When I was having a problem seeing old posters instead of new ones it was because I was accessing the site through a short cut on the tool bar. Even if I rebooted, I woudl still get the old posters. Now I access the site from new every time and I've not had a problem since. Must be ssomething to do with Chrome as that's what I use. xx
Gill
Its worked !!!! Went on via internet explorer instead of google chrome and its worked.Thankyou.XXXX
Gill
Thankyou.....keeping everything crossed.x.
B30
Gill until we get this sorted out I sent you some smallers flyers with the new photo on.
B30
Gill I don't know why you are still seeing the old photo on the poster. Have you refreshed the page?
Gill
I am sorry to be a pain,but I'm still getting the old poster.I looked at email and thats the same....help.x.
B30
Fingers crossed Gill

Possible sighting of Rex heading towards Gospel Lane.They said dog had a limp.A dog that is allowed to walk himself has a limp ,so not too sure.My husband has gone down to check it out.I have sent the caller a picture of the dog to see if they thought it is that one or Rex....Lady said her husband saw the saw and that he was brindle,they have a photo of Rex and thinks her husband would recognise him.

He's clearly tryng to get home but can't get across Stratford Road. He's getting closer. keep on doing all the brilliant things you're doing.
Gill
Possible sighting on The Bridle Path Shirley 5pm yesterday ...leads onto Stratford Rd on one end ans Solihull Lane the other.Man was pretty sure it looked like dog on poster.He was chatting to his wife about seeing dog on his own and she told him to go and look on a poster.He said he looked really scared. :-(
Gill
No sightings of Rex since last Wed/Thurs,dont know where to look or poster next.Just went to print some more posters and Rex's name has changed to Rex Sighted,is there any way I can edit that?
Gill
Posters all down Shirley Rd from Robin Hood replaced some more that had disappeared.Put flyers in houses that back onto playing fields by park(Oakhurst Rd)..I did Marie Drive and OakHurst Rd.I'll google the other rds to see where I need to do.A lovely lady brought me in tochat about Rex ,she knew of the man that fed him.She is gonna open her back gate and leave some food out to try and coax him in.Also twice today I thought I heard a familiar bark that was silensed when I started to call Rex...maybe just me wishfull thinking.Thanks to everyone that has helped again today and those still out there helping.Gonna try and get back out there in a bit.No new sightings.
Unknown
Hope Rex will be found soon and reunited. Stay safe Rex, until you are caught. Paws and fingers xd..

Phone number for Barnes Hill is 427 6111. Even though he is chipped ask for the Hospital number just to make sure he hasn't been picked up after an accident.

Dropping off poster to Shirley Post Office depot ask them to put it in the staff room.Post men go back there everyday after rounds.My niece has a local taxi firm looking for him and I'm going to ask a friend who delivers for Tesco to circulate around their drivers.More walking and postering today.39 hours since last sighting.Really hope the lady in the car picked him up and he is safe and warm.x
