Kajtek Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Oh nooooo! (I just saw this thread) Praying, hoping, wishing for Alvin's safe return. Clyde, hugs+hugs+hugs+hugs. Thinking of you Anna + the clan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Age Outlaw Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Oh no! I sympathise. It is every dog owner's worst nightmare and one I went through myself only a couple of weeks ago. I would never have gotten Ziggy back if not for RSPCA's Pet D Tect service...I paid $50 for them to check all the shelters, pounds, local vets etc, and they made me this awesome poster which I printed up and plastered all over the neighbourhood - it had their phone number on it so I didn't have to post my private phone numbers all over the place....and that is how we found Ziggy. A lovely lady out walking saw him go across the road, had seen his poster and made the call and we found him...after 5 days of him living rough we got our boy back. Don't lose hope - we are all thinking of your. I hope Alvin is found soon, safe and well. Edited January 12, 2012 by New Age Outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Have just bee in the car for 6 hours so Im absolutely buggered. Still no sign of him have put posters up everywhere on my back here (home), resgitered him as Missing with all the pounds, contacted police and dropped of a flyer - done the local dog park, pet stores, all vets in teh area etc etc. I dont know waht else I can do. Grace is out going over the property again and again. I hve to find him, I can't just not know what happened. I am going to try to set up a facebook page as my personal page is private so not much use. thanks for your well wishes and messages of support. Starting to feel very despondent. He is a crazy little nutter but also very predictable so it just doesnt make sense. Police can't register him as stolen as I have no proof or even a reason to be suspicious - it's just a mystery. Poor housesitter has just left, she stayed up til 1am in the hope he would turn up, she left all outside lights on and so the Maremmas barked all night and she got no sleep, poor girl.

Erny Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Good luck Clyde. Sorry that I can be of no better use other than to be thinking of you and hoping that the mystery of missing Alvin is solved with him being found safe and sound. I presume your other dogs don't seem to be giving off any clues to Alvin's whereabouts? I'm sure that's a stupid question that you would have picked up on had this been the case.

Clyde Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I know, you're right, I am just so tired and have Grace sobbing her eyes out so I'm starting to lose it a little. Off to walk around a bit and look some more, it just makes no bloody sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I am so sorry Clyde. Are you on a large property? I could perhaps drive over early tomorrow morning and help search? I am in Sydney today and not much use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 No not large, thanks Anne that's kind of you - just 2.5 acres. I had an army of volunteers searching every nook and cranny here yesterday and again this morning. About 10 people searched high and low, dams on properties around me were even waded in to and scraped as much as possible and one small sized neighbour even got on her tummy and shimmied herself all around under the house. I am so grateful to have such caring neighbours all searching for me when I wasn't here. The fellow next door reckons he's been stolen, but even then it doesn't make sense as I am fenced and even if he did get out somewhere he just wouldnt go anywhere and I am down a quiet country road. Petbarn did say two Pugs have gone missing in Mittagong, presumed stolen but I am half hour away and it just seems too random given my location. Just finding a body would make me happy in a strange sense, just to know that he will come to no further harm IYKWIM. He is Trouble but not confident out of his territory and very much bonded to Esme (SBT), I don't believe he would have the balls to leave the property even if he did get out. The only place I can think of is the big pine hedges along my driveway, he comes with me to take the bin out and loves eating the neighbours cats poo under the hedge. They are huge pines though and very thick under there and no doubt snakes, so I cant get a really good look all the way through. I am waiting for my neighbour on the other side of the pines to come home so I can try from his side too. It has already been done by the search party yesterday but that is all I have now.

~Anne~ Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) At this time of year there are loads of holiday makers around too so if he has been taken, he could end up anywhere. Don't forget to contact Council and have him listed as stolen in case he comes into a Vet clinic somewhere as someone's pet. Hopefully, you'll have him creating havoc in your life again by the days end though. Edited January 12, 2012 by ~Anne~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
