    Another massive thank you to everyone for their support. If it hadn't been for all of you today- I don't know how I would have got through it. Sitting here like a big softie with tears pouring donw my face, some of it for Ruaridh and some just because everyone has been so supportive.

    I know some of you have joined the FB group where the continued messages of support have been so wonderful, they truely have kept me on my feet today.

    Probably be another sleepless night, but I'll need to try and get some- even if only a catnap..wish me good luck with that, won't be for a while yet though- just in case

    Sorry he hasn't come back yet but it sounds positive from everything you've said :)

    I just had to share a quick pic of my boy... he just crawled into my bed and zonked out, I think it's the first time he's slept all weekend!

    hya hun

    u have the group as request only? can u maybe change this so u dont have to accept anyone/everyone?
    it could deter someone with a small bit of info/sighting

    am soo pleased at all the support you are getting and the more the word is spread the better

    even tho i am miles away in sunderland i have told all my family and friends about ur ickle man. you can therefore only imagine how fast the word will spread in the local community...

    Aileen please dont beat yourself up - these things happen.
    you wouldnt put any harm in ur pooch's way - be proud at how much you love and care for your animal family.
    there are so many dogs allowed to roam the streets on their own.

    i am not one of these "talk to the animals freaks" but i honestly do feel Rory (sorry cannot spell either) will be safe.

    worst case scenario: the family who find him want to keep & love him and dont contact the police etc

    best case scenario: the family wait until monday to report their findings as they dont believe anyone works on a weekend

    i know you really need to be strong and get some sleep - but is there anyway u cud leave a gate open incase he finds his way home in the early hours??

    i dont think u can go back to work tomorrow - u would be hopeless :o (i know i would).

    everything crossed. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

    No doubt you will be staying home from work tomorrow, sazzy. Try to get some rest though. Hopefully you will have good news for us all tomorrow.

    Sazzy, I really hope you find him soon. I go out of my mind when my cowbag stays out longer than i'd like her to, so can only imagine how you must be feeling :-((

    I do have to work at least in the morning, but I work 5 minutes from home so can be there in a heartbeat.

    Think the group is sorted now so it's not request only sunflower.. I thought open meant free for all

    As for sleep, I still don't know about that..we'll see

    Thanks
