Kajtek Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Maybe totally stupid idea but could you/have you tried using your dogs (eg Esme) to help looking for him on your property?

Aziah Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Clyde - I know you say you feel he'd never run off or go anywhere but could he have knowing you weren't there and was fretting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm sorry to read this Hoping he turns up safe and well soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileys mum Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Oh Clyde I just saw this thread. So sorry to hear Alvin is missing We have all fingers & paws here crossed that you will find him very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trisven13 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Was hoping he would have turned up safe and sound somewhere silly by now.... Like Aziah I'm wondering if he has gone looking for you and been picked up by someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizT Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 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. I wouldn't list him as stolen so much as missing. It could deter someone from doing the right thing if they think they will be accused of theft if they simply picked up a wondering dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keira&Phoenix Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Oh bummer I came in hoping there was some good news for you Clyde. Still thinking about you and your little family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 It just doesnt make sense that he would leave the other dogs to come looking for me being the kind of dog that he is ie very into the other dogs and home. Also for the last 2 weeks Ive been feeding pets for neighbours on either side of me and driven off then but left all dogs within my fenced garden and he hasn't come after me. He was here for 3 hours after I left, if it was immediate then perhaps more likely? Ive just searched all drains and surrounds again, this time really going under the hedges. I am really beginning to believe he is just not here. All the neighbours properties have been searched too. Going to go back and go thru the neighbours horse paddock again in case horse kicked him or something, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Police said I cant list him as stolen as I have no verifiable reason to believe it. He's listed as missing with all the pounds etc. Lovely girl at a pound ages away put him in the system for me, much more helpful than pounds closer to me who just took my details but not his chip details.

schnauzer Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hi Clyde Have you checked any rabbit burrows/holes as this is where my friends JRT was found - stuck down a hole. Hope he is home very soon for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Maybe totally stupid idea but could you/have you tried using your dogs (eg Esme) to help looking for him on your property? (Fingers very, very crossed) I took her with me earlier but she showed no signs of knowing where he was. I have no rabbit burrows here but will certainly check further afield. I know this might sound silly, Alvin is a small Pug and also lean and fit. I wonder if a large bird of prey took him? I know it sounds stupid but perhaps one was circling for a chook or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben and Jerry Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Best of luck with the search. Fingers crossed Alvin is found safe. Can't imagine what you and your family must be going through at the moment . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 if there are wedgetails around , it is a possibilty..there would have to be a fair amount of free airspace to swoop down..along and up again .. They take rabbits/l,and small lambs , etc .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilaryo Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I know exactly how you feel Clyde But don't give up hope if he has gone wandering - he may just turn up out of the blue. That's what happened with one of our girls - 3 days later. Posters all over the area are well worth while. It's amazed me that we got calls from people in really out of the way areas that had sighted our girl. Even friendly dogs that normally love strangers can become terrified and not let people approach them when lost. Fingers and toes crossed that your Alvin is found or wanders home soon.
