chrissie Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Area post code DH1 DogLost Listing Cross-posted: "Hi everyone, please would you help me find Ziggy? He's a 28" neutered male brown/black brindle shorthaired lurcher. He wriggled past my legs in fear of fireworks on the night of Sunday 4th Nov and ran away from home. There have been no sightings since. I'm doing all the usual things, he did have a collar on and is microchipped. Cash reward for safe return. My daughter and me are completely in bits, his lurcher pal Louie is pining - I miss him so much. There is a printable poster on doglost.co.uk: Ziggy poster Please help!!

chrissie Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) Am sure that would be fine Cath, I've not put it on LL and not checked to see if it's already there: but the more the better, generally Edited November 9, 2007 by chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissie Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 cross-posted update from yesterday: "Possible sighting, Langley Park near Durham, but on Wednesday. The poster campaign continues! " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesB Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Oh I hope it's him. I'll be going through Langley Park today, will take some posters with me. Have you had a walk over Hedleyhope Fell in case he's heading that way? Lots of dog walkers and horse people go on the fell so it might be worth putting posters up at all the car parks/entrances.

smirnoff Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Keep trying the dog wardens and pounds. Rochdale Dogs had loads in over the fireworks period and not everywhere is as well organised at that pound. I know that the company who pick up strays in the Manchester area picked up 87 dogs in one weekend when the fireworks were at their height. Keep asking police and dog wardens as messages often don't seem to get through when dogs are reported lost. Hope you find him soon. I do understand what an awful time this is for you.

chrissie Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I've passed your messages on, Jules & Diane, to Vikki whose dog it is; she's not able to validate her registation here until she gets to work on Monday, but says "Would you tell them, no more sightings and thanks for all their help - it keeps me going" Hopefully she'll be able to update or liaise with any offers of help from here herself by next week, but here's hoping he's home by then.

JulesB Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 (edited) I know from her post on doglost he might not be in the Langley Park area after all, but I put some posters in shops in Langley Park and Witton Gilbert today, one in our livery yard tack room and also nailed some to trees at a couple of popular dog walking spots. I hope she gets some news soon Edited November 10, 2007 by JulesB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiggysMum Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) Hi folks. Thanks Chris and everyone for all the cross posting. Well, to summarise, I'm in bits, he's (I hope) still out there somewhere - there appear to be countless brindle lurchers running about, none of whom are mine. Tomorrow, me and John-the-wonderfully-kind-dog-warden are going to have a look about Brandon. He may be skulking about in allotments, or down in the woods from Aykley Heads over to Belmont. or along the Deerness Valley Walk (old railway line). There again, I could be way off the mark but if anyone has taken him I hope they're being kind. Some very lovely people whom I shall not name without permission have offered a £500 reward for my boy's safe return... WOW! Why I need my dog back: his gorgeous eyes (brain the size of a peanut, full of all the love in the world)... his oh so elegant extended dressage trot... his big silly long biscuity-smelling werewolf-paws (yeah, yuk, but I bet I'm not the only one!)... his silly r-r-r-rowwwling greeting every morning... Suffice to say i ain't quitting yet! Thanks for everything you're all doing to help. WHEN we find him, party at my place!

eponadeb Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Ziggy's Mum, I've been following this and thinking of you. I live near Darlington which is a bit out of your catchment area I guess, but if there are are any potential sightings anywhere near me, or if there's anything else I can do please pm me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReikiAnge Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I'm nowhere near the area he's missing in, but really hope he is home with you very soon, safe and sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissie Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Sorry you've not had a new potential sightings; good luck with your hunt with the DW. I guess posters up even a bit outside the area would be good - if he's been taken in by someone rather than handed in then it may be outside the immediate area. Keeping everything crossed for better news soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
