    Thanks again all. DD you are an angel with the candles.

    We put some down at the weekend, but it was quite quiet as the weather was bad. We'll be trying again this weekend, hopefully be sunny with a load of folk out and about.

    The staff at the caravan park don't want to put up posters again, but I'll work on them. We don't have a tourist info centre in Nairn. We used to but they shut it down a couple of years ago.

    Well that's all you can do. There are a few more Bank Holidays coming up, that's when the "Still Missing" posters might bring a result.

    Nobody can accuse you of not giving it your best shot though sazzy.

    You have been amazingly strong and have done everything in your power so far to bring the old fella back home. Let's hope we see a positive happy ending to all this very soon!

    Although I havnt been around not a day has gone by without me saying a prayer for Ruars, sazzy, and all her family.
    I hope and pray that he is still sat besides a warm fire and will return home in the spring when his foster family revisit the area.

    My candle is lit and my prayers have been said xxxxxxxx

    RIP TJ. You my be gone, but never forgotten. Always in our hearts xxx
    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
    You are his life, his love, his leader.
    He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
    You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

    It's been 23 weeks today since our old boy went missing. I just want to thank you all SO much for the 23 weeks of constant support, and keeping him on the front page.

    If it hadn't been for all of you encouraging me, PMing me and caring-I would have given up by now, and curled up in a heap.

    I honestly cannot thank you all enough for everything-posting or not. I know you're all there.

    You'd do the same for anyone in your position sazzy. Anyone who's ever loved a dog can empathise fully with your nightmare of these past months.

    Going from despair to hope and back again, following so many false leads, working your socks off with the posters and leaflets and phone calls...I don't know how you've held on to your sanity

    You've been incredibly strong and if any shred of support we can give you on here helps, we'll be happy with that.

    I'm still convinced, like many of us, that Ruars will come home.

    zaksmum is right. All dog lovers (or should I say animal lovers?) feel your pain and understand what you are going through. I too believe he will come home and until he does we will be right here supporting you. And then we will all have the biggest party ever when he does turn up. xx

    Yes, don't give up Sazzy, you've not heard any bad news of him and I'm sure he's still out there somewhere with someone taking care of him. Lets all hope that now Spring is on the way they'll return to the area and he'll find his way home again.
    Keep strong and keep up the work with the posters and leaflets, get the word out there that he is still missing and you are desperate to get him back.

    Don't worry, we'll keep him on the front page and keep lighting candles for him until he's home.

    What a reunion it will be when he does come home, especially when he finds you've got a lady friend for him too!!
    You'll have to invite us all up to yours for a party!!

    I'll provide the vol au vents and sausage rolls! I promise that when that old man comes home- there IS going to be the biggest shindig EVER. All dogs welcome :)
