Please don't push Sazzy on this.

To lots of us, going to a medium makes as much sense as throwing darts at a map, if she doesn't want to do it then it doesn't mean she doesn't want to find Ruaridh.

Just popping in to see how it's going. I think of Ruaridh often, and have just lit a candle for him at his group on the gratefulness site. Zelda is lovely xx

I watched Ruaridh's youtube movie and was in tears. Such a beautiful face he has. I really hope he's home soon with you. xx

Again, can't remember if this has been covered...but are there any traveller sites anywhere near? I've seen some circus posters in my area, for half term, which got me thinking about travellers or travelling circuses. It's not unknown for travellers to take in a stray dog and keep him.

Zaksmum-no, we don't have traveller sites in our small town. Probably not enough to interest them here. The only time we got anything like that was early last year, when one caravan turned up in our office car park- but the police moved them on within 24 hours.

We had one circus, but that was back in July.

Anything at all that might have moved on? Builders, road worker gangs, that sort of thing?

Not at that time of year

Nairn opens in March/April- then seems to close its gates in September. Even anyone building anything seem to use the local builders.

No road works either.

Thanks for keeping thinking though:)

Constantly racking my brains to try to think of the one thing I'm sure we're all missing!

It's a shame you can't hire a plane to fly over the area with a big banner with Ruaridh's photo and 'have you seen this dog?' on it. Or one of those vans with the big advertising trailers to go round every road in the area.

ETA or a hot air balloon? Seriously. I have no idea how much it would cost, but you can go for hot air balloon rides for anniversary presents etc. If there is a company near you perhaps they would allow you to hang a banner from their balloon? I'm just trying to think laterally now. It would also make a good local newspaper article or local tv slot?

We do have little planes at Inverness airport, but I don't know the cost..I know someone who works there though- I could ask her to enquire while she's there (might even get a discount)

The van thing- I never thought of..would probably need to be for a full day as it'd probably need to go from Inverness through to Elgin, just wish we knew what direction he went in

He's been in the newspapers a few times-maybe time to start nagging again. We have tried to do a TV bit on him as well, but the TV doesn't seem to be interested at all. A lady was going to call me from the BBC but she hasn't yet-someone in Aberdeen is hassling them all the time about it.

I just want him home, or at least know what's happened to him. I think it's especially hard at the moment because Ross is coming home tonight, and we've got Zelda-we so want the old boy to meet her.

Until we get him home we'll keep him on page 1
