None. I'm actually at the stage of hoping someones pinched her at least then she's hopefully somewhere warm and comfortable. Been out with all the other dogs again this pm and just no sign of her :(

I'm so sorry to hear this . . . I had hoped I would see a post from you saying she had been found. Thinking of you and please keep us posted.

Sorry to hear Lily's missing, hope the morning brings good news...and a bark at the door...go on FB and post it on Wiltshire horse riders and also the wiltshire horsewatch page..poss the rural crimes team page too-look on wilts horse watch & they should be under their 'likes' yell if you are stuck...also FIND BROOK on fb...they are all keeping eyes peeled for a missing stolen choc lab & are a lovely group of people Uk wide-they will cross post if you ask...x positive thoughts for you & Lily's safe return x
 
I remember doing a walk round the museum and loosing Dylan I had been looking for 45minutes and got lost myself in the woodland, so headed back for the road and accross the site, the little bugger was sat outside my OH office ! ! !

But the feeling in my throat was horrible.

Hopefully she has just got a bit lost rabbiting and might tag long with another dog walker soon.

Fingers crossed for you x
 
Thank you all, I feel like I'm losing the plot. Had yesterday off work (pre-booked for OH's birthday - now down in history as his worst birthday ever), went back in today and promptly got sent home again as I burst into tears as soon as someone asked me if I'd had a lovely day off :o

I've spent the morning going from village to village putting up posters in the shops, at the cattle market, in Countrywide etc and stopping random people like the local Wildlife Hospital van and the guys working to clean out the ditches and making them take copies of the poster.

Then put on a pair of boots that I rapidly discovered to be leaky to stomp round the one field we couldn't get to because of bulls / mains electric fencing before and one that was unlikely but we'd only checked in the dark before to no avail.

Really think she has been stolen now - found out when talking to people in Cricklade that she's the 3rd dog in the last 2 weeks to go missing locally. One was stolen and returned, but a shih-tzu dog about the same age as Lil was taken from a garden last week... am now having nightmares of bl**dy designer dog breed idiots having the pair of them.

(no she's not spayed... we were undecided whether to breed from her or not - we've been told by a ridiculous amount of people what a good example she is and if we were going to would have had all checks etc done.. the decision to spay or not to spay was going to be made this year).
 
:( so sorry for you, Just a thought, and I'm not sure if I should or shouldn't mention this but hey ho; Local family lost their lurcher, was found at the local travellers site :( ( not sure how they got in tbh ) Fortunately they had lots of photos's so could prove the dog was theirs!
 
Believe me that theory has come up a number of times :( We have several sites locally and are on good terms with most... comment from one was that if they saw her they would "make sure she gets returned" and I believe they would.
 
Really sorry your in this situation flood your area and surrounding areas with posters, try and get a add out in your local paper and go to the radio. If she has been stolen make her too hot to handle. Good luck x
 
So sorry, I know how hard it is. we are in the same boat just now. Bella did the same thing. call all the local rescue places dogs trust etc. there is alfies lost dogs, dogslost, lostdogs, missing dogs, dogpages, vivastreet. don't just call the local pound once, do it daily, even if you bug them, i think dogs slip thro the net and not get scanned. Bella has her own fb page and I share it everywhere https://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#!/pages/Bring-Bella-Home/239576989447478
they are quite similar. Hope you get her back soon.
 
Might be worth speaking to VWH and asking whether their terrier men would come out and have a look for her. If there is a slim possibility she is stuck down a hole they may know where all the badger setts/fox earths are. Fingers crossed you get her back soon. Have you told all the vets in Cirencester/Malmesbury?
 
Just a thought but hay barns have you looked around these, in the winter rats come and burrow in and in the past My heelers have got themselves stuck hunting rats. Also big bale silage is another favourite site for rats and would prove irresistable to a dog like a JR.
 
Keep your hopes up. I was once driving home from work near Frome and nearly ran over a terrier who was wandering on the A road, choking on a piece of stick stuck in her throat. No houses nearby and asked at local PO etc, nothing, nor from council dog warden or shelters. I got the stick out of her throat!

She stayed with me for a week or two, and I had the vet take off the ticks on her coat. Still no word of owner despite me asking everywhere near where I found her.

Then finally the PO that we first checked with rang us and said the owners had come forward. So she got to go home.

Wasnt that struck on the owners TBH but there we go, at least they got her back!

She had run about 6 miles away from home while out rabbitting with her pal.

So not everyone who takes in a dog (even young female entire) is a baddie, they may be trying to find you but not have heard yet.

My own dog has wandered and her microchip got her back to me, it is a no brainer as it saves so much heartache. Hopefully soon compulsory too.
 
One of my work colleagues mislaid one of her rotties on Thurs night. She Hunted for her til about 10pm, and took the day off work yesterday to look for her. Luckily she found her huddled against a gate at the far side of the woods about 3pm yesterday.

Very cold, and hungy but unharmed. I hope you get some good news soon.
