    Just bringing the candles back again.

    I know the poster who said that they hoped Ruars was frightened outside and would get back was new, I don't think they had read all through the thread properly, or didn't know how long he has been lost because I don't think any of us wishes that on him.
    I certainly don't wish that he's still outside and frightened.
    Although I agree that we all want him back home soon, in the meantime I hope that he is being taken good care of.

    Thank you DD, I agree with you regarding the new poster.

    And let's face it- didn't we all wish at New Year-that he might be scared by fireworks again and find his way home? I know I posted that thought, even though I felt terribly guilty at the time about it.

    I'm a bit miserable today, had toothache for the last couple of days, and last night, I had a really big cry about the old boy- the first for a while. I try not to in case people think I'm being silly..but I was just SO darn miserable and sad-that I couldn't stop the tears flowing. :( It was not just the toothache- it was a physical ache to put my arms round him, and bury my head in his big warm neck. Sorry...flamin tears!

    Aileen, i feel for you, i really do. You are living in limbo with the not knowing & you really have been so incredibly strong. Have a cry when you need one, dont let anyone deny you that. All the upset and stress needs to come out somehow. You know that all of us on this thread are here for you and we understand how you feel.
    He will come home!
    *hugs* Mel x

    Oh Sazzy, we all do really feel for you, you have a good cry whenever you feel like it, you are very strong, I'm sure I would be in floods of tears all the time. No one who loves their animals thinks you're being silly.

    The one thing about having a big dog is that you can put your arms around them and bury your head in their neck when you are feeling low.

    Its the not knowing where he is and if he is safe that must worry you so much.

    I really do still believe that someone has got him, I certainly hope so anyway after all this time. I would hate to think of him living rough in that cold weather.
    No news is lots better than bad news. One day hopefully, the message will get through to whoever has got him that he has a family somewhere still looking for him and they'll be able to get in touch. Meanwhile, you just still have to keep trying to get the message out there.
    I wonder if the posties gave out your leaflets, I don't suppose you have been able to give them anymore?
    Don't forget to keep renewing the posters at the campsite, local shops etc.

    Keep hanging in there, he's got to be out there somewhere.
    Its such a shame that most of us are too far away to be of much help to you.

    Aw sazzy xxx It isn't at all silly or stupid to cry. You have to let it out somehow. I wish I could offer some comfort. xx

    The local caravan park will be opening up properly again soon and this weekend is expected to be quite warm...I have a feeling someone who hasn't been around all winter will be back in your area, will know something and you will hear news of Ruaridh.

    Fingers crossed!
