his scar to show the informant, who said it definitely wasn't Sky.
A caller from Houghton on the Hill, describing a blue collar. Said she'd keep an eye out and call again if another sighting. G&A rightly took the decision to just wait and see on that one (it was pretty vague and many miles away).
Then yesterday 4 black legs seen through a hedge on the edge of Pete & Bren's paddock, by their neighbour, coinciding with their own dogs barking a lot. However there's apparently a black fox in the area, so not sure on that one. P&B are leaving food out anyway but it's not gone so far.
NB to all the local Sky Army:
One thing we forgot to mention just before we left - a person called Roger kindly phoned to say his black lab has just had an operation on its back, and he often walks in the Sutton Wharf area. He had already been accosted several times, poor man, but at least had the common sense to let us know!
That's all for now.
Ffion and Tim

    So hope you get him back, you are a very brave pair and so organised in you bid to find your boy. Cannot imagine the heartbreak you are going through and hope that the anguish ends soon.

    I hope he sees sense and comes home to his lovely home soon.

    Have a lovely holiday, you will need & deserve a break from all the mayhem and ups and downs.

    If there is anything i can do up here in the north just let me know

    We've not reached Christchurch to stay with friends for a week. They used to live close by in Ibstock but emigrated last August, and their 2 dogs Bella and Fly (named after Sky) were shipped out. Playing with Fly this afternoon has given me a much needed dog fix, while at the same time making me very sad. She was Sky's best friend. Little Alistair, their son, also expected Sky to come through the door with us too :-(
    Still, Monty the cat has hung around us for the first time ever. Normally takes one look at Sky and bolts for the cat flap!

    Ffion and Tim,
    really nice to know you are enjoying your stay, and I am sure that you are relaxing and feeling less stressed by now...all good.
    I am sure that seeing Bella and Fly will have had mixed emotions running.
    It made me realise how lucky we are having 3 other furries to take on more hugs, and to cuddle up to when we're low.
    Maybe you can think about another puppy when you get home Ffion? Time willing I am sure it would boost your spirits and give you a happy focus.
    Not a show filling exercise for Sky of course, nothing would fill those size 9's, just something else to take your mind off the loss 'til he strolls through your door.
    Enjoy your hols both, we'll be waiting for news and stories from down under on your return to good ole blighty !
    Shelley
