    But if you've picked up a dog that's lost and frightened - maybe if you live on your own - and like the company (who wouldn't)............there's a lot of selfish people out there. You'd be reliant on someone else who sees the person/people with a new dog to be aware there are reports of a missing black lab and put 2 and 2 together. I'm just wondering if this explains the reluctance at the caravan park? It just doesn't explain reluctance anywhere else.

    The caravan park seems to be a bit of a focus, just wondering if the management there would allow a blanket email to all the owners? They must have all their contact details??

    I've been thinking the caravan park all along. An email to all owners would be brilliant if the management would allow it, or if not maybe a leaflet sent out with rates demand or whatever?

    If posters are being taken down, someone's hiding something.

    About the new thread, it'd be good if it could perhaps be allowed to show when the main forum page is opened, not just when you go into the Pets board - that way the message would go to subscribers other than just pet owners.

    Glad had said a while back that they were going to do something along the lines of a sticky for this thread, or at least the most valid points from it , but nothing came of it.

    I don't know re the caravan park. The thing is- it was November when he disappeared, and about 99% of the caravans were closed up for the winter. It's a seasonal place which doesn't open between november and end of March, even though you can walk through it, and there's a maintenance staff there. I know most of them, and they've all got posters in their vans.

    It's just so odd that there's been nothing. No sightings, no wel..you know.

    To be honest ZM, I don't know myself. I've had to because Bruce and Zelda need me. They need fed, walked, cuddled. I really thought I was losing it- that's why I went away for a few days on my own. That helped a lot.

    It's bloody hard sometimes though.

    Just another thought, knowing that there are many millions that read this board, could another thread be started with a big picture of Ruaridh and a different tag line BLACK LAB MISSING 8 MONTHS FROM XXXX AREA, or something similar? The a brief description and contact through sazzy's profile, if a phone number isn't ideal?

    We could then keep it on the front page - as I can't see it being made a sticky - Sazzy what do you think?


    I am now going to publicly ask for this thread to be made a sticky. We have been asking for over 7 months now.

    I would appreciate a reply about this, and a reason as to why this has not happened? And if the answer is no then can i please request the reason why.
