Star, hang in there, we all know of stories about dogs that are found months later and I bet all those worried owners came to the point that you are.

When all this first started I reminded you to keep checking for the department that is responsible for animals found on the road. They may not check chips but they do keep records, of she had been found that way I think you would know.

Take care, don't lose hope, but do try to take comfort from the fact that she has obviously found a home, she is probably fine, she is behaving herself or they would have moved her on, the hard part is that although she is fine and the new owners are fine, you are not, so please look after you and let time take it's course, I still think she will surface,

Hang in there, we are all still hanging in there with you.

I am keeping positive. I have to, for me there's no other way, to submit to thinking the worst is to give up....and I aint about to do that!! I have my down times....of which are many....but that's just being human with our human logic and emotions.

This morning there was a phone call at 7.30. A lady heard on Northants radio that a milkman picked up a black Lab. Their offices dont open till 9, so Im waiting for a call back.

A butcher rang as well asking if Maggie was still missing, as he has a poster up in his shop. He was lovely and will keep it there and will tell the locals to keep looking. It was the locals who asked about her. Villagers are fantastic :-*!

Re PH's post.......I have over the weeks rung the council asking if they have found any dogs that had been hit on the roads. Our councils policy is to scan every domestic animal they find and get in touch with the owner.

Even though I keep as upbeat as I can, sometimes these awful thoughts do creep in. Grrr I banish them and get on with positive thinking. You guys have helped so much with positive feedback and posters and watching found dog sites (there are so many sites, I cant possibly cover all of them).

When I need a boost I come on here, mostly when Im low.......because I know when I read reply posts you all lift me up again.

I have never had so much support from people Ive never met....you're all fantastic xxxx

Maggie will be coming home!! C'mon radio Northants, RING!!

Really, really hope this is going to be good news for you.

Good luck Star.

I made the call and got through. The milkman.......now known as Mark....was lovely he rang me back twice with the man's addy he left the dog with. I went over, the old man said his dog wouldn't get on with the Lab. So he left the Lab in the garden, the Lab promptly jumped the fence and chased after the Mark the milkman's delivery van again. Unknown to Mark.

The old man watched helpless as the dog turned its attention to a woman walking her dog and tried to make friends there. After that he lost sight.

I have put several posters up in the village, everyone knows each other......its so small there's no shop or PO. Just a pub and houses.......typical English village. Very pretty.

A lady rang just as I got home, one who I'd spoken to in the village, she said the description matches Maggie. But....and its a big but, this dog is said to be between 9 months and a year. So I actually don't think its her, also its extremely friendly. Maggie is timid, but who knows? After time on her own (if its her) she may be craving company and she does look younger than her years.....a bit like me.... ::)humph!

In any case, all sightings have to followed up, 7 weeks is a long time and a dog can travel a very long way. I also saw some council workers, I gave them a poster to put in their office. They work for Daventry council and sometimesthey scan for chips at the depot. Its a pity there's not a policy across the board for all councils to the same.

I think if the Jesters law could be enforced that would be a good start. The site wasn't active when I looked.....I mentioned that in another post. I will try again.

Jeannine I hope you get some sleep...........xxx

Thanks for all the ongoing and new support xxx

psssst guys........she tells me off for being up late. Hehehe I think Jeannine isthe queen of 'late'!! ;D

Jeannine · « **Reply #133 on:** July 14, 2010, 20:36:40 »

Oh what a shame.. but Star, she will have learned some street cred over the weeks, she has probably found that being friendly is not so scary after all and might have got quite good at it. I notice on the picture she is not a heavy looking lab, that might account for them estimating her as a young dog, so on the basis of those things I wouldn't discount the possibility.

Thanks everyone, I cant give up. I would hate to think I got lost and my family gave up on me. Today is a forced day off, hubby needs the car. It does me good now and again, I also have to catch up with normal things of everyday living.

Ugh.....that means housework.......... >:(
