After 4 days without sightings we received news of<br \/>\na sighting at Rockford &#8211; so near to our home. \u00a0Several sightings and<br \/>\nlots of running later, a kind lady, Bev, managed to coax him with food<br \/>\nto get him on the lead with Nigel following close behind to take him<br \/>\non the final leg of his journey &#8211; home. Seems he was making his way<br \/>\nback and Dee of Doglost was so right in her advice that they do<br \/>\ntriangulate in a bid to find their way home. Just a pity we had that<br \/>\nwild goose chase up to Telegraph Hill over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Anyway, Robbie seems fine except very thin and very tired (Christmas<br \/>\ndinner will be coming early for him and repeated several times!). We<br \/>\nattach a photo of him back home relaxing after his ordeal. He seems<br \/>\nquite comfortable picking up where he left off! It is so good to have<br \/>\nhim back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We cannot begin to thank you all enough for the help and support you<br \/>\nhave given us over the last 2+ weeks. There have been so many of you<br \/>\nwho have given tirelessly your time and energy to search for him on<br \/>\nmany many occasions (and we know how soul destroying it was not to<br \/>\neven get a sighting on those many searches). Others have given words<br \/>\nof support, encouragement (when we were low) and advice (so very very<br \/>\nhelpful). We are immensely grateful to each of you and are so touched<br \/>\nto find so many caring people out there. We are so grateful to Ian<br \/>\n(who was run ragged) for bringing lovely Bling the bloodhound, who got<br \/>\nit so right and Andy and Tracey who roamed far and wide putting up<br \/>\nposters and, of course, Ruth, Mike and Sue, Jenny, Sue and Debbie and<br \/>\nDiane. nd many many more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We take our hats off to Lyn and Mark, who run the Friends of the<br \/>\nStrays of Greece charity ( <a href=\"http:\/\/www.straysofgreece.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.straysofgreece.org<\/a> ) \u00a0and who have<br \/>\nhelped us so much on every front. We know they would welcome new<br \/>\nmembers so please do sign up to this really worthy cause.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We will hopefully keep in touch with many of you one way or another.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Thank you all so very much.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Kind regards<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Penny and Nigel (and Robbie)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large; font-family: Times New Roman;\"><span style=\"font-size: 48pt;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">MISSING<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"font-size: 26pt;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Robbie is a rescue dog and is very timid<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"font-size: 26pt;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"> and nervous but also very gentle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"font-size: 26pt;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"> He has a black collar with silver \u2018bone\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"font-size: 26pt;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"> shapes on it as well as an identity disk.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"font-size: 26pt;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">If you see him please call<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large; font-family: Times New Roman;\"><span style=\"font-size: 26pt;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large; font-family: Times New Roman;\"><span style=\"font-size: 36pt;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">01425 472248<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large; font-family: Times New Roman;\"><span style=\"font-size: 36pt;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">or<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large; font-family: Times New Roman;\"><span style=\"font-size: 36pt;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">07789 748975<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large; font-family: Times New Roman;\"><span style=\"font-size: 36pt;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Distinctive white tip to his tail<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">update from Robbie&#8217;s owner 9th Nov<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Dear All<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Just a big and sincere thank you to all of you who helped in yesterday&#8217;s search. I can&#8217;t tell you how much we appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Although we did not find Robbie yesterday, we did manage to find people who had seen him so at least he is alive but probably very hungry and frightened.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The sightings are as follows:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Thursday\u00a0 &#8211; Hasley Wood Incosure (North of High Corner Inn)<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Yesterday 1pm &#8211; High Corner Inn<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Yesterday\u00a0 2pm Holly Inclosure<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Yesterday 2.30pm Stoney Cross, heading in direction of Stoney Cross Camp Site (no sign of him there at 5.30pm!)<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Ian and his wonderful assistant Bling the Bloodhound were tremendous (as was his ever so patient wife and Bling Junior &#8211; Muriel) and picked up Robbie&#8217;s scent. They were on the run for over 4 hours!\u00a0Bling proved to be very accurate with his tracking.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The &#8216;New Forest Dog&#8217; site has also proved to be very helpful as the 2.30 sighting at Stoney Cross was as a result of one of their members having read their alert &#8211; so many thanks to them and particularly Jill who called Nigel.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Unfortunately we only heard of the Stoney Cross sighting at around 4.00 \/p.m.sop.m. so by the time we have got back to our car and got up there it was 5.30 and dark. We did have a look around for some time but in the end gave up as there is only so much you can see with a fading torch!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">A couple (Andy and Tracy) for whom we don&#8217;t have an email address yet have already been up to Stoney Cross this morning and there is no sign. We feel that the area around the High Corner is hopefully the area he will return to in search of food. We are going to pack our bags and head out there.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">We will keep in touch as\u00a0 time allows. Nigel will keep his mobile on (07789 748975).<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\" dir=\"ltr\">Once again our sincere thanks to you all. It is so reassuring to know there are such caring people out there.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>progress update: 19th Nov ROBBIE IS BACK HOME AT LAST !!
