owl Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 We are back. Thanks for posting, Sarah, I think I sent a text to you by accident but at least it reached a Fugee and got posted. Difficult weather for a search, drizzly and misty. Woodford Lane has a few houses and a farm at the top, then goes into a narrow concrete track which is signed "unsuitable for motor vehicles" and leads to some more farms. 4wd only I think. I wouldn't have taken my car down there. We walked quite a way down but the concrete was so slimy underfoot with a thin layer of cattle slurry in places that I came back and decided to concentrate on asking at houses rather than risk going further and walking back in poor light. Lesley and Dibs went to search as well but seem to have got garbled directions and came back home as too late to do much today. I think I will leave that track to Lesley's 4wd. Lianne will be there first thing tomorrow. The area we are looking in has well-fenced fields, mostly empty, some further down with sheep. behind the farms at the bottom of the slippery slope is an area of heathland and trees. My journey was not pointless as I stuck a notice with phone numbers on the filling station door, and also spoke to the farmer on whose fields he was last seen as well as other local residents. He is a pound dog travelling to rescue, so may have a photo, I don't know yet. He is a big golden fawn lad, smooth coated, about 10 months old.

raceylacy Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi I live south of Haverfordwest - I will forward this on to a friend who's family farm in the Narbeth/Templeton area which I think is in the Robeston Wathen area in Pembrokeshire. Owl will pm you to find out what's what and see if I can come and help tomorrow morning ........ Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raceylacy Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) If anyone needs a location, Woodford Lane leads towards the Canaston Woods and Blackpool Mill area - might be a few 'trippers' in the area walking dogs etc tomorrow now the holidays have started. The woods will at least provide plenty of cover, if that's where he's in the area of. I will hopefully be along tomorrow to help with the search. and Leanne if you're reading this, I will give you a ring in the morning on you're mob - too late to ring you now .....

owl Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I can't get there until later today. If Lesley TF reads this before I ring her: please call me for raceylacey's phone number so we can all co-ordinate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hazel, the Doglost co-ord for Pembs, has returned home after a couple of days away. I've given her the relevant numbers so she is likely to be making contact with people shortly. She is not far from Haverfordwest and knows the area pretty well. She tells me there is a dog training club in Llandewi Velfrey who might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushpuppy Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I just wanted to wish all the searchers good luck finding this poor dog. Having been involved in the search in Derbyshire for Inra for several weeks I know how hard it is to sight a frightened dog. My thoughts are with you and I hope and pray you are lucky today.

sparkle Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 If he is still missing this weekend (really really hope he isn't) Jack and I will join the search on our way to Newport as we pass through there, will keep in contact with Phebe and work out where we're going ... although hopefully we won't be needed as this boy will be safe soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
