Sometimes God take our fur babies far quicker than we like, but I am sure it is because they are so special and have already earnt their wings. Sweet Max will wait for you whilst you continue to earn your wings and then you will all be together again and this time you will never, ever have to part! God bless you all. x

2012-04-12 17:51 ClaireC

I am just so so gutted and sad for you both. May you both find some comfort in the knowledge that at least you had got him back rather than never knowing what had happened to him.

2012-04-12 12:03 Timaxe

I am so grateful to everyone for all their help over the past few weeks. Charlotte and I are devastated to report that unfortunately Max has been found and has sadly passed away. Not a better friend will we ever find. We are so thankful for the love and community spirit that everyone has shown us, and it has given us a bit more faith in humanity which so many times is criticised. We will miss Max like mad.

2012-04-12 09:35 ClaireC

Hi or even Tim & Charlotte if you want me to pick up some posters etc from you please feel free to give me a call on mobile.

2012-04-12 08:59 ClaireC

Hi Denise, hope your dog is a bit better now. Perhaps you could give me a ring on 07887652916. I can help you target some other areas if you need some help? I am free most of today.

2012-04-12 08:42 denise

Are you having waterproof posters printed? If you could give me some to put up it would be good to spread the word. Mix 96 did Quigley so this would be an idea for Max too. Is there other areas now to spread out to with posters or even flyers through doors, what about Dinton and Haddenham? Let the pubs know too.

2012-04-11 22:17 ClaireC

Have you thought about asking Mix 96 (local radio station) to put out details of Max. Tel No 01296 393396. They are usually pretty good about putting out usually twice a day.

2012-04-11 13:38 ClaireC

Hi did a tour around some parts of Stoke Mandeville, Bishopstone,Marsh, Ford & Kimble this morning. Spoke to some people who work at the 2 units near Travellers Site and left a poster just in case they see Max. Spoke to some builders who knew about him and said they were always on the lookout. Put a couple of posters up along Bishopstone way. It did occur to me that although as you are coming from Bishopstone over railway bridge I assume you have turned left as there is a poster at the bottom, I turned right and it could possibly do with a few down that lane. Sorry by this time I had finished putting mine up and ran out! Could be a thought if anybody going that way tomorrow. Has anybody enquired at the Travellers Site as yet?

I'm not that familiar with this area, but I know that across the fields from Bishopstone there is Ford village with a biggish industrial estate on a former mushroom farm - some people working there take their own dogs to the industrial est and it's also a dog walking route. Worth calling in there and postering if any one is able.

2012-04-10 19:30 ClaireC

Hi, have you enquired down at the Travellers Site at Bishopstone by any chance? There are also a couple of little car mechanic places there and whilst I did enquire last week from one of them what about a poster down there as well. I can put some down there tomorrow. As a further thought once the travelling fraternity children see the posters they will be on the phone to you just to make you aware. Also, as you have postered Stoke Mand. direction it may be good idea to contact Rail network as he would have had to have crossed the rail line. Thinking of other places, what about Tiggywinkles - who knows somebody up there may have seen him and I do know my local vet works up there some evenings and somebody may have mentioned seeing Max thinking he is a stray. Will be out and about area tomorrow looking.

Thank you so much for continuing to look for Max. We have had a long weekend out and about looking still but no further news. Placed posters and had announcements made at the Kimble point to point, but no response so far. We have placed further posters in the Stoke Mandeville area in case Max has walked on from Bishopstone in that direction. If anyone is able to go out looking perhaps this is the best target area? Thanks again everyone.

2012-04-09 17:42 ClaireC

Went all over the same places and then went all over them again! Spoke to a runner and a few walkers around Bishopstone area but they hadn't seen anything. Another man who was sat reading his paper in an entrance to a field in blue transit van nr Kimblewick hadn't seen anything but took tel number just in case. Can go out tomorrow afternoon if you would like me to target any particular area. Please let me know.

2012-04-09 11:54 ClaireC

Hi just about to go out and about Bishopstone, Marsh etc area. If Denise or Tim & Charlotte etc is reading this in the next half hour and want me to drive to any other area please ring me on mobile 07887652916. I'm not handsfree but will stop and call you back if driving.

Hi, I came back from up North early (bit wet, white and windy!) Had a drive around Bishopstone & Marsh area yesterday evening but NIL to see. Has anyone checked up on Travellers Site as yet at Bishopstone? I know there is nothing at Weston Turville Site to report.

Hi Denise, no news so far. Thank you to everyone who has rung with sightings around bishopstone. Hopefully we will meet him soon. Tim

2012-04-07 16:41 denise

Hi Tim and Charlotte, Heard your message over the loud speaker at Point to Point as I was giving out flyers. My daughter saw the posters, any luck? I am around on Monday so if there is any area you want me to cover, let me know.

2012-04-07 16:40 Timaxe

Thank you. Completed more leafleting around the area and at kimble.

2012-04-07 08:59 Stevie T

Mrs T covers the area (with Stan) - All fields etc on the ECT land between Bishopstone and Aylesbury- and runs the roads every other day- but sorry no sign from any of the dog owners in the Aylesbury direction- your sign are beening seen and out buildigs checked- Manor Farm Bishopstone

2012-04-06 22:12 denise

Drove round Marsh and into Bishopstone, it was like a ghost town, no one around!Went for a walk towards Dinton from there but nothing and not a person to spread the news to. Sorry. If you want to drop off posters, flyers in my letterbox at any time, please do. May see you at the point to point, if not good luck.

2012-04-06 16:52 Shereen

bumped due to sighting

2012-04-05 18:16 Timaxe

Hi Denise, Charlotte is out looking now, I will be again tomorrow morning. Any assistance is obviously very gratefully recieved.

2012-04-05 18:05 denise

Hi Tim and Charlotte, I am around tomorrow afternoon if you want to do a concentrated search or tell me where I could go. If this is a positive sighting we need to act quickly before he goes walk about to other areas.

2012-04-05 17:25 Timaxe

We have had a call from a lady saying she definately saw Max walking down the main road in Bishopstone yesterday evening at 5.30pm between March and Stone. Please could anyone locally keep a look out for him!

Hi Timaxe have been out and about in Dinton, Eythrope,(spoke to a lady dog waker here and she will keep an eye out and suggested that if she sees Max to call the dog warden) Stone, Haddenham, Ford, Owlswick (again) likewise Meadle, Bishopstone and Marsh. I left you a voice message to say that in Marsh at some pre-fabricated chalet type bungalows Stable Farm I spoke to an old lady who apparently has lived there for 20 years and has a GSD and JRT she said her GSD was going berserk early hours of this morning towards the back fields as opposed to railway line frontage. She hasn't seen any dogs around but it is a thought for you as not too far away. Best way to describe the area is coming from Gt Kimble past White Swan Pub before you go under railway bridge bear left onto Bishopstone & Marsh. Which then means the railway line will be on your right just down the road on the left hand side are these pre-fab chalet type bungalows. If you were to head on further down the lane you would arrive at the T Junction with Prince of ? Pub house. Hope this helps with directions if you decide to go out and about that way or indeed any of the "walkers". I am now away for the Easter but will look eagerly at this page on my return and hope to see Max in the "Blue". Good luck.

I can get out and about Dinton area tomorrow afternoon. Will report after. Good luck for those searching elsewhere tomorrow for any of the other missing dogs in this area. We all carry treats and different sizes of leads these days!

2012-04-03 20:42 Timaxe

Hi guys, thank you so much for your posts. We came so far with Denise's dog but it wasnt Max. Also we will keep a look out around Dinton - Denise, Diana, Jayne and Claire thank you so much for your support, we will keep our eyes peeled!

Hi Timaxe Hampden Vet Hosp Tel No is 01296 423666. My husband and I have walked from Wendover and have done the Aylesbury Ring. So sorry have not seen your dog or indeed any dogs today. My be an idea to keep an eye on the Travellers site at Bishopstone just in case your dog has made it down there especially as Meadle is not that far.

2012-04-03 17:18 Dinton Dog Walker

Hi, My name is Diana Merry and I am the Dinton Dog Walker. On Friday afternoon (30th of March) there was a young man late twenties / early thirties with brown hair & moustache walking a young black labrador outside Dinton Church on the road towards Ford. I know all the dogs & owners in Dinton, there are several black labs, but I never saw this man & black lab before. It may be nothing but thought it worth mentioning. I will keep an eye out and have circulated your search poster amongst my clientele & various other people. I sincerely hope you find Max. Hamden Vet Hospital wondered whether Max is microchipped, might be worth contacting them. Kind regards, Diana - Dinton Dog Walker

2012-04-03 16:54 denise

Hi, I live in Meadle very near to Ford.On Sunday I was just going out for a walk and saw a man with a red setter going up my road and a black lab (very friendly) went up to him. We have quite a few black labs in our village so didn't think much about it and it may of been one of them, I didn't know about Max then. The man, I think looked at his collar (did Max have his collar on?) I didn't recognise the man with the setter but if I see him again I will ask about it. I am always looking out for Quigley and Teddy so will also look for Max.

2012-04-03 00:23 Ruth

It might be a good idea to send alerts to HP14 too. I'm in that postcode area and only about 8 miles from Ford.

2012-04-02 19:28 ClaireC

Hi shereen, there are quite a few farms in that area as well. I hope the owners have contacted the various farms just in case Max is seenin any of them.

2012-04-02 17:50 Shereen

Timaxe as you are from a farm,please please would you look between all hay and Straw bales and even under them!...dogs dont always bark when their stuck they go quiet...we recently had a dog found months later sadly where he had fallen down between bales then dug under them so there was no way of getting out : (

2012-04-02 17:28 ClaireC

Hi, I've been out most of the time since this morning. I have driven around (very slowly) from back roads of Stoke Mandeville thro' to Marsh, Owlswick onto Ford and back around down to Haddenham and back again to Bishopstone. Stopped and observed Travellers Site at Bishopstone and nothing to report on any of these places. Then went on to Terrick. My husband and I will be out walking most of tomorrow starting from Wendover and heading towards Ellesborough, Butlers Cross, Cadsden, Kimble areas.

2012-04-02 11:25 Timaxe

Max was last seen in Ford near Aylesbury. Our farm is in between Aylesbury and Princess Risborough/ Haddenham areas. There have been no sightings yet unfortunately - we are still out looking for him and hope he comes home soon.

2012-04-02 09:57 ClaireC

Hi NickyJ rather a large area isn't it to try to cover on foot without knowing exactly where Max went missing from! However will go out later on and have a look around.

2012-04-02 09:49 ClaireC

Hi Timaxe, if you don't get Max back by weekend there are a couple of shows coming up ie Point to Point at Kimble and Thame Country Show, what about postering there. It maybe that Doglost are putting on a stall to display posters of lost dogs in this area maybe as suggested by someone. You could email to ask about the possibility as a suggestion. I do sincerely hope that you do get your boy back before then as indeed all the other missing ones. Good Luck. I will be out and about this afternoon in the areas that I said below.

Hi Timaxe but whereabouts did your beautiful dog go missing from. I am out and about In the Butlers Cross, Cadsden and Gt Kimble area tomorrow.

2012-04-01 14:30 Timaxe

The Labrador that was found in ducklington is not Max. We will keep looking! Thanks Claire

2012-04-01 14:01 NickyJ

Claire, The HP17 area seems to cover roughly the Buckinghamshire areas of Stone, Haddenham, Butler's Cross, Bishopstone, Ford, Great Kimble and Hartwell.

Keep trying as its possibly a "holding" type kennels and may not be open as yet or even the dog warden who works "office" hours.

2012-04-01 10:04 ClaireC

As I live in HP22 area where did your dog go missing and whilst out looking for a few others in the near locality I can keep Max in mind.

2012-04-01 10:03 Timaxe
