Can everyone who is looking out for our puppies please pm me with your email address. I will send you a photograph of Bee as she is now, to give you an idea of what you are looking for.

I was at Court this morning with my friend Tracie, there for moral support. I put everyone else off as I had been told by the CPS that it was only a plea. The defendant rocked up an hour and 15 minutes late, showing complete contempt for the Court. Never mind, it gave me time to become acquainted with PC Dunn, who shook the hand I offered him but then gazed at the floor, clearly in embarrassment at the poor job he has done for our puppies. Into Court 4 at Wood Green Crown Court, the defendant was arraigned (burglary and handling stolen goods), and pleaded not guilty. This appeared to astound the Judge, who advised the defendant's counsel to address the somewhat weird situation of the defendant accepting she was at the scene, but not knowing it was a burglary and not taking part. Maybe the puppies answered the door and asked to be rehomed in lovely Tottenham. Indeed, the Judge did not appear impressed at all, particularly upon hearing that the defendant has a string of convictions for dishonesty. Whereas the defendant previously had unconditional bail, he imposed a condition of residence. The trial will not take place until ...... wait for it.......October 2008. Doesn't matter, I can wait. If I can wait as long as it takes for the puppies to come home, then I can wait to see justice done. I will post the trial date when I know it. I kept my head this time, and my dignity, despite some murmurs as we left Court. All I want is the puppies to come home. I keep looking, and will never ever give up. Thank you for all your kind messages. Keep looking for Sissy, Gerry, Girl and Puppy 2, Little Boy, whose life I saved on the day he was born and whose life I would love to be involved in.

POSSIBLE SIGHTING IN ISLINGTON AREA - CLISSOLD PARK, NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE. Heard from a woman this morning who saw some black youths with 2 brindle puppies looking very much like Little Boy and Little Girl. Neither of them on leads and no collars. When asked why not, no reasonable answer. PLEASE, ALL YOU HACKNEY AND ISLINGTON PEOPLE, KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED. THEY ARE GETTING BIG NOW BUT STILL HAVE THAT FLOPPY PUPPY WALK. For a photograph of how Bee is looking now, email me on sallybeggs@blueyonder.co.uk

So glad to see so many in the blue over the last couple of days, and I find myself wondering will our little guys ever join them? I will never, ever give up, but am I going to be stalking the streets with my posters in months, or even years' time? The thing that scares me is that they were so tiny when they were taken. No microchips, no tags, nothing. They will probably have learnt new names now and forgotten us. I hope wherever they are, they are safe and looked after, and that they are not being ill-treated. It feels like looking for a needle in a haystack, and right now it feels so hopeless. When I get to sleep, which isn't often, I'm having weird puppy dreams. My house is a tip. I can't concentrate on much other than this site. Don't know what I would do without it.

Just got back from an evening out postering more of Tottenham and Edmonton. Think I've done every other telegraph pole. Th Ebay advert may be working. XXXXXXX POSSIBLE SIGHTING XXXXXXX. I had a call from a man today who reports he has seen a puppy looking just like Gerry, SISSY'S sister. He saw the ad on Saturday night, and on Sunday morning was at a car boot sale in Chelmsford. Saw a puppy he was sure was Gerry with a middle-aged couple. Said she looked well cared for. He spoke to them, admiring the puppy and asked where they got her. The woman blurted out that her son had found the pup wandering in the street in London. Observant man then said to the couple that he was sure the pup was one of a stolen litter he had seen on Ebay. At that, the man said "bo....ks" and pulled the woman away. The man followed them to their car and took the number plate. Anyone know this couple? New white and brindle puppy, blue Toyota Celica. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, all those Doglost people in the Chelmsford area, pm me for the new poster, and begin postering.

have just spent a heartbreaking 2 hours at Edmonton and Enfield police station viewing and ruling out 3 puppies that I was so certain were ours. Virtually all their physical characteristics matched our pups, other than the fact that one bitch would have had to be a dog to be ours. We know the ones we saw today all came from the same litter, so they couldn?t have been ours. We are devastated. I was sure ? 150% sure - that they were ours, but I was wrong. I usually don?t mind being wrong, but this time it really hurts. At first I felt a fool ? but having given it some thought, I?m not. I fought ? we all fought ? for what was right, and for the police to take us seriously. I hope they don?t think I am a fool too. I?m sad that 3 little pups spent hours in kennels ? and that is down to me. I am sorry that their owners were arrested. I want to thank officer Nick Miller, for his respectful approach and for treating me so courteously. I also want to thank Borough Commander Simon Thomas for finally making things happen, and I want to apologise to Paul Dunn for the rude emails he apparently got however, I still believe that had he taken me more seriously at the beginning we could have cleared this up more quickly and less painfully. Having said all that, I still believe that dogs need better laws, and I am certain that all of us who are grieving for missing dogs will feel that too. I want to thank the very special person who did so much to try and reunite us with our puppies ? you know who you are, and you should not feel bad that it didn?t happen. You tried, and you were right to do that. I very much appreciate it. I hope that more people like you come forward and that we have more luck. I want to thank Doglost and all you helpers - you are absolutely fantastic. For now, there is still an empty space on my bed for Sissy, and her brother and sisters are terribly missed. We carry on looking, and one day we will find them. Keep postering, and don?t forget SISSY and her brother

I'm so sorry. In my frazzled state of anxiety and fatigue - not sleeping too well at all - I gave you the wrong email address (and name!) of the officer in the case. His name is Paul, not Mike. Don't know where that came from, just know I'm so tired. Try Paul.Dunn@met.police.uk or Paul.Dunn@met.pnn.police.uk. The Simon Thomas address is correct. Thanks, and once again, so sorry for wasting your time.

A long complaint has gone into the Borough Commander of the police tonight. Local and national press were copied in, as was head office of Doglost. I expect to hear back tomorrow. We watched the address tonight and heard our puppies. Very good reasons for not going in to get them.....although I would have loved to. Won't be long now.

PUPPY ONE AND TWO HAVE BEEN SIGHTED AND THE POLICE ARE DOING NOTHING. Following a positive sighting and then seeing one of the pups ourselves - definitely puppy two, we reported the matter to the police. Yesterday I was informed by a DC at Edmonton police station that search warrants were written out and would this morning be presented at Court. Today I got a call from the officer in the case - PC Dunn at Edmonton. He now tells me he knows nothing about the warrants, that he will not even visit the addresses until next week, and even then, if the people holding our puppies say they bought them legitimately, they will leave them there, give us the details, and we will have to take out a civil case. They will not get them back. They have also refused funding for a DNA test. I told them that in this case, we will have to go and get the pups back ourselves. He told me not to do that, as we might then get arrested. SOMEBODY HELP US. WHAT DO WE DO?

We always thought that at least some of the puppies would turn up in East London. A couple of weeks ago I postered around Walthamstow Greyhound Stadium in Chingford. Today I got a call from a chap who had seen the posters and was sure he had seen at least one, maybe two of the pups in the E4 area close to where his mate lives. He was able to give us pretty good directions. We drove down there and we saw one of the puppies. Could do nothing at the time, due to having a car full of dogs, kids and the fact that the man walking the pup had a baby with him. We are going to the police right now. I will be telling them that we are only interested in getting the puppies back. Please keep everything crossed - we've had a week of vile crank calls and false leads.

I have a strong feeling that Sissy and Gerry are in East London and that is why they haven't been sighted. I was in Stratford on Friday and postered the town center and all along Romford Road. Can I ask that East London helpers begin postering. I'm thinking Hackney, Plaistow, Forest Gate, Walthamstow, Stratford, Canning Town, Tower Hamlets. And I still think some of the others are in Tottenham.

Very grateful to majorjet, who has provided new posters and leaflets for our search. We will be attending a local festival tomorrow, and will leaflet the whole crowd. We will also have a "have you seen our puppies?" banner. We are so tired of driving round and following up leads that lead nowhere. But hey, tired is nothing. Our puppies are missing us, missing their mum. We will just carry on and on until they come HOME. Please study the photographs and remember SISSY and her brother and sisters.

We think this little boy has been sighted on the recreation ground at Elsynge Road, Bullsmoor Lane/A10. Walked off the lead (I despair) by a young black man. Yesterday was in the company of another black man on a bike, with another puppy. May have been little Girl.

We have spent the last couple of days following up a couple of leads, one seeming to go nowhere, another quite promising. Postering and newspaper reports really seem to be helping. So many kind people willing to help. Thank you all. Please keep your eyes peeled when around Edmonton, Bullsmoor Lane and West green Road in Tottenham. The little girl who was returned is growing fast, approaching 8 weeks now and about a foot tall. Her brother and sisters will be the same size, and looking quite staffy now. If you need to call me, please have patience. I ped my phone down the loo this morning and need to go and get a new one. Some posters have been removed, will be out tonight replacing them. Anyone in the Barnet /Southgate area seen anything? Dog warden still heard nothing. I think in a couple of weeks when people are getting fed up of having to keep the pups indoors, then we'll get some results. All you people who have dogs missing from the Enfield/Haringey area, can we get together to try and raise awareness locally?

This puppy is such a gorgeous little munchkin! Agree that puppies do grow and change rapidly, my youngster just looks like a skinny adult at 7 months old. Really feel sorry for the breeder who has found responsible home for the pups and now does not know where they are. In an ideal world money should not have to change hands, but maybe the offer of a reward might motivate people to offer them back....

Hi Sally, If the Police are giving you the run around there is only one way to get straight answers. Take Monday off. Go to the police station and ask to see the officer in charge of the case. If he's not with you within 10 mins phone your local newspaper and advise them of your ongoing story. Then go back to the desk and ask to speak to the officers superior, and then his superior, and then his superior until you get someone. Don't be fobbed off. Keep the newspaper advised every hour and make sure the front desk hear you doing it. Don't leave the building. If there is no one available to give you the information you require from 9 am until 4pm I am certain the newspaper will run the story the next day. Even if they don't mention your dog blackmail case they will mention that there was no one available at the police station all day. Most police officers do care and want to help. But they are not helping you now. It could be that they think you will cause a fracarr (however you spell it) if you find out who this person is. Reassure them you want harm them or their property, just that you want to investigate what's happened. Good luck.

If someone is over the age of 18 and has been charged with a criminal offence for which they will appear in court you have a right to know their name. It is public knowledge. I used to have media call me all the time saying they had heard someone had been charged with such and such offence and they wanted to cover the court appearance and, therefore, could they have the name. It is public record - sally, will try and ring you monday re this and see if we can find out what is going on. if i forget, ring me via hq. also get on to the edmonton newspapers immediately.

I have now had 2 sightings of tiny puppies that sound like ours in the Church St/Winchester Road area of Edmonton, N9. In particular, it looks like the female tiger brindle is in the possession of a young man, possibly teenager, of mediterranean appearance. Little tiger girl was seen tied to a post outside the kebab shop in Winchester Road, while the man went inside. I've just been down there and postered everywhere. The kebab shop owner was very helpful and put up a poster inside the shop. He also said he thought he may have seen one of the white puppies. Do you know this man? Please keep looking. I am on 07958 535128. I can't believe that young people find it so amusing to make crank calls. So far I've been told that our pups are in the river Lea, in the caller's freezer, and that they have killed them. Good thing I am a tough old boot and impervious to this nonsense. Please keep looking.

I have just discovered from the police, after trying to speak to them for a week, that the person they have charged in relation to the theft of our puppies is a woman. They will tell me little else, other than that she does not live in the borough of Enfield. She had 2 male accomplices and was traced because an off-duty police officer was walking past the flat as they came out with the puppies. The officer took a note of the car registration number. Clearly thought something was wrong - why didn't they intervene? The woman will probably get community service, I was told. I despair, I utterly despair. How can a person like that have anything to offer the community? please keep looking.

Had a call from a lady today who thinks she was offered one of the pups by a couple of young boys last Thursday (26/07) or Friday (27/07), in Church Street Edmonton. She has only just seen the poster. She said the boys were of mediterranean appearance, possibly Greek or Turkish. She told them to take it back to it's mum as it was too young to be alone. They told her it was 13 weeks, but it clearly wasn't. She said she saw a police car shortly after and it went after them. Why haven't I heard about this from the police? Please keep looking.

Thank you to everyone who has contacted me about our puppies. It really gives us hope that they will be found. Your words have been a great comfort. I am hearing that lots of pups turn up in Swanley, and Jenny is looking there tirelessly. Thank you Jenny. Have had no recent news from the police, and not sure what led them to the person who had little Gucci (shocking name, not guilty). Please keep looking - our babies are out there somewhere, and someone knows just where.

Reading this I am absoutely disgusted to call myself part of the human race. This is a puppy that should still be with its mother and yet because some (badwordhere) wants to get some quick dosh he or she thinks they have the right to steal these puppies. I hope the thief is found but even if they are the chances are the won't be punished. This is awful and these babies are in my thoughts.

So you know how much this little boy means to me, I want to tell you his story. Eve was en elderly first-time mum, and her first puppy was born dead. She was so preoccupied with trying to revive him, that when this little one came along, she couldn't find time to clean him up. I had to remove him from his sac, and because he wasn't breathing, I gave him the kiss of life and heart massage. We were all so happy when he started to breathe and suckle from mum. Where I had to cut his umbilical cord, his navel is slightly pronounced. Please try to find Boy. Sally

This is so awful. Posters need to be displayed as soon as possible on notice boards, lamp posts, entrances to parks, dog bins and on cars. Take posters to vets, pet shops, postmen (for sorting offices), milkmen, dustmen, street cleaners, taxi drivers, schools, pubs, youth clubs, newsagents, post offices, takeaways, dog training clubs, supermarkets and car parks. Hand out reduced-down posters or cards to people - especially dog walkers - and deliver to houses and businesses. Police stations, Dog Wardens, the RSPCA and all rescue centres need checking frequently and preferably visited in person by owner or someone who knows the pups well. Come home soon babies and stay safe until then x

This little boy is one of a litter of 6 stolen in the afternoon of Wednesday 25 July. The thief kicked the door in and took them all while mum Eve must have been going mad. Poor Eve misses them terribly. So do we - the puppies all had loving responsible homes to go to. We are absolutely heartbroken. The little white girl with 2 eye patches is called Sissy and was going to stay with us forever. At least we have one little girl back, who is now with her mum once again. Please help us, and remember they will be growing fast. Sally
