Hi Clarkey, Thanks for the info we still wonder if and when? but always keep every thing crossed! Thanks to everyone for continued support, Bob and Rene xx

2017-03-04 18:30 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Coopers have replied really quickly (thank you) Not Misty thankfully.
The vets have told me that the found dog was deceased but was microchipped and they are in contact with her/his owners.

I will contact the vets to see if I can get any information. However, I know that they do scan dogs and I'm sure they would have contacted you if it was Misty as she is microchipped.

2017-03-04 00:57 Bob

Hi TK and all on Dog Lost I have only just noticed your post, I imagine that if that's where any dog was taken they would scan them? Will any news be posted on FB ? I'm not on there so if anything shown let me know. Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2017-03-03 18:50 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi Bob, sorry only just seen your message, It was apost on fb from a lady that had seen a loose dog off fairlight road. post said a brown collie type dog, I asked if it was a shelti, but she went on to say it was a big dog about the size of a GSD.

Have just seen this post on Icklesham fb page - have copied text
"A friend has advised that a small? brown dog has been knocked down (possibly deceased) on the main road to Icklesham in the vicinity of the Oak Pond kennels in the last hour. Apparently the dog has been taken to Cooper's vets. Sorry the information is sketchy "

Was posted a couple of hours ago, long shot I know, but you never know. x

Hi to everyone, and just to say if Marys comment is the case it would be nice to know that Misty was still ok and that we had some sort of news. Many thanks to all for the continued help,
Bob and Rene xx

2017-02-23 07:21 Mary

Could it be that the posters are being taken down by someone who found Misty and kept her?

Many Thanks for every ones support, Bob and Rene xx

2017-01-21 16:53 Bob

Hi to everyone,I have just replaced the posters that have lasted a long time this time but they both went the other day from the top of knights lane. Lets hope a new sign prompts some one maybe to notice and remember having seen Misty? Its been far too long!

Hi, again Thanks Ali, I am fairly sure that the animal was a fox! but unless some one else has looked or picked it up who follows Dog Lost and is checking it out??
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2016-09-20 09:25 Bob

Hi again everyone, I have just been up to where the place where the ( what I am sure was probably one of the family of fox cubs that we kept seeing earlier this year )
Cheers for all the help Bob and Rene xx

2016-09-20 09:23 ALI

Just seen post on Facebook.......will await update from Bob.......let me know if I can do anything later x

2016-09-20 08:17 Bob

Morning Lesley,SpringerMad, and everyone,I did see what I thought as I drove by was some ones poor cat? when I came back a bit later I was fairly sure it was a fox.I have to go up to Drop some one off to the bus in a while so i'll park the car and walk to where it is as its not a place to park or be on the road. I dont think its Misty, but I will check.A while back there was about three small fox cubs that I saw many times at the top of Butchers Lane all of a simalar colour all seemed to be vary dog like and short nosed ( but I expect that foxes like Shelties have shorter noses when pups!) I will put a post on later today/tonight as of corse these things always show up at the wrong time ( Renes Birthday Today ) so have a few things to do later.
Many Thanks to all, Bob and Rene xx
PS we seem to not have the followers posted at the moment?

2016-09-20 07:28 Lesley

Hi SpringerMad was about to post that as well. It's on the Guestling and Three Oaks page.
Here in Wales we think about Misty and keep in touch with this site and Bob and Rene for news xx

2016-09-20 06:44 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Sadly, I've just seen what looks like a lifeless dog at the side of the road, on Rye Road, not far from Buckswood. I hope the owner manages to find out so they aren't left hoping for the dog to return. It's larger than a fox and golden in colour.

Anybody lost a small long haired spaniel breed dog in Icklesham?
If so please get in touch
Tel: 07912894949

Bob this was on a facebook page. Obviously Misty is not a spaniel but may be worth calling the mobile to find out?

2015-12-24 15:13 Bob

Thanks for that TK, just was going to look to make sure as you do! Just need her show herself if she can? It would make Christmas much brighter! Just to here some thing no and again.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and New Year Bob and Rene xx

Yes Springermad It would be very nice to have her home or even a bit more news or better still, to be seen again!
Many Thanks to all Bob and Rene xx

Ah that is lovely to read. Well done Bob and Rene. Now it is your turn x

2015-12-01 07:07 Bob

Morning to every one,Thank all of you for your continued support.We are sorry to say that all has been far to quirt on the Misty front with no reported sightings since the two in Westfield Area in August.
We did have a chance to help some one else Yesterday, as we drove down towards Ore,we saw a small young Staffy running about in the road near two Ladies in two cars stopped one trying to grab hold of him with the traffic ( some of which did not seem to want to slow down ! ) we pulled up a bit back and jumped out just as one lady managed to grab him.next the Question who and where to take him? One lady had dogs in her car and the other we are sure had to be some where, so we picked up this friendly little pup and said we would take up to the row of houses where the lady said he had come from. We drove up the small road and parked up and thought we would try and knock and ask if any one had seen the dog about.As luck would have it as I walked up a door opened and a cat was let out as a Lady was about yo go out, I said sorry to trouble her but did she know if there was any one with a small Staffy, she replied that she had a large Staffy and thought for a min: and then said that she thought that there was a family along the top at the start of the the houses.I went back to Rene who had the small Staffy on the front floor of the car, picked him up and put him under my arm with fingers under collar walked towards the end house.As I got close I saw a guy running along the other side of the road with his hand up waving ( Looking worried !) I waited while he tried to get across the road and run up to meet me, with much relief he took the dog back and said they were in a panic as their back gate must have blown open in the wind and they had that'what any dog owner has if a dog gets loose! now all we need to do is see Misty! I did say to the lady that we owned the missing Misty Sheltie to which she said the one on all the posters! Which says that people still have Misty in mind.
Many Thanks to every one for the continued help Bob and Rene xx

2015-11-22 02:47 Bob

Come on Misty ! Its high time you give us another showing!
Lets hope we see you again soon! Thanks for all the help from everyone, All the best
Bob an Rene xx

2015-11-11 00:29 Bob

Hi to everyone, In answer to Suey30 Sadly not and as Misty seems to do, we have no show for quite a while, then a few sightings and then nothing! We just need the luck to have a sighting or so to get close if we hear of the sighting soon enough. Many thanks for all the help from all that follow and keep their eyes out for our Misty.
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

Good for you Bob!!

2015-10-29 18:47 Bob

Hi to every one, I noticed this morning on my way to work that some nice person ha s once again removed both of Misty's Posters at the top end of Knights Lane. I have replace both of them again tonight and as they have taken one tie from both posts ( to make it harder to put back up!) I have put half a dozen pins in both new posters.
Thanks for the continued support, Bob and Rene xx

2015-10-27 03:11 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

That was kind of the lady to contact you. It shows people are still aware of her being missing, and always good to rule other dogs out too. x

2015-10-26 14:01 Rene

Hi to all Mistys followers, we eventually found the picture of the dog found in Leyton Buzzard. Sadly it is not her, but is was a long shot, being so far away from home. Thank you to everyone that still thinks of her after all this time and like us have not given up searching. Bob and René xx

2015-10-25 20:08 Bob

Hi to all, Rene took a call from a lady who used to live at Cripps Corner saying that she had seen on Face Book there has been a very timid Sheltie found at Leyton Buzzard. It seems unlikely that Misty would be up there But! We are not on Face Book and would not know how to search! If any one has a chance to look it up we would be most thankful.
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx
PS my email = ducatiurbert@gmail.com

2015-10-21 21:49 Bob

Hi to every one I finally managed to replace the other missing poster in the top of Knights Lane on the way home at about 7.45 tonight. Just keep on thinking Misty might be around and might see her But alas not Yet!
Many Thanks To all Bob and Rene xx

2015-10-17 12:49 Bob

Just to say I have replaced one of the missing posters but only had one poster with me! will sort when I next go by in my car.
Thanks to all Bob and Rene xx

2015-10-15 01:12 Bob

Hi to All, I notice that the two Misty posters have been taken down Again! at the top of Knights lane. I will try and replace Tomorrow, Ah No today, just looked at the time.
Many Thanks To All Bob and Rene xx

2015-10-14 17:24 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I expect she will pop up again at some stage Bob. She likes to play these games!!

2015-10-14 07:03 Bob

Come on girl! give us another showing! We don't like these big gaps in the shows!
all is crossed Bob and Rene xx

2015-10-08 19:41 Esther

Still keeping everything crossed.

2015-10-07 06:58 Bob

Good Morning to every one,Sadly as normal after the lord Mayor Show! all goes quirt again, and not a word since the Stone style lane and the Moor Lane Sightings! We just hope to hear of another soon!
Many Thanks for all the continued support,

Happy Birthday Misty. You share the same birthday as my daughter who is 21 today. Misty it is really time you came home from your adventures!

2015-09-18 00:36 Bob

Good Morning to All,
Just to say Happy Birthday Misty ( 9 ) Today and Sadly Missing Three Years Tomorrow.
It would be nice to see you and have you back home.
Many Thanks to every for all the continued help Bob and Rene xx

2015-09-12 07:50 Bob

Good morning to everyone, Just to say that we have been away for just shy of two weeks for holiday on a boat with the remaining dogs. It is still nice to hear of fresh sightings which keeps us very hopeful of finding our little girl Misty.
She will be nine and have been wandering for three years on the 19th of this month and it would be just wonderful to have her back home.
Many thanks to everyone,Dog Lost and all their wonderful helpers, Bob and Rene xx

2015-08-26 11:44 DogLostZoe - Area Volunteer - East Sussex

I have been following Mistys story since she originally went missing. I can't believe that she is still giving everyone the runaround after all this time:-( It is great that she is still in the area, and there are sightings but so frustrating that she won't let herself be caught:-( Well done to you all who continue to search for her and follow up sightings - I do believe that your perserverance will pay off in the end. I'm sorry that I am just that little bit too far away to be any use. x

2015-08-26 09:06 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

yes finally haha!!

2015-08-25 22:11 ALI

Thanks for trying to find out more info Tk, the weather yesterday in the area was awful, lots of flooding and torrential rain so I'm sure it was difficult to get a clear look at the dog. It would appear the Westfield page is now open, so i'm in......are you springerMad!!

2015-08-25 21:56 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

The lady yesterday said the dog had long fur and was very wet and muddy, she said she thought it could be misty, not a small dog but not a tall dog? The lady today said she didnt really get a good look as it was raining hard, but just that the dog was very wet .. x

2015-08-25 21:53 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I have asked for any more info on fb page, from what I can gether someone said a person had stopped and had hold of the dog, but the road was flooded, it was raining hard and traffic was still going past, the comment yesterday said someone was trying to catch dog but it bolted... So I guess they may have had hold of it and then it ran off ..? x

2015-08-25 21:35 Clare

Wow, this baby has been missing such a long time :( I have a sheltie too, I pray she is reunited soon x x

2015-08-25 20:36 Lesley

Can someone Check the latest comment abour misty what's on in Westfield Facebook says someone had hold of the dog. Whether was Misty needs clarifying.

2015-08-25 19:32 ALI

Thanks for text yesterday, was in Westfield during the day but didn't see anything, sorry I wasnt able to get back there in the evening, all sound promising though. It's good the response to the sighting was quick, well done Tk and springerMad

2015-08-25 16:54 charlie and sooty

I think that this is enough of your adventures Misty, time to come home!!!! xx

2015-08-25 14:08 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Have added yesterdays sighting onto Whats on in Westfield fb page, and Guestling & Three Oaks fb page .. x

2015-08-25 01:33 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks TK!
I also had a message sent to me from the lady who saw her but had no internet today during the storms so I have only just seen it.
The message I got said "I saw a dog running loose on moor lane westfield and after posting on HDL someone posted the lost dog lost misty and after looking at pics I think it might have been her x"
Also seen the post on Hastings Dog Lovers page with the extra info.

So Bob it definitely sounds as if Misty is still in the Westfield area.
Many thanks for posting on HDL and going out so quickly to have a look Springermad and TK.
Good to hear most of the posters are still up but I think we will need to get posters put back up in Stonestile Lane please. My printer is not working at the moment so I can't help I'm afraid.

I'm bumping this page for the sighting. I have also added the information about the recent sightings so they appear on the poster.

"Brown collie type dog running loose down Moore Lane in Westfield"
Posted on local fb page earlier, the person said it was running away from Westfield in direction of 3 oaks, where the road floods in Moore Lane, someone tried to catch it, but it ran off ... this was 3.30 this afternoon.
Springermad went and had a drive up and down Moore Lane,
I went out this eve and had a walk around fields opp Stalkhurst Farm and had a drive around area..
I noticed the posters in Stonestyle Lane have been removed, there are still quite a few up down Moore Lane, 3 Oaks and Ivyhouse Lane areas..
If this was Misty it would fit in with the recent sighting of a Sheltie in Stonestyle Lane, and is possible she is making her way back up behind 8 pounder Lane, up towards Little Maxted Farm area again ... x

Yes that is if she keep going that way? but she likes to keep us guessing so maybe turned and went back when the coast is clear. We will just hope for another sighting soon.
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2015-08-17 22:30 ALI

If she turned right then that would mean she would be going towards Ripleys (rather than towards three oaks) where she has been seen before - is that correct?

2015-08-17 00:43 Bob

Evening All, Thanks for the update TK, as you can see I took it that she had gone to the left going away from Westfield! so that must be going towards Hole farm ( without looking it up on Google maps! ) I will have a look up and see what is in that direction, assuming she kept going that way?
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2015-08-16 16:52 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

The lady that sighted the Sheltie type dog in Stonstile Lane has confirmed on Westfield fb page, The dog was seen running along Stonetstile Lane away from Westfield and turned into the Wood on the Right, we believe near to Hides Farm .. x

2015-08-13 22:14 Bob

Evening all,Just to say I had a trip or two up Stonestile lane and had a look at the area where the sighting was.I have just had a look on google map to see where it backs on to. It is not far from the bottom of little Maxfield Farm where JB tracked from just under the railway at the bottom of the foot path.Thanks to Springermad for the list of Gulivers Travels ( Well Misty's Travels!! ) We just hope for another clue before too long.
Many Thanks to all for your help Bob and Rene xx

Hi everyone.
Thanks to Team Misty for going out an looking for her again. My apologies for not being able to join you as my car has been in for MOT and my son has just come home after being away in Africa for 4 weeks complete with all his dirty washing!
Misty was seen in Stonestile Lane nearly a week ago now and is not really 'playing by the book' as she was seen at about 10am so she's still around during daylight hours on occasions.
I'm thinking that we always seem to be one or two steps behind her so perhaps we could try to work out where she is likely to go to next. We know that the sighting is close to places she has been seen before but I don't know which direction she was going in when seen in the lane so I will ask the person who saw her as I, like TK, am on the 'What's on in Westfield' page now!!
As long as there are posters up in all the places Misty visits then we should get news of her when she is seen again.

Springermad: Any chance you could do one of those posts with all the places Misty has been seen in and when pretty please?? It would be really helpful!

Ellie: If Misty stayed in one place for any length of time we would set up a feeding station but unfortunately she always seems to move on very quickly after being seen.

I agree that it would be much easier to go out and check sightings more quickly if we were all told straight away about them.

Bob and Rene: Please would you let me know of any sightings or new information as soon as you hear anything please?
As I have everyone's telephone numbers I can then let them know as soon as I hear from you.

Thanks again to everyone who is still following and posting on Misty's page :)

2015-08-12 00:11 Bob

Thanks Ali and friends
Bob and Rene xx

2015-08-11 21:39 ALI

Just back from an evening in stonestile lane with two YES TWO area volunteers!! Drove up and down the lane to try and work out the exact way misty would have gone, the wood to the right is fenced off so we feel she probably went to the left hand side in which case she may be heading over the fields towards Bob and Rene's. Area is well postered and details have been left in post boxes where possible. Will await further instructions but perhaps a bbq would be helpful. Have not asked to join Westfield group so it has nothing to do with me being too rough......lol.....but I am a vicars daughter after all !! Good to catch up with springerMad and Tk (family friend), just a shame we have nothing more positive to feed back

2015-08-11 19:32 Bob

Hi to Every one just to say a big thank you for all the help. I have been up and down Stonestile lane a few times over the weekend and I will try to get a while just sitting there.
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2015-08-11 18:39 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

It didn't accept my request to join. Kept saying 'pending' now back to 'join'. Too rough I suppose. Like ALI x

2015-08-11 16:51 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Have just logged on and seen all the recent comments, Yes I agree if there is another sighting would be really good to alert all local helpers so that someone can get to area straight away, maybe if Bob can let one of us know if he gets a call and then that person can text Team Misty helpers...
Looking on map, it is very close to the back of Ripleys in Westfield Lane, where I think she has been sighted before, if she is doing a triangle from Guestling Thorn where she was spotted a while ago and Ivyhouse Lane where there was also a sighting just before if I remember right she could be heading back to either of these 2 sights..
I did put a comment on the Whats on Westfield fb page asking for people to keep a look out .... x

2015-08-11 15:52 ALI

Yes several lay-bys where you can pull in safely it's very rural and minimal lighting at night I should think. May see if I can pop along later

2015-08-11 14:29 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Been down to Stonestile Lane, Had a look at the woods, and noted a couple of small laybys in the are which could be places to watch from near Hide Farm.

2015-08-11 11:10 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, well done Ali. Is there somewhere to park up and watch in the car? Or do you have to walk along there.

Ellie, we have been fortunate enough to have the services of Jenny and Tiga from the start. She is away at the moment so we are hoping to get more sightings so she would be able to track with fresh scent.

I am passing through the area today so I will familiarise myself with where we are looking.

2015-08-11 09:30 ALI

Walked along stonestile lane this morning but no sign. It's a long road and not easy on foot as cars do seem to nip along there at speed. Walked to where the road became more wooded but difficult to pin point the exact place where she was seen, not certain I was in the right place. Plenty of posters - well done Tk. Perhaps part of the plan could be sending texts round to team misty when we have a sighting that way someone may be able to get to area quicker. I'd not logged on for a while so was not aware till later in the day there was a possible sighting. Just a thought. Misty is certainly resilient, can believe its been almost 3 years Bob

2015-08-11 07:30 Bob

Thanks to everyone for all the help that you give,
Bob and Rene xx

2015-08-10 22:57 ALI

Agree action plan would be good and perhaps we need to put this in place immediately we get a sighting. Happy to drive there Tuesday eve and sit quietly to see if there's any sign. May even get there tomorrow morning as well with frankie. Will update page with any information

2015-08-10 21:50 Ellie

I wish that I could help but i have been following Misty from afar (Oxfordshire).I know there is a lady who helps sometimes with a dog, and a lovely man that catches these dogs by setting up feeding points!Is there anyway that they could help being that Misty is quite close by?

2015-08-10 17:16 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Ellie, I agree we ought to do something while she is in the area, even to get a photo for confirmation. Jenny is away for couple of weeks so we cannot ask her. I have spoken to TK and we have said we would try to have early morning and evening watch to see if she is around, but if anyone who is able to help with this would be greatly appreciated. Even if it means sitting quietly in a car keeping an eye out. TK and I are both working nights at the moment so it is quite hard to be around much

2015-08-10 12:42 Bob

We think it would be nice to know if she could be checked for scent as this would show us whether it was her or not.That is if Misty's collar scent is still good enough to track with? We would like to think that it is Misty as it will be three years next month she has been missing.
Many Thanks to all for the help that every one gives, Bob and Rene xx

2015-08-10 09:26 Ellie

Is there something positive that can be done at thie stage? Something like setting up a feed station,or using a sniffer dog? It seems a shame to let this close encounter pass without some kind of action to catch her.

2015-08-10 08:38 Lesley

Drove up and down Stonestile Lane this morning delivering the papers. No sign of Misty,but plenty of litter lying around that might contain food for her. Is there a plan of action at all. Really hoping she is found from this sighting xx

2015-08-09 15:04 ALI

Went out last night so diverted to drive through Westfield, no sign I'm afraid but saw posters, will keep an eye out during the week at work

2015-08-08 11:45 Bob

Hi, When I spoke to Rosemary last night I asked if the dog was scruffy or not, she said it was too far to tell that but it run along fairly quickly.
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2015-08-08 11:16 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Did the lady who saw the Shelti say its coat looked long and mattered ..?

2015-08-08 07:19 Jot cotswolds

I helped get a dumped dog out of woods this time last year...Peter, who eventually got her...used the very early morning to go in and sit patiently with food nearby..that is when the dog is hungry and scouting for food. During the day they are just on "hide" and nosing around mode. 5-7am is the time. No shouting for the dog, just needs observation to see where it comes from...very smelly food laid out in same place for several days.

2015-08-07 23:01 Bob

Hi, to every one thanks for all the help, I have been back home for a while grabbed my dinner and just read through the comments on here.I called Rosemary before I went down to Westfield and she explained that she saw a sheltie at a distance pulled over and let a car by then went back and tried to coax her, but as usual she looked and went off into the wooded area.
That was late morning. When I left Westfield to take someone shopping we went via Stonestile Lane and kept our eyes peeled,but sadly no sighting of Misty.Thanks to TK for nipping out and postering and every body who always look out for her
and help.
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2015-08-07 20:02 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Drove up Stonestile Lane from The Ridge to Westfield...
put posters thro letter boxes of Hide Farm & Little Buckhurst Farm,
posters up opp end of Beaneys Lane, By Moor Farm, Opp Little Hides Farm Cottage, and another poster half way fown Stonestile Lane, and put one up at New Moorsite in Westfield ...
fingers crossed they may bring some news...
Location would def fit in with last few sightings if she gad wondered down thro fields x

2015-08-07 18:36 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Will have a drive out shortly and put up some posters, and give one to the farm ....
looking at my OS map no public footpaths by Hides farm but there are a couple of footpaths a bit further away ..

Thanks Lesley. I have just spoken to the lady who saw the Sheltie and she says it was near the woods by Hides Farm which is about half way down the lane from Westfield direction.
I have a feeling Misty has been seen here before and it's definitely within her circle/triangle of movement. Would also tie in with Bob's sighting of her and Lesley's possible sighting too.
We need to make sure that there are posters still up in this and the surrounding area as TK says some have been taken down. I think it would be best to have plain ones up as the coloured ones may be too much for some locals! ... just a suggestion Bob :)
If anyone could go to Hides Farm and give them a poster that would help.
Thanks.

I think he is going to do that, as well as calling Rosemary and maybe popping to see her, she lives on Geary Place but I don't know what number xx

2015-08-07 17:26 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Well done for spotting it Lesley. I've asked to join the page too which I have to admit I did not know existed! I have already msgd the lady who posted to see if we can find out some more info.
Thanks Lesley, please ask him to forward the number to me too.

2015-08-07 17:05 Lesley

I have text Bob with Rosemary's phone number xx

2015-08-07 16:59 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh wow......
I was only thinking a couple of days ago when I drove through Westfield Brede etc that most of the posters seem to have dissapeared, and whether Misty was still out there somewhere...
I wonder if one of us could message the person who sighted the dog to get a bit more info ...x

2015-08-07 16:17 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Well done for spotting the post, I am just trying to join the group to find out a few more details as it seems to be a very long road.

2015-08-07 16:15 Lesley

Thank you Springer mad.
You are right there can't be two shelties missing. I will keep my eyes peeled when I am next down that way xx

2015-08-07 16:11 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I have shared again on facebook.

2015-08-07 16:10 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Blimey!! Well there can't be 2 shelties loose in Westfield surely this has to be the elusive Misty.

2015-08-07 15:56 Lesley

Check out What's on in Westfield Facebook page this is the post from Rosie Bond about an hour ago.
driving down Stonestile Lane this morning, Westfield end, I saw a sheltie type dog running along the middle of the road. I stopped and tried to coax it but it just ran off into the wood. May help someone to know where to look.
I have rung Bob who is now aware of this possible new sighting.
Fingers crossed xx

Oh that is a shame Bob, but great to know that people are still looking out and trying to match Misty up with found dogs. Onwards and upwards we go.

2015-06-23 11:16 Bob

Just to say that I had a text from another keen Dog Lost watcher who had seen a dog similar ( well almost the same ) just lacked the Sheltie turned over ears and was a bit darker over the head and ears! We rang and spoke to the home but sadly its not Misty as her chip led to another owner and vets, as soon as I said we had from a puppy she said Its not your one as the history counts it out.They were very helpful and sorry they could not give us the right answer!
Many Thanks to every one Bob and Rene xx

2015-06-19 01:29 Bob

hi to TK and everyone, sadly not so far we just keep every thing crossed!

Any news or further sightings ? x

2015-06-15 19:02 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Yes Jan.petsearchuk, sadly Misty is still missing. Has been a long time, but we have had sightings of her during thus time, we believe she was spotted again on 10th June in Three Oaks, TN35 ...

2015-06-15 18:32 Pet SearchersJan.Petsearchuk

I have shared on facebook. I find it incredible that boarding kennels would exercise a dog where it is possible it could escape from even if it did slip it's collar.....I see this is a very old post, I wonder if she is still missing.

I continue to follow Misty's story with interest and sincerely hope that this new sighting by Bob leads to her being found safe and well. She certainly is resilient! A huge party for Misty beckons. Would a tracker dog be useful at this point? x

2015-06-13 01:16 Bob

Thanks to every one for all the interest and help

Had a stroll around the field on our side of Fourteen acre lane. No sign of Misty. I am concerned that there are 3 'lads' riding motorbikes in the field probably without permission and could scare Misty away. Will keep looking and spreading the word xx

2015-06-12 13:51 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Was told of sighting yesterday afternoon, sorry I have been so busy, have not been able to reply or help out..
If I can help in anyway, more than happy .... x

2015-06-12 11:20 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

You're welcome. Good to see you and Rene. From all that you told and showed us it certainly sounds like it was Misty. I am not surprised you were shocked when it happened and could not quite believe it!
It was also very useful to go into the fields behind your place (next to the one by the hedge she went through) to see where Misty used to be walked.
I have suggested that a crate or sturdy box is left near to the house but at the edge of the field so we can see if Misty is going back that far. The field that she went into when she was seen by Bob is leased by a chap who is not likely to let us put one in there unfortunately. However, the other field is owned by the same man and I have asked Bob and Rene to see if we can get permission to take a vehicle in there to do a 'night watching' session.

2015-06-12 08:25 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Lovely to see you last night. Finger crossed this sighting is followed by some more x

2015-06-11 21:52 Bob

Thanks to Springer Mad and Clarkey for coming over tonight and wandering to see where the dog was seen and looking around with our other dogs along the track from home and back. Many thanks to all Misty's followers who help us keep the interest in trying to find our little girl.

That sounds promising Lesley. Am going down to meet Bob and Rene this evening with Clarkey to discuss things.

2015-06-11 17:17 Lesley

When I was out in the field opposite the Doone on Sunday before the last Bank Holiday I saw a dog in the distance which definitely wasn't a fox. Derek has heard some barking recently as well but nothing regular. Looks like we might be doing some walking early evening around the fields and the wooded area behind. Good luck Bob and Rene. You know where we are if you need our help x

2015-06-11 17:06 wensmum

Heart in mouth - I so hope.............
You two, Bob and Rene, are an inspiration and source of courage to so many of us xx

2015-06-11 17:03 Shelagh

As she was so close to home. Could owner put some high value food out for her. Not sure of circumstances but could they sit close by and watch who takes food. She may still be in area.

2015-06-11 15:54 Chilebat

I am one of the many followers of Misty, really pleased to see she has been seen again and by her owner. I was thinking of her recently as on the 7 June We were in Milford on Sea parked by the seafront when a couple walked past followed by a sheltie who was off the lead and I thought of Misty as you don't see many around.

2015-06-11 15:36 Shelagh

That's wonderful news. Hope she returns there soon

2015-06-11 15:32 Esther

So wishing you success

2015-06-11 14:21 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Oh wow! That's brilliant news Bob. I'm bumping the page for your sighting. So glad it was you that saw her. I really don't not think there can be another Sheltie in the area like her.
I will contact the lady who lives there and ask if she would keep a good lookout for her again.
So annoying to hear those posters are not up any more .. it's quite possible that someone thinks it's unlikely Misty is around any more and that's why. So please make sure that you flood the area with new Doglost posters .. I am changing the heading to say 'Misty seen again' so that hopefully people will see about the new sighting and report back to your if they see her.
Strangely enough I was only thinking about her yesterday .. she is a resilient little girlie who is just doing her thing! Showing herself again when we least expect it, bless her.
I don't think you can expect Misty to just come strolling in to your house so please leave a box with some clothing of yours with a strong scent. Unwashed socks, tshirts anything sweaty (!) in a large box/crate outside in your garden or even on the grass opposite your house. This is really important as she will, I'm sure, remember your scent and then she will have something to settle down in and hopefully stay in the area. Then if and when she is staying there we can work out how to catch her.

2015-06-11 13:52 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh BOB that is so encouraging. Wonder if it worth you hanging around again at the same time for the next few evenings. I am happy to go and do a 'watch' if required. x

2015-06-10 21:12 Bob

Hi, to every one. Last night at about 9.30 ish I came back along Fourteen Acre Lane from the Three Oaks end towards Doleham, I came just past The Doone and as I came round the corner I saw a small Dog wander across from the left to the right of the lane and as it heard my car dived into the right hedge.I crept very slowly along looking were I saw it disappear but could not see him or her even looking over the hedge into the field with the clay pit to my left.Could it be Misty? it was the,or similar as the poster image at the top on this page. So if any one sees her or him please give me a shout. Lesley and Derek saw a dog crossing here a year or so ago and that showed as a positive sighting with JB and Tiga. This would be the first time that one of us has seen a possible sighting of what could be Misty, since we went on holiday about 33 months ago! we keep our fingers Crossed
Many Thanks for all the help, Bob and Rene xx

2015-05-08 21:17 Bob

Evening to every one, I just noticed that the posters had gone missing again at the top of Knights Lane where it meets Doleham Lane! So I have just replace both of them again! I am not sure if they blow away when it is windy or if some one does not like us putting them there? We will just hope our Misty Dog can read them and give us a showing?
Well we van only hope!
Many Thanks to all Bob and Rene xx

2015-05-04 18:32 Lesley

Went to Pett level today, lots of dogs but not Misty. We keep looking and listening but all quiet at the moment x

2015-05-03 07:16 Bob

Hi to everyone, Thanks Dawn for the viewing you have listed below its nice to see reports coming in.Could you tell us what sort of colour the coat was and if the coat was looking like it had been out in the wild? as this is one place where Misty visits regularly,but she normally will be interested until you move towards her and then move away a few yards ( or meters ) turn back and look at you and if you follow she will wander off. There is a younger male Sheltie that lives at the caravan site some of the time called Barney who is well groomed and brushed and quite a light sable and white? Once again thank you for letting us know and could you let us know if it fits in with Misty ( which would be wonderful ) or Barney the lighter coloured Sheltie Dog, Many Thanks to all for all the help lets hope it is Misty and have the sent checked!
Thanks to everyone Bob and Rene xx

We saw a dog very similar to Misty, she was walking along the sea wall by the lifeboat station at Pett Level going towards a group of mobile homes set back off the beach.
she was on her own, and very friendly, this was on Sunday 26th April at about 11.30 am. I hope you find her soon.

2015-04-29 00:12 Bob

Yes it would be nice Ali to have a showing or two to give everyone a boost!! many thanks to all for your continued help,
Bob and Rene xx

2015-04-28 18:54 ALI

still keep an eye out when i'm in the lanes round Westfield (posters still there).....will never give up looking for her. It's about time she revisited Pett for her summer hols (will give the team a chance to recommence operation 'bog watch') x

2015-04-23 20:13 Bob

Lets hope she reads your comment and shows herself?
Cheers Bob and Rene xx

2015-04-23 14:35 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Can't believe that we have not had a sighting recently. However, she may show herself at Pett now the weather is a bit better. Hoping for the best and we certainly won't be giving up on her.
Great to see that the posters are up. I have changed the heading so that they read still missing on the posters printed from the poster page.
Come on Misty .. please show yourself to us. We need to know where you are.

2015-04-23 07:43 Bob

Well we have not had any sightings of Misty, Just hope some one spots her if she shows herself at some time? I have replaced the odd poster as and when they have gone missing, and all kept crossed!!
Many thanks for all the help to all,
Bob and Rene xx

Would be nice! lets hope she shows herself??

Hi, to every one, I have replaced the posters which seemed to go missing at the top of Knighs lane yesterday to make sure that passers by do not think that we have forgotten about Misty! And that we are still waiting for any sightings of Misty! Many Thanks to all for your continued support.

Many Thanks to every one for all the continued help,Bob and Rene xx

That was very kind of him to call you Bob. It shows the posters are working. I was trying to walk at Pett yesterday lunch time but it was packed with cars so didn't stop, but will start walking there again during the week and keep eyes peeled, as you are right she does tend to go there when Barney is around. x

2015-03-01 19:52 Bob

Hi everyone, Just to say that I had a call this afternoon from a guy who left me a voice mail to say he had been walking his dog down at Pett Level and that he had seen a Sheltie running along the sea wall? I gave him a call back when I found the voice mail and asked the Question!! Was the dog a light brown and white and well groomed ? so yep it was Barney so I thanked him very much for calling. So! if Barney is about will Misty start to visit again? We can hope and keep things crossed?
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2015-02-28 01:19 Bob

Hi TK and everyone, Sadly its more of the same only now and again and we have not heard a thing other than a couple of foxes the night before last! We live in hope of a bark better still another sighting.
Many thanks to all Bob and Rene xx

2015-02-27 14:16 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Any more barking ..? x

2015-02-22 22:37 ALI

Barking sounds promising.......leaving food out sounds a good plan would encourage whatever it is to stay in the area

2015-02-22 20:19 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi, I'm not sure, dont think we have a number for the dog at caravan park ....
Barking sounds positive, maybe need to leave a bit of food near to where barking was heard..? and might be worth Bob doing another scent trail, either as before or by using hoover bag contents ..?
Fingers crossed x

2015-02-22 11:33 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Glad to hear about the barking Lesley, she could be in the area then. Hopefully a sighting will follow soon.
TK did we get a number for the sheltie owners at the caravan park in the end? Just wondering if they could confirm that they were there.

2015-02-22 11:20 Bob

Hi to everyone, Just to say we went along the lane with Lucy ( The dog that was in kennels with Misty ) to about the middle of the bungalows, then through the hedge down the fairly slippery bank into the field that runs back past Lesley and Derek's house and back up the track beside their house to the lane, and back home.We did not here any thing while we were down the field and I ran my large torch round but alas no eyes shone up in the beam! Lets hope that we have a sighting before too long!!
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2015-02-22 07:55 Lesley

Dog barking right outside our house yesterday evening about 9, we didn't see anything but seemed to be in the entrance to the field by our gate and went that way.Sent Bob a text who went to investigate but he didn't see or hear anything. Nothing heard for the rest of the night. Will keep listening and now it is lighter earlier and later we could just get a sighting. Lesley and Derek x

2015-02-21 20:54 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Sheltie spotted on beach at Pett Level this afternoon, described as clean looking and ran off towards Caravan Park, so sounds like it was prob the sheltie that stays at the caravan park .. comment posted on Hastings Dog Lovers fb page

2015-02-20 22:59 Bob

Hi to everyone, Yes Ellie that's a good point as Misty has moved around ever since she went missing, so you would only have sightings for a day or so until she showed up a bit further on! We Just hope to here of her.
Many thanks Bob and Rene xx

2015-02-20 10:31 Ellie

Hi
I have been following Misty's progress for some time hoping she will be found. I was just wondering what happened to the original dog that was barking during the night and early morning? Could it possibly have been Misty and whoever said they saw a sheltie was telling the truth ? Why did the dog suddenly stop barking? If it was a local dog then surely it would still be barking! Just a thought!

2015-02-19 19:36 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

There was a post on a local fb page yesterday eve, saying a lady spotted what she first thought was a fox, but when she got closer was a brown & black dog run across Hare Way off Little Ridge in St Leonards, said it just ran off and dissapeared...I know is out of area slightly, but you never know ...
Live very close by, so will keep eyes peeled x

2015-02-18 19:13 Bob

Hi to every one, ( Well it seems a bit like after the lord mayors show ! )we have not seen or heard of our little Misty! which seems to be the way it has been sadly.We keep every thing crossed and thank you all for the help that you give. Here is hoping that we see or here some thing soon!
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2015-02-09 20:55 ALI

Real shame if this was a hoax sighting and call.......very cruel and they obviously have no idea of all the hard work undertaken by Bob, Rene and team Misty......lets hope we get some positive news very soon

2015-02-09 00:55 Rene

Hi to all and Thanks TK for all the info and fingers crossed for the next barking session or better still a sighting!
Thanks again for all your help Bob and Rene xx

2015-02-08 14:20 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Parked at 3 Oaks village Hall this morning, & had a walk along the track just down slightly & opposite.. Walked right down to the end & put some fliers through letter boxes of the houses down there, carried on walking round & over railway bridge, still one poster on footpath leading over railway line, looked up into the fields behind Little Maxted farm & then turned round and followed the footpath back down through the fields back down onto the track & out to village hall again .. No sign of Misty, but hoping the fliers may alert people down there she is still missing ... x

2015-02-08 13:10 Bob

Hi TK, Ali, Springermad and everyone, It looks like there is nothing else coming as I have not had any more calls! So may be young kids just playing or perhaps they did see something ? Just have to wait and see if we here any more late night / early morning Barks from the mystery dog!
Many Thanks to every one Bob and Rene xx

2015-02-08 09:50 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

"Apparently there's an oast house in 18 pounderlane Westfield with 4 carved angels at the entrance?"
Copied this from a post from fb, Clarkey had asjed if anyone new of an Angel Farm ...
This would tie in roughly with the postcode given if you changed it to TN35, & there is a footpath that leads from there up fields & out through Little Maxted Farm ... x

2015-02-08 09:18 ALI

Hoping for definite news today......would be awful if this not a legitimate call Bob and Rene have been through enough x

2015-02-08 08:56 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

It was a young sounding girl who rang me then put me onto her ( I presumed) brother for details. The mobile number they left was incorrect so I did 1471 for the number. They did not sound as though they were making a hoax call. Though full postcode they gave me seems to be incorrect.

2015-02-08 08:35 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Been on tenterhooks all night at work after receiving messages about misty. Just logged on to read the latest. I do hope this is not some sort of silly prank after someone saw a poster. That would be beyond cruel. I hope we get an update from them today. x

2015-02-08 01:02 Rene

All we can do is keep it all crossed!! as you say
Bob and Rene xx

2015-02-07 23:28 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh how frustrating, wonder whether she was seen or not ... keeping fingers crossed x

2015-02-07 23:19 Rene

Hi,we have just had a call from the mobile phone number that rung D/Lost. It was from a lad who seemed to think it was a friend of his on his phone! I asked him if he knew where about's Misty was seen, but he did not seem to know! did not get much further and then he said good night! A short while later the phone rung again and it was the guys father who said he had seen the posters but had not seen the dog but would ask his daughters in the morning in case it was one of them and that he was sorry and would question and if they had seen something will call back! So after all that it does not look too good. Thanks to every one for there support
Bob and Rene xx

2015-02-07 23:12 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Wondering if it is a farm off Rock Lane somewhere as the full postcode, if you make it TN35 ... it comes uo Rock Lane area, There is a farm Track leads off just opposite Three Oaks Village Hall there is a barn conversion at the bottom of the track... If you take the footpath to the Right at the bottom of the track, it brings you up through Little Maxted Farm... would tie in with all the recent barking ..? Just a thought .. x

2015-02-07 22:24 Aussie

I have heard barking further up Fourteen Acre Lane, sounds like it's in the field next to the house. I haven't heard it for the past few days however. Not sure if it's worth doing but there is a walk that goes from Three Oaks (near the manor) to Westfield and it goes through acres of woodland and farmland, takes around three or four hours to go there and back. I have done it a couple of times in the past, probably won't see anything but might be worth a look.

2015-02-07 22:09 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks sheltielover. Think most of us have been searching too! I have come up with Lower Barn Farm which is near there and Lower Jacobs Farm in Sedlescombe but nothing else. If the person who reported this sighting is reading this .. please would you ring Bob and let him know where your farm is??? Thanks.

2015-02-07 21:54 sheltielover

Hi - I have followed Misty from the beginning - I have spent all evening searching - I have just come up with this - I do not know your area - as I live in Hampshire --- Angel Cottages, St Mary's Terrace, Hastings ,- Down Oak Farm - on Main Road Westfield.

2015-02-07 21:44 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks for trying Red Alert. I know most farms in this area but not one of this name .. onlu know of a Lower Barn Farm and that's nearer to Hastings. Still racking my brains but have asked on Fbk and others trying to find it too. Hope Bob can get an answer from the person who reported it soon!

2015-02-07 21:15 Red Alert

Had quick drive around this morning, have put leaflets through doors ..
Houses up Doleham Hill
Along Fourteen Acre Lane including Little Maxted Farm
Top end of North Lane & the couple of houses on main rd between Butchers Lane & North Lane
Oast house at top of Butchers Lane
3 houses down Maxted Lane

Was going to do down 18 pounder way, but said private rd & wasn't sure if I could get to the couple of houses down there... There is a poster at the entrance to 18 pounder so should be seen by people as they drive down..

Loads of posters up all around 3 Oaks & in good condition, which is good .. posters still up opp Coghurst Caravan Park, Chowns Hill & one outside Bluebell Ridge cat place all still there ..

Fingers crossed someone may ring with some info ... x

Hi,Did the owner of Birkett Lodge think it was down towards the Railway below Little Maxted Farm? Sadly we have not heard any barking! I must stop walking along the lane! I dont think we have heard since?
Thanks for all the help Bob and Rene xx

Sad to say all has been quiet for the last few nights. I spoke with the owner of Birkett Lodge and she also heard barking when the rest of us did xx

I have printed off some flyers, will try and pop them through houses that Clarkey has suggested tomorrow or Friday. I will try and ask at the farm also if it could be one of their dogs at all..
Just a thought but would it be about now that Misty would be due another Season, just wondering if it is her she may be trying to attract attenton of a local boy dog in one of the houses near to the field ?

2015-01-28 21:11 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks for all the comments on here.
I think this is definitely something we need to keep an open mind about, but having said that it's quite possible it's Misty especially if Bob and Rene thinks it sounds like her.
Just to add to info re dogs in the lane, owner of the Doone told me that she has heard a dog at night too. There are apparently new people in a house near to her that have small dogs, but she also said that the dog she heard barking seemed to move off away from that house.
What we could do with is someone with those binoculars with night sights on them! Maybe worth asking around, but I do not know anyone with them I'm afraid.

Also may be worth putting posters through the doors of houses and the farms along North Lane & Doleham Lane .. that would be near where Misty was last seen at Guestling. Also to houses, stables (18 pounder) along lane from junction of Rock Lane & Ivyhouse Lane towards A28 Westfield as that backs on to the fields where the dog has been heard. Of course team Misty may have done this already!

Come on Misty .. just give us a little peek of where you are please!

2015-01-28 18:41 Bob

Evening All, Just come home from work and had a quick read through,Ref: Lesley's call I did walk along past your house and beyond a fair bit! and stopped a few times to listen but the law of sod applied and did not hear a thing!! wandered back and stood out front for a while then went in.Went to bed at about 1.20am ish woke up about 1.50 heard a barking over the fields towards the railway, Rene got up as well both listened but that was a fox type bark and not the one we heard the other night sadly! We will keep listening and hope to hear again soon,
All the best to every one and thanks for the continued help Bob and Rene xx

2015-01-28 14:14 Lesley

Good idea. I know that at Birkett lodge opposite Bob to the right is a large dog, next to that a saluki x lurcher. On our side 2 dalmations the other side of Bob,and Bob neighbour has dogs then us with 3 and it's definitely not them barking. The bungalows as far as I know there is just a GSD at the red house. As for dogs at Little Maxfield farm I don't know, so would need a visit. Further down towards to Butchers Lane Australian shepherds at the Doone and I think border terriers at Willowstream oh a retriever in Willowstream close. The barking has been quite close to us in that big field so unlikely to be sound travelling from the end of the lane. Hope this helps everyone. Will listen out later and have a look out at dusk xx

2015-01-28 13:28 ALI

This sounds really positive and am waiting for Bobs thoughts to recent events and Tk's (aka family friend) suggestions.....so want this to be the elusive Misty x

2015-01-28 13:03 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I wonder whether we should check with the houses nearby just to rule out it is not any of their dogs doing the barking, looking on google map there is a house opposite and thrn the row of houses as you head down towards 3 Oaks and of course the Farm (little maxted), If we can rule out it is not any if their dogs then may be the next step would be to set up a feeding station in the field ..? I Guess we would have to get permission from land owner.
If it is Misty we just need her to stay in the area, and not to move off ...
What does everyone think about asking the neighbours.? I can have a walk along tomorrow and knock on the few doors if you think a good idea ..? x

2015-01-28 08:02 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Well done Lesley, it is great that Bob and Rene have a neighbour like you on the case. As you say if only someone could spot that it is deffo Misty and I don't know how we will establish that. Will await Bob's update as he will know a sheltie bark and maybe even recognise if it is her bark.

2015-01-28 07:26 Lesley

Came home just before 10pm definite small dog barking across the field, listened for a few minutes, rang Bob he said he would go out and listen. several times in the night we heard the same barking sometimes very close to us then slightly further away. If only we could see in the dark. Will still keep looking and listening. Please let it be Misty xx

2015-01-27 00:36 Rene

Evening all, O I see its morning again !
I Have just returned from the sent run,From home up the lane past Lesley's up and into the farm lane/foot path ( Little Maxfield farm ) and back to home leaving a trail on both sides of the lane and back into our garden! So all and sundry crossed now and its up to you Misty to give us a show !!! ( Please )
Many Thanks to everyone, Bob and Rene xx

2015-01-26 20:49 ALI

just bringing myself up to date with posts below.....it would be amazing if this was Misty....waiting patiently for positive sightings/news very soon

2015-01-26 10:29 Bob

Hi to every one,I have just caught up on the notes below, Sorry I forgot to ask Rene when she came home yesterday about the time she let our dogs out yesterday morning. That was about 6am and as to sent I should have enough to do a run tonight! I will then put some bedding out for Misty to visit ( all things crossed !!! )
Many Thanks to everyone and will post when more news, Bob and Rene xx

2015-01-26 08:37 Lesley

Sadly I haven't seen Misty I will shout loud when I do. We didn't hear anything last night. Derek though he heard a bark about 5.30 yesterday evening that was away towards the railway. We will keep listening and looking out. Come on Misty if it is you out there you are so close xx

2015-01-26 07:51 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Anything from in the night?

2015-01-25 22:28 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I think if anyone gets a glimpse and it is misty, then we need to have a good plan of action on how we deal with it from there.

2015-01-25 22:14 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Ooh exciting .. good luck with the scenting Bob, and if you can maybe leave some bedding out like Clarkey suggested....
Did you see the dog this time Lesley or just hear the barking..?
Wouldn't it be amazing if it was her x

2015-01-25 14:24 Bob

Hi to all, Well I thought I heard a dog barking, I think it was about 1.30am ish ? As I was still up and about, I went out the front and thought the barking was to my left past Lesley's house and towards Little Maxfield/or down towards the railway But only once while I stood out front! As to this morning I know Rene let the dogs out but I dont know how early? And as to sent trailing I have been collecting Sent !! so that Its a worth wile Jobby!! May be all good later Ron tonight! will have to knock up a fair sized dispenser !!
Once again Many Thanks To All for their help, Bob and Rene. xx
PS If Rene did let dopgs out when Lesley said I will put on later.

2015-01-25 08:42 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

That is very interesting. Wonder if Bob and Rene heard anything.

2015-01-25 08:33 Lesley

Good morning.
Dog barking straight outside house bout 2.30 this morning, then went towards Doleham couple of woofs. Bob did you let your dogs out about 5.30 as I heard the same barking as I didlast Sunday evening xx

2015-01-22 07:18 Lesley

We didn't hear anything last night but when I am home I take every opportunity to check the field with my binoculars but sadly nothing to report, when there is I will shout. Come on Misty let us know you're out there xx

2015-01-22 06:56 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Any news? How are you getting along with scenting Bob. If it is Misty we don't want her to move off again. Even just to get a sighting would be brilliant x

2015-01-20 10:15 Lesley

We didn't hear anything last night. Binoculars always at hand to scan the field opposite. Will keep listening and looking x

2015-01-20 09:29 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Do you think a bbq in the eve would be a good idea ...?

2015-01-19 22:29 Bob

Hi to all, Thanks for the comments, I will get on to the sent trail again and see what happens! It would be so nice to hear or see Misty again. Many thanks to all Misty's helpers.
Bob and Rene xx

2015-01-19 21:09 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Ooo Lesley that sounds interesting! Bob: does the dog you have heard sound like Misty do you think? Wish it was light in the evenings so you or Lesley could get a glimpse of the dog.
It would not surprise me if it was Misty as the last place she was seen was at junction of North Lane and A259. J has been away and is up to her eyes with requests to track dogs that have been seen and unfortunately as not an actual sighting I do not think we should ask her to come at the mo.
However, if someone actually sees her .. that would be different!

Bob .. maybe you could leave a scent trail from the field mentioned to your garden? You would need to make sure that there is a crate/box in your garden so that if she came close she could go to it. I do not think she would come straight back into your house if she came back as she would be too feral now. You would need to set up a feeding station in your garden or on the grass opposite your house first. If she came there then we could get the trap.

Lesley: If you are an early riser and you have some binoculars perhaps you would have a look out at first light. Often lost dogs will be around at that time as well as last light.

COME ON MISTY! If it's you please come closer!

2015-01-19 19:50 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh how interesting, only just seen message, but would seem possible if Misty has hung around the area since the last sighting in Guestling Thorn / field where pond is behind Oast House ... Maybe she has found her bearings snd trying to attract attention knowing she is near to home, would it be worth Jenny & Tiga helping out again to confirm ..
Maybe try the bbq outside again Bob ..? x

2015-01-18 22:30 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

It certainly sounds promising as we don't know of any other small dogs on the loose in your area, and the fact it was a dog bark and you say was deffo not a fox.

2015-01-18 20:53 Bob

Hi to everyone, We have just come home, five mins: ago and found the text on my mobile as once in about thousand times I forgot to take my phone with me!!
I fired up the old computer and looked up the found Sheltie but alas that's not Misty ( Many Thanks to Happiness Yorkie Lover xxx ) for finding and sending to my phone. On the next bit ( Lesley and Derek ) We both thought we heard a small dog Barking on the odd night or two? We would just love it to be Misty after all this time! Feel free to text or ring me if you think its a possibility of it being a Sheltie or Misty Bark, give a shout.
Many Thanks to all Bob and Rene xx

2015-01-18 19:26 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Ooh Lesley that does sound interesting, particularly as the last sightings were in your area I believe.

2015-01-18 19:18 Lesley

Hello team Misty. Still not giving up hope. Bob as you are next door have you heard the dog barking in the middle of the night, been happening for a few nights now, not every night over the last 7 days or so. I opened the window upstairs not 10 minutes ago, about 7pm and a dog, small, maybe Misty was barking in the field opposite us moving away to the Butchers lane end and away towards the railway. This may need further investigation. We are both certain it isn't a fox.The barking has been random times in the night, this has been the earliest but we may all have to sit out in our thermals and wrap up in duvets to listen. Best wishes Lesley and Derek x

2015-01-18 17:50 ClaireC

Long way from where Misty was originally lost from to where the found one is. However, she may have been picked up and then dumped as always the possibility. Thank you for thinking of her though xx

Hi. Hopefully the adverts have disappeared now .. think it may have been a problem with the website as a lot of us had the same problem.
I have just shared Misty's page to Broad Oak & Brede Village Notice Board Fbk page so maybe someone will see her there as we know she has been in that area this time of year.
Thanks TK and everyone else too for all your postering and help.
COME ON Misty .. SHOW yourself PLEASE!!

2015-01-12 23:43 AlisonH

Try clearing out your history, it worked for me. We are trying to resolve the problem Please bear with us.

Pop up blocker on and all security systems up to date. This appears to be something that is happening to loads of people on doglost. I literally cannot see the dog page for more than ten seconds and then i cannot get rid of the ad. I will prob have to bow out until it is fixed. Otherwise I shall be lobbing my computer out of the window in frustration!

2015-01-12 22:02 DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent

No. Do you have your pop up blocker on? Sometimes you can get this on any website where malware has been sneaked into your system. Go to the Malwarebytes anti malware website where there is a free download to wipe such problems out. I ended up paying to have the whole programme downloaded and have had no subsequent problems. Was recommneded by an independent IT expert.

well done TK sounds like you've been very busy......and yes Clarkey I agree - am not going to give up on Misty until she's home where she belongs

2014-12-09 21:28 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi Clarkey .... I have postered all over the place recently.... I have put posters up Brede / Broad Oak area .. x

2014-12-08 20:02 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Well done everyone .. that's fantastic with the postering.
traceylioness .. Misty has been seen previously in the Brede/Broad Oak area (I think around Christmas time) so if you are able to put any posters up around there that would be great. Bob works in that area so I'm sure you would be able to get some from him. Thanks.

It's so disappointing for us all not to have had a recent sighting, but at least we had a reliable sighting from someone who knew Misty the last time she was spotted. We just have to keep our hopes up .. we know how elusive she is but she is also one very resilient little girl who nearly always pops up just when we least expect it.
Keep it up Team Mistyl you are all doing a fantastic job and I'm sure it helps Rene and Bob to know that no-one is going to give up with the search for Misty.
COME ON MISTY! It really is time that you let someone see you again!

been at work the last few days and went back to the office in Westfield.....lots of posters seen so well done.....Westfield lights go on soon so the area should be busy with people so that should help raise awareness that she's still out there. Would have loved to join you in Pett but was at work today.....I expect SpringerMad forgot her purse again.....did you have to pay for coffee and kit kats TK !!!! lol

2014-12-04 08:24 Bob

Morning All, Just to update Springermad, I have only done one or two around Doleham lane area! My time just seemed to run out! seems to be that way these days. I have left a good amount of posters at work which are quite bright and have a white section with a Misty Picture and a caption of Sightings Needed above,hope that will get them noticed as they take quite a while to cut the picture bit and the main background to size then just stick the picture in place before the laminating.
Many Thanks to every one, Bob and Rene xx

2014-12-02 10:33 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, Bob did you manage to get any posters up yesterday? Just checking that we go to different areas than you. Cheers. If TK has 50 we can start with those and i'm thinkng of pett level along to winchelsea, hastings country park etc. So that we can walk the dogs at the same time.

2014-12-02 08:17 Bob

2014-12-01 13:36 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Have also prnted off about 50 posters ... So between us we will be able to replace all the old posters & add to any area that we think will help .... Hopefully all the new posters will prompt people to look out for Misty & make people aware that she is still missing ..... Will also share on various local lost/found fb pages, & Hastings dog lovers fb page, hopefully then there will be lots of eyes peeled for her ... x

2014-12-01 11:03 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi all, Bob we will also have a re-postering session. I have discussed this with TK and we shall come by this week and pick up any spares you have and get them out. x

2014-12-01 10:16 Bob

Good Morning to every one, Just to say I have struggled to find a reasonable photo to print up as my old computer died a while ago and have found one that copy's ok so I have some posters done now, which are in the bright lime green background with a white section with the Misty Picture and Sightings Needed above the picture and the Dog Lost Logo on either side. We shall have a bit of a replacement poster jobby today but I am sure I will have a few spare as I have done 80+ so if any one wants some please shout. We have had no internet over the weekend but came back at 7-30 this morning. We thank every one for their continued help through this long spell of non sightings!
Many Thanks Again Bob and Rene xx

2014-11-25 10:32 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Thanks for changng the heading Clarkey....
Have got some laminator pouches, will print off some posters at work this eve & hopefully get them put up over next few days,
Need to get the word spread that Misty is still missing, and hopeefully get another sighting before the weather starts getting colder ... x

2014-11-21 20:38 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi. I have changed the heading to still missing. Sorry I didn't see it before .. you can always text me if you want anything like that changed.
Thanks to everyone commenting on here and sorry I have not posted recently.
I know it's a long time since there has been a sighting of Misty, but we must not be too discouraged. Misty was seen twice in March, the early one was in Pett which is an area we know she visits and the last sighting was a very positive one as it was by someone who knew Misty and was from a very reliable person. There's no doubt in my mind that it was her as I have spoken to the lady who reported the sighting quite recently and she was positive it was her. She did say that her coat was darker than she would have expected but that was not surprising as she would be dirty now. Also it was only up the road from Bob and Rene's so that was encouraging too.

I have shared Misty's page to my Clarkey page so if everyone can share it and ask their friends in the area to do so it wold be a big help to let people know that she really is still out there. Thank you.

I drove along Rock Lane today and noticed that the laminated posters there are all very faded so time to renew them I think. Maybe that's why some of the others in Brede/Westfield have gone. Great idea to reposter as suggested .. we have a great team in this area and Misty is always foremost in our minds. We would all love to have a new sighting to keep us going!

Hi TK, I thought that the poster was done with admin? I was not aware that we could alter the poster? If they are happy to do that its is fine with us, anything to see if Misty is still wandering about the area. We just hope as the winter weather sets in that she may have to move out to find her food? It seems to be a lot of the long term missing have had a good few months with no sightings! Very Sad But we keep all and sundry well and truly Crossed!
Many Thanks to Everyone, Bob and Rene xx

2014-11-16 22:55 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi Bob & Rene, Would you be able to change the heading to maybe Still Missing...
I am happy to print off some posters & have a drive around & replace some, if you can change the heading, it will hopefully alert people that Misty is still missing & prompt them to keep an eye out for her again hopefully .. x

2014-11-16 22:45 ALI

Drove out to Beckley yesterday twice, noticed that most of the posters around Brede, Westfield area have now gone, Maybe we could alter the poster heading slightly saying that she is still missing & I will drive round early next week and reposter .. be so nice to have a sighting x

2014-10-28 08:10 Lesley

I am always on the lookout for Misty whether driving or walking the dogs, just like all Misty's followers. It would be so lovely to have a sighting and of course a happy ending xx

2014-10-24 08:02 Bob

Bob and Rene xx

2014-10-13 21:45 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Fingers crossed there will be another sightng soon, Maybe some fresh updated posters may be a good idea, just to show she is still missing, maybe with a different heading .? I'm happy to replace some ... x

Many thanks to all
Bob and Rene xx

2014-08-31 11:31 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

or just a meet up down there and hand out more flyers, but on a good sunny day with lots of visitors in the area, so weekends are prob best for that. I would only be able to do a sunday though because of work

2014-08-31 11:29 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

morning all, hope everyone is well. I have been walking on winchelse and pett level a lot over the last few weeks, and also had a good drive round at dusk last wed evening in the hope of seeing something. Sadly nothng to report, but that is not so unusual for misty as we all know!! There are still some posters up and around n good condition.

TK, I am wondering that tool. I know the bbq on the beach was very productive last year as we caught all the locals and holiday folk. Not sure whether something along those lines would help x

2014-08-31 10:13 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Has anyone any suggestions how we can highlight Misty is still missing ... ?

2014-08-30 20:06 Bob

Hi to every one, just to say all has been quirt on the sighting front again.A couple of weeks ago we found two undeveloped 35m films which we sent off and had deloped which came back today we found some more photos of Misty so I will try to upload and forward on to Dog Lost.It brings it home a bit when you see the fresh photos! But we will keep all crossed and hope for a return on the 18/09/14 which is the two years on the run, All the best and thanks for all your help.
Bob and Rene xx

2014-08-27 01:17 Bob

Evening to everyone, Thanks TK for the Thought it needs something as when I came home tonight up Knights Lane (up the top where it joins Doleham Lane ) I Noticed that both of the posters had been taken out! One from the sign post and one from the Phone pole on the other side of the Lane so I put two more bright ones up! We wait for any comments to Your Suggestion TK.
Many Thanks to everyone, we just keep fingers etc: all Crossed! Bob and Rene xx

2014-08-26 17:53 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Maybe we can use the 18th Sept as an opportunity to highlight Misty again as it will be 2 years since she went missing....If anyone has any ideas as to how we can raise awareness of Misty & alert people that she us still missing, please post suggestions, I am willing to organise ... Any ideas ? :)

2014-08-02 22:15 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Was just wondering when Icklesham summer fete was, as I know they have one each year.. just googled it & it was today ...doh !!
Am hoping that all the posters which I put up all around the Recreation ground are still there & therefor hopefully lots of people would of seen them today ... so hoping for another sighting very soon ~ please Misty x

2014-08-02 21:14 ALI

Bob and Rene....what a roller-coaster of emotions for you both....its about time we had another sighting of your amazing girl.....hows your other dog - any further strange behaviour??

2014-08-02 13:40 Bob

Thanks for the comment Blackbeard2 we both feel its all the helpers that keep things going for us as of late we have more than enough things in our lives to deal with, and we hope that we are getting through most of it now and keep looking for any more sightings,
Many thanks to every one Bob and Rene xx

2014-08-02 13:02 blackbeard2

What a shame for you both. Your dedication to looking for Misty has been inspirational (along with your team of helpers) wishing you success for your continued search x

2014-08-02 12:00 Bob

Hi to every one, Thanks to all for the help etc: I had just got the email and photos ready to forward to the kennels that are holding the sheltie at Birmingham, I asked Rene to call them to say email on its way and they told Rene Sorry but they have just discovered that Misty has had a sex change or its not her? They have just managed to get close enogh to find its a BOY so alas it is not misty! So the search goes on!
Many thanks to all Bob and Rene xx

2014-08-02 09:22 Rene

Goodmorning to all Mistys followers, I have just rung the kennels where the found sheltie is being looked after and as yet they have not been able to check whether she is chipped or not as she is too frightened of anybody getting close to her. We have been asked to send some photos of Misty and any other relevant information to them so that they can compare them with the found sheltie. Bob is out at the moment but we will e mailing photos etc when he gets back as Im not able to download the photos. We will keep you updated with any new developments as soon as we hear anything. Thanks again for all your support Bob and Rene xx

2014-08-01 22:09 Bob

Hi to every one, we have been trying to contact the kennels but they are no available until the morning. We are not sure but the picture of the other dog has markings close to Mistys ! and when you look at her two photos on this page the top one winter and the bottom spring/summer there coat looks so different. We just hope they can read the micro chip? Thanks for all the help from everyone Bob and Rene xx

2014-08-01 19:39 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

I hv sent a message asking Bob and Rene to check the 'found' sheltie .. although I don't belive Misty has any white on her face like that one. Best for Misty's owners to confirm that though.

2014-08-01 10:03 blackbeard2

Highly unlikely I know; as this found sheltie is West Midlands and I know you have had local sightings of Misty, but please check found ID 72778
always following your Misty's story x

Hi to every one, Yes to Lesley I can do some Flyers, what size ? A5 A4 Or a mix Ring me if you like I am about today ( Still rebuilding Shed and all sorts after the Tree that fell a few months ago! )
And No ( Springer Mad ) only once more about a week ago but I don't think it was as Frantic? We keep our fingers crossed for some news. Many thanks to every one for the continued help.

It's Pett flower show and dog show on Saturday 26th, any chance of some flyers to give out as we did last year, could put them in the prize bags as well. Lesley x

2014-07-17 02:23 Bob

Hi every one, Yes it may be as that kind of backs up if or not she has been about? It depends how busy Jenny and Tiga are? Thanks for the comment TK Bob and Rene xx

2014-07-16 09:07 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh lets hope that Lucy is trying to tell you that Misty is nearby ... maybe worth doing the bbq thing? and leaving a familiar blanket or something by your garage, maybe a bit of food ..? Do you think it would be worth Jenny & Tiga coming down to see if they can confirm if her scent is there . x

2014-07-16 08:17 Bob

Just to up date, After last nights comment added at about 2am this morning Lucy was in one of her hyper moods ! So I took her out the front and let her sniff and sent near the ponds out the front of our house plus let her take me out in the lane to the right where she had a good pull into the hedge and left a few marks? We will put any further info if and when!
Many thanks for all your help Bob and Rene xx

2014-07-15 20:24 Bob

Hi to all, I don't think Lucy would act the same with people as she always Barks! and She did this a week or so ago ( just kept shaking with excitement and no barking ) before but at that time we thought she was having a funny five mins: All we can do is hope that Misty is still OK.
Many Thanks for all the help from everyone, Bob and Rene xx

Was just reading about the 3 missing siblings (now found) who went missing from guestling last Thursday. It seems that they were around your area between north lane and butchers lane overnight thurs. This was when you had to get up with Lucy because she behaving oddly. I wonder if there was a connection? But, saying that you thought she had been behaving oddly during the previous days, so who knows!

2014-07-14 06:50 ALI

Needed to escape the football last night so took a drive out to Iklesham with Jeni - we stopped off at Fourteen Acre lane on the way - drove down there twice in view of Bobs reports re his other dog Lucy....then went onto the village - play area, kennels and lay-by etc...no sign of Misty but area remains well postered

2014-07-12 08:12 Bob

Morning to all,We have been thinking about the way that our Lucy behaved Yesterday morning,in that She was just mega excited shaking and an odd squeak! Where as if it was a cat or fox she would have barked her head off. Lets hope for a good outcome ?
All the best to all, Bob and Rene xx
PS Lucy has been quirt and sleepy this morning As Us!! We will post if she does it again.

2014-07-11 11:07 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Yes..... maybe Misty is staying around the area & Lucy can sense her ....
My gut feeling is that she is still in the area after the sighting the other Sunday.
Might be worth leaving some items with your/lucys scent on under cover by your garage or somewhere like you were doing before, maybe a bit of food...?

2014-07-11 08:25 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Ooh that sounds interesting! Yes, keep us informed! x

2014-07-11 07:02 Bob

Morning To all, I not sure if we should read anything into something that has been going on with Lucy our Shihtzu a couple of times in the last week? She gets Hyper and tries to get out! climbs up and gets over gates etc: This morning at about four thirty started jumping up in the window and shakes like a leaf? I got up and took her out on a lead and walked with her around the pond out front, down the field and back.Then went out into the lane ( Fourteen Acre ) along the lane on the right hand side into Butchers Lane across the road turning left along to the grain store back across and back home on the other side. Lucy doing the usual odd making here and there.Could it be that Misty is wandering? I don't know but we can hope, as they were play mates back when we gave Lucy a home. I / we will up date if she does it again!
Many Thanks To all Misty's Helpers Bob and Rene xx

2014-07-10 21:09 ALI

springerMad if you win the lottery you could treat team misty to a house each.....glad posters are still in place - not surprised the ones by the cliff have mysteriously disappeared. If anyone feels like a misty walk next week am around Tuesday or Thursday.....still have some posters so happy to spend a morning putting some up

2014-07-10 01:11 Bob

Thanks for the help Springer Mad and TK It would be very nice and also helpful just to have a few more sighting ! we just keep every thing crossed ! and hope for those sightings, Many Thanks To all,
Bob and Rene xx

2014-07-09 19:24 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Good news that most of the posters have stayed in place, So need another sighting, to determine which direction she is travelling, or if she is staying around the Icklesham area...
Can't help but think if she backtracked from where she was seen recently, she may still be around the Guestling Thorn area ..?
I did email Andy at the Observer last week, to ask if Misty's story could go into the Hastings edition, as they said it would go in both, but only ended up going into the Rye one.... He hasn't answered my last few emails, not sure why ... :(
Hoping there will be another sighting soon x

2014-07-09 18:32 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Evening all. Just returned from a lovely walk along Pett Level. Majority of our posters remain intact and in good condition. Only ones that have been removed are the ones right at the end by the cliff and a couple on the beach entrances (by the steps) No sign of Misty. Then went up to Winchelsea village, chose about 6 houses that I shall be buying when I win the lottery, had icecream and coffee from that lovely shop there. Didn't notice any posters up there at all. Not sure if it would be worth putting one or 2 up. Anyway, hope eveyone is well x

2014-07-09 00:57 Bob

Hi To every one, Just keep on thinking and hope to have some sort of sighting? Come on Misty Lets have a good showing!! and did you find the emailed pictures Clarkey ? Many Thanks To All for your continued help
Bob and Rene xx

2014-07-03 18:48 sheltielover

Please look on Facebook - K9Tracker - they have all the searches they do on this page now. They may be able to help to find misty - it may be the only way as she covers such a large area.

2014-06-30 22:42 Bob

Hi to every one, Many thanks for all the on going help. Angel all the time we had Misty she was a like most collies,when they are your dogs you barely have to call them and had it been with us we would only have had to tell to sit and there she would stay. But she was being looked after while we was away on Holiday and did not know that she was to be walked! That gives a different out look because if she slipped the collar she would not return to some one she did not know, as most Shelties are nervous and take a time to come to any one new.Thanks for the interest.
Bob and Rene

2014-06-30 22:20 angel.2005@hotmail.co.uk

Sorry did not read that she was hope u find her I do know that breed likes to rUn off

2014-06-30 19:34 ALI

worked in Rye today and made sure my route took me through Icklesham - drove really slowly - saw posters - the fruit stall and the kennels - she is so close to home - how frustrating for you Bob and Rene. If you ever get a sighting always worth giving me a quick call and if I'm free - happy to try and get there for you if you can't....obviously depends on work and other commitments but perhaps a group text to team Misty would mean someone could respond.....you are doing so well and we just want this young lady home x

2014-06-30 14:24 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Bob and Rene.
Hv just spent the morning with TK going to all the private houses on the big layby side of A259 (fruit stall side) where Misty was seen. Spoke to Oak Pond kennels owners and the fruit stall people who were both very helpful and have taken posters. All householders took them too. Poster up at entrance of footpath into fields behind there .. opp side to North Lane turning. Harborough Bursery already had one, gave poster for notice board in Icklesham Farm shop.
Productive morning speaking to lots of people some of whom were not aware of Misty.
Many not aware that Misty was lost due to no fault of her owners.

angel.2005@hotmail.co.uk It does say on this page that Misty is microchipped. Do you know of someone who has recently got a dog like Misty? If so, please contact Doglost in confidence. Thanks.

Hi Angel,yes we have had her since she was a pup. She came from a local breeder and we visited her every week until she was old enough to come home with us and yes she is microchipped. Bob and Rene

2014-06-30 09:02 angel.2005@hotmail.co.uk

Have u had her from a pup and is she micro chipped?

2014-06-30 08:30 Bob

Good Morning To Every One, and re the poster Clarkey, I am fine with the poster going to the poster image But Needs a note to say that the image was when she was brushed, clipped around the paws, and clean! Yesterday both people who saw a dog running said ( Dark in colour ) which if she is not groomed and clean must look darker? I don't want people to diss miss a darker than picture Misty! What do you feel ?
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

Just to say that I have changed the 2nd photo of Misty back to the original one that was on the page as not everyone will have seen it. Hope that's ok Bob and Rene.. let me know if you want to put it as the poster photo.

Went out to Icklesham earlier this eve, as Springermad says, lots of posters up still all through 3 oaks & Icklesham, still lots of posters up around Recreation Ground in Icklesham... stayed for a while while kids had a play, kept an eye on the back field as she was seen there before, but nothing..
Spotted the Oast, as you say, she was so close to home ....

2014-06-29 22:20 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Teehee! You can stand a bit of teasing .. all in a good cause! Celebration sounds good!
Have just had msg from someone on Fbk Hastings Dog Lovers page ..
Says "I saw a few weeks back in the evening at the country park car park on the left as you leave Ore. I thought it was far too big to be a fox and posted about it in the hastings dog lover page. As soon as it saw my car it ran off, I didn't want to get out my car as it was dark and I was alone"
Might have been Misty but would hv been difficult to tell in the dark, but we do know she has been in that area before so definitely possible. However, Misty is small so may not have been but lady says tail was too bushy to be fox.

Many thanks Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-29 21:57 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I knew it! Anyway, I have been down, located the oast and noted a poster on the gate to the entrance of the oast. This sighting would definitely tie in with the second one along the main road. All in the same area of previous sightings, and so close to home. Had a drive around, saw TK in Icklessham park and gave a wave as I had to carry on to collect my son. Lots of posters around Icklesham. Be interesting to see what tomorrow brings. Good luck

2014-06-29 21:08 ALI

brilliant news about the sighting today - we weren't far away and could have gone there - am working for next 3 days but working in Rye tomorrow so will drive through Icklesham and keep an eye out BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY.....get you SpringerMad....Helper in the pink - what with you and 'family friend' I am in awe of you both. Seriously deserved though - we should celebrate with coffee and kit kats soon - your round this time 'Helper' Got everything crossed we get further sightings of Misty and we can get her home to Rene and Bob very soon xx

2014-06-29 19:44 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks Rene. That would make sense really. TK has agreed to pick me up in the morning so we can go and see if we can talk to the lady at Oakpond Kennels (she was aware of Misty before) and also see whether the fruit stall is there again. We'll check the posters around the area.

2014-06-29 19:18 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Is it worth someone speaking with the owners of Oakpond Kennels again, just so they are aware & looking out for her ...? Just a thought x

2014-06-29 19:15 Rene

Hi to everyone,the sightings would have been at about 11.30 this morning.Our nieghbour thinks he may have seen her across the field near the end of Butchers Lane where a track goes up to a converted oast,she could then have come out onto the main road at the entrance to North Lane and then ran along the road towards Guestling Thorn and Icklesham.Sorry cant be more specific but we didnt speak to the person that saw the dog running along the road he spoke to the person that sells fruit in the layby near Oak Pond kennels and she rang us. Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-29 18:59 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Not at all .. you deserve it! You've helped me ever since I've been with Doglost and have been invaluable when I've been at work and not able to update on pages.

Oh don't!! It's a bit embarrassing with the badge! I'll never hear the last of it from TK and Ali haha. Yes heading down there in a bit for a poke around x

2014-06-29 18:46 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Whoo hoo! Great to see your new badge on here Springermad!
I wld do that if I could but have no car at the mo .. hubby has just got some work in Eastbourne and we are sharing the car :( So annoying!
TK says she will check all the posters in that and Icklesham area .. thanks.
Springermad prob going to hv a look too.
Bob .. what time was the sighting please? Perhaps you would let us know asap when the sightings come in so we can have a look? TK, Springermad and I were all available this morning and could hv helped!

Any idea of timings of the sightings. Just incase it is a regular time that she is in that area, I could maybe go and sit in the car and watch. The oakpond kennel area sightings always seem to be around 8.30 am.

2014-06-29 18:36 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Brilliant!! Was just texting you to see if you could bump the page Clarkey! I think that house with the pond may be where Tiga was tracking back in the march sighting will have to check that with Jenny. Good news though x

2014-06-29 18:32 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

That's really good news Bob. That's 3 sightings in the area recently. Wonder if she has stayed int he area or moved away and then back again. Perhaps she's found somewhere to feed and also uses the duck pond to drink from.
Bob .. do you know the people who own the Oast House? If so, would let me know please?
I've bumped the page 'cos of sighting.

Thats great news we must all keep our eyes open as we drive around or walk with the dogs. I will have a good look tomorrow with my early start with the papers.
Just to say around about midnight we heard a car outside our house then a dog yapping somewhere behind our house.
Fingers crossed she shows herself and trails can be set to encourage her home xx

2014-06-29 13:19 Bob

Just update, This morning we had a couple of shouts of a possible sighting of Misty! Our next door neighbour came back from across the fields towards Guestling Thorne,who had been looking for a tabby cat with his Bins: and said he was sure that he had seen Misty near the duck pond in the Oast House grounds.A few mins later the lady selling fruit etc: in the Oak Pond Lay by called my mobile and said a car driver came in saying that there is an oldish small dark collie running along the Thorne?
We went up that way and had a look both sides of the road and in the nursery etc: but a usual did not see her!
Lets hope we will have a few more Calls!!
Many Thanks To All Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-27 07:14 Bob

Just to say I have dropped off the three hundred and fifty "Misty Flyers" to go in the locally delivered papers From Richards Paper Shop at Westfield on Saturday. Lets hope that it helps prompt another sighting or ten!!
Many thanks to all for the continued help,
Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-25 22:54 Bob

Hi Lesley, Thanks for that, And Yes would be very nice to hear of a sighting ! Misty has been to elusive !!
Thanks again I will try to get them down there tomorrow,
Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-25 20:22 Lesley

Hi Bob and Rene
Yes flyers usually go out on a Saturday as the rounds tend to have more deliveries on so leave in the shope tomorrow or Friday.
I really hope we can get some news of Misty even if someone says I saw a dog like that etc.
Lesley x

2014-06-25 18:06 Bob

Hi to every one, A quick note to Lesley, I take it that Richard will want the Posters Tomorrow or Friday as I imagine he does them on Saturday as last time? ( sorry to pester you ! )
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

Just to say I have just finished the 350 prints to go in the papers, had to dive out for more paper and ink for the printer! Lets hope that it may be that some one has seen Misty and that the flyers may have some more results? Here,s all things crossed!
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-20 07:24 Bob

Morning Lesley, I will get printing and can you thank Richard. Fingers Crossed we have another sighting before too long!
Thanks to all for there continued help, Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-20 06:53 Lesley

Hello team Misty.
Richard says about 350 flyers at a cost of 5p each. Half price as it is for Misty.
Keep up the good work and fingers crossed for a sighting really soon

2014-06-17 00:01 Bob

Evening all, Just to say that if any one needs a few laminated posters in bright colours I have about thirty ready to go.Hi to Lesley, Richard did do a run in the newspapers not long after Misty went on her travels! Could you ask how many leaflets would he need and rough price and I will get printing some more!! And to Springer Mad I have not done any glitter ones yet but tried another wiggle?!!
Many Thanks To every one Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-16 08:41 Lesley

Well done with all the postering. Was out early delivering the papers the lanes around Westfield look lovely. Just a thought the papers from Westfield news are delivered to Icklesham and Fairlight as well as Westfield, Brede and Three Oaks on my round. It might be worth asking Richard to put a flyer in the papers.
Still taking my friends Shelties out, but we haven't had a sighting. Fingers crossed for one soon. We need Misty home x

2014-06-16 07:24 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Ooh Bob, you are getting very artistic with your posters. There'll be ones with glittery edges next!! x

2014-06-16 01:00 Bob

Hi to every one, Thanks for all the help and a big thanks to TK Springer Mad Ali and co for all their great help, I did do a few posters the other night with a white centre and a bright Boarder! if any one needs them.
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-15 22:31 ALI

I too have been out this evening adding to "family friend's" (TK) posting in westfield........I added some down wheel lane - replacing the ones I put there some months back that are now illegible. I also did the rough road etc near the doctors surgery and put one outside the church hall where I think there is a playgroup daily. BEFORE you say it SpringerMad I still have a good supply of posters but actually ran out of pins so perhaps we could meet again so I can nick yours!!

2014-06-15 19:41 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I thought I had used the last one..... then I discovered some more in the bottom of the rucksack, so I do still have some posters left... no more needed at the moment thank you Springermad ...!
Will try and poster Rock Lane area & helipad area this week .. x

2014-06-15 18:25 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh well done TK (aka Family Friend). Expect you've used all your posters up again. Bob, I think you are needed!!! x

2014-06-15 17:24 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

We went over to Rye this afternoon, so on way over put posters along main road in Icklesham & all around Recreation ground...
Tried to find somewhere to put one in Winchelsea, but is such a prim and proper town, couldn't find a suitable spot .. :(
On way back, Replaced posters by recreation ground in Broad Oak & Brede village hall, there are still a few up around Broad Oak & Brede... Put one up by shop on main road in Westfield, & put a couple up near playground & bus shelter opp Westfield church... .put one in bus shelter at top of Westfield lane...

Hopefully we will get another sighting very soon ..x

Followers are back ..... yay x

2014-06-12 11:15 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Shelties Mum, I think Bob means the actual number of followers is missing from above. I also noticed that a few days ago. Perhaps there are too many!

2014-06-12 10:03 DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent

I'm here following with great interest and hoping she shows herself again.

2014-06-11 19:27 Bob

Ah! I forgot ask where has Mistys Followers gone? They don@t seem to be there the last few days?

2014-06-11 19:25 Bob

Evening all, Thank you for all the good work, if any one needs some more posters please let me know or leave what you need and I will do some later on tonight/or early hours !!
Many thanks For all your help Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-11 18:55 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Was a very productive morning, lots of posters up around Pett Level now... I think I took your last couple of posters Springermad ... You may need some more ! TK (family friend)

2014-06-11 16:19 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I spat my coffee out at Horatio. Clarkey that is all your fault for calling him blinking Hector! Anyway, yes a good mornings work with TK ("family friend", or so she wanted the observer readers to believe haha). Bob I think Ali may need more laminated posters for Westfield, not sure what we had left after this morning, but the laminated ones, especially the different coloured ones are the most eyecatching x

2014-06-11 15:59 ALI

LOL SpringerMad you are SO funny - that's why you were fighting TK and I over who should update the page.....for anyone who is remotely interested it was me that bought the coffees....and don't forget the chunky kit kats - It was SpringerMad who forgot her purse!! Despite that a good mornings work done - the dogs enjoyed being together and it was lovely to meet Horatio at last!! Lets hope all the posters bring news. I am working this weekend so will try and re-poster in Westfield if I get a chance x

2014-06-11 13:30 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Just got back from Pett Level with Ali and TK. Have managed to poster pretty much everywhere with the laminated ones that Bob kindly printed off. So hopefully they will weather well if people leave them up. I bought us a coffee in the beach café place (for some reason Ali always forgets her purse!!) and the gentleman there kindly took a poster to put up. Now waiting for the calls to roll in hopefully!!

2014-06-11 08:11 Bob

Yes I will bring them in, will be there just about nine,
Cheers Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-11 06:43 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

cheers for that Bob, will they be at your work with you this morning? If so I may just swing in and grab some on my way back from school or on way out to meet tk and ali. Time is tight, so i'll try my best x

2014-06-11 01:06 Bob

If any one needs posters I have just printed and laminated 44 all ready to go !
Cheers Bob xx

2014-06-10 23:36 Bob

Just to say I should have about 40 laminated posters done for the morning if any one needs? have put on poster date as June 2014
Many thanks Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-10 22:09 Bob

Evening all, just got home and had me nose bag on and come to have a look! We must say a big thanks to all of you for your help and reading through your comments I just wondered if you would like some bright background posters? with a month and year stating that we are still missing Misty and all sightings are important.I will get a few under way so leave me a text or email or a note on Dogs Lost
Many Thanks to all of you for your help Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-10 19:32 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Of course it is ok to come along you silly mare!! Have just text you x

2014-06-10 19:29 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi, am free tomorrow if ok to come along ... Had a drive around yesterday (whilst geocaching), There were alot of posters still around Ivy House lane area & Three Oaks... None spotted in Icklesham, Winchelsea or Winchelsea Beach .... Some still up at Pett Level, 2 still up in bus shelters along Waites Lane, Fairlight, 1 still up by Fairlight church... 1 still up in main Countrypark car park (1 in top car park has gone)... none up at Helipad or Mill Lane ... Also noticed the other day, none up in Westfield, some still up in Broad Oak as Ali saw some last week.. Just to update where posters are at the moment...

Misty's article was in Rye/Battle Observer 6th June , (and online) Couldn't see it in Hastings edition or online on Hastings web page, have emailed Andy at Observer as he said it was in both ..? No answer as yet, but I did put in email, please could it go in this weeks Hastings edition.. will keep fingers crossed :)

yes, am up for that. I have posters and drawing pins! But no highlighter pen. Think we need to draw attention to June 2014 so people don't just think it is old posters hanging around. Will text you and TK shortly x

2014-06-10 13:53 ALI

Am up for a walk tomorrow if anyone else is......have to take mum out at 2 but happy to meet up in the morning for walk/posters etc

2014-06-07 03:37 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

CJ .. sorry I did not answer to yr post re photos. The person who saw Misty a few weeks ago and saw how matted her coat was had seen her from a moving so unfortunately no chance to take a photo. Hopefully soon someone will get the chance to do so as Bob, Rene and all of Team Misty would love to see one.
>>> Thanks sheltielover. Ray's advice is excellent and we would follow it to a T if we got the chance. However, as I have explained we very rarely get a sighting that is not a few days old and by that time Misty has moved on again. Misty's owners have followed Doglost scenting advice and laid trails when we thought she was near to her home but again no luck.

From Ray Dedicoat when looking for lost Shetland sheepdog Poppy - in Lincolnshire. This advice was instrumental in her return home.
a feeding station is vital to keep this little lady in the area!!! if she was seen inthe field adjacent to the track, then it needs a drag trail all around the perimeter and around the perimeter of any other places she was sighted.. especialy gateways and gaps where she,s been seen going through HAPPILY not chased, also drag around the resevoirs but make sure that they ALL lead back to a chosen site for the trap..for a suitable drag trail i use a bucket sized container, with a fitted lid.i boil up greasy breast of lamb, chicken, throw in a couple of tins of butchers tripe mix (tripe mix is best)plenty of water.and i then use a pillow case on a dog lead.. dipping it in to the mixture i walk my perimeters and obviously redipping every 50 yards or so..but a good idea is to drop say a nice spoonfull of the tripe or a bit of chicken, just to get em excited!!! it works.. but remember 4 very important things..1 all trails must lead to an area that you choose, idealy where you can be sat quietly in a car a safe distance from the trap. 2.. if you stumble across the dog you are after say nothing at all ..about turn and run away, taking all pressure off the dog you could let it see you throw something away, as though it was your chip paper or Mc Donalds junk.keep going and still head for your trap site.. 3..the trap site should contain the best of QUALITY food not a few bonio,s or dried complete food, cooked chicken,, liver etc. and very important COVER it using a piece of old carpet or an old sack,this stops the crows and magpies nicking it. the drag trail will last up to 24 hrs..but keep checking the trap station with the good stuff.. and finally 3..i have found that after 48hrs fear takes over the best of dogs and they are to frightened to go to anyone this includes the owner!! and thats scarey..DON,T look at them, speak to them,just have that lump of good food in tissue paper ,so they can see you throw it either towards them or by them .. then retreat!! i have tried to get in touch with Andy but perhaps someone could pass this on to whoever is trying to cach POPPY. another MEGA important thing is to make sure the trap is not only big enough but strong enough to hold what ever sized dog you are after..NEVER EVER leave a trap set unattended!!! you can catch cats other peoples animals,, and if the dog you are after see,s a trapped animal in that cage, trust me they all send out the same message and it will keep well away... i hope some of this will be of use to you good people on DOG LOST UK because thats what you are...that JAYNE LADY from head office has started something QUITE UNIQUE here and whats most important!!! IT FLIPPIN WELL WORKS!!!

2014-06-06 14:34 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Its a great help as time for us has been very short of late and still have a fair bit to do, but I think we are moving in the right direction.We would like to thank every one for all the support that they give and now hope we have another sighting and maybe have our little baby back home!! ??

2014-06-05 17:24 Lesley

I have justbeen checking out the Rye and Battle observer website and Misty's story is there. Really hoping this will bring more sightings of her and for her to be back home really soon. Was out with my friends Shelties yesterday and chatted with other dog walkers about Misty, they all said they would keep a look out.

2014-06-04 14:18 ALI

Had to go to staplecross today so diverted to the Chitcombe road, through Westfield, Brede etc bit no sign of Misty - few posters still around. Always have my phone ready to grab a picture but sadly nothing to report today. Wednesday is good for me and this time will get some decent drawing pins to save me from nicking yours SpringerMad...lol

2014-06-04 09:02 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

has there been sightings on any camera ?? if not could anyone that spots any dog they think could be Misty take a photo however far away? Recents sighting must have been close to see a matted coat so if seen again to take a photo and hopefully image can be enhanced to check markings etc .

2014-06-04 07:53 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi, yes have photos, just forwarding them to Andy at Observer now ....

Hi to all, thanks for all the interest on the Dog Lost Page, Noticed the mention of posters, Please let me know if and how many and I will get into the mid night express poster mode and I will print and laminate some up! As to picture ( TK ) I will have a look into that and send on in the early hours

2014-06-03 16:22 Ellie

Hi Clarkey
yes I do mean ray Dedicoat although I wasn't sure of his second name. I do believe that he is going to help with Oscar the elusive sprollie so I thought he could also help with Misty. What a shame!
Springermad
Yes I was meaning Ray Dedicoat who is a miracle man at catching lost dogs. However Clarkey doesn't think he will be able to help. Such a shame!

2014-06-03 14:13 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Ahah! So it's Stalkhurst up Ivyhouse Lane. that makes sense too as it goes up to the cross roads with Rock Lane where she first went missing.
>> TK .. that's great work and thanks for doing it so quickly.

Think we should check that there are posters all the way along Rock Lane, Eight Acre Lane, Butcher's Lane and also up towards Eighteen Pounder Stables etc. Misty was seen at a smallholding with the shetland ponies on that lane (it's at the bottom of the dip after the xroads with Ivyhouse, that's if you go up Ivyhouse Lane towards Three Oaks and turn left) It continues on towards Westfield (think Rock Lane changes to Moor Lane nearer to W'field) before the A28 then another place Misty has been seen more than once .. Wheel Lane/Church Lane/Vicarage Lane area and the woods by the small industrial park at Westfield. Then of course, if she continues on her usual triangle it would take her back up to Brede!

>>> Alternatively if she turns right at the xroads up Rock Lane it will take her towards the kennels and she's likely to go up Pug Alley (now closed off) where she was in an adjoining field the day after she was lost, and then up to Fairlight Country Park again. so it's 'try to guess which way Misty went' after Stalkhurst until we get another sighting!!

>>> Ellie. If you mean Ray Dedicoat who catches dogs when no one else can .. he is absolutely brilliant and does help us at Doglost but usually only goes to catch very frightened dogs that stay in one specific area. I'm afraid this is not what Misty does. She just keeps on moving and that's why we have never been able to set up a feeding station. We need to know 100% that she is remaining in one place for a few days before we can set up such a feeding station. I know the advice that Ray gives for tracking, trapping and laying scent trails for missing dogs .. and again, because Misty is never in the same place for long we are unable to follow it. Sadly there's no point putting a feeding station/trap up unless Misty is definitely in the area. We have however laid scent trails when we thought she was close to Bob and Rene's house, but no joy. This little girlie really gives us the runaround!

We just have to wait to see where Misty shows herself again.

Hi Ellie, what does Ray do?

2014-06-03 12:47 Ellie

As you have had a recent sighting, how about getting intouch with Ray of Holly Tree kennels? He works miracles!

2014-06-03 11:59 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Have just been out and put a poster up opposite entrance to Coghurst caravan park, whilst I was putting it up, 2 very nice gentlemen enquired about Misty.. 1 was staying there on holiday, says that some of the caravans leave bags of rubbish out overnight & they are ripped open in the morning, could be a number of animals, but a food source! The other chap I got the impression lived there, he knew the area, and was very keen & said he would look out for her...
I put a poster up on telegraph pole between Coghurst caravan park & bottom of Chowns Hill & I put one on telegraph pole by Bluebell Ridge Cat centre..,
I called into Ivyhouse Nursery, which is next to Stalkhurst Farm, I spoke to a lovely lady, who took a poster to put up & said she would tell her neighbours, the chap who lives next door with the pigs (where Misty was sighted a couple of weeks back) and her other neighbours.. She said that the chap who has the pigs, also has feral cats & puts food outside for them, so another food source..!
They had some lovely plants, all very reasonable ....
I also spoke to the owner of Stalkhurst Caravan Park, he took a poster & said he would put it up in the reception window...
As we know Misty could be anywhere now, but if she does return here, people are aware & loking out for her..

2014-06-03 10:05 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi everyone, Observer have received email and have agreed to do a story, I just need to make the photo bigger and re send to them as it was too small, I will have to get hubby to do it later, as I havent a clue... I have added about the recent sighting off ivyhouse lane too...
I have a few posters which I printed the other day, I was going to check the Broad oak ones, but will take them down & put a couple around Stalkhurst Farm area, will have a drive down & see if I can find it.....
Hopefully once the article goes out, more people will be aware of Misty & will be looking out for her & wehopefully will get some more sightings...
Wed is good for me next week Springermad & Ali ....

2014-06-03 09:38 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all.

Bob and Rene, sorry you have problems at the moment. Let's hope things get sorted for you.

Clarkey, all is forgiven about the Hector/Herbie mix up!! Yet another person called him Hector the other day haha. Will certainly be thinking of jobs for your hubby and you. Haven't booked a hol yet and not sure if/when we will go as one of mine is job hunting after leaving school this month so can't book anything til we know what is happening with him, but will bear you in mind for house/dog/cat sitting.

Ali, yes can meet up next week, and TK if you like, maybe wed as that might suit TK best with work etc?

Going to get looking on the map now and see where this Stalkhurst Farm place is.

Excellent news about the observer article, especially as there has been a fairly recent sighting. Will update the list of sightings in a bit and add that to it.

Ali, I have some spare posters. Was on phone to TK yesterday and we discussed putting in highlight over them something like JUNE 2014, across it so that people don't just think it is old posters that have not been taken down, and raise awareness that Misty is still out there, alive and well.

Had a look on the map Stalkhurst farm looks like that's on ivy house lane.....is that right. Really glad we have had a long awaited sighting even though it was a few weeks ago. Am around wed/thurs next week if anyone fancies a mooch/catch up.....happy to grab some posters if you have some Bob - hope you and Rene are ok - we are all here to help and support you in anyway we can. Clarkey will certainly bear your hubby in mind re work etc. What an incredible young lady Misty is if only she knew what the team were up to to get her home where she belongs xx

2014-06-03 02:17 Bob

Hi to every one, Just to amend that Rene has put Shearbarn and it should read Stalkhurst Farm near to where the Pigs are in the wood which has another of her much liked public foot paths! ( Rene Tried to amend her comment but it was pinked out for a while? but I see its is back on as it was. ) Thanks to all for the help
Bob and Rene xx

2014-06-03 01:40 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

That's brilliant Rene! Just as we start saying we haven't had a sighting you get a message to say she's been seen. So the posters are working and we are on to you again Misty!!!
Shearbarn is the caravan site up Barley Lane. There are a couple of places on their camping fields that have footpaths into Fairlight. Not sure where the pigs are but there are some farms up there so maybe that's where the caller meant. This sounds as if it may have been a little while after the last sighting near the kennels at Guestling which would make sense.
I am bumping the page because of the sighting!

Hi everyone. Firstly many thanks to all who are still following the search for Misty .. the resilient but very elusive girlie who has not been seen for a few weeks. I am certain the latest sighting was her as she was described as having a very matted coat. (The sighting was also by someone who knows what a Sheltie looks like & who knew of Misty)

>>> This is Misty's "I'm going to keep you guessing as to where I am" time as this is exactly what happened last year and then several sightings near Pett level all around the same time! So it's time for a new sighting now.

For Misty's new followers please remember that Misty was lost through no fault of Bob and Rene .. she slipped her lead whilst being walked when at kennels & unfortunately her owners were not told for several days.

>>> We know that Misty is still travelling in her 'triangle'.
This is basically in & between
Rock Lane where she went missing, Three Oaks which is her home, Westfield, Broad Oak, Brede, Winchelsea, Pett Village, Pett level, Fairlight village, Fairlight country park, Guestling & Ore.
There have been several sightings in all of these places & this has been confirmed by us talking to the people who have spotted her & also by our lovely dog tracker JB & Tiga.

>>> Many thanks to Springermad, TK & anyone else who has been renewing posters.
>>> VERY special thanks to TK who has spoken to a lovely reporter Adam at the Hastings/Rye Observer who has shown an interest in Misty's story.
The Observer is our only local paper & is read by numerous readers .. both in Hastings & also in the Rye/Fairlight areas so it would be absolutely brilliant if they inform their readers of Misty's continued predicament. It still amazes me that Misty has survived so well, in all weathers for this long, but we know she has & it just goes to show what a tough breed the Sheltie is.
Hopefully he will do an article about Misty in the near future. I will be able to bump this page if that happens & also when there is a new sighting. Thanks & well done to TK!

Bob & Rene are going through a rough time at the mo & I'm sure we all want to express our continued support to them .. we WILL NOT give up & we are always here to help you.

>>> Springermad. I'm grovelling! I promise I will try to remember that your new pup is Herbie, not Hector!! I'm sure we will all meet him soon .. he must be growing fast now & is very lucky to have such a lovely home with you & your family.
Hv to say this, bit naughty (sorry B & R) but on a personal note my hubby just lost his job so if you or anyone you know needs carpentry or house maintenance done please let me know! My work finishes at the end of the month so I'll be able to join you a bit more often to help with postering/searching.

>>> Until then I know I can rely on our fantastic TEAM MISTY to keep up the brilliant work they have been & are doing! Many, many thanks to you all.

>>> MISTY .. it's sunny & we all know you'll be out & about again so it really is time to show yourself please girlie!!!

2014-05-31 00:05 Bob

Thanks for that TK and to say there is nothing we would like more than a few new sightings! ( fingers and all crossed! )
Thanks to all for there help Bob and Rene xx

2014-05-30 22:22 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Just got back, had walk along beach & along back of caravan park at Pett Level..There were a few cars at caravan park, so people staying there, but unfortunately no one was outside, that I could talk to...

Posters still up by toilets, posters along sea wall either side of caravan park have gone, so replaced, also put one up at end of sea wall at Private beach end. Put one up on roadside by lifeboat station..
On way home placed posters in 2 bus shelters up Waites Lane, Fairlight (they seem to use them like community notice boards), one in bus shelter by Fairlight Chuch, one in top car park & one in main car park at Fairlight Country Park.. & replaced poster in Guestling Church car park, as faded.... Drove back through 3 oaks, still lots of posters up around there...
Will replace the one I put on main road in Westfield, opp butchers which has gone & will check there are still a couple still up in Brede/Broad Oak tomorrow..
Just need a sighting now please Misty x

ps, I added to tbe bottom of the posters .... June 2014 - Misty still missing, may be in this area, please look out for her.... (as her posters have been up for while, to let people know that she is still missing)

Thanks for that TK we have had a lot of things going on the last few months which means that we seem to be snowed under and there does not leave enough hours in the day or week. We will let all our close friends when we meet next time, but that's not for misty's page. Lets hope she is still ok and pops up soon, all the best
Bob and Rene xx

2014-05-29 19:54 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Was thinking of having a walk along beach at pett level tomorrow afternoon/evening, will have a look along by caravan park & if any caravaners about, will have a word to see if they have seen her... will take a couple of posters, just in case any have gone/need replacing... hope she will be spotted again soon x

2014-05-29 19:32 Bob

We'll keep all things crossed for that TK and would just like to here and have some news! Has she spent to long down at Barney;s ? and is having more to do ?
We thank all for the comments which helps when not much being seen.

Now isten here Clarkey, it is Herbie and not Hector!!! You are not the only one who has done this, maybe I should just change his name to Hector and be done with it haha.
Ok TK, will be in touch and we shall choose a nice sunny day for a walk and poster. Ali, stop skiving off, and get yourself back on here, we are at busy Misty times again! xx

2014-05-15 00:13 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

2014-05-14 21:32 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi everyone.
Thanks forchecking Misty's page for updates.
I agree Springermad. Now is the likely time for Misty to go to Pett again.
>>> Bob .. please would you hv a chat with her breeder up in Fairlight just to ask them to keep their eyes peeled for her in case she visits again. If they see her there maybe they could entice her into their garden. Or maybe it would be a good place to set up a feeding station if she appears!
Chances are that she will be coming in season too so is likely to be visiting Barney.
Springermad, that's a good idea. Would be lovely to meet Hector! If you get the chance please would you put posters up in Fairlight village as that's another place she went through last year.
Warm weather forecast for next few days so hoping Misty will oblige by showing herself.
Bob .. if you put an ad in Friday Ad please let me know (text me?) so I can bump this page. Thanks.

Hi to every one, Thanks to SpringerMad and all for your help. Please let me know if you need any more posters and I will soon turn some up with some comment to make them look a bit different! We have had quite a lot of probs: Rene has had her ninetey one year old dad in Hospital back out too soon and now back in! plus still trying to put right the damage that the 80ft Lilandi caused a couple of months ago!! Hope to see every one soon, feel free to call my mobile if any body needs to speak to me.
Many Thanks for all the help, Bob and Rene xx
PS Fell Free to just walk in at home Misty!

2014-05-14 07:36 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

morning all, how is everyone? We are now entering the time when Misty arrives down at Pett for her hols. So over the next week or 2 I plan to get down and renew posters ready for the season's visitors and day trippers. If anyone fancies meeting up with dogs to do this then Herbie has now had his injections so am out and about again! x

2014-05-06 19:17 Bob

Hi,just to say thanks very much for all of your comments and help ( which comments help us keep on the case! ) I found a missing poster and a very faint one, so I have renewed them to let people know that we are still looking for Misty. I must put another add to keep every one ( that don't check on the Dog Lost Site ! ) in the Friday add.
Thanks for all your help Bob and Rene xx

2014-05-06 11:53 Ellie

Hi
I have just read on Dogs Reunited about a sheltie called Poppy No.66926. There is a comment on there from Rayded who has given some brilliant advice on how to catch her and it has clearly worked as Poppy is now safe and well in the blue.Well worth a read for team Misty. I do hope she is found soon. I do come on here regularly to check her out but live too far to help out physically!

Hi, Just to say, I'm still keeping my eyes peeled & checking on here each day.... Hoping that we will have an idea where Misty is very soon & can get looking for her again .. x

2014-05-04 21:42 Clare

Hi Bob and Rene. I like im sure many others check daily in the hope of seeing Misty in blue. Stay positive and never give up hope that she will be back. Hoping and praying for her safe return asap x

2014-05-04 06:08 Bob

Hi, Thanks for the comment Tan, You are right in saying that we would just love to have her home and its always when we get these long gaps without being seen we worry but you have to work on that the previous year it was four months! So we have to keep looking forward to the next sighting or possible sighting! Here goes fingers and all crossed we here before too long? Again Thanks to Everyone, for their continued support
Bob and Rene xx

2014-05-03 14:12 Tan

I have followed Misty for a long time now and so hoped I would see her reunited with you - I don't come on here very often now; I actually find it too distressing to read about all the dogs who are lost!! Hopefully with the sun shining - hope it is where you are too - she will show herself, sending positive vibes you will have her back soon..... x

2014-05-03 01:42 Bob

Hi to all and thanks to SpringerMad for the encouragement, we are all things crossed for another sighting of Misty! Lets hope she is well and has a show before too long! We thank everyone for their continued help and just wait for that call!
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

Afternoon all, I'm sure Misty will be popping up again soon, especially if she does the same as last year x

2014-04-26 18:59 Bob

Yes us to Baggy Dog, We would love to here again! but we had four and a half months of no sightings in early 2013.
So we just keep every thing crossed and hope for good news!
Thank all of her followers for their continued support Bob and Rene xx

2014-04-10 19:05 ALI

Not commented for a while but been checking regularly to keep me up to date with any news. Misty often goes quiet and then pops up somewhere. Still keep an eye out in the lanes round Westfield when I am working. Easters coming up so I wonder if she'll go to the coast for the Easter break.....that's the sort of thing this amazing girl would do......there will be more people hopefully visiting the area so am keeping everything crossed for another sighting very soon x

2014-04-07 09:14 Bob

Morning to all, Thanks for your comment Clarkey, I will produce some more laminated posters today and try to get a couple more up down at Pett Level Area.
Many thanks to all for continued help in the quirt times, Bob and Rene xx

2014-04-06 15:32 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi everyone, Yes I think we are all hoping for a new sighting of Misty now the weather's improving. I ended up driving down Pett level today unexpectedly and noticed that there were only 2 posters of Misty..one before & one at the loos. There do not seem to be any left of the many that I put up along the level ..may hv bn taken down by the council as they were laminated ones and shld not hv bn destroyed by the weather. Unfortunately didn't hv any with me so cld not replace them. If anyone is able to put some up at strategic places it would be a great help. The Winchelsea Beach Cafe is open 7 days a week now. There was also a wagon selling coffee and food half way along the level so wld be good if someone cld go and let them know about Misty .. she may even be attracted by the smell of their food!
With Easter coming up there's a good chance Misty will be seen again.

2014-04-03 07:14 Bob

Morning to everyone,Well we have some much better weather and then Misty seems to go to ground again! So come on Misty give us a showing! We thank you all for your continued help and just hope for a least another showing before too long!
Bob and Rene xx

2014-03-25 01:19 Bob

Hi everyone, I think all the comments are valid as when the guy spoke to me I did say about the male Sheltie and that he is a fairly light brown and white and well groomed where as Misty is Darker in her winter coat and must be well matted up after eighteen months of roaming. I think everyone has their own thoughts on what is light and dark so if anyone is near they could ask as his owners have always been keen to help! Thanks for all the help Bob and Rene xx

I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, but wouldn't the male Sheltie be a lot cleaner and tidier than Misty. After all he isn't roaming about like Misty whose coat would be a bit matted.

Maybe the owner of the male Sheltie would let Bob have her mobile number, so that if there are further sightings down there, she could be texted to ask if they were there at the time of the sighting...?

2014-03-24 07:49 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, can anyone establish if the male Sheltie was at the caravan this weekend? We don't want to assume it was deffo him, as Misty was tracked there recently? x

Hi everyone, I had a nice gent: ring me this afternoon who said he had seen a Sheltie roaming along the cliff end of the sea just along from the caravan site at Pett Level where the male Sheltie lives some of the time and described as being light brown and white so it was more than likely him and not Misty? We will hopefully have a new sighting soon!

Headed out this morning for a walk with dogs combined with a scour for Misty.. drove through Three Oaks, Icklesham - stopped at playing fields, winchelsea, Winchelsea Beach - went up dog hill road & had a look around the toilets up there, Parked up at Pett Level & had a walk around past Caravan Park ( the poster I put up by the steps to the west of the caravan park on the sea wall has gone, but there is still a bright poster on the sea wall by the lifeboat house & a bright poster by the toilets) Had a good walk around the area & then drove home via Pett Village ... lots of posters up and about still so that is good.. hoping there will be another sighting soon x

2014-03-12 09:59 Jenny & Tiga k9tracker

Sorry for the late update - but thanks to SpringerMad for joining me today on our search for Misty. Tiga did not pick up any scent crossing the road but did go round the orchard and then along the road towards the garden nursery. The scent we did find in the woods was not indicative of fresh scent but did indicate that Misty has been in the area in the last 2 weeks. From here I went onto Pett and from the toilets Tiga confidently took me to the caravan park and around the track and then directly to the male Sheltie's caravan and sat down not wanting to move. So I guess the recent sighting about 9 days ago was clearly Misty again looking for her boyfriend. Posters were still up and I spoke to a few people who braved the bleak walk along the seafront.

Hi every one, Thanks to Jenney and Tiga and Springer Mad for the great help today. JB text tonight to say that was a fairly strong sent at Pett Level leading to the male Sheltie's place on the caravan park, but I have not spoken to her yet and I will double check with Berni on the exact place of crossing today as it is easy along that road to be a bit out and its is very busy! I will update after speaking to JB. Thanks to everyone for there continued help

No excuse Ali, you should have loaded the patients into your car and brought them to help! Jenny will be updating on Pett Level this eve.

Thanks for your text this morning SpringerMad.......as you know I was working and I don't think my patients would have been very pleased if I left them to join you in the Misty hunt today......really pleased we've had another sighting - back where we walked with TK (and near where I had to find a bush I believe)!! - she is so close to home now have everything crossed she stays safe and we can re-unite her very soon x

2014-03-11 17:51 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Have just got back from the sighting area. Went with Jenny and Tiga. There did not appear to be very strong scent from where Misty was seen, although Tiga picked up scent from time to time. Jenny has decided to go down to Pett Level now to see if there is any scent from Misty down near the toilets.

2014-03-11 14:52 pixies peeps

Just a thought but would the owner of the caravan site dog be willing to put a coloured bandana on her dogs collar to identify it as the resident one if seen.

Hopefully now that the 'nicer' weather is upon us Misty might venture out more. I know that my JRTs just love the sun and being out in it. So I expect that Misty will too!

2014-03-08 23:17 Bob

Yes that's brilliant news for the Jenny and Tiga Team! They have done lots to help us to know when Misty has been or not at different sightings which always helps us to at least know our little girl is still up and about.And all our thoughts are with Springer Mad we know only too well over our poorly dogs in the last few years! Thanks to all for help and kindness, Bob and Rene xx

Hello to every one, First I /We must say how sorry we are for Springer Mad, We really feel for her and family as we know only to well about loosing one so close,we have had just too many with illness and been in the same boat! All we can say is our thoughts are with you, But that does not seem enough? All the best
Bob and Rene xx

2014-03-06 19:30 Lesley

Yes Clarkey, we can't rule out that it wasn't Misty, we need another sighting.
From all of us here our sympathies to Springermad, losing any pet is hard and making that decision is the hardest one to make, (been there a couple of times) you are so brave. A new pup will come your way and brighten your life just as Bertie did. Rest in peace Bertie x

2014-03-06 19:05 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Oooops! Managed to pink myself when trying to edit this post!!

Lesley .. thanks for going to Pett level and speaking to Brian. Interesting to hear Barney is still allowed to wander.. owner had said she would keep him close by but I suppose old habits die hard.
However, we cannot totally discount it being Misty .. it's quite possible that she has come into season again now that the weather is a little warmer and that she has gone visiting this little chap like she did before. Looking forward to a warm weekend if the forecast is to be trusted so keeping everything crossed that there will be another sighting.

Bob ..hope you will excuse me using Misty's page for this message to you and all your helpers. I just wanted you all to know that Springermad has been going through a really sad time in the last 2 weeks. Despite doing everything she could, poor Bertie had to be put to sleep last week (not a decision made lightly) leaving her and her family with a dog free home which must have been unbearable for them. However, a new young pup will, I am sure, be in residence soon and will no doubt help to ease their heartbreak. That will be one very lucky puppy! You have been so brave Springermad and you have my never ending admiration for continuing to help with lost dogs .. you really are a brilliant helper. Thank you.

Hello everyone especially Bob and Rene
We took the Shelties to Pett Level this afternoon. Called in to the caravan park. Spoke with Brian the manager who confirmed that the male Sheltie was there Saturday and Sunday and indeed does wander on occasions. So it more likely to have been him not Misty. We spoke with a couple on the park who will keep an eye out.
We will keep looking and spreading the word.
Let us hope with better weather and more people out and about Misty will be seen sometime soon x

In Derbyshire at the moment but logging on when I can to see doglost updates - everything crossed we get confirmation that this was Misty seen at the toilets in Pett x

2014-03-05 19:35 Bob

Evening all, Just got home from work for din dins! and had a quick look! ? Well when the lady rang I mentioned the part time one on the camp and said that he was a light brown and white but she tended to think it was a darker colour? But if any one is down that way the manager is a friendly guy and may have the answer. I think he is there when the green Ford Estate is about. Thanks to every one for all the help, Bob and Rene xx

Hi everyone, Yes, we know that on previous occasions the Sheltie from the caravan park has wandered around on his own. However it would be good to speak to the caravan site manager to see if the lady was in residence at the weekend. Then we can have more of an idea as to whether it was him or Misty. Bob has photos of the male dog but obviously to people who are not very doggy one Sheltie will look much like another!

Oh well done TK hubby! All very frustrating though!! I wonder if the caravan manager could clarify if the other sheltie was there at the weekend? If he was then I wonder if he is allowed to roam outside the park on his own? If he was then perhaps it is not misty. Is the caravan manager there all year round do we know? He is our most likely person to answer our questions.

2014-03-05 10:07 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Just to say my husband had a job to do in Pett Level this morning, The lady's daughter was there & he mentioned Misty to them.. The daughter said she saw a Sheltie by the toilets on Sunday, it seemed to be on it's own. He asked what sort of condition the coat was in & she said a good condition, not mattered! She wasn't the lady who rang Bob, so there was definately a sheltie by the toilets on Sunday, but looked in good condition... Do you think it was the one from the caravan park or is it Misty?

2014-03-04 19:23 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

That's great TK. Thanks for doing that search and especially the postering.
Bob .. did you manage to speak to the people that bred Misty? Just think that it's a place she would go to if she is in the area again. Also when you go there again, it would be a good idea to speak to the caravan site manager and to give him a new poster for the notice board so he and the visitors are aware that Misty is still missing but in the area.
Shelties Mum..thanks for your comments. I'm sure Misty has no problem getting water at the moment (too much of it around here!) and yes, lots of bunnies around. She must be pretty adept at getting food for herself by now as she has survived so well.
Wondering if she is revisiting the gardens up in Pett village where she was seen a couple of times last year. She was sharing food put down for foxes by residents.

Just to say I drove down through Pett village this morning, parked up near to lifeboat at Pett Level... had a walk along the sea wall in front of the caravan park, only saw 1 car in there... walked through the footpath that leads from sea wall to toilets, checked in the ladies! Had some leaflets left from Broad Oak, so added on the top of them that a sighting on 2/3/14 near the toilets & have put through letterboxes on main road each way from the toilets. Had a lovely walk up Marsham Brook Lane, again leaflets put through the majority of homes up there. walked across the fields at the back, saw lambs[^] Went up to the WW2 bunker & lookout tower, brave enough to venture in lookout tower, but not the bunker.. had a good view of fields from up there, came back out by toilets again & back across footpath to sea wall.. Have put the last 2 bright posters I had up on Sea Wall either end of the caravan park, walked along to end of houses & down & back along main road to car, met a couple of dog walkers, both were already aware of misty, but I told them about the recent possible sighting .. Drove home via Fairlight, did have a quick detour down Waites Lane & Fairlight Country Park car park... so hoping there will be another sighting very soon x

2014-03-03 01:42 Bob

Thanks for all the kind comments, We are keeping all things crossed for a return home!
Bob and Rene xx

2014-03-02 22:40 DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent

Good to have another sighting. Yes the coat would be dark if a matted winter one. She must be going near the toilets for water? There are loads of rabbits these days bounding about so she could live off road kills etc. Fingers doubly crossed for an early reunion.

2014-03-02 22:17 Bob

Evening all, we went down to Pett Level had a wander ( well blow around ! ) the normal parts! the Loo's!! and round the sea front bit etc. There did not look like any one at the caravan site, other than the managers car. So that's more of a reason to think it could have been our Misty. Put up a couple of posters and spoke to a few Brave people walking their dogs. We will keep our fingers crossed!
Many thanks to all for your help and positive comments, Bob and Rene xx

2014-03-02 20:49 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Yes TK .. when we had a bbq and re-postered at Pett level we had a tel call to say she had bn in someone's garden playing with his boxer dog. The chap tried to coax her but she was having none of it (surprise, surprise!) Sadly the boxer has passed on so it's unlikely Misty will go there again. However, she is quite likely to visit the sheltie at the caravan site or the people that bred her. Hv asked Bob to check if the people are at the site this wkend .. hopefully he will hv an update for us soon.

Bob & Rene .. please let Misty's breeders know that she may be in the area. Chances are she could go and visit them again. It would be wonderful if they saw her and they managed to get her in their garden.

Can't wait for update xxxx

2014-03-02 17:12 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

So hope it is Misty..... Am I right in thinking, she was visiting some dog/someones garden down that way last year, maybe worth alerting those owners, so they can keep an eye out in case she visits again... fingers crossed x

Hi, Clarkey, It was today not long before I put the posting on there so I will let everyone know later on tonight when we get back. Many thanks to all,

2014-03-02 16:36 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Oh ..that's interesting. Wonder if it is the elusive Misty??? I would imagine her coat would have grown again for winter so it would probably be thicker than when she was last seen and it would also be hard to tell if it is matted or not. Glad you are going to have a look Bob.. would be good to see if the people at the caravan site are there this weekend. Did you ask which day and what time the sighting was? If they were not on site at that time then it's more likely to be her. Maybe leave a note at the caravan saying about the sighting if they are not there?? Let us iknow how you get on.

Hi to every one, I have just had a lady call me from Pett Level near the toilets, saying that she has just seen a dog that fits Misty's posters. I said there is one that lives on the caravan site which is a light brown and white one but she said that the one she saw was dark with a heavy coat. So we can only hope its Misty. We are going to nip down there in a little while and have a scout round and refresh some of the posters!
Once again many thanks to all of Misty's followers Bob and Rene xx

2014-03-01 08:09 Bob

Another week and Misty is on her winter form as all has been quirt! Lets hope this bit of sun gets her noticed!
Come on Misty Lets have a showing!! Thanks to all her watchers,
Bob and Rene xx

2014-02-21 02:34 Bob

Sorry to hear about Bertie,SpringerMad, and hope all goes well.Thanks Ali and all for comments and its always nice to here that some one has seen Misty and give us a clue to the next heading!
All the best Bob and Rene xx

2014-02-20 22:48 ALI

SpringerMad - sorry to read what you are going through and of course Bertie too - hope all went well with his op.......Hope Misty is keeping a low profile somewhere warm and dry(ish)- sensible lady but it would be good to have another sighting soon

Sorry to hear about Bertie hope all goes well with his op.As always we are waiting for the next sighting of Misty and hoping she is still ok out there in this awful weather.We had a drive around fairlight the other day but most of the posters seem to have disappeared I expect thats due to the weather,so we will have to go out postering again with some of the new bright ones that Bob has printed off,and yes TK if only we knew in which direction she is heading now.Thanks again for all your support Bob and Rene xx

2014-02-20 09:29 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, sorry not been around much to help out. Bertie is in the Royal Veterinary College in Hertfordshire, having had an op in the eye area. Possibly cancer, so I've been up and down there for the past week. Hope to catch up on the Misty hunt soon xxx

2014-02-19 22:16 Bob

That would be nice to get another one soon and get us back on track! Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

I still have a few leaflets & a couple of posters, so ok for now..... hoping for another sighting soon & then we will know which direction she is heading ..... x

2014-02-19 19:35 Bob

Hi to every one, and thanks for all your help and thanks to TK I have more posters but we have a bit of a time with a few problems of late ! If you want any more posters to carry TK just text or ring my mobile if you want. Cheers to all just got home and off to grab my dinner, back on Dog Lost a bit latter!
Bob and Rene xx

2014-02-19 18:31 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Just to say we went over to the Rainbow Trout pub today, The poster just inside Chitcombe Road as you come from the crossroads is still there, & the poster that Bob put up on the wooden stake is still there. Also the one on the recreation ground notice board is still there... The other 4 that I put on telegraph poles along Chitcombe Road have been taken down & sadly the one which I put up on the notice board in East car park of Brede High woods has also gone.. I didn't check the west car park one, but I guess that has probably gone too....Unfortunately I didn't have any posters with me, so couldn't replace the Brede High woods one..

2014-02-18 23:51 Bob

Thanks for your help on that TK. We will wait to hear the out come of the poor dog at Lewis.I would be very surprised if Misty would have moved out side her circuit as that would be out of any thing she has done in sixteen months? I have replaced a few posters that have given there best in the latest winds and storms, a couple in and around Doleham/Knights lane.We are just waiting for another sighting and keep on a positive note.
All the best for every ones help Bob and Rene xx

2014-02-18 16:58 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Just to say that I have just telephoned Lewes Dog Warden number & spoke to a chap in the office asking whether they know if the Sheltie found on river bank near lewes is male or female, he said they haven't collected the dog yet, he said they will try to retrieve it sometime in next couple of days & then they would scan for a chip... poor thing !

We went over to Tenterden today & as I still have a few of the bright laminated posters, I have put one up in Westfield, on main road opposite the butchers, one on a public footpath sign just inside pottery lane & one up on the notice board at the entrance to Brede village hall... x

2014-02-18 11:18 alikat

Well done TK, I've just seen the same thing and come here too. Of course we hope it's not Misty, but at least it would be closure.

2014-02-18 09:39 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Have just seen that Brighton Dogwatch have put on their fb page the body of a small Sheltie type dog has been found on the river bamk near lewes... I know it is a good few miles away, but felt I should post on here just incase... poor little dog whoever you are x

2014-02-16 14:53 Bob

Yes its a good idea, But last time they said they would do that it did not go in so I did an add for the three most local ones they charged us close on £600 ( so much for a free story !! ) But if any one wants to try, give it a go! I also sent an email to Arrow FM but never heard back but if any one knows any one? Feel free to try it!
We had a good night/morning Saturday in the early hours one of our over tall lylando trees blew down! taking out the phone line to us and the Brickworks,picked up our garden shed which has some of my pond pump filteration etc: in it, just about emptying it bar a little bit in the bottom! But at least the fish all survived! and they seemed very happy to see some more water! still not as bad as some of the west country,but still leaving plenty to sort out! Many thanks for all your help Bob and Rene xx

2014-02-16 11:15 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Would e lovely to have another sighting of Misty... Just a thought, do you think it is worth asking the Rye & Battle Observer to do a story on Misty...? just trying to think of ways we can increase the number of people who know about her, so that more people are keeping their eyes peeled for her, or maybe village parish newsletters? Just thoughts .. x

2014-02-16 11:10 Bob

Come on Misty lets have a show in the sun! Its a nice day to show yourself!
Lets have a bright start to the week !

Thanks for that comment Ellie, we hope that is the case and just keep wishing her home soon! Thanks to all Bob and Rene xx

2014-02-15 13:42 Ellie

The 'dog' floating in the pond could possibly have been a fox. There is a similarity in the colour and I have seen quite a few dead foxes as well as badgers over the last week.

2014-02-10 21:49 Bob

Hi every one,
Yep' we agree with you Ali, we will keep on looking and waiting for the next sighting and wish her back home as soon as possible and organise her home coming party!!
Cheers to all Bob and Rene xx

2014-02-10 19:43 ALI

oh what a mix of emotions for you both and all of team misty - shame we haven't got more concise information to go on.....still keeping everything crossed that this remarkable young lady is keeping warm and dry somewhere - as Clarkey says she is a survivor x

2014-02-09 11:09 Bob

Hi to All,
Just to say Rene took the call late Yesterday morning after being up most of the night.It was from a lady who rang Rene at home and it was some thing that another lady had told her about a day or so previous? so it was on home phone and had calls since so no trace back!
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2014-02-09 10:18 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi everyone. Hope you are better soon Rene. Great advice Springermad..thanks. My feelings are that Misty is a survivor, but you are right to check the info.. well done for going out Bob. Wondering if perhaps you could ask the lady who rang to actually show you which pond she meant..or if she sees it again maybe take a photo? Would be good to eliminate this report as we know Misty does not show herself much in this sort of weather.
Apologies for lack of posts recently..hv bn helping my son (who's in Washington DC)organize the return of his 2 adopted 'African street dogs' back to the UK. We had to go to Amsterdam to get them & back thru Calais. Thankfully all went well & we now hv 3 dogs at home .. gulp!
Great to see what excellent work you have all bn doing postering .. thanks.
If we make sure posters are up near everywhere Misty was seen at this time last year and also en route to Pett (perhaps including Udimore/U.Rd area as we're not sure which way she goes!) then we may even keep up/get ahead of her this time.
Fingers crossed for a sighting very soon.

Oh dear, was the lady more specific Bob about where in these woods she thinks she saw it? Have you still got her number on your phone? Maybe worth a call back to say you've had a look but as you say lots of ponds and could she tell you whereabouts? Would be worth checking it out, just to eliminate it from our search. Poor Rene, hope she feels better soon. xx

2014-02-08 22:24 Bob

Hi to every one, While I was out this morning Rene had a call which we were not sure if it was or was not, what had been said? But the person who rang Rene, said they had been told that a lady had seen what they thought might have been a dog floating in a pond.They said that it was down in Brede High wood going towards Goatham Lane.Rene was not in a well enough state to go out as she has come down with a nasty bug so she gave me a call to tell me what had been said. When I got home we thought one of us should at least go and check.I went up there and had about two and a half hours looking around the various ponds ( There are so many places that could be called a pond at the moment! ) But could not see anything that resembled an animal in any of the water that I could get to.It was one of those ( hi vis jacket,hood,boots and over trousers before starting!) Just as well as we had Rain wind and a load of hail enough to make the ground white in places and about a couple of inches on the bottom of the cars windscreen when I got back! Still at least we had a look and we await the next sighting even more now!
Once again we both like to thank every one for all news good or worrying !! Bob and Rene xx

2014-02-05 02:13 Bob

Just like to a Big Thanks to all of you for your help just waiting for the next showing O f our babe! But hearing all the wind and Rain at the moment We imagine that she is holed up somewhere ! and keeping her head down.
All the best Bob and Rene xx

2014-02-04 13:12 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Parked in Eastern car park to Brede High Woods this morning, had a lovely if not very muddy walk... Lots of cars in car park so woods are popular, so hopefully dog walkers will see the poster & keep their eyes peeled...
Then drove around back lanes, Goatham, Reservoir, Brede lane, If Misty is following the footpath where see was spotted south, then Maybe she is heading down through Brede to Westfield ...here's hoping we get another sighting soon .. x

2014-02-03 23:06 ALI

Good to hear there are lots of posters around - well done TK and springermad.......would really like to get up that way sometime but not sure when I will.......come on Misty we all want you home x

2014-02-03 13:51 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Went down to Hastings country park to search for Watty ( now found) and on the way back we stopped at Brede Woods. Plenty of posters up and around. Went into the Bakery at the crossroads (purely to give leaflets of course!!) and saw there were already a pile of flyers on the counter, so that was good to see. Nearly lost Bertie in Brede High Woods, he loved it! Will be back there for a longer walk this weeks.

2014-02-02 17:32 Bob

Hi to every one and a big thanks to TK for putting up posters and leafleting, You may as well hang on to the spare posters/leaflets for now as I have more posters and can and will do a few more leaflets tonight or tomorrow,once again thanks to all for the help Bob and Rene xx

Hi, Thank you Bob for leaving out the posters & leaflets..

We have put some of the brightly coloured posters up ~

In the car park of Brede High Woods Western entrance,
On notice board in car park of Brede High Woods Eastern entrance,
Chitcombe Road opp Reservoir Lane,
Chitcombe Road opp Goatham Lane,
Chitcombe Road by a bench,
Telegraph pole by Rainbow Trout Pub,
Just as you turn into Chitcombe Road by Crossroads,
& playing fields notice board across cross roads, heading towards Rye..

We have posted leaflets through all the properties along Chitcombe Road from the Cross Roads along to where your laminated poster is by where she was sighted on Thursday...
I have brought the rest home, but will get them back to you if you need them, or can hang onto them & use them for when we get the next sighting...
Am taking my westie for a haircut tomorrow, will leave a handful of the leaflets in the groomers if that OK...
The new bright posters really do stand out, hopefully now more people will be keeping a look out for her .. x

2014-02-01 22:42 Bob

Hi top every one, We are meant to take Mya ( the other Sheltie ) up to a show at Maidstone to show her to the breeder who is judging the show so If we are not here I will leave Leaflets and a few posters in a carrier bag in the car port on the log Pile. ( For TK ) many thanks for that! We put a dog Lost poster up on its own pole today, at the entrance to the wood where Bernie had seen her a couple of days ago. Its a Day Glo Green sign which you can see on the left just after Chitcombe and before Goatham lane on the left when you are travelling towards Chripps Corner.
All the Best Bop and Rene xx

If you are not going to be at home If you leave them in in porchway or somewhere dry, I can grab them from there .... Tracy x

Bob, I've just read everything. Wow, what an adventure your dog Misty must be having. I do hope you find him really soon.

2014-01-31 10:29 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I am wondering if bob could pinpoint the location where she was seen in the woodland. Would is be good to leave some food in the woods? I only have this morning that I could pop down and leave some but quite a large area so not sure where to go.

Sunday could be good. If only we could keep her there and set up some feeding station or something as this time last year after the sightings in that area it was almost 4 months before she popped up again on the beach. Would be great to catch her now!

2014-01-31 10:17 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

that sounds very hopeful news. Now it's a case of pinning her down to a spot. Maybe sitting it out in that are in a car could be useful? A stake out, or steak out if you run a BBQ. x

2014-01-30 19:32 Bob

Hi to every one, We had what we think is perhaps a good sighting by the guy who saw Misty last year at Ellenwhore Lane! He popped in at work today and said that he has seen what could well be Misty fairly dark and matted coat, which she must have by now. He has seen her at Broad oak along the Chitcombe road at the top of Chitcombe lane and across the road in the wooded part! We will up date as and when we have some more info! Fingers Crossed, Lets Hope ? Thank you to every one for all the continued support,
Bob and Rene xx

Hi to every one, It still remains one of those no news times ( a bit like last year! ) so come on Misty Girl! Give us a showing! We Thank you all for your support and help.
Bob And Rene xx

2014-01-16 07:55 Bob

Hi Ali and all, we have caught many dogs and returned them around where we work at Brede, But if there are more than one they are much harder to catch hold of, and the old pack idea comes to them. As to our babe ( Misty ) come on home or at least give us a showing. Many thanks to Every one Bob and Rene xx

she is certainly keeping a low profile at the moment - sensible lady in this weather. I was driving (as I do most days) down wheel lane from sedlescombe to westfeld and found an Alsatian walking in the road. So lucky I didn't hit him as that road can be really fast. Think he had escaped from a nearby house - I got out and gave him my apple he was friendly but when I looked at his collar he became aggressive and had Id not been wearing my works coat he would have gone through the skin. Understandably I got back in my car - he was then joined by a Labrador - both running loose in the road and barking at me so I called the police - didn't know what to do - concerned for the dogs safety and for anyone meeting them on foot. Would love it one day to be Misty - although not walking along the road - if your out there girl there will always be an apple or doggy treats for you to have to entice you home

2014-01-15 19:13 Bob

Ok We will have to get in touch, Thanks for that SpringerMad Many thanks To all for ongoing help Bob and Rene xx

2014-01-15 11:52 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all. Saw the flourescent poster this morning at butchers Lane crossroad. Very eyecatching. Will have to see if we can have a meet up shortly to get some more postering done. Expect lots have been destroyed in the recent rains. Hope all well with everyone in Team misty xx

2014-01-12 14:37 Bob

Hi TK thanks for that I can always run some more leaflets I prob: have quite a few around and I have done some day glow full sized laminated posters which I have to replace tatty ones! With the posters, its a job to know where to go? Many thanks Bob and Rene xx

2014-01-12 10:23 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Really hope there is a positive sighting of Misty again very soon, don't blame her for hiding away in this awful weather, but would be nice to have a sighting so we know which direction to keep looking in ... fingers crossed she shows herself soon, Just to say that if it felt that more leafleting would help raise awareness that Misty is still missing, I am more than happy to put leaflets through letterboxes if someone could print them for me ... The more people that are looking for her the better .. x

2014-01-12 01:03 Bob

Hi every one, It seems to be one of those winter times like last year when Misty goes to ground and keeps out of the way! Lets hope we have another sighting before too long and cheers us all up! Many Thanks for all that every one has done to find our little girl, Bob and Rene xx

2014-01-04 01:23 Bob

Hi Jayne,Thanks for you post, We will contact with any news, we must do another add, so will let you know when we have. Many thanks Bob and Rene xx

2014-01-03 16:32 Rene

Thanks Woo sips for the call, I have checked the found dog 62406 and it is not our Misty,she has been sighted and tracked recently quite close to home and she seems to have travelled to the same areas in the time she has been missing.I expect she is hiding up somewhere as the weather is so awful but hopefully she will show herself again soon.Thanks again to everyone for keeping a look out for her and hoping for a positive new year. Bob and Rene xx

2014-01-03 15:07 Woo sips

Have called and spoken with Bob. Asked him to check the rough collie listed 2nd jan in found section. Sorry if it's the wrong dog but thought its best to check. I hope you find your dog x

2013-12-29 02:46 Bob

OK for that Clarkey, we will give that a go plus I have spent some time today sorting out some more bright posters to replace some of the older ones plus it shows we are still on the case for Misty. Thanks to all for the help, Bob and Rene. xx

2013-12-28 17:38 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

That's good work with the posters Bob. I also think the local kennels, rescue centres, vets and dog wardens shld be contacted againwith a photo to let them know Misty is still missing, perhaps mentioning that she was seen very recently with matted coat ..it would be time well spent to remind them of yr girl. We are not giving up, no matter how elusive Misty is!

2013-12-28 01:12 Bob

Hi to every one, We got power back on last night ( Thursday 6pm ish ) Thanks for the Annah's story Clarkey, I replaced a few of the older posters with some brighter background colours to show that we are still looking for (Misty) and going to do some more as I am off for a few days.
Many thanks for help, from all of you and wish every one a Happy Christmas and new Year. Bob and Rene xx

2013-12-27 15:52 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Bob and Rene, I hope you will have your power back soon. When you do, have a look at sheltie Annah's story in reunited. Seems she was stolen on May 10th this year from her kennel in Scotland and was found in the pound in Kent. So it goes to show that we should check every single sheltie that turns up anywhere. Having said that, I sincerely hope she stays in her 'triangle/circle' that she has been doing over the last year! As usual it's gone quiet again re sightings but that doesn't mean she's not close to home .. just that she is sensible enough to stay out of this foul weather. So come on Misty, please show yourself again.

2013-12-25 16:08 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Wishing you a Happy Christmas .. sorry to hear you are without power, hope it gets fixed very soon .... so hope we have another sighting of Misty very soon, or even better, she finds her way back through that cat flap .... come on Misty xx

2013-12-25 13:00 Bob

Happy Christmas to all Mistys Helpers and all you have done to help us. Well Young Misty the side gate is open and the cat flaps still open and there is many treats for you! ( I am not sure if she reads the posts or not! ) We are just waiting for her next seen movement. Its all a bit strange here at home with no power since Monday at 6-10pm We have rigged a genny up which does some of the things like lights etc: but not the hot water or the KETTLE which is a pain as I do tend to have the odd cupper! now its a microwave cup of water and a tea bag jobby! and there is no gas where live.
Rene and I wish all of you a happy Christmas and New Year xx
PS and the Safe Return of "Misty"

Hi to every one, And I agree that it does seem to be one of those times when our little lady goes all quirt on us just when you think she is near! I am sorry that we seem to have a never ending run of things we have to do and work has got very busy. I hope that I have got Misty in the Friday Add this week I will let admin Know when I have it confirmed. All the best to every one and thanks for all the help, cheers Bob and Rene xx
PS I will try to grab a couple of those BBQ/S

2013-12-17 11:15 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, Bob if you are happy to use your own bbq when at home that is great. The disposible ones are for when we get a sighting and need to hang around in that area for a while (to keep her there) so always handy to have in, especially as we probbaly won't be able to buy them readily in the winter. All a bit quiet again at the moment, hope she is still being kept in the area due to the scenting etc. Need to keep her close and get that sighting so we can all see her home asap x

2013-12-13 00:30 Bob

Hi every one,
Thanks for All The Encouragement,thanks to SpringerMad,Ali,TK for the comments. I have done another trail ( so to speak! ) and will try to do a bit more! over the weekend. Its been a bit of a !!??:~ week or so for us in a few respects but hope to give Misty a bit more time at the week end, With the BBQS Does Dog Lost prefer the small barby's as they light and run at ground level? they just seem to take a long time to light and dont give much heat? where as our one lights fine and burns for a long time.Please let us know as we are happy to buy some if every one thinks they are better for sent etc: On a Brighter Note!! we have put up a few Chrissy Lights up to show Misty the way back and the side gate is fixed just open for Misty's return through our Back Flap! Pardon the Pun! From that flap she can come into the garage no doubt find some of the dog and bird food or even come through the next flap into the back room if she feels the need.Hears a waiting with all and sundry crossed! ? Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

2013-12-10 21:03 ALI

they had some of the bbq's in Lidl today - could try and pick a couple up sometime if it helps

2013-12-10 11:23 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Bob are you still scenting and having bbq'a? Did you manage to grab any of those ones in Lidl? We really need to keep her in the area at the moment and hopefully get another sighting.

Good Evening / Morning Every one, It seems that we are having a few days of no show just when you think there is hope that Misty is getting close to home! Lets hope that putting a few words down saying no show she proves us wrong and pops up again! some where close. Many thanks for all the helpers Bob and Rene. xx

2013-12-06 19:41 Rene

Hi all, sorry to say no more news to tell on Misty we are not sure where to start searching as we dont know in which direction she went.I am still walking Lucy and Mya our other dogs up the lane to Maxfield Farm and back every day just in case she comes back this way towards home.Everything crossed for another sighting soon x

2013-12-04 20:54 Rene

Just heard that Clarkey has spoken to the people at Oak Pond Kennels and they are going to keep a look out for Misty,and yes those big words IF ONLY we knew in which direction she is travelling in!!! It could be back to Pett and Fairlight or the other direction towards Broad Oak or Westfield to where she has been before,so frustrating that she is so near to home yet we cannot find her.Clarkey has suggested still scenting down our lane but not at Icklesham as the sighting was too close to the main road which is very busy and she would have to cross it.Yes Springermad lets hope that she is picking up the scent and finds her way home,must be bbq time again but think we are sticking to ours and not the instant ones(dont know why?) Thanks again to everyone Bob and Renexx.P.S hope you had a good day christmas shopping Springermad!!!!

2013-12-04 19:08 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Just wondering if anyone has spoke to the owners of oakpond kennels ?
As so close to where Misty was sighted, was the lady who spotted her going to speak to them?
If only we knew which way she went..... x

2013-12-04 19:06 ALI

link re-shared on facebook

2013-12-04 17:02 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Meant to add, that she has been in the area local to home for some time now, and wondering if she is picking up the scent and things are becoming familiar?

2013-12-04 17:01 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Forgot to ask Bob, did you manage to grab any of those BBQ's at the weekend?

We need to keep Misty in the area and just wondering if you've done any more at home and any more scenting? xx

2013-12-04 15:27 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi Rene, just back home from xmas shopping. Great that the lady feels it was Misty. I think the layby you are talking about is the exact layby we parked in and walked the footpath and fields on that side of the road. There was already a poster in that layby but stupidly I left my extra posters and pins in the car and there were some little gates on the footpaths which would have been ideal for posters. Will try to get down there again and put some up. x

2013-12-04 11:17 Rene

Goodmorning all Mistys followers,I have had a call from the person who sighted her yesterday morning at about 8.40 at Icklesham who was positive it was Misty but her coat was in a terrible mess.This is understandable as she has been missing for so long and shelties need grooming at least once a week. She saw her scavenging for food in the layby which is just past the 40 limit as you come out of Icklesham, but by the time she had turned her car around to go and look Misty had disappeared. The layby is just passed the entrance to Place House,I drove around and down to the house but didnt get any reply.There are still posters up in Icklesham and lots of people know Misty is still missing as our son and daughter-in-law live there.Poster power does work as Clarkey keeps telling us as the person saw the poster and rung us, she has also put our numbers on her phone in case she sees her again.Come on Misty time to come home xx

2013-12-04 02:50 Bob

Just say thanks to all today for your on going help, as far as I can say the sighting was by the large lay by going to Guestling Thorne From the Gate to Oak Pond Kennels. We just keep all things Crossed!
Thanks for all the Help Bob and Rene xx

2013-12-03 19:28 Silver 2

Dear All am praying this girl will be home soon it would be the best Christmas present. Everything crossed for you xx

2013-12-03 15:04 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

It is Bob who is supposed to be doing the scenting ya know!!

2013-12-03 15:00 ALI

Good to meet you both this morning - lovely walk with our dogs - shame we didn't spot the lovely Misty but hope for news soon. Drove back through three oaks but couldn't stop as would have needed to find another bush for a toilet stop!! - the joys of getting old!!

2013-12-03 13:27 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Afternoon all, Just back from a couple of hours at Icklesham with TK and Ali. The details of the possible sighting remain sketchy but appear to be somewhere between Broad Street and Guestling Thorn. So we have followed various paths and fields in that area today. Nothing to report i'm afraid, but hopefully someone will spot her again soon and we can get back down there.

This is not far at all from the sightings over the last couple of weeks. Will update later. x

Hi to SpringerMad,TK,Ali and all, We have wandered Lucy up the lane and done the Saturday night out on the .... scent trail! and side gate open for a misty walk in the rear/side cat flap which she always used and keeping all crossed and wishing her to just wander in! Many thanks to all for their help,Bob and Rene xx

2013-12-01 20:05 ALI

Yes springermad - 'orrible time - 30 degrees - white sand beaches - clear blue water - rum punch flowing - you would hate it ha ha!! Unfortunatly have to go back to work wednesday but may try and pop out there on tuesday if anyone is around - she is so close to being re-united......yes Bob remember the bbq in Ellenwhorne Lane woods - we forgot a knife but I won't forget Bob separating raw sausages by having to bite them with his teeth - hilarious !

2013-12-01 19:25 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

That would be nice, Wed is good for me...? So hope Misty is still in the area ...x

2013-12-01 18:30 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi Ali, welcome back!! We have missed you and hope you had a rotten time haha. Must catch up, if you are free for a stroll this week along the latest sighting area, would be great for us to go together? Tk, you too? Anyway have a nice evening. x

2013-11-30 13:30 ALI

Just logged on and quickly scanned last few posts. Am leaving Caribbean today and looking forward to catching up with team Misty soon - been great to hear all the positive posts. Hope to catch up soon and I can show you my tan!!!

2013-11-29 22:17 Bob

Evening To All,
I will grab a few bbq's tomorrow if there is any? But SpringerMad will they be better than the one we had up at ellenwore lane?? !! There is still our old std one, do you remember that cold damp old night and trying to find the way out of the woods! At least we are not far from home. all the best Bob and Rene xx

2013-11-29 13:52 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Afternoon all, meant to add this yesterday, but Clarkey said they are doing disposible bbq'a at Lidl this week for 99 pence each! I can't get down there (Hastings) as I am working the weekend, but if anyone is passing it may be good to get a few if our Misty is close to home and bbq's are rare to get hold of during winter. Have a good weekend everyone, will be checking on here for any updates xx

2013-11-28 01:41 Bob

Thanks for that TK and thanks to all of you for all the continued help,Rene is going to walk Lucy up and down from the farm foot path to home and back to try to leave a scent to home to the side gate which is now ajar for Mist to be able to come through the cat flap if she feels ok to do just that! ( We can just HOPE ! )
Many Thanks Bob and Rene.xx

2013-11-27 14:22 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

We have just got back, we walked down through little maxted farm, through a couple of fields & over the railway bridge, put a poster up each side of the railway bridge, then we did a right turn & headed a short way along the 1066 walk. We put a poster up on the 1066 walk signpost at the bottom of the track by an old barn that is being converted. Then walked back up again..... On way home we put a poster up at the start of the public footpath, just down from the village hall on the opposite side of the road, as this leads down by the lakes, the other side of the railway line...... really hope the scenting works & Misty finds her way home very soon .. x

2013-11-26 19:13 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi, was lovely to meet you the other evening..Am so pleased that it appears that Misty is in the area, seems the ideal chance to get her back home, you will have to keep the bbq's going & hopefully they will entice her along the lane ... If I can help in anyway please say .... xx

2013-11-26 18:55 Clare

Fingers crossed tightly for you Come on Misty time to go home x

2013-11-26 18:12 Rene

Hi Lesley, Springermad and all Mistys followers as far as i am aware the railway bridge she was tracked yesterday is along the public footpath which runs through Little Maxfield Farm across a couple of fields and then crosses the railway line near a lake.Bob and I have walked that footpath on a couple of occasions but not recently but will have to try and put some posters up along the footpath as I believe it is walked quite often and hopefully someone may have spotted her.I walked our other dogs up to the farm and back this afternoon as suggested and Bob will be scenting again later!!! Just hope she stays in the area and maybe find her way back home.Bob and Renexx

2013-11-26 16:43 Lesley

Brilliant news that our sightings were positive. Please Misty stay in the area, this is your chance to get home. Didn't see anything this morning but will look tonight when coming home from dog class. Have posted on facebook. Would be good to know which railway bridge so we have a direction.
Fingers crossed for a safe return soon xx

2013-11-26 09:27 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

morning all, great to hear about the confirmed tracking. Clarkey did say Tiga tracked Misty along that footpath to the railway bridge. Do you know if she means the Threee Oaks bridge or the Doleham Lane bridge? I had a look this morning but can divert the school run if it is the doleham lane bridge?

Lovely to know that Misty is a stone's throw from home. Fingers crossed this time she stays in the area until she is safely home with you.

Good morning to every one, Just a quick update from yesterdays tracking to see if Misty was the dog seen in the lane close to the Doone. On first checks in the field on the other side there did not seem any great sent,how ever walking back along Fourteen acre Lane close to the Doone the sent was picked up and took them back to the foot parth going through Little Maxted Farm. We are to walk our other dog between home and the track and do some senting. W will keep you posted on up dates! Bob and Rene xx
PS sorry for the short note! all Behind this morning!

2013-11-25 13:45 Bob

Thanks for your comment Owl, getting to know how the tracking is done ( for us normally a day or so later ! ) It at least gives us some hope that all is as well as can be with ( In our Case Misty ) and when
WE! did Not loose her, The tracking gives us and any one like us a little more hope! I sometimes think that not every one is aware of that.If we had lost her at least we could have gone searching from where she went at the time and she would always come back to us and only go to a distance from any one else! She always was wary of even family who did not live at home now, she would come to them ( Indoors ) after fifteen or twenty mins: ) once again we thank every one for all the great help and thanks Owl for pointing that out as there seems to various versions of how some people view this area!
All The Best Bob and Renexx

Please can I politely point out that a tracker dog has been assisting with the Misty search on and off for the past year, and has made a very useful contribution to the search. I also have a tracker dog and have had a sheltie in the past so know how easily they get spooked. When we track a dog on the run, it is a detailed and thoughtful assessment of where the dog has been, not a mad pursuit. No scary baying hounds are involved! We are collecting info and mapping the dog's routes to help the owner to catch him/her.

Evening everybody,thanks to all who came to our bbq this afternoon sorry Bob couldnt be there as hes still working on my car. No sighting of Misty but all the lovely smells brought our friendly fox out for his cooked supper. Hoping we get another sighting in the same area soon or maybe as Lesley says she finds her way back home. Thanks again Bob and Rene xx

Sorry not to join you this afternoon, we were otherwise busy.

Keeping everything crossed that she makes her way up the field passing our house and onto home, she is very welcome to pop in and bark hello before going home xx

2013-11-24 12:18 DogLostMe N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer

Would you consider using Bach Homeopathic Rescue Remedy on any food you put down? I've used it on 2 rescue dobies and cured my retd. greyhound of firework phobia using it. You can't overdose on it and it has a calming effect. There is a pet variety now but I have only used the human version. It's been around since the 1930's. I use 3 drops on food and 3 drops in water and you can add it as often as you like to food. It was used on Cindy the greyhound that was missing for 23 days and was refusing to be caught. It doesn't cause drowsiness just relaxes the dog and my dobies that used to do agility dog displays but were scared of gunfire used to do a display after being dosed. You can get it from most chemists for about £7 a bottle. Just an idea, hope you get the little girl back soon.

2013-11-24 10:11 Rene

Morning Springermad,just had a call from Clarkey, was talking about having a bbq this afternoon about 4.30. Bob may not be about as my car developed a problem this week and he has had to go to work this weekend to repair it but hopes to be back in time. He will leave bbq etc outside house but I should be about. Thanks TK for your offer hopefully we will have the sighting confirmed tomorrow and then decide from there the way forward,any queries phone or text Bob on his mobile 07774949294. We so hope this is little Misty how wonderful it would be to have her home for christmas and thanks again everyone for all your help and support xx

2013-11-24 09:53 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

So glad bbq being arranged, and a trap..... if any help is needed am more than happy to help, my number is 07929648556 ... good luck x

2013-11-24 09:48 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

...oops! ... getting the trap are in hand. Bob has laid scent trail so hope that is enough to keep Misty in area.

2013-11-24 09:46 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks for yr txt ..am posting fm mobile. Brilliant news Lesley ..thanks. spk to Bob it seems he has to be out all day and cannot do the barbecue himself so springerma and I have offered to do the barbecue. nothing fancy just sausages and smelly food.eed to get Misty comi.g to food regularly and then get trap so we cn catch her without scaring her off. Think it is important NOT to call her if she is seen as she will just run. She is so close we do not want to scare her off. Think it is a case of softly softly catchy Misty. Arrangements for getting a trap are in

2013-11-24 09:02 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, brilliant news on another sighting Lesley. Are bob and rene aware of this latest one? I've text Clarkey to let her know as I know her computer access is hit and miss at the moment.

2013-11-24 08:59 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

The sightings are so reassuring . That Misty is staying in the area for the time being ...lets hope the scenting will entice her Would a trap being placed in the field by the hedge, where she has been seen going in and out work, if it had bedding & food in it ? I am wiling to help man it if it was thought this was the right way to go ..? So want to see her safe .. x

2013-11-24 08:16 Victoria Bartholomew

Ive been following this for a year now, please dont give up on misty, she is so close to home, keeping everything crossed for you.xx

2013-11-24 07:14 Lesley

Good morning team Misty.
Derek went out about 5.30 yesterday evening and just past The Doone he is certain he saw Misty going through the hedge back into the field again, although at a distance, it was the light colour of the coat and size that meant it wasn't a fox or a cat.
I don't think we can do more to encourage her home and it isn't very far now.
Fingers crossed xx

2013-11-24 03:03 Bob

Hi every one, I did the wander from home from our garden leaving a trail of dog food and senting all the way to the field over the the road from the Doone and just beyond then round a loop and back to the trail near the gate on the right of way that was about eight thirty.On the way back there was some eyes looking up from the wood at the bottom of that field that kept watching mos of the final loop of the trail even I whistled and called Misty! so its wait and see? and hope!! fingers crossed, Many thanks for all the help Bob and Rene xx

2013-11-23 16:49 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi everyone. Bbq is good and may well enciurage Misty to go the last few hundred yards home. Lots of smelly sausages or bacon ..smell shld drift well in this weather. If anyone can print postersand put them through letter boxes it would be a great help to let locals know she is still missing. Think the houses along Maxfield lane and Morgay Wood lane (off Butchers lane) wld be good as not sure they wld hv had them before and that area backs on to places Misty cld be. Butchers Lane houses shld hv had them already . Thanks. Keeping everything crossed the little Misty will stick around and smells Bob's bbq!

2013-11-23 15:21 Clare

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Bob & Rene. Good luck to you and all your lovely helpers. So hope you get your beautiful girl back soon x

2013-11-23 01:55 Bob

Hi to all the helpers, Many thanks for all the help and advise,we will do as instructed and leave a trail plus the odd piece of food but not too much! and as to BBQ it would be and after lunch Sunday job,if that is of interest and put on here at Sunday lunch time. I have had a long day today and have another tomorrow so will get back on tomorrow pm,ish Thank you all for your help, Lets hope we can get Misty Home this weekend Bob and Rene xx

2013-11-22 22:48 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Seems Misty is so close, if you need help with anything, I am free Sunday....A bbq & a trap sound like a good idea, really hope she is still staying in that area & not just passing through, would be idea time to be able to get her, being so close to home..... come on Misty x

2013-11-22 19:16 DogLostSherlock Bones Police Liaison Co-ordinator

I have to agree with Shelties Mum. I think tracking a dog this scared could be the worst thing you could do. A BBQ and scenting and a trap would be more likely to succeed and even more importantly, keep Misty safe.

2013-11-22 19:09 DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent

I have had Shelties all my life and that's quite a long one and tracking one is not something I would do. The dog will just go further away from you. It's a super sensitive, spooky breed and Misty will likely be feral by now. She's had to survive. Were it me I would take a duvet and sit it out near some food left adjacent to the last sighting. Only the softly, softly approach works with this breed.

2013-11-22 18:41 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks for posting again Lesley. That's even more encouraging!
Springermad .. what can I say!! Not a lot for once!!! Was good to chat this evening.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Great news that Tiga can bring his mum to go tracking on Monday! Looking forward to it.
Aussie: Many, many thanks for all your help.
Bob and Rene .. hope you will be around to follow Jenny's suggestions re food etc. We will all be keeping everything crossed that Misty stays in the area. Hopefully the scent of yo, Lucy (and yes..your urine!!) will keep her close to home.
COME ON MISTY .. your lovely warm cosy home and family are waiting for you. Time to come in from the cold.

2013-11-22 16:47 Lesley

That's great news Jenny and Tiga can come to track.
The more we look at her photo the nore we are convinced it was her. Let us hope she is sstill here and we get another sighting in the field or somewhere in the lane. I reckon if there is food out for the foxes at The Doone she was having supper as that is where she appeared from.
Keep looking everyone this is the best chance for a long time.
Come on Misty nearly there, a warm bed and lots of love are waiting for you x

2013-11-22 07:57 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Or do you put it in a receptacle first? You could get arrested! Will have a look about this morning on the school run x

2013-11-22 07:56 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Cracking up laughing at bob leaving a trail of urine from the Doone to his house. Hope you drink about ten litres of water first, it's quite a distance haha. x

2013-11-22 07:54 Aussie

I live at The Doone, we haven't seen anything of Misty but will keep our eyes open. We feed our foxes out the front of the house every night so will keep a good watch and see if she comes for food.

2013-11-22 07:50 Jenny & Tiga k9tracker

Not in Isle of Wight yet - was going on Monday to track another dog but I will postpone that and bring Tiga down to track Misty. I am away working this weekend so cannot do anything until Monday. I would suggest the only food that is put out is only put out by Bob & Rene and on a trail back home and at home but only when they are about. Shelties can survive without food but are then drawn out by food, so if she gets enough food she can go and hide again and move off and we now need to keep her close to home. If anyone sees her please do not try to catch her call Bob or Rene immediately while watching which way she goes.

2013-11-22 02:57 Bob

HI to everyone, thanks to Lesley,SpringerMad,TK,Clarkey, and co. we will do as You have sujested Clarkey, and just to say that friom the gate that is mentioned just towards home you can walk along the field keeping above the lane side of the wood and come up just above that side of the Brick Works along in front of our place and back into the lane although that is not a walk way we walk it if its not too wet! Most of that ground is Brickworks for clay and the ponds mentioned are where the clay has been dug out. ( Very Deep and Sticky in places! Be careful! ) once again we thank everyone for all the help and request that Misty Comes home!
Many Thanks Bob and Rene xx

Shared again on FB....

2013-11-21 22:47 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Team Misty!!
Thanks for your help Springermad and TK.
Hoping this is really Misty (thanks Lesley!).. she has, we think, done this before (last year) and I have suggested to Bob that he lays a urine trail from the point she was seen to his house. There was also a sighting of her at that time at a property near 18 Pounder wood so I hv suggested Bob and Rene go to see them to ask if they would keep an eye open for her in case she goes to visit them again.
I am bumping the page for the new sighting.
If everyone who is on Facebook could share her link saying she has bn seen again I would be most grateful.
JB is away in Isle of Wight at the mo and is not available this weekend but I will ask her if she is able to come and confirm the sighting.
Come on Misty - stay in the area and make your way home please girlie!!

Thanks TK, yes that is exactly where I was at that gate, but didn't like to enter the field incase it was private land and I got shot!!

I know for next time. You've saved me searching for my OS map. I do have one and was having a think about where it could be on my way home.

2013-11-21 10:27 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Looking at my OS map there is a footpath, it comes out down the drive of Little Maxfield Farm & continues across the road & through a gate, which sounds like the gate that you were looking over..? the footpath leads through the fields & comes out on the corner of the A259 where it bends round sharply to the right & where North lane goes off to the left...

2013-11-21 09:39 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Just been down and located 'The Doone'. Drove up as far as the brickworks looking into the hedges and fields. Turned round and pulled over at the entrance to the farm where they sell free range eggs. I am not 100% sure which side of the road you are saying Misty went into but presume it is the other side to the Doone. There was a gate to the field where I got out and spent time looking across (where the lake thingy is) that backs onto the woodland. Stood for about 10 mins to see if anythng was moving around. Noticed posters along the lane so didn't need to put any more up there.Just wanted to check I was looking in the right direction? Do you know who owns that land, is there a footpath through it?

2013-11-21 07:28 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Will be having a good look this morning. It would tie in with the last sighting at Icklesham if she is doing the same as last year. x

2013-11-20 21:55 Bob

Hi, Thanks for Lesley for calling in last night to tell about possible sighting of Misty. We togged up and when along Fourteen Acre lane up to where Lesley had the sighting, when we drove up there we saw a Fox go bounding through the hedge in that area. We went throug the gate just along from there and walked back along the hedge to about in line with the house Called The Doone,then went away from the hedge heading towards the A259, shining the torch from left to right searching for any small animals wandering. We had a sighting of some eyes a good forty to fifty yards away that seem to watch for a while then go and come back a few times while we moving closer to where they were, and then gone and not seen again! we walked lucy with us as that is the dog that played with Misty and as Misty has followed quite a few people walking dogs I/we wonder if she follows to be able to find a familiar sent? Well thanks for all the help and lets hope that is the start of a few more sightings and having her back home for Christmas? !! All the best to everyone Bob and Rene xx

2013-11-20 18:08 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh so hope it is Misty .......if Jenny & Tiga could get over it would be great, will keep everything crossed it is her & she finds her way home very soon .... x

2013-11-20 11:34 Lesley

Hi Springer mad. When I saw her early it was 5.15 in the morning. We will all keep looking and really hope she is finding her way home. I think Bob and Rene will put out food and some clothing with their scent. Maybe Jenny will come with Tiga and do some tracking at the weekend.
Come on Misty if it is you, you are nearly home x

2013-11-20 10:44 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

oh i wish I had read this first thing this morning as I always go that way to school. Do you think early morning and when it gets dark would be the best time for me to go looking? Should bob put some food out there? And outisde your house incase she is that close to home.

2013-11-20 07:47 Lesley

On our way home from dog training yesterday evening. Into Fourteen Acre Lane, just a short way by, 'The Doone' an animal crossed the road in front of us, seemed to be hopping and bouncing. Definitely not a fox and wrong colour too, much too big for a cat, and in the headlights, Misty colour , right size as well. We went straight to Bob and Rene to report the sighting.
Off they went with torches down into the field. Bob came back to us and said he had seen a fox crossing the lane and eyes were picked out by the light of the torch, could be Misty or not who knows. A more intensive search is required as from there it leads to a woodland where she could be hiding out.
This time last year , I am certain Misty crossed the road in front of me early one Tuesday morning. Is she back again, please let us hope so and she can be reunited with Bob, Rene and the rest of the family x

2013-11-14 23:29 Bob

Hi, If you bring Misty home We will buy you a new pack of drawing Pins for each of you!
And ? When you throw them at us we will ! ?
Have a party and see what we can do to help Dog Lost help others.
So All we have to do is bring that elusive Misty home First ! That's All
Simple ! ( That's what the mere cats say !!! ? )
Lets hope to hear of a few sightings Cheers to every one and thanks for all the help and encouragement Bob and Rene xx

2013-11-14 20:53 ALI

eerrmm I did not nick the drawing pins SpringerMad gave them to me - just hope the ones you bought are better than the ones I nicked oops I mean the ones you GAVE me. I expect Misty is curled up somewhere dry and warm totally oblivious to all our efforts - you have a good team trying to get you home Misty - just one sighting is all we need xx

Hi thanks for your comment SpringerMad, its nice to get some encouragement from all on here, it seems to make all a bit brighter when not much is heard! Thanks to all, Bob and Rene xx
PS It looks like the next add will be next weeks Friday Add.

2013-11-13 09:43 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, we are as positive as we always have been that Misty is safe and well out there. I am SURE we will get word of another sighting before too long. Have bought more drawing pins (as ALI nicked mine!) and have posters and flyers in the seat pocket of my car at all times. Probably time I had another drive around to replace weathered posters and keep the word out there. Keep strong xx

2013-11-13 08:23 Bob

Well after what seems to be a long time without any news, lets hope that the next few days of what looks to be much brighter weather etc: Come on Misty lets have some SHOW TIME !! We just hope to have a ray of sunshine to brighten ours, and all the wonderful followers and helpers here on dog lost. I am trying to set up another add which will most likely to be in next week's Friday Add but might just make this week? any way must get off to work now! We thank every one for all the continued help which keeps us on a positive frame of mind!
Many Thanks Bob and Renexx

2013-11-07 02:10 Bob

PS I forgot to say that TK has put on there about the foot paths which she has done right from the start! We some times wonder that when she follows other people with dogs is she looking for Lucy our other dog that she played with up until she slipped her collar when we was away?

2013-11-07 02:04 Bob

Hi, Thanks for all the comments, it helps us to keep on going when all is quirt, Thanks to Clare for the offer but I only do the one that Clarkey asks me to now ! else she tells me off ! no only joking as she is right as the fact that the ones we did at the start only had my number and what Clarkey pointed out was that if people had seen the poster and did not have my number they can look on dog lost and ring them or find my number.How ever I have been wondering if I should do some Dog lost posters with a bright day glow lime or orange border with the wording like ( Misty Is Still out there! Please Call If seen! ) We are open to any surgestions that may help to get noticed. We Thank you all for all the continued help from all at Dog Lost and all the many followers, Many Thanks Bob and Rene xxx

2013-11-07 01:08 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi, I plotted Misty's sightings on my old ordanance survey map a few weeks ago after bob listed them on the page.... is quite interesting to see all the public footpaths & is interesting that the sightings seem to follow some of these footpaths...When we get the next sighting it may be possible to determine where she is heading by looking at where the nearby footpaths lead ~ just a thought?
If you decide on leaflets, I would be more than happy to help deliver some.... maybe target local businesses too, like pubs, village shops, postmen, village halls...?
fingers crossed she shows herself soon..... x

2013-11-06 23:24 Clare

Hi Clarkey sorry probably didnt make myself clear. I meant a smaller version of the doglost poster maybe 4 per page. Just an idea anyway but if you can do it even better. I wouldnt want to take the Doglost details off You all do such a great job x

2013-11-06 21:55 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

See you've bn busy Springermad! Many thanks, great job! I suggested to Bob and Rene some time ago to do mapping..marking all sightings on a map so we know what area the elusive Misty stays within. One more to add is the one when she was seen (by chap I spk to during Pattie search) in Fairlight village before the Ore sighting on 17th Aug)
>> Clare: great suggestion..posters in letterboxes are always a good idea, that way they are to hand if the householders get a glimpse of Misty.
However, I would ask (again! sorry Bob!) that we stick to Doglost posters PLEASE .. often when there's a sighting people will go home but will not hv made a note of the tel number on a 'designed' poster, but they WILL remember it was a Doglost one and be able to look for Misty's details on our site. We have changed the photo recently so everyone who sees it knows Misty is still missing. Probably best to reduce posters to A5 size for 'house posting' as they are easier to post and cheaper to print. I can do some of these if needed.
>> As for there being no sightings recently, to be honest I think Misty is doing her usual thing .. staying out of this foul weather we are having! I am absolutely sure she will be in the same triangle/circuit that she has established and that there will be a sighting when we least expect it.
When this (or any other ads go out) I can bump the page to the top again. So let's hope for some drier weather and a new sighting of Misty!
Lastly .. thanks to everyone who is still helping search for Misty. I know it means a lot to Bob and Rene. (My apologies for lack of posts but still hv no computer..hoping Father Christmas will hv something in his sack for me!)

2013-11-06 10:08 Clare

Hi Bob and Rene I was thinking would it be worth doing a leaflet drop to all the houses around the sighted areas. I think theyre pretty cheap to print these days maybe 1000 just to jog peoples memories. My husband is a graphic artist(he made the Justice for Jim poster) and would be happy to design a proper poster for you if you wanted. I dont know your area at all so sorry if its a stupid idea but may be worth a go as some people only drive so wont have seen your posters and may not read the local paper or be online. You sound like you have some great helpers so maybe they could help deliver these while Misty is hiding away x

Hi,yes that is just magic! have you worked out where she is now ? do you reckon she is playing games with us? and just giving us a quick sniff or two every now and again to keep us on the hook?
Lets hope that its enough to get a quick sighting of our little lady and catch up with her. Come on home we miss you so much. Once again many thanks to all for helping to keep us on track and keeping the search going forward. We need the help to keep our minds in the right mode! Thanks to all Bob and Rene xxxx

2013-11-05 22:08 ALI

Wow Detective SpringerMad I am very impressed.....good to see it all logged below - one sighting/phone call is all we are waiting for Misty so please show yourself to us. If only she knew all the efforts team Misty are doing to get her home with Bob and Rene.

2013-11-05 10:11 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, right I have been all the way back through the posts to get a picture of what Misty does.

September 2012 - Missing from Rock Lane, Ore.

6th October 2012 - Sighting at Fairlight.

End October 2012 - Sighting at Icklesham.

November 2012 - Sighting at Brede.

November 2012 - Sighting at Westfield/Three Oaks.

December/Jan 2013 - Sighting at BroadOak.

Jan 2013 - Sighting at Ripley's Yard, Westfield.

Jan 2013 - Sighting at Broad Oak/Brede Stubbs Lane

Feb 2013 - Sighting at Chitcombe Road Ellenwhore Lane.

23 July 2013 - Sighting at Pett Level toilets with further sightings in area.

29th July 2013 - BBQ at Pett Level beach which brough phonecall of sightings of Misty on the seafront several times in early summer.

17th August 2013 - Sighting on road from Ore to Fairlight going into coppice near Fairstone Close

3rd September 2013 - Icklesham playing field/Park.

Now, putting my Detective SpringerMad hat on, I think she has done a complete circle and if she is on her way round again, then she would be inland toward Brede/Westfield/Broad Oak area.

Of course I may be wrong!

Chin up people, we have been a few months without a sighting in the past so we have no reason to think she is not out there minding her own business!

Come on Misty, Lets have some more sightings! show yourself again and give us some where to go looking! It seems to be another one of those dreaded Nothing times again at the moment?
Many thanks to all for your help, Fingers crossed Bob and Rene xx

2013-10-29 07:10 Bob

Morning to all, Just to say that it has been quirt on the Misty front! She must think that she had too much media cover for a few weeks! But we would like to here of any sightings if and when she shows herself! So we will just hope to here from one of the many spotters? All the best to all you wonderful watchers, Many Thanks
Bob and Rene xx

2013-10-24 17:21 Rene

Just seen your comment Shelties Mum and as to your question as to whether she has been spayed the answer is that she has`t and she will be due another season next month,she might then show herself again!It is a possibility that she could have pups but we are not sure how she would cope with them out there as she has never had a litter before so that is quite worrying for us but we have to keep positive as she seems to have been coping ok so far.Just hoping for the next sighting so that maybe we could get her back home with us before the winter sets in.Thanks for all your comments Bob and Renexx

2013-10-23 22:42 DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent

That's a very typical Sheltie trait lacking trust with strangers. They just edge away then stop and look back at you then a bit further until they start running. Always flight not fight with Shelties. Slipping the collar too is common as the fur is deceptive when tightening the collar. You really have to go to finger size underneath the collar and no slacker. I'm praying she shows herself again soon. They are resourceful.Is she spayed? If not just wondering if she might have pups? x

2013-10-23 21:46 Bob

Hi to everyone, Thanks for all the help, Yes we are up for that, the only thing is that we know that she will only run off from anyone she does not know. So as far as we know that means Rene and Myself would have to be the closest as she only really knew us as she lived with us for six years out he in the fairly open countryside. That is why, when she slipped her collar when being looked after by some one who was strange to her,she would be scared to go to them! This is what makes it hard to catch her,and may be why she has kept herself fairly safe so far!( but we still worry and feel helpless at times!) Any way we must keep positive,and hope for another sighting soon. Many thanks to all for all the help, Bob and Rene xx

2013-10-23 10:08 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi, Just to say I am still walking in & around guestling woods regularly, & always looking out when driving around... maybe when the next sighting occurs, we should all descend on the area & have a thorough search... hoping she will show herself very soon... x

2013-10-23 07:39 Bob

Good Morning All, It seems like Misty has moved into one of her "keep out of the way times again!" I would be nice to here something again, we just wonder just where she manages to keep out of sight? we just keep our fingers crossed and hope to here from a call?
We thank you all for your help Bob and Rene xx
PS Misty was in last Friday's Add and in November issue of Dogs Today Mag:

Hello to all, Now do you think she is on a right hand or clockwise circuit ?? or may be anti clockwise circuit or left hand circuit? Left would be Fairlight, Icklesham, Broad Oak, Cripps Corner and right would be Fairlioght, Westfield, Broad Oak, Cripps Corner, ( Thats only a guess of coarse! ) But if any one sees her, please ring me, as we would sure like to see her for our self's
Well that's all the may bee's lets hope for some live sightings !!!
Once again Thank you all for keeping us with a bit of light hearted inspiration in trying to locate this young lady ( MISTY ) All the best to all you helpers, Bob and Renexx

2013-10-17 12:49 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hello all, yes I was thinking about all this, and trying to work out where Misty heads for after her summer hols on the beach. I believe she moved inland a bit and was lurking around Westfield/Brede last autumn so we are increasing our vigilance in that area whilst on the school run. We know she is out there, and when she is finally rounded up after her adventures I shall be telling her what a run around she has given us all over the past year!

2013-10-17 01:12 Bob

Ah! Misty has this habit of showing herself umpteen times and then moves on to where she is not seen! What we need is for some one to see her tagging along behind them when they walk there dog! That has been a comment from one or two people noting that the have had a small dog following them at a distance? So a couple of that ( or any good sighting ) !!! would be nice to here of! lets keep our fingers well crossed! Thanks for all the help from all Bob and Rene xx

2013-10-16 22:01 ALI

Misty's gone quiet on us but team Misty will never give up - I think of her everyday wondering where she will pop up next and always keep an eye out as I'm driving round the lanes - really want her re-united with you both xx

2013-10-15 19:03 Rene

Hi Clare thanks for your comment,we do have our low times when she is not sighted for quite a while then out of the blue she pops up again and the search for her starts all over again.Its comments like yours and all the others on this site that help us to stay positive and believe that one day she will be home with us,Bob and Rene xx

2013-10-13 14:58 Clare

Hi i just wanted to say what a great attitude you have to finding her. Never giving up and checking every lead as small as it may be. Im sure she will turn up out of the blue just as you're least expecting it as if she had never been away. Fingers crossed for you to get some positive news soon x

2013-10-13 12:36 Rene

hi to all,just an update to say that I had a call yesterday from someone that had been walking in Guestling woods and seen Mistys poster. He then popped into the shop at Icklesham and saw a notice of a found dog and wondered if it could be Misty! I rang the shop but they said that it was a black labrador, was a long shot but had to be checked out.A big thankyou to the person that rang me, there are still so many people out there helping us to get our little girl back home even after all this time and we are very grateful for any information in the hope that one day we will be reunited with her.Everything crossed we get another sighting soon, Bob and Rene xx

2013-10-11 00:38 Bob

We thank every one for there help and support and keep our fingers crossed, Bob and Rene x

2013-10-10 08:45 Ellie

Keeping Mistys page bumped as she is featured in the DogLost section of the November edition of Dogs Today magazine out now. Do hope it brings some news

2013-10-09 21:49 Lorraine

Come on Misty, show yourself beautiful! x

2013-10-09 08:23 Bob

Ah, I see that admin has found and bumped Misty! Many thanks to Admin for the help for the push forward to find our little girl,hopefully before the weather turns towards winter. Bob x

2013-10-09 08:20 Bob

Hi, Thanks for that Jenny, we will keep hopping for another sighting soon! We have put a new add in the Friday Add for two weeks and also on line @ Friday Add On Line. I sent an email to Dog Lost Admin last night to say about the new Adds. Has any one seen Mistys Add in the Dogs Today Magg: ? Once again Many Thanks for all the help that every one gives us in the search for her,and to get Misty home.
Many Thanks Bob and Rene x

2013-10-08 11:56 Jenny & Tiga k9tracker

Just to clarify I (JB) changed my screen name to K9 tracker as there was another JB posting on another page that I was also helping with and it got a bit confusing! The winter months are a bit quieter for me (haha) and I will soon come down and Clarkey and I can have a good hunt round with Tiga.

2013-10-07 07:22 Bob

Good Morning, we dropped a couple of posters into Dogs at home over the weekend with a few of the little credit sized ones in case some one just wanted to take the phone numbers with them. Thanks for all the continued help from every one, just waiting for the next call which we will put up on this site. Cheers Bob and Rene x

2013-10-06 11:47 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi,
Just got back from walk from Guestling Church & down through woods... Checked on poster in car park off watermill lane & poster is still in place, although I have replaced it with an A4 size one, previous one was A5 size... I put the A5 size one half way down watermill lane on another entrance into the woods... let's hope there is a sighting very soon of Misty .. x

2013-10-05 10:06 Bob

Good morning to all, And taking note about Poster for Pets at Home we will drop one in today and look into poster at car park at Watermill Lane. Thanks for that info Lesley and thanks for all of your help. Bob and Rene. x

2013-10-04 17:39 Lesley

Really hoping for another sighting of Misty. I walked my friends Shelties in Guestling woods today, didn't see a poster in the car park in Watermill Lane, maybe I just didn't spot it.
I have emailed the dog lost page to Rye and Battle observer asking if they could do an article but no reply yet. Maybe if all Misty's loyal followers did the same we might get a result.
Pets at Home will have a poster free of charge if anyone is passing. I will be next week. All the pet shops, feed stores etc could have one.
Lets hope for a sighting really soon.
We are all with you Bob and Rene

Thanks for the encouraging comments It just seems to be one of those dull times when Misty seems to keep herself out of any ones view! Come on girl lets have a good show so we have a chance to at least get a view of you ourselves !!! Thank you to all for all your help Bob and Rene x

2013-10-03 21:13 Clare

Hi Bob I came across the K9 tracker website by chance and they do sometimes post on here. www.K9searchdog.org as far as i understand is a free service that try to help when you have a positive sighting.Ring them and they try and get to you asap. I think they work on a donation for petrol basis ( please correct me if im wrong ) They have dogs trained just for the purpose of helping to track other dogs. Well worth looking on their website although from what i see JB and Tiga do an amazing job and do seem to get around abit ( in the nicest possible way ) So hope you get your Misty back soon. Shes a very resilient girl isnt she. x

2013-10-03 20:12 ALI

Haven't posted for a while but been active in keeping a close eye out for Misty......she always seems to be one step ahead of us - so frustrating for team Misty - really want this young lady home in the warm with Bob and Rene

2013-10-03 19:25 Bob

Hi, Thank you all very much for all your help, As to the Dogs Today Mag: the young lady that rang me said it should be in the October Issue ? I will more than likely put another add in the Friday Add next week. We have had a few calls from that but for five hundred plus in the local papers I think only one call! and I don't feel that's much for your money ? we just hope that some one sees her again soon and may bee try one of those larger searches? ( What's the K9 tracker dogs ? ) is that the same as JB and Tigar does? well thanks to every one for all their help and hope to hear from Misty Soon!!! Many Thanks Bob and Rene x

2013-10-03 11:35 Clare

It sounds like you're doing everything possible. I guess its just a matter of timing to catch this lovely girl x

2013-10-03 09:56 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, had a shifty through Dogs Today mag in the shop last night, and couldn't see anything on Misty. Possibly I missed it, but it may not be in until the november issue? Don't know if anyone else has had a look.
Hi Clare, yes we try to dash after the sightings, but unfortunately they often get called in to Bob and Rene a few days after she has been seen and she is a bit of a wanderer, albeit in a triangle so by the time Team Misty is at the sighting, she is off and away somewhere else!!!

We have been very fortunate that JB and her lovely tracker dog Tiga have helped out and confirmed the sightings. It is just a case of getting an up to date sighting and we would be straight there! But we are as determined as ever to get her home x

2013-10-03 08:43 Clare

Hi Bob and Rene. I check on Misty everyday in the hope that she will be moved to blue and safely back with you. Next time she is sighted maybe it would be an idea to organize a co ordinated search over a large area at the same time and try and publicise it in the local paper if they were willing. You seem to have great helpers but maybe if you were all out on the same day you could close in on her as it sounds like she always has places to run and hide and i know she tends to move around alot.Im sure youve done this already and have recieved the great advice from the lovely people here on Doglost but just a thought. Have you tried the K9 tracker dogs. Good luck x

2013-10-03 01:38 Bob

Hi TK thanks for that, we thank you and all of the help in trying to find and bring Misty Home. We would just like the chance of sighting her. Once again Thanks to all Mistys helpers Bob and Rene. x

2013-10-02 12:16 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi, just to say, I have been walking in Guestling woods & surrounding fields over past couple of weeks...Also had a long drive around last tues & again this morning, (fairlight, pett, pett level, winchelsea, icklesham, guestling).. lots of posters still in place all over.....
I put a poster up in guestling wood car park, off watermill lane & also one at the start of the footpath leading out of guestling church car park...... both are busy dog walking areas.... hope that was ok.
Hope Misty shows herself again very soon..... x

Morning All, Just to agree with SpringerMad It always seems to be like that we have some good sightings and we are just behind Misty then she move in her zig zag fashion so that we think that she is moving along when it looks like she moves back and forward over the same places! ? Just a thought as she visited Barney at Pett Level Twice ( by JB and Tigar ) could she be in pup some where and keeping a low profile ? Could be any where with cover ? We just keep hopping for that next call! Many Thanks for all your help, Bob and Rene. x

2013-10-01 11:10 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, hope you had a nice relaxing break Bob and Rene.
Not much Misty news at the moment, but we all know what she is like, goes quiet for a bit then pops up suddenly again! Keeping eyes and ears out on my walks, and talking to people. Will try to get down to Pett etc next week and check up on posters etc and renew any that need it. I have still got a few laminated ones. Here's hoping for a call with a sighting very shortly.

2013-09-30 12:43 Bob

Hi, Just to say that Rene and I are back home now ( catching up with the all the odds and ends that seem to show up when you go missing for a week.) As to Misty, other than what is on this site we have not had any new info which seems to be how Misty always gets seen two or three times and goes quirt for a week or so? So just waiting for the next productive call! Come on Home Misty its time for a good clean and brush up! Here's waiting Bob and Rene xx
PS I imagine that Misty should be out in Dogs Today Magazine Now ?

2013-09-29 13:04 AKASHA691

Hi any news on Misty, I am often around that area with my dogs, or driving by and I always have a look, silly really as if she is going to just appear. Where was her last sighting, I am always happy to come help if you need it, can bring a dog along or just go for a ramble!

2013-09-29 01:34 Angel

Hi, not sure but it might be worth contacting the manager of the hairdressers in Fairlight, nr Hastings, called Hair Base. The tel no is - 01424 814040. I was chatting to her yesterday, as she commented on my Sheltie (Tri colour), & mentioned that one of her customers had got a "well behaved" Sheltie, unlike her own naughty dog! It wasn't until I'd walked down the road that I noticed a poster about Misty, and that he had been sighted in that area. Chances are that it's a different dog, but you don't see many Shelties around, so it might be worth contacting her to ask her what her customers Sheltie is like. Good luck and I pray you find Misty soon. From a Sheltie lover!x

2013-09-25 17:17 DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent

My sable and white Shelties' coats lighten in the summer although a black strip and white tip on each tail remains the same, but we do have to see if this one is chipped.

2013-09-25 15:57 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Got txt fm Bob saying .. got email but picture of sheltie was of a lighter dog and Misty is chipped. Bob hving difficulty getting internet.

2013-09-24 08:38 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

Picture sent on to Bob to check as needs to be checked and eliminated.

2013-09-23 15:54 michele

Maybe the above sheltie,copied from FB

Dog dumped at highfield park with children.. came out of a white transit van they were passed a fresh pack of food unhardly opened.. a police officer drove past the group and has been flagged down he is taking the dog to kettering police station where they await microchipping and dog warden! The lady who passed the dog said its name is ted
Looked the same as pic above

2013-09-21 02:08 Bob

Hi to every one, Thanks for all the comments, my phone will be on for texts etc: where there is signal so if needed please text and I will return call when possible. many thanks Bob and Rene.xx

2013-09-20 20:54 ALI

Bob do you ever sleep........I am sure the article is not only well written but will prove to be soooooo valuable in the search for Misty. Happy birthday to Rene and enjoy a well earned rest xx

2013-09-20 09:40 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, thanks for the update bob about the magazine. Should be really helpful. Whose birthday, is it Rene's? Happy Birthday and have a well earned holiday x

2013-09-20 08:32 Bob

Good Morning to every one, Just to say that I had a call from Jodie at 'Dogs Today Magazine' who asked me if we would like to run a story in next month's Magazine. I managed to send through some photo's ( I Hope ) ? plus a run through from where Misty started her endless journey!!! and up till now. I hope I have worded it ok as it was about half past three this morning! I thank all for all the help and just hope Misty comes home soon! thanks Bob and Rene ( Birthday Girl Today!!) 21 again xx

2013-09-19 20:03 Rene

Good evening to everyone,thank you all for all your kind comments like you we were hoping to have our little Misty home for her birthday. It has been a very long year for us with so many highs and lows but we wont give up until we get her back home with us,we still miss her so much and yes Ali if only she knew how hard we are all trying to catch up with her xx

2013-09-19 17:45 ALI

I echo everything that has been said below - we all want to see Misty back where she belongs and team Misty will never give up on achieving this. If only she new what we are doing to get her home and how 'famous' she is - have a good week away Bob and Rene - we will continue to carry on all your hard work and will keep in touch with you xx

2013-09-19 13:44 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Come on Misty, show yourself, over 29,000 hits on your page, 56 followers and 500 posts!! We will never give up, because we know you are out there, but it really is time to come home to your family.

2013-09-19 08:49 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Happy Birthday for yesterday Misty. It's one year today that Misty went missing and we had all really hoped that she would have been home by now, but we will never give up on her. Every so often Misty lets us have a glimpse of what she is up to and where, just to keep us all going. It must be so frustrating for you Bob and Rene. There was a time at the beginning of this year that I was rather worried about her safety/well being, but I needn't have been .. apparently (as we found out much later) for some of that time she was playing with someone's dog in a garden on Pett Level!! Wonder what else she gets up to!!
I want to thank everyone who has and is still helping look for this elusive, resilient little girl. Your support for Bob and Rene is very much appreciated. As for Misty .. it's time you went home now. Please keep showing yourself, we will all be keeping a sharp eye open for you. Thanks again to Team Misty!

2013-09-18 17:59 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Happy Birthday Misty wherever you are. Stay safe, we are all looking for you xx

2013-09-18 11:00 ALI

come home Misty - it's a special day for you today and we all want you re-united with Bob and Rene. I keep a close eye out all the time and am wondering where she moved onto after Icklesham. Am driving out to Rye today to meet my sister and will 'keep 'em peeled'

2013-09-18 08:16 Bob

Hi, Thanks for your help TK and thanks for all the help that every one gives. We need Our little Girl Misty to give us a show to try and guess the way she is travelling at the moment! We are away from Saturday until the following Saturday (21/09 until 28/09 ) and Misty is Seven Years Today and will be Missing for One year tomorrow!
So come on back Quick for your birthday or your Year out tomorrow !!! Lets keep our fingers crossed come home girl! Many Thanks To All Bob and Rene. x

2013-09-17 12:33 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi, went for a long walk in Guestling woods this morning, had forgotten how pretty they are! then had a drive around, down through pett, along pett level, up through winchelsea, had a drive around the back lanes in icklesham, along main road in icklesham, turned down by guestling church, up to fairlight, had a drive down past fairlight church & quick look around country park entrances, down martineu lane, back through guestling & down through three oaks... lots of posters sighted, unfortunately no sign of Misty. Was scouring the fields that I could see into as went past, so many footpaths etc she could be using/hiding.. lets hope she is spotted again soon... I will continue to take dogs for their walks around Guestling woods & surrounding areas, so pretty around there... will spread the word to other dog owners & keep looking for her .. x

2013-09-17 08:15 Bob

Hi,Just to Thanks for every ones help in keeping Mistys drive going forward and that if at any time JB needs Mistys Well wrapped Collar Let me Know. Once again thanks to all Bob and Rene.

2013-09-16 15:18 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

JB - Not going to be able to make it tomorrow, sorry.
Will see if I can get down there another day this week x

2013-09-14 02:26 Bob

Good evening every one, or should I say good morning?Thanks for the comments and the bump up Clarkey, and I note the emails for Westfield and Pett and will have a bash at sending them updates over the weekend. I have only just seen your note on here and about to grab a few zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's! It has just taken me about half an hour to get connected to the inter nett! and they are not too quick around the lanes! Thanks for all the help Bob and Rene x.

2013-09-14 00:28 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi everyone! Am up in Wales on a busman's holiday but am able to get on computer when intermittent/slow internet allows. Was very sorry to see that Misty's page had been put in the blue in error. As you have ad online and in Fri Ad I hv bumped the page for you Bob and Rene.
Would have loved to joined you all for search party on tues but will still be looking after farm up here. Just to confirm that whilst looking for Pattie I spk to a lovely guy who said he'd seen Misty in Fairlight village..must have bn imbetween Pett and Mill Lane sightings I think. You all seem to be doing a fantastic job keeping the momentum going with posters etc.. well done and yes, I'm proud of you!! I will be thinking of you all on Tues or whenever you go searching. Good luck! PS wondering if you could get the Observer or Dogs Today magazine to do a story on Misty: it being her birthday and how she is being seen on her 'circuit' regularly .. how she's such a resilient little girl surviving out there on her own etc. Got to be worth a try. would also be good idea to let the Westfield and Pett communities know Misty may be in the area again..you can email them on their pages http://www.westfieldvillage.co.uk/ and
http://www.pettnet.co.uk/pett-village-voice

JB that would be fab if you are free, and anyother followers n friends of misty welcome to come for a ramble. We'll liaise on monday when we know how our week is panning out.

2013-09-11 15:57 Tiga

SpringerMad - if I am free next Tuesday I might join you!

2013-09-11 13:52 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Of course, if there are any other sightings in the meantime I shall head straight off to wherever.

2013-09-11 13:50 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Yes a real shame it was a false alarm, but nevermind the search continues in earnest. Misty will be 7 years old next wednesday and it would be wonderful to have her back for her birthday.

This morning I started at Pett level and walked both ways on the beach. No sign of Misty or the other sheltie from the caravan site. No many people to chat to, just a few locals walking their dogs who are aware of Misty. Plenty of posters still in situ there. We then started the trek along to Fairlight but I got as far as somewhere called The Sanctuary and took one look at that hill then turned round and went all the way back to get the car! Drove on up to fairlight and Hastings country park, there are lots of entrances so had a peek around them. Then over to Pett village. Posters still aplenty there. Onwards to Icklesham, had a look around the playing fields and back lanes. Then back home. Although I didn't see Misty, it was productive in the sense that I have checked posters, and chatted to a few people.

I have decided that once Misty is back home, Bob and Rene will be buying a holiday home at Pett Level so we can all go for nice breaks haha !! I love it down there!

Will be back at Pett to do the same next week, probably tues.

2013-09-11 10:05 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

MESSAGE FROM BOB. FALSE ALARM. MISTY STILL LOST.

Oh crossed posts Jayne. Will wait and see. Must make coffee to sit and wait this out!

2013-09-11 08:51 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Back to lost then. What a shame.

2013-09-11 08:51 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Have switched back to lost until we can find out who switched to reunited....

2013-09-11 08:50 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I am sure we would have all got news if this was so, unless it has literally just happened?

2013-09-11 08:48 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I have just text Bob, will await his reply.

2013-09-11 08:46 B30

Is this right? Has Misty really been found?? Please can whoever reunited this page confirm that owners have found her?

Did school run, came back to collect the dog to go searching and spotted this.

2013-09-11 08:39 Woo sips

Is this correct? Has Misty been found? I have been watching this for ages, I really hope so x

2013-09-10 18:48 ALI

Now Misty......the lovely Pattie has been reunited and now I think its your turn......so stay safe in ONE area and we will be able to re-unite you too!! perhaps the promise of a sausage or some juicy bacon would entice you home

2013-09-10 18:08 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Yes, I think I will start at Pett Level and do the long walk along the seafront to Winchelsea. It will be quieter now as end of season and I may spot something. Then into the car and up to Icklesham for a drive around Will be starting early straight after the school run as I shall be in the area already. Will report back after.

2013-09-10 17:28 Rene

Afternoon Springermad,we know what you mean we are not sure where to go from Icklesham as last year she moved on to Broad Oak after Icklesham but until we get another sighting we dont know in which direction she is travelling in but any help is much appreciated.Thanks very much for all your help in searching for Misty. Bob and Rene x

2013-09-10 17:05 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Afternoon all. Am intending going on a very long dog walk tomorrow in search of Misty. But not sure which area to start? Icklesham, Pett or Fairlight?

2013-09-09 23:38 Bob

Hi, Just to add that we have renewed the add in the Friday Add plus on line, and we also left a new poster plus leaflets and small easy to carry credit card size posters at the visitors centre at Fairlight Country Park. We dropped a new poster at Mallydams. Many Thanks for all your help Bob and Rene x

2013-09-09 11:26 Rene

Hi,went out yesterday and changed some posters for the ones that have the Icklesham sighting on them. We also repostered Three Oaks plus one at the pub,put more up at Icklesham as well as speaking to a couple at the playing field with their dogs who knew about Misty already and have some posters(wonder if these were the people that Ali spoke to the other evening).We then went to Fairlight and put up more posters in the village as well as looking around the country park then up to Mill Lane where we found that the posters had been set light to so put up a couple more! Thanks TK for your help and like you we hope she shows herself soon. Bob and Rene x

Hi, just to say we drove out to icklesham this afternoon, dogs needed a walk & kids wanted to go to a playpark..... had a wonder round playing field, & had a look over back of playing field...kept eyes open whilst driving there & back, along main rd in icklesham, 3 oaks, ivyhouse lane, here's hoping she is spotted again very soon.... x

2013-09-08 13:42 Rene

Hi to all,just to let you know that we will be out postering and walking this afternoon. We will replace old posters that need replacing with new ones that Bob printed out last night and put some up in the area she was last seen in,we have also printed some more smaller ones for posting in letter boxes.Bob spoke with JB but she hadnt found the message he sent her and we know that she was tracking Pattie at the time and then had to go and track a staffie that had escaped from a car that was involved in the awful accident in the fog the other day,happily he was found safe and well.Hoping to get another call soon about which direction Misty is travelling so that we might catch up with her. Thanks again for all your support Bob and Rene x

2013-09-06 14:35 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi,
Thanks for the info, will keep eyes open & have asked family &friends to do the same. Will vary where I walk my 2 dogs, in the places she has been sighted.... everythingthing crossed for her to found soon .x

2013-09-05 20:35 Bob

Hi to all, In answer to TK We are never sure where to say as all the ground that Misty has covered is possible? I will put down a list of her start point and approx: where she has been seen and tracked by Jenny and Tiga.
Started at Rock Lane Ore whilst being looked after for us ( slipped her collar. Six weeks on sighted at Fairlight Country Park Area plus tracked a bit later confirming she was there,then approx: a week later sighted at Broad Street Icklesham and tracked the same day as Fairlight, and confirmed. we had a couple of sightings at Westfield one up the back of will Farm Estate and one near Hole Farm at different times, not confirmed but we are sure it was Misty. Then about six weeks later sighted at Broad Oak between the A28 and the B2089 up the public foot path near the wood and tracked about a week later and confirmed.then quite a while with not much to shout about, then not long before Christmas a young girl on the school bus coming along from Cripps Corner on the left crossing into Ellenwhore Lane then end of Feb/ Start of March sighted approx a mile down Ellenwhore Lane on the right in a field close to woods. Then nothing for about four and a half months and that was the Pett Level one which was tracked by JB and confirmed two days later, then a few people calling and saying that they had seen her in that area. about six weeks on seen at the top of the Fair light road opposite Mill Lane going up into the coppice and the latest was two days ago at the bottom end of the playing field at Icklesham near the goal post by the style and going off towards Laurel lane where there is some trees over what seem to be a fairly dried up pond ( Well until tomorrow! ) if we get the expected rain! So I/We are never quite sure which way as she seems to go back and forth, But would just love to get her home by the time she is Seven on the 18th of this month. Thanks to all for all there help fingers and things crossed Bob and Rene.xx

2013-09-05 19:48 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi,
Hi, Just to say, we are still keeping our eyes peeled for Misty....
If there is anything we can do to help, or any places in particular you want me to walk around etc.... please just say... here's hoping she is soon back safely with you ... x

Had a call from Clarkey a little while ago, she has been out postering for Pattie who is missing, she said that while she was out she also showed a poster of Misty to people and one of them said that they had seem her a few weeks ago in Fairlight, we think it was before we postered all around that area. She said that Misty looked well but that her coat was badly matted which doesnt surprise us as she needs grooming at least once a week.All the sightings give us hope that we will eventually get her home Bob and Rene x

2013-09-05 08:43 Bob

Hi all, I have not heard from JB Imagine they must be at full streach with on going jobs, Bob and Rene.

2013-09-05 08:19 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, Misty shares a birthday with my daughter!

Did JB have any thoughts about whether it is worth tracking at Icklesham? She and Tiga do seem to be being stretched in all directions at the moment though for tracking requests.

2013-09-04 21:05 Bob

Misty will be Seven on the 18th of September the day before she slipped her collar whilst being looked after when we was away. So come on home girl. Bob and Rene with all crossed xx

Evening all, great to hear that is sounds as though it was Misty, and so close to home! Not been much use today as have alot going on this end, but keeping an eye on the page. Ali thats great about more posters being handed out. "Poster Power" as Clarkey says!!!!
When is Misty's birthday Bob?

2013-09-04 20:49 Bob

Hi, just to say I stopped off at Icklesham and spoke to the owner of the other Sheltie who confirmed that yesterdays sighting could not have been any of her dogs as they travel with her, So sounds like was our little baby! One of our dog cages is out in the car port I will put some more of her much liked crackle and try to keep next doors ginger cat out! as they don't seem to mind my sent on the tee shirt in the cage! Hears hopping for that bit of good luck! Come on home girl for your next birthday?? many thanks for every ones help Bob and Rene. x

2013-09-04 18:43 Rene

Thanks Ali for all your help,ive been to Icklesham this afternoon looking down through the lanes in the area Misty was seen but no luck either like you we believe she may have moved on again! Drove round to see if i could speak to the owner of the car you spoke about but no one home but spoke to next door nieghbour who didnt think it would be any of her dogs. Bob is going to try and speak to her on his way home just to eliminate her dog so that we are then convinced that it was Misty that was sighted yesterday. We should be able to hand out posters on saturday as we will be in the area, we have postered the area but as you say the more people know she has been in the area the better, just waiting for the next call Bob and Rene x

2013-09-04 16:54 ALI

Took Frankie for his walk today at Icklesham - no sightings but we met a lovely family who gave me useful information on the area (and I gave them posters - Clarkey would be proud)!! They guided us to a derelict garage on a footpath to the church which would provide shelter. We then walked through the woods and there is a large lake there - fenced off to humans but a good water supply for Misty - think if you kept walking straight on you would eventually arrive at Pett so she appears to be sticking to an area - we just always seem to be a few steps behind her. There is a craft fair at the village hall on saturday (not sure of time) would be a good opportunity to give out posters etc if anyone has capacity to do. So wanted to see her today - have re-shared on facebook with latest sighting info

2013-09-03 21:00 ALI

Have spent time this evening in Icklesham at the playing fields. Met 2 girls at the play park and gave them a poster - interestingly they told us there is a sheltie living in the village (sometimes roams free) although they were unsure exactly where it lived. It made us wonder if it was this dog sighted this morning. However we then met another lady who was more specific about where this Sheltie lives and she said that she had not seen it walked on the playing field but the owner (who actually has 3 dogs in total) tends to put the dogs in the back of her car and drive them to ??Fairlight for walks. This restored our faith that it was Misty seen today. She told us where this lady lives and we were able to drive there to locate the house/car. Was unsure about knocking on the door and asking if she walks the Sheltie on the playing field - furthermore it was really dark and we needed to head home. Before leaving the field we met another lovely couple who were interested in Misty and the new sighting - after their walk they were going to the Queens Head (a dog friendly pub) and were happy to take a bunch of posters to handout to customers. Although it was a shame we didn't see Misty it was a productive evening - we met some lovely residents and have located another dog friendly pub which is always a bonus. Ali

2013-09-03 19:30 Rene

Hi,just an update to say that Bob went over to Icklesham at lunchtime to have a look around the area that Misty was seen in and walked across the area and called but sorry to say her didnt see her anywhere.Ive been out this afternoon searching as well as postering but as usual she has probably moved on. I have postered public footpaths in Laurel Lane,Workhouse Lane, Mill Lane as well as the main road. Our stepson and some of his friends have also been out searching the area as they live in Icklesham but they didnt have any luck either but it does seem she is keeping to the same areas that she has previously been sighted. Bob has rung J.B and left her a message to ask if she thinks it would be worth coming down with Tiga. Thanks to everyone for your help Bob and Rene x

2013-09-03 18:34 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

UPDATE - NEW SIGHTING TODAY.

Bob, hope you don't mind me updating the page here as sooner word is out the better. Some of us received text from Bob to say there had been a reported sighting at 12.45 lunchtime today at Icklesham playing field/park. I gather both Bob and Rene have been/are there searching.

I have been down for a quick drive in the past hour. Checked playing fields and lanes around the area (round the back of playing field) and through village. Had to get back home, but ALI possibly going down this evening.

Anyone in the locality who could keep an eye out would be great as we seem to be just behind her.

I'm sure Bob and Rene will update as soon as they can.

2013-09-02 03:37 Bob

Hi, Just to say that a good idea JB we will try to get down and ask the owners tomorrow pm if they are staying there this week. Many Thanks Bob.

2013-09-01 19:17 Tiga

Perhaps we could ask the owner of Barney to get him to wear something distinctive perhaps like a red bandana so that any sightings we can confirm instantly if it is Barney or Misty.

2013-08-30 20:32 Rene

Hi SpringerMad I have just spent an hour or so until it got too dark,walking along the sea wall from the toilets!! no sighting of Misty but Barney the sheltie on the caravan park was there so it could have been him that was seen on wednesday evening as he does seem to wander away from the park at times. We will let you know if we get any more news. Thanks Bob and Rene x

2013-08-30 08:46 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

We can get the page bumped for possible sighting and Friday Ad. Any idea what time in the eve this Sheltie was seen? I can't get down there again until at least sunday eve due to working.

2013-08-30 08:44 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh fingers crossed it is Misty! I wonder if you could find out from the caravan park if Barney is there at the moment, then they can confirm if it was their dog.

2013-08-30 08:34 Bob

Hi To All, Just to mention I had a call from a friend yesterday to say that the previous evening they were wandering along Pett Level Sea wall and saw a Sheltie on its own wandering along the sea wall near the caravan park! ? so I am trying to show them the picture of Barney who lives there to be sure that it was not him but I called round to their house to check but there was no one at home! so I will update when I know.As to Barby It would have to be Sunday afternoon But this week we have one on holiday at work plus short week so there has been a few ten and twelve hour days, so until Saturday its is up in the air! Many thanks for all your support and it will be nice to meet again! We must try to order some 36 hour days then we can do a good twelve hour day plus sleep and still have loads of Misty Time! Thanks Again Bob and Rene xx.

2013-08-30 07:59 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, Bob don't forget Clarkey said to ask for the page to be bumped for the Friday Ad today.

2013-08-29 20:44 ALI

I'm up for that........perhaps we can get something organised depending on when people are free.....thanks for the number springermad xx

2013-08-29 20:26 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I wonder if we ought to have another meet up/raise aawareness/small bbq again? Bob does a great barbie! Even just a few sausages on a disposable bbq. Thing is we are not quite sure of the area she is currently loitering, but whilst weather remains good and people are on their hols/day trips it may be worthwhile? What do folk think?

2013-08-29 20:01 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Have texted you my number Ali.

2013-08-29 19:40 ALI

agreed Bob, Springermaad and Clarkey - we need to keep her at the forefront of everyone's minds. I have been keeping an eye out in Westfield as I've been driving around - posters are still evident. Have lost all my phone contacts so can clarkey and Springermad text me your mobile numbers and I will re-add them. Bob I can take yours from the details above. Come on Misty about time we had another sighting xx

2013-08-29 07:54 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all. Good to 'see' you Clarkey! I will try to get back to Pett again this week as I still feel she may stay between Pett and Mill Lane area whilst the weather is good. Think a presence of talking to people and poster checking is important at the moment as there are new people holidaying or day tripping until the end of the season, and they may spot Misty and not think much more about it. They day of the BBQ was so productive that I think we could get more news by being physically there as much as possible and talking to people.

Just hoping for more sightings. Bob .. if there's an ad in Fri Ad this wk pls mention on here so page can be bumped. Come on Misty .. Show yourself again please.

2013-08-28 08:20 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, going to Pett Level for a dog walk today, to check posters are still aplenty and have a drive up to Mill Lane area. Will hand out A5's to passers by.

2013-08-26 01:19 Bob

Hi, Thanks for all your comments, Rene and I went back up to the mill Lane Country Park and replaced one or two of the Missing Posters, so that we get to hear of any more sightings! Its now that we could do with another good sighting giving Misty's Direction? We will keep our fingers crossed! Many Thanks to all, Bob and Rene.

2013-08-24 21:54 DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent

My three shelties and I are following this thread closely and we're all praying for Misty's early reunion. She seems so close but elusive although that's true to form with the breed. Like you I was worried about the distressed barking the other night and wondered if she might have been caught in bramble bushes or similar. They are such an intelligent breed and resourceful. I just have this gut feeling you will find her. x

Hi,
Just to say we went through Westfield & Brede to Rye yesterday & was keeping a look out for Misty, we did notice some posters Westfield area... On the Way back we came along Pett Level & Fairlight, turning down Martineau lane & along Rye Road & back along the Ridge, we did again notice posters at Fairlight on the main road.... When we drove down Martineau lane we did see one by the stile half way down
The other night when we looked around the helipad area, although there were some posters in mill lane, we noticed there wasn't any in the helipad, by the toilets ....
We will keep looking out when we are in the area & continue to spread the word... x

2013-08-24 11:18 Rene

Good morning to all,just to say spent a couple of hours driving around Pett,Pett Level,Fairlight and last area she was sighted which was near The Country Park at Mill Lane but saw no sight of little Misty.I noticed that the posters that we put up around the Country Park areas at Mill Lane and Fairlight seemed to have been taken down,not sure by who?By this time it was getting quite dark and eerie and was on my own so decided to call it a day Bob and Rene x

2013-08-23 23:05 GSPs E&B

Good luck with the on going search for Misty... Fingers crossed she will be home with her family very soon... I keep hoping to see her in the blue.. Keep up the great work... xXx

2013-08-22 21:53 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Had a drive about this evening. Have now seen the location we are focussing on at the moment. It was getting very dark, ideal time to stop and listen, but I was alone so didn't hang around too long, just did the lanes a few times with the windows down, but you do feel a bit vulnerable and I don't recommend any evening watches without company now that the nights are drawing in a little earlier. Come on Misty we are all desperate to get you home.

2013-08-22 20:08 Lesley

Hi Springermad.
The barking is in the area of Mill Lane Martineau Lane where Misty was seen, from my friends house you can walk a footpath that takes you to those lanes so she could be in that area it is wooded as well. We also hear barking over here in Fourteen Acre lane (we are next door to Bob and rene) but if Misty is near Fairlight Hall it is unlikely to be here.

2013-08-22 19:46 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh I don't like the sound of 'distressed barking'. Is Friars Hill the area where they hear the barking? Is this near the Mill Lane area where she was last seen? Sorry I don't know that area very well. Wonder if I should take a drive down there tonight to have a listen out? Will have a google and see where you are talking about.

2013-08-22 19:17 Lesley

So pleased to hear of another confirmed sighting.
My friends who own the 2 shelties that I walk live on Friars Hill right hand side going down with a view to Fairlight Hall. I told them Misty had been spotted in the area and they heard barking in that area last evening 10 pm /11 pm quite sure it was a Sheltie barking and it was descibed as distressed. I hope this helps. Will post again if they hear more barking.

2013-08-22 08:31 Bob

Good morning to all,
Just to say we have put Misty back in the Friday add this week to try and keep the awareness going forward. We have just put out one of our dog cage/bed under the car port,with scented clothing and some of her much loved treats so that if ( as it is possible for her to be about this area if she is following back round her trail? ! ? ) she could be sniffing about out side home at night! So we keep on hoping to see her!!!
Once again for all the help Bob and Rene.

2013-08-20 23:03 Bob

Just a line to say thanks for your help and to say thanks to TK for looking for us and helping to spot Misty as much as possible to help us get close to her. all our thanks Bob and Rene.

2013-08-20 19:44 TK - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi, having seen a poster a while ago in 3 oaks & then the other day coming accross this page, we took our dogs for a walk last eve, covering mill lane, north seat, helipad & down a road opp helipad bringing us back up through the wooded area that misty was sighted at the other eve, unfortunately we didnt spot her, but will keep our eyes open & spread the word...... have shared on my facebook page also.
Heres to her safe return soon... x

2013-08-20 09:25 Bob

Hi,Thanks for all the comments and thank you Chester for your offer to put up Mistys Dog Lost Poster. We seem to always to be just behind Misty by that Hour or day or so! But with a steady flow of odd sightings we need to try and work out if she is moving back round where she has been? Could it be back towards Rock Lane where she started? Its is with all the great help we keep hoping that we will eventually come across her our selves so that we at least have a chance to see her and recover if possible or at least know where to start to put food out on our clothing for scent!! Here is wishing her home, and once again thank you to all for your help. Bob And Rene.

2013-08-19 23:48 Chester1066

Great to hear of possibly sightings. I work in Hastings a well known wholefoods shop with a community board that get a good level of coverage - I will print poster tomorrow at work and put it up, making sure that I name the area of the possible sighting. A lot of the people that visit our shop are dog owners and frequent Fairlight area. xx Best of luck

2013-08-19 22:25 ALI

Had a long day yesterday out in and around fairlight.......diverted from north seat to the place that Misty was last seen but no sign of her I'm afraid. Saw lots of posters around the area so that prompting people to remember she is still out there.

2013-08-18 09:54 ALI

We often go walking at the weekend with Frankie and make a day of it (in an attempt to be slimmer)!! instead of Ashdown Forrest today we are heading to do the Fairlight circular walk which will cover Fairlight glen, warren glen etc and will attempt a slight detour to near where she was sighted two days ago. We have maps, drinks, sandwiches and a tin of sardines just in case we spot her......if we do we will just observe and call straight away depending on phone signal. There will one huge party when this lovely girl is home with Bob and Rene xx

Have been up there tonight......all was quiet - nights are drawing in now so was a little eerie being there on my own so stayed in the car and drove round for about an hour (Jeni's at work). Saw lots of posters and desperately wanted to see Misty but no sign tonight......fingers crossed she is seen again soon and people report sightings having seen the posters/leaflets up there xx

2013-08-17 20:40 Bob

Evening To All, We have been up to where Misty was seen yesterday Morning and put up some more posters plus put leaflets through the doors of the houses up Mill Lane as far as Fairstone Close. We carried on up to the top of Mill Lane and put posters up in Various spots at the start and ends of quite a few walk ways. we think that the place she was seen was just about opposite Mill Lane at the end of the brick wall which is on the right ( Travelling towards Fairlight from Ore ) This is another public footpath which leads to the country park where she was tracked about six weeks after she went missing.Keeping fingers crossed Bob and Rene.

2013-08-17 18:07 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Great that there has been yet another sighting of Misty! Got your messages Bob and Clarkey. Am working tonight again, but will keep an eye on the page and see where we are at tomorrow.Ali, if you go down for a look please update the page as I can look but not post tonight if you know what I mean!!!
Just got another text from Clarkey who says at least she has moved away from those toilets haha!!

2013-08-17 17:42 ALI

Really excited to hear about another positive sighting. I may get the chance to go there later to have a look round - the Friday ad advert is clearly having an impact. Come on Misty we want to help you get home and then team Misty can have a HUGE celebration !!

2013-08-17 11:48 Bob

Good Morning All,
Just to update the latest on Misty! We have just had a call from a man who was certain that he saw Misty going into a small coppice on the road going up from Ore to Fairlight as you are leaving Ore passing Fairstone Close on your left just on the right before climb up to the sharp right hand corner at the heli pad. We ask anyone seeing her to call as she will always look and move away if you move towards her! Many Thanks For all your help, Bob and Rene.

2013-08-14 09:13 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, yes, good idea to keep the ad in for another week, especially as you have had phone calls from the last one. Where were those other sightings? Were they a long way away, just thinking that as Misty does tend to 'travel' she may have moved off again. Hopefully not but worth bearing in mind!

2013-08-14 02:33 Bob

Just to say We have put misty's Add back in the Friday Add again for this weeks paper plus in the on line Add. Just thought it might just trigger a few more sightings? Here's waiting! All the best to everyone for there help Bob and Rene.

2013-08-11 17:22 Rene

Hi to everyone, just to say that we have had a few calls after the ad went into the Friday.Ad,sorry to say that we dont think the callers could have seen our Misty as the sightings were to far away. As far as we know she is still quite close by as she was only tracked by Jenni and Tiga a couple of weeks ago. We are hoping that we may get another sighting soon as so many people know that she is still missing. Thanks again for all your comments Bob and Rene xx

Took a drive out to Pett this evening with Frankie for his walk. We were able to park at the toilets and walk through the shrubb land to the sea wall. Nothing to report I'm afraid although Frankie would like it noted that he had fun trying to catch the rabbits. Lots of posters seen which is good keeping the profile of the lovely Misty in everyone's minds xx

2013-08-06 12:07 Bob

Hi to every one, Just to say thanks to SpringerMad for that and as far as we know the road works are up to four days! so for Pett and the Level its down Chick Hill. I have just up loaded another Add online plus local Friday Adds I hope I have put in all that matters? Fingers Crossed it helps to bring in the sightings! I have done some laminated Small updates which I hope will give a bit more Info to tell That the tracking confirms that Misty has been There! So more than just a possible. Cheers to all Bob and Rene

Went to Winchelsea Beach yesterday and saw loads of posters that you had put up Bob and Rene!! The area from Dogs Hill along to Pett was closed whilst I was there, so handed out a few flyers to walkers in the area but was limited what else I could do down there. So annoying to close the road off in peak season.
Hope to get down to Pett Level again for a walk this week. Are they opening the road again during the evenings does anyone know or is it all closed off for the week?

2013-08-05 08:31 Bob

Hi, Thanks for that SpringerMad, We just now wait for a call, Once again thank every one for all the help, Bob and Rene.

2013-08-05 07:29 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I am visiting friends on Winchelsea beach later today, (dogs hill area) so will do some postering along the seafront.

2013-08-05 07:22 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, had a lovely walk along Pett yesterday, handed out a few a5 flyers and chatted to people. Just waiting for the calls now!

2013-08-05 02:21 Bob

Evening all, Just to say Rene and I went down to Pett Level and had a wander along the sea wall and round past the end of the caravan park back out to the road by the toilets along the road a bit back past the loo's in through the walk way back through the end of the caravan park up on the sea wall along to the cliff. Then wandered back along the sea wall speaking to a couple of people on route and then back and had a talk to the land lady of the smugglers before coming home. Update on the road work:- We see that there is three large road surfacing type machines along the level towards the W/Beach end and it says work to start on the fifth for four days ( Today Monday ) Thanks for all your help Bob and Rene.

2013-08-04 12:24 Rene

Hi all thanks to all who have helped with getting the word out there,we have given the Robin Hood pub one of the newer posters to replace the older version as we were in there for lunch yesterday. Not sure where to poster next just hope we get another sighting soon. Might see you down there later Springermad,we will be going there later on this afternoon.We will put another missing ad in the Friday Ad this week in the hope we may get that call that will get Misty home,will text Clarkey if we get any news.

2013-08-03 17:37 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

brilliant amount of postering done this week. well done everyone! Hope to get down there for a walk tomorrow afternoon.

AFTERNOON EVERYONE - MESSAGE FROM CLARKEY

Her computer has given up to ghost totally, and therefore she cannot read emails or post on this site. We all have her mobile number and can we text any important stuff to her please. She cannot tell admin either so hopefully they are reading this too.

Bob, Clarkey said if you had an ad in the paper then you can get the page bumped.

Hopefully Clarkey will be back at the helm very shortly as we need her. Wish I had a spare computer to lend, if you have a spare laptop/computer kicking about then that would be marvellous!

Good morning to all, just to let you know that Bob has printed more laminated posters as well as flyers for letter boxes if anyone needs some. Cant poster today as have family commitments but will try to do some more tomorrow, thanks again to everyone in helping to get Misty back to us xx

2013-08-01 23:18 Rene

Hi all, thanks Ali for all your hard work,I have been out all afternoon postering with Denise,my daughter in law. We have put flyers in most of the houses in both lanes on the right of Chick Hill(coming along from toilets)speaking to lots of people on the way.A lot of them knew of Misty already so it seems the postering is working. We also put more laminated ones a little way up the hill but was quite dangerous so gave up on that. We then put posters up along Pett village on quite a few telegraph poles as well as along Peter James Lane up into Fairlight,we also postered both bus shelters in Waites Lane plus a few at the country park as the old ones had been taken down.Denise has given a poster to the shop in Icklesham as well as one in the bus shelter next to the village green,there is a village fete there saturday so there will be lots of people about.We are out of posters now til Bob can print and laminate some more!!!! Been a busy week but we are hoping all this postering will bring us some good news,thanks again to everybody for all your help xx

sorry to disappoint it was just a standard cornetto.........but 250 calories I hasten to add but by the time I realised it was too late......ho hum

2013-08-01 19:24 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

What flavour icecream Ali, and did you ram a couple of flakes into it for good measure?!!

Still not managed to get down to Pett, was hoping to go tonight, but only just about to eat, so I don't think it will happen. Working over the weekend so looks like earliest I can assist would be sunday onwards.

Have been to Westfield and put laminated posters along main road, round by the GP surgery and along wheel lane - have also put one on the footpath across the fields to Sedlescombe - lovely walk and they allow dogs in the pub but I was too early so made do with an ice cream!! There is still a poster in good condition on the public footpath on the corner of Westfield lane as you drive towards village on the right but could not see any near whitelands kennels and holiday park - might be worth putting one there if anyone knows the kennels (I don't) but I ran out of posters. Gave one to the butchers in Westfield but did not have enough time to visit the small parade of shops - Londis declined having one (£1 a week) so I used the telegraph pole outside their shop instead (free). Has anyone considered contacting the local paper to ask them to run an article/story re Misty??

2013-08-01 00:32 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks Chester, that's a great help.
Rene, That's good to hear the people in houses near the breeders know and hopefully that means they have yr tel number too.
If you can do tomorrow what you really need to do is poster in the houses along Pett Rd and down to Chick Hill as they have not been done yet and it's likely Misty is going into more than one garden up there (I expect more than one person feeds the foxes!) Putting posters in letterboxes works well as the householders will then have yr tel number indoors and can ring you when they see Misty.
We can do the houses up Fairlight as well, but I think Pett Rd/Chick Hill is more important at the mo. Would you text me yr tel number so I can ring you and find out where you are as I might be able to help do some too.

2013-07-31 16:17 Rene

Thanks Chester the more people that know the better.Sorry cant poster today but have grandchildren this afternoon after work but should be able to tomorrow afternoon.Bob has printed off a lot of posters and laminated them this morning so will probably poster Fairlight again.No need to poster up where she was bred as there are four houses up there and they will all know,I believe they are putting food out in case she shows up again but will talk to them about leaving some clothing up there as well. We are just waiting and hoping for the next sighting,come on Misty show yourself again please we want you back home!

2013-07-31 11:21 Chester1066

I will print off poster and put up at my workplace, which is in Hastings - we have a lot of customers buy wholefoods from us that live in that area. Also one our local farmers has a farm in Pett Level - ill contact him asap.

2013-07-31 07:54 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Bob & Rene,when you spoke to Misty's breeder did you ask them to leave food/your clothing out for her in case she visited again? Wld be an idea to do so as she may go bk to see them. Have you put posters in the houses next to where this is (still not sure exactly where you mean)and back down to Pett Level Rd?
Posters again. Has anyone done the houses from Pett Level going up Fairlight Rd towards Fairlight? If not, could we get those done b4 the road gets closed off as Misty is more likely to be seeen up there if it's got no traffic.

2013-07-31 01:56 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks Rene. I did give out some posters at the village fete and the 2 Sawyers & the Royal Oak have posters inside and outside (they were both very helpful) It's very important to get posters through letterboxes in the houses up Pett Rd and Chick Hill asap .. we can do laminated ones when we have them.

2013-07-30 19:05 Rene

Hi to all,forgot to say yesterday that i gave a poster to someone who said he would put it up in the Royal Oak pub in Pett village.Have not done any postering today as we have run out of laminated posters hopefully Bob will print and laminate some more tonight so that we can poster the areas that Gina has suggested,weather permitting Bob and Rene xx

2013-07-29 21:20 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks Ali. It's always hard work postering especially as we are all working. Just grateful for anything you can do!
Bob and Rene did Westfield originally and I did some not long ago, but I haven't seen that many there. As Misty's been there before it would be good for us to check there's enough.
I think we are all in for a busy week of work so will do what we can when possible :)

my base is in Westfield so will post as and when I get back there. Won't promise it will be done in one swoop but will post when possible

2013-07-29 20:44 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Well done Rene, that's really good work. I went late afternoon, on the way I saw a road surfacing crew on Fairlight Rd (delays there now, best to use Pett Rd-Chick Hill route to the loos!) so stopped and spoke to them.. lovely 'gangleader' who owns a springer and was very sympathic. I was asking about access to toilets and apparently they will be working from beyond the S's Inn along Pett Level Rd so we should still be able to get to the loos if using Pett Rd/Chick Hill, which is lucky! They were happy to take posters and promised to keep a look out for Misty.
I was a bit later than you Rene but I postered all the houses from Smuggler's Inn to the New Beach Cafe and put some laminated ones on the entrances to the nature reserves too.
A lot of people mentioned the sheltie in caravan park, but one of the sightings by the loo was on a Fri when he was not there. Also when she played with dog in garden the owner knew that sheltie too and said it was defo not him.

>>> POSTERS Now we need them in all the houses along Pett Rd down to Chick Hill please. Also it would be good to check that Fairlight, Guestling, Icklesham and Westfield still have posters (some will hv gone or be very weatherbeaten I'm sure)
If anyone goes to Camber for a day out perhaps they would take some over there too.
Was glad to hear you had a call, that means posters are working. Let's hope another sighting comes in soon as we want to know where and what time Misty is out and about! If anyone sees her on a regular basis please ask them to put food out for her to see if we can keep her in the area.
Pleased that there are so many positives this week. Thanks to all who are helping. I'm working all this week now so may not be able to go down to the loos but I will try. I'll check for updates on here (if temperamental computer allows!)

Forgot to add, Bob or Rene, if you do get any calls about sighting, then send me a text straightaway and i'll do my best to get straight down there, as sometimes posting on here there can be a delay before we see it, and if anyone does see her and calls you straightaway, maybe ask if they can get a pic on their mobile as that would be brilliant for you to see her again and get 100% confirmation that it is Misty.

2013-07-29 20:20 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh well done Rene and family. That's alot of postering done today. Not had chance to get back down there yet, as I have been 'mums taxi' today and catching up on stuff here. Will do my best to get back down again this week though.

2013-07-29 20:14 ALI

gosh sounds like you've been busy - well done.........I have a busy week but if I get the chance to pop down I will or perhaps one evening. Good to see you both yesterday and the rest of team misty xx

2013-07-29 19:38 Rene

Hi to all who are following Misty`s page,just to let you know that myself ,daughter in law and grandaughter have been out this afternoon putting up posters all along the road to Winchelsea Beach,popped posters into Suttons fish shop halfway along the straight,The Ship Inn,outside the Coop on the noticeboard,Pub 31 as well as the caravan park Winchelsea sands and Rye Bay.We also walked along sea wall and the footpath opposite the toilets and into some fields before walking back to the loos and speaking to people as we walked.Got a call when i got home from someone who saw the posters just to let us know that there was a sheltie living at the caravan park and that maybe we had mistaken him for Misty,but explained to her that Misty had been tracked in the area.She said that she would keep an eye out for her,at least the posters have resulted in a few more calls.Just hope the next one is the one saying she has been found!Thanks again for everybodys help yesterday xx

2013-07-29 11:43 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Successful bbq and good company. We handed out posters to all the dog walkers that passed and many more. Rene, Ali and Springermad went further along the seafront to give others posters while Bob and my hubby manned the bbq. Jeni kept an eye open on the toilet area and walked some of the area that Tiga had tracked, thanks Jeni. Very busy at the toilets and very fast traffic too.
Bob had a call from a resident who lives on the seafront saying that Misty was playing with his dog on several occasions at the beginning of summer before the weather changed so it seems she's been in the area before or possibly for some time. He tried to befriend her but she wouldn't have it. The dog at the caravan park was known to him and he said that it definitely was not him.
Such a shame there had not been any posters in the area at that time. This goes to show the importance of JB's advice to poster 'ahead' of Misty.
I went down early and put more posters along the Pett Level Rd but some of the laybys hv nothing to attach them to. Also put some on the steps leading up to the sea wall until I ran out of time and had to go bk to meet everyone for the bbq.

We need to make sure that all the houses along Pett Rd down to Chick Hill have posters through their letter boxes as there's probably more than one who feeds the foxes and Misty may be finding food that way. These houses also have a good view over the valley. If you would post on here where the posters hv bn put it would save us doing anything twice.
Is there anyone else who is local that would be able to help us with this please?

If there is anyone reading this who has seen Misty at ANY time, please leave a comment or ring the numbers above to let us know where and when as it would be a great help. Thanks.

Can't thank Springermad, Ali and Jeni enough for all there help. Well done!

Well all we can say is thank you all for coming down and helping, We did pop in the Smugglers and found they did have a poster but they were more than happy to put one up in there porch/front door and have some leaflets and card size laminated ones to hand out.We found them more than helpful and spoke to one or two of there customers, one of which are people from the caravan site behind the smugglers. PS I note that if any one likes acoustic Guitar, they have one playing this Wednesday evening! Thanks to all Bob and Rene.

2013-07-28 20:27 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Evening all. What a lovely afternoon! Thank you so much Bob and Rene for the bbq. Bertie thoroughly enjoyed himself too! Great to see everyone, and I feel it was a most productive and enjoyable time for all.

2013-07-28 17:14 Silver 2

No Worries Silver I am in Wales but am praying for Misty and all our other precious four legged friends to come home where they belong updated my profile to avoid confusion.

2013-07-28 10:16 Rene

Hi Riverlady the areas she was sighted and tracked were at the public toilets at Pett Level and also in Pett village which is at the top of Chick Hill. Hope this is the information you needed. Bob and Rene

2013-07-28 09:32 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

We can buy hot and cold drinks from that cafe on the beach, as they have been really helpful to us in the last week.

2013-07-28 09:29 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Riverlady - the most recent sightings and where we are focussing on at the moment are PETT LEVEL BEACH and PETT LEVEL VILLAGE if that helps.

2013-07-28 09:26 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all,well done Ali and Jeni for bog watch last night in that horrible weather. Was thinking of you whilst at work. Looking forward to this afternoon. I have paper plates, and sausages and bacon. Best remember the knife this time, poor Bob having to gnaw raw sausages apart tee hee ! Is it ok to bring my dog? See you around 3 then.

2013-07-28 09:16 DogLostRiverlady

circulating on twitter as #Guestling #Hastings are there any specific placnames of sightings?

2013-07-28 09:16 Bob

Good Morning all,Rene and would like to thank every one for all there continued help. As Clarkey said on page we will be down at approx: at Three '0' Clock with a stand up Barb'y and bring as much as possible to start it all off and will happy to see anyone who is interested in the Dog Lost cause and our Misty.We could not believe our eyes when we saw how much had been added to Mistys site ! We was only out of area for about twelve hours and Misty's viewings has jumped from approx: 20,500 to this mornings of 21,000+ We will see whoever passes by while we make sniffs to hopefully encourage a sighting of our much missed Misty once again Thank you to all involved with our little Girl Bob and Rene.

2013-07-27 23:34 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Well done Ali & Jeni for sitting the storms out. Not a pleasant night at all. Thanks for going and I too hope Misty was holed up. With any luck that means she will be more likely to come out tomorrow!

2013-07-27 22:56 ALI

Very quiet bog watch 2 night..... Had a walk round where misty was tracked to. No sign of anything of any interest just lots of rain, thunder, lightening, rabbits and a token rat. We came to the conclusion misty would be sensibly curled up somewhere out of the storms. We had to head home or frankie would be crossing his legs. Oh well tomorrows another day for team misty

2013-07-27 21:04 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi silver. Thanks for yr support on here! I hope you are right. Misty has been on the run for a very long time now. These new sightings have been so encouraging for Bob, Rene and all her followers.
Time used well today. Started at Pett Village Fete 1.30pm & met so many lovely people (too many to mention you all!) Thanks to Ray & Jeanette Bardon who will put posters in Village Hall and told me about Pettnet. I'll email photo to them to use. Also met lady fm hse opp loos, thanks to her too! Special thanks to Lesley who had posters there already & spread the word. Gave out lots of A5 posters to visitors. Had to drag myself away from the gorgeous cakes, tea, stalls, dog show to go to the loos! Wonderful show and such a great community. We appreciate the interest and help.
Stayed at loos until heavens opened & in dire need of a drink! Went to Winchelsea Beach Cafe, did some posters on the way. Owner (who I met at 11pm last night!) will put posters up in cafe. Great food there (open 7 days a wk till 4pm) and kind owners too!
Back to the loos, then went to see sheltie owner at caravan pk. They will leave on Sun so will be no sheltie there :( Please do not go to caravan as manager will not appreciate it. (I hv permission to check if I am there)
Spoke to householder next to loos (garden backs on the toilet block) to explain our continued presence there! They do not hv a dog so the barking reported is not from there. Have bn told it may come fm houses behind caravan park when someone lets their dog out in garden. (Barking has bn heard at 11pm'ish)
Thunderstorms while we were sitting at loos again! Stayed until 7pm. No sign of Misty but more posters given out to passers by.
Spk to Ali who was about to go down. Hoping storms ease up for her and Jeni's shift!
One thing of concern is that the road is going to be closed for up to 4 days. Winchelsea Cafe owner says fm 5th Aug but it may be sooner. Diversions to A259. I may ring E Sx Highways to check and see exectly how people living there will get to and fro. I may become a temporary resident!!
Last but not least:
BBQ tomorrow afternoon from around 3pm. Bob has been voted to be chief cook! Will be on the beach by sea wall nearest to the toilets. Lots of good aromas to try and attract Misty! See you there Bob, Rene, Ali & Jeni, Springermad, Lesley and anyone else who will help in searching and spreading the word. (Pls bring small contribution of food/drink if poss. Thanks) I will bring some posters for anyone who wants them.

~~~~ I need to stress we are NOT trying to catch Misty at this time. We need to see where she is coming and going from. If we find this out we can set up a feeding station. Then if she visits this regularly we will get the dogtrap (Bob & Ren very kindly donated a new one for Doglost use) to catch her.
So if you see Misty please WATCH her and note where she has come from and is going to. Any sightings can be reported on this page.
Just a thought .. Bob and Rene do not use Facebook. Is there anyone who would be willing to set up a page for Misty? They would hv to be admin on it & check it/post on it very regularly so it's likely to be rather time consuming. Any takers?

MISTY: All of us are trying to find out where you are hiding. Please show yourself so we can get you home.

2013-07-27 18:45 ALI

Ok agent Ali and Jeni logging in for operation BOG WATCH!! will report later

2013-07-27 18:39 silver

Have been following Misty's trail on this site and was surprised to find previous post from "Silver" - must be another Silver as I am Silver Buckinghamshire!!! Doesn't matter I echo the sentiment exactly and wish for Misty's safe return. I know of JB and Tiga's wonderful work (helped with Tripp search). I feel confident you are all nearing the end of the journey and Misty's safe return!! Good luck with your search - don't envy you having to loiter round the loos! Envy you all living in that beautiful part of the country.

2013-07-27 18:37 Lesley

Lovely to meet Clarkey this afternoon, handed out some leaflets and have spread the word.
What time is bbq tomorrow as hope to join you all and hope to spot Misty.

2013-07-27 18:17 Silver 2

I am praying that you find your darling girl good luck to you all xx

2013-07-27 16:46 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Forgot to add, that the residents in Pett Level have been amazing, each time I have gone down there. Friendly, approachable and eager to help. What a lovely place to live and what nice people!

Afternoon all, just catching up on events over the last 24 hours, and seems we have a great team of people all wanting to get involved which is brilliant. Hopefully someone will spot something on 'bog watch'. Good luck for anyone in the area tonight and hope to catch up at the bbq tomorrow.

2013-07-27 12:24 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thank you Lesley. I am off down there now and then on to the toilets! Hoping to get the word around at the dog show/fete so locals are more aware.

2013-07-27 11:58 Lesley

We live next door to Bob and Rene and have been wishing for her safe return.
I walked my friends 2 Shelties at pett level yesterday hoping I would see Misty but spoke to few people who said they would keep a look out for her.
Today there is a dog show at Pett along with the fete and so we are taking some posters, maybe somone will have some information.
Hurry up and come home safely Misty.

Please would anyone who is on Twitter and/or Facebook tweet and share this page's link? We want to get the word out there and hopefully have more sightings reported. Am spending a bit of time sharing on Fbk (if it doesn't do the usual and crash my computer!) .. lots of shares from the posts on Doglost South East (seen by 2,700 people!)

Police rang me last night. Winchelsea Beach Cafe owner found a dog & cldn't get hold of the dog warden, although they said it wasn't Misty I went to get it as chap cld not take it home. Got there & the owner had turned up! Lovely whippet so happy ending. Nice to know the owner of Cafe is a doglover and happy to help us if need be. He'd stayed for 2 hrs to look after the dog, bless him. (He also has a petshop in Tonbridge) I will go to see him armed with posters today and thank him for his care. Would be lovely if Misty found the cafe too! We stopped at the loos which were still open (11pm) and looked and listened for a while, but hubby falling asleep so took him home! Left a few bisuits & I will see if those have been eaten later today. Let's hope for another sighting (or 2!) today so we get another step closer to having Misty reunited.

Just got back from Pett Toilet watch! well watch for the elusive Misty and a wander round the area.I got down there at about five twenty and there was a fair light show out at sea with the lightning and thunder.I meet a couple of people and handed out some leaflets. Bob

2013-07-26 22:49 Bob

Evening To everyone, Rene and I have been down to Pett Level; tonight after work at about seven thirty. We took our Lucy who use to play with Misty who did a couple of laps up and down the foot path and along the sea wall plus along the track by the canal. She left a fair few sent's along the way. Then we sat and watched by the loo's until about fifteen mins: ago after it got dark. But did not see our girl tonight, but the road was busy. I will try to nip down there at first light and watch for a while. Just to say to Clarkey and JB, Barny's owner did not seem to be around so afraid no speak! I will try in the morning if I can.Thanks for all your help Bob and Rene.

2013-07-26 22:38 ALI

I will be there sunday for the bbq and will bring 'something' unlike last time when I turned up empty handed.....thank goodness for Bob, Rene and springermad being more organised. Jeni (my daughter) is keen to go saturday evening after she finished work at 7 o/c so I will try and take her then to see if we can see Misty at all. I have text Rachel (lady who lives opposite) to ask her daughters to clarify exactly what they have seen/heard when and where. Ali

2013-07-26 21:01 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Bob and Rene are going to Pett level this evening. As Ali and Springermad are working this weekend I will try my best to go for a time. Bob: please would you let me know if you postered the houses along the track opposite the toilets (next to the canal) and whether you were able to find out if the loos are open all night. Thanks. We are arranging a bbq on the beach by the sea wall next to caravan park on Sunday afternoon unless we can find a better place nearer to the loos. I have informed the police that we will be staking out the area and they will let the local officers know. Hoping the storms will not put Misty off staying in the area. Come on little girl, we need to see you for ourselves and then we can get you home.

2013-07-26 17:16 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh thanks Jayne! Thought i was in trouble!!!

Pinking is usually someone pressing the wrong button! will reinstate...

2013-07-26 17:05 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Ooh, I see I have been 'pinked' below? I can't remember what I said, but I don't think it was anything bad!
JB - good idea about some kind of rota 'look-out' down there. I should be there for the bbq on sunday and possibly a couple of eve's next week.

2013-07-26 15:41 Rene

Hi everyone just got in from work,we will be going up to Pett this evening as soon as Bob finishes work.Can`t believe we have a definite sighting after all this time but are feeling really positive about this one as there have been quite a few sightings in the last couple of weeks. We won`t be able to do much tomorrow as we have other commitments but we will be back up there on sunday if anyone else is free to help. Thanks again for all your help Bob and Rene xx

2013-07-26 08:59 Tiga

Does anyone know if the toilets are open at night - could she be sheltering in them - they would be cool. Although Tiga did not take us to either door but the smell could have masked the scent and what with the busy road so close.

2013-07-26 08:54 Tiga

Now is the time to close in on Misty and perhaps a rota of availability of anyone willing and able to spend time in this area would be the way forward. It appears that especially the afternoons and night seem to be a priority. The owners are stressed with family issues and would appreciate any help available. I have suggested Bob contact Trevor at the Kennels where she escaped from as I feel they should show some responsibility for her going missing in the first place.

2013-07-26 08:43 Bob

Morning All, Just to say I will have a good few A5 leaflets which I am taking with me to Brede ( At Work ) if any one wants you have my numbers as I am on office and billing duty ! Bob

2013-07-26 02:10 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Ok .. so have at last managed to get back online and read all the comments from this evening. JB I am not sure I am up for bbq by toilets! If there is somewhere near that Misty could get to then yes, but by the toilets and that horrible road would not be my idea of fun!! So am wondering if Misty's is being spotted as she crosses the road to go back to beach/caravan area or if she just likes the loos??!! I'm also working tomorrow bu will see if I can go up there later. Ali did your friends mention what sort of time they heard the barking?

2013-07-25 22:54 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

we might improve the smell!

Forgot to add, the same family said they have heard night time barking coming from the toilet area too.

2013-07-25 22:53 Tiga

How well do you know the family - is there room to have a BBQ in their front garden?

2013-07-25 22:51 Tiga

Have leaflets been dropped in the houses on the track between the footpath to beach and the toilets. The toilets must back onto them. We spoke to the owner of the first house and left a poster.
I forgot to say Tiga also found and took us on the footpath to the left past the toilets that went left upwards and to Fairlight. Here believe it or not it rained and Tiga lost the scent.

2013-07-25 22:50 ALI

I agree bbq by the toilets..... we really would look suspicious but i'm up for it. JB I know the family opposite -only found out tonight happy to text mum to clarify exact info from daughters

2013-07-25 22:44 Tiga

I think a BBQ outside the toilets would be a better bet!

2013-07-25 22:42 Tiga

Thanks SpringerMad - so outside toilets Friday afternoon, Tuesday 4-5ish and 2 weeks ago 1.30 ish. Pett Village over weekend at night. So anyone with spare afternoons and wants to loiter..... feel free,

2013-07-25 22:38 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

As far as we know it was the afternoon of Friday. not got an exact time. An orange and white dog, not filthy, quite clean looking, was the daughter's description.

We are planning a bbq on sunday afternoon down on the beach to see if that brings any further developments.

2013-07-25 22:37 Tiga

Bob it might also be worth checking out where Tiga was spooked this morning in the undergrowth. Later on he did go along that path as far as the 2nd cleared bit by the river.

2013-07-25 22:35 Tiga

Ali do we know what time of day this sighting was?

2013-07-25 22:34 Tiga

Ali if this was Friday it is the third sighting of her running in the road outside the toilets. We did not speak to anyone that lived opposite who had seen her only a family with a ridgeback and they had not seen her but would look out. Bob this could be where you will be taking Rene for a night out or even an afternoon picnic!

2013-07-25 22:30 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh but Ali, going into the mens toilets is way beyond the call of duty. Perhaps we could get George Michael down to do it, or Hugh Grant tee hee

2013-07-25 22:25 ALI

didn't think about then mens loo's - should have sent Steve in there......if not done by sunday I will be brave and go in.......oh the joys of district nursing - nothing phases me!!!!!!

2013-07-25 22:22 ALI

I put a few posters up as we drove slowly home along chick hill but it was getting really dark. Went as far as the Two Sawyers but it's a long road and plenty of chances of more posters being put up. There is also a post office up there where it would be good to ask them to display for us too. Feel optimistic we are getting nearer to re-uniting Misty with Bob and Rene. Will be logging on to check news daily and happy to meet up on sunday if that is the plan

2013-07-25 22:22 Bob

That sounds like a job for ...,; ? Clarkey I was going to say more about reading your paper xx no I mean Posters! Ah' SpringerMad and Ali by pub do you mean the two soyers or the Oak ? or should I try both first or after. Once again thanks for all the help from all of you Bob and Rene.
PS I fear the loo jokes could trickle on a bit!

2013-07-25 22:18 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Yeah and you won't get me walking into one of those for love nor money!

2013-07-25 22:09 Tiga

Haha Owl - couldn't agree more - I left it to Clarkey to go inside to put posters up! Bob - the ladies have been postered but not the men's!

2013-07-25 22:06 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Owl, yes I agree, we have been laughing at all this 'meeting at the toilets' behaviour going on between us! We must look a right dodgy lot!!

2013-07-25 22:05 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Evening all, Just got back from an evening postering session. Met up with Ali tonight and together we started at the toilets and went along to Chick hill postered up there to the point on the right where Tiga turned off down the track to the houses where you spoke to people today who had seen Misty. Postered along the track, crossed the little bridge over the stream and back down to the bottom of Chick Hill. We have spoken to a family who live opp the toilets. they saw the dog running in the road last Friday afternoon. People had a rope and were trying to catch it. This could be one of the people you have spoken to. The light was beginning to fade so that was it for tonight.

Areas which still need postering are from the pub in Pett village at the top of Chick down to the area where the posters start again.

We are now out of A4 posters and have no laminated ones between us. The A4 laminated ones are the best ones at the moment so if we could have some of those it would be great.

Both Ali and myself are out of action now until sunday for active helping, but we will keep checking here for updates. I think a reunion of this little lady is not far away now!

2013-07-25 21:47 DogLostOwl

Brilliant work! I suggest that if anyone involved in the search does intend to stake out the loos for any length of time they call 101 and let the police know why they are there, so they don't get reported for acting suspiciously.

2013-07-25 21:47 Bob

Rene and I would like to thank Jenny and Tiga, Clarkey, SpringerMad and Ali very much for all their hard work in all that they have done. It would be handy to know where the posters have gone so we can add but not going over the same ground.here is fingers crossed for the next sighting and to try to encourage her back home. We would like to thank the people that rung Bob with info: today. Many Thanks Bob and Rene.

2013-07-25 21:11 Tiga

Just got home and Tiga & I fed and watered. Tiga is very tired from today with the heat but he is sure that Misty is in Pett Level. We tracked from the last sighting and Tiga picked up the scent along the seafront going down some steps to holiday lets but not all. So Springermad has postered these houses. We then went into the caravan park and to the caravan of another sheltie which has confused sightings but each time it has been proved that this Sheltie is not the same as has been sighted. We think Misty is looking for a boyfriend! We also tracked up Chick Hill and across the fields and back onto Chick Hill higher up - sorry Clarkey! En route we spoke to several people and handed out posters, two of which said they had seen this dog, one was 2 weeks ago in exactly the same place as the sighting 2 days ago and the other in Pett Village over the weekend which is just at the top of Chick Hill. So it all ties in with where Tiga has tracked and the sightings. It now remains for the whole area to be postered and door to door drops so that the next sighting that comes in is a recent one and not 2 weeks after. This confirms the need to poster ahead and not after the horse has bolted but I do believe that Misty is 'hanging around' this area. There are a lot of holiday lets and so the turnover of different people throughout the holiday season is another reason for the area to be regularly postered so that everyone knows about Misty. They seem to know about the other Sheltie lets get them all to know about Misty. If anyone likes hanging around public toilets two of the sightings were outside these leading onto a footpath through to the caravan park and the sea front.

2013-07-25 20:33 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Had a great day of tracking with JB. Tiga worked well and we found a couple of other people who have seen Misty. I will leave it to JB update you with the details.
Bob: lots and lots of postering needed now please. Ali and Springermad have started doing the area and will probably do more if they get the chance. It's up to you to get posters through doors as soon as possible. The more posters out there the more likely it is that you will get news of sightings.
>>> Ali and Springermad: Thank you so much for your help with posters. Perhaps you would both keep updating where you have postered so we don't do anywhere twice!
Many thanks!
There will hopefully be more sightings coming in now that the area is being postered, but we need to keep the momentum up please Bob.
Misty: Keep showing yourself and we will get you home as soon as we can!

Back from Pett Level. Have started postering from near the toilets, and towards the Winchelsea Beach end along the main road. Need to return and head out the other way toward Fairlight. Met Clarkey, Jenny and darling Tiga before they set off. They'll no doubt give an update on their return. I did meet a lovely lady who stopped her car to see what I was postering. She saw a different dog (more than likely) to the sighting on Monday. This was a whitish, medium haired dog possibly slighly bigger than a springer up at Fryers Way Fairlight, near an alleyway to the Fire Hills? between 1 and 3pm Wed. The dog was panicking and running around. Had a faun wide leather collar. Was filthy dirty with either dirt or grey chest. She was unable to catch hold of it. This info is just incase anyone has lost a dog of similar description. The lady drives through the area alot and will be keeping an eye out for Misty and has taken a poster of her details, so thank you, whoever you are, much appreciated!

2013-07-25 08:23 ALI

yes please do xx

2013-07-25 08:10 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi Ali is it ok with you that I get your mobile number from Clarkey, then text you with mine?

2013-07-25 08:02 ALI

unlikely to get to area this morning - will wait to hear results of tracking and plan my next visit......really hope the morning is productive

2013-07-25 06:25 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

ok

2013-07-25 00:06 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Yes, it's a very 'patchy' signal area but you can get some reception on higher ground. I'll try to text our plans b4 we get there.

2013-07-24 23:02 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Evening, just got back from taking the dog for a walk at Pett Level. Remember there is little or no signal down there tomorrow, I only got your text Clarkey when I got near to home, so a bit late to contact Bob now. I forgot I have a grocery delivery between 8 and 9 in the morning so won't be free until after that. I think I shall just have to drive down and hope to bump into you as we won't have signal to liaise.

2013-07-24 22:27 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Printer working overtime and am getting ready for tomorrow. Will be meeting up with JB in morning. I will have posters with me if anyone wants some and Bob has lots of laminated ones too.
Thanks Ali & Springermad for postering, searching today.

2013-07-24 18:12 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Just done a detour down to Pett Level on our way home. Saw your posters Ali, well done! We got out at the smugglers carpark and had a walk about. Didn't see anything, but could have done with a pair of binoculars really, as lots of doggies running about along the beach in the distance. We didn't have posters as it was a spur of the moment little look, to get the logistics of the area.

2013-07-24 17:40 Tiga

Not sure of time yet but all being well - early! The early bird catches the ...........!

2013-07-24 16:15 ALI

Jeni and I have spent the day at the area. Spoke to Bob who kindly guided us to the right place as we had no mobile signal to check this website/emails. Apparently there is a Sheltie at the caravan park but Bob has seen this and taken a photo of it. The Sheltie sighted yesterday was scruffy and barking. Saw nothing major today but were able to put posters up we had in our possession but more needed. Gave one to the lifeboat station who said they were happy to display.....they also mentioned the Sheltie at the caravan park. Walked down a lane opposite the toilets and through to another grassy area - had water supply, shade and loads of big fat bunnys!! - left a poster there and also at Mallydams as well - did not have one for the pub but be worth paying a visit. I too have a good feeling about this sighting xx

2013-07-24 12:38 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Jenny, any idea of time you will be down there tomorrow? Am not 100% sure of my movements yet, but was thinking I may be able to pass by Bob and Rene's and pick up some of their laminated posters and put them up whilst you are tracking the area. Won't know until tonight though.

2013-07-24 12:32 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Just been on google earth to establish exactly where this sighting is. I suppose we need to double check there is not a similar dog staying in the caravan site? Or maybe the lady who saw the dog is from the site and could confirm this for us?
So hoping this is misty, wouldn't it be great!

2013-07-24 11:33 DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent

This is great news and everything's crossed for an early reunion. My lot are routing for her. x

2013-07-24 11:10 Tiga

I am taking Tiga down tomorrow morning - please Misty its time to show yourself to Tiga. I have a good gut feeling about this sighting. Is this where we first tracked Misty?

2013-07-24 11:06 Safedog Crash Tested Car CratesBaggy Dog

Always great to see positive news about the dogs I'm following. Really hope she's in the blue soon, fingers tightly crossed.

2013-07-24 10:12 Jo

Bob and Rene, I have everything crossed for you! x

2013-07-24 09:40 ALI

Clarkey have sent you a private facebook message with my mobile number. ALi

2013-07-24 09:36 Lorraine

Keeping fingers and toes tightly crossed! X

2013-07-24 06:50 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Ahhh ..thanks Bob! Pett Level's a long road and I was trying to think of loos and caravan parks!! So that's between the bottom of Pett Rd and The Smuggler's Inn (which I know!) Hope you gave them a poster and slappped plenty up around the loos/caravans. That's even closer to home .. if Misty went along Pett Rd she'd almost be home! I wonder how many times she's done this triangle/circle of hers? Have you done any mapping as we suggested ..wld be interesting to see. I have absolutely everything crossed that it's her. (Still having probs with internet or my computer so text/ring if anything important happens please)

2013-07-24 04:57 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, thanks Bob and Clarkey for your emails. This is exciting, and yes we need to get the posters up all around that area. I need to check on a map and see exactly where you mean. I have some commitments going on at the moment, but will certainly give what time I can, especially as this sounds promising. Ali, clarkey would like your number if possible, so if you are happy for Bob to hand it over then Team Misty is pretty well co-ordinated incase we need to dash off out after a sighting.
I do hope this is her!

2013-07-24 02:38 Bob

Thanks for all the comments, Just to add ( Dogs Hill ) is Winchelsea Beach ) and The poss: sighting of Misty was Pett Level, just close to the toilets, which is just along from the Chick Hill road towards Winchelsea Beach on the right, and going in the gate way just in the corner and going out to the beach. Thanks for all the help Bob and Rene.

2013-07-23 22:44 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks Sue for bumping page.
Oh wow! That's exciting news .. let's hope it is her. I assume you mean Dog Hill as that's the only place down there I can think of that has toilets. I will go and have a look around if I get the chance. Have you put some new DL posters up in the caravan park and in the rest of the area? Let me know if poss please. Fingers crossed it's her and she shows herself again.

>> Ali that would be a great help and I think we should also expect her to move around the area. She has been at Fairlight before and she could be trying to make her way home in the same way as she left, if you see what I mean. Pretty certain she went from Rock Lane, through old bridleway (now closed) called Pug Alley, up Martineau Rd direction and on to Fairlight, as she was seen at Broad St., Icklesham and Fairlight. So Bob hopefully will make sure there are lots and lots of posters out there now.

Fingers tightly crossed for you :-)

2013-07-23 22:02 B30

Misty's page bumped. Good luck Rene and Bob, I hope this is your girl

2013-07-23 21:36 Bob

Evening to all our helpers, we had a surprise phone call from a lady who saw a dog fitting Mistys picture late this afternoon at Pett Level close to the toilets and going of to the left and of towards the caravan park. This is only about a quarter of a mile from where she was bred if she follows the walk ways along the cliff! We have been in to see the people where she came from who will keep a watch out and would just love to find her for us. We will keep you all posted if and when there is more news ( Fingers Crossed ) many thanks for all your help Bob and Rene.

2013-07-19 20:33 Rene

Hi to everyone who is still helping in our search for Misty!Its now ten months since she went missing we still miss her terribly and will not give up searching for her. It would be nice to get another sighting so that we know in what area she is as we still believe she is still out there somewhere. We have noticed the new posters that have been put up so thanks to the person that has done that for us. We will try and swap some of the others with the new ones just to let people know she is still missing. Bob and Rene

2013-07-10 18:08 ALI

lovely to meet you guys too - learnt a lot from 'team misty' Look forward to another evening in due course this time I'll be more organised on what I need to bring. Hope Clarkey will be able to join us too xx

2013-07-10 07:42 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, a most enjoyable evening and lovely to meet some other members of 'Team Misty'. Although we did not get a sighting, towards the end of the evening, we have located an area close to the last place she was seen, which has a source of water, and we shall be returning for another bbq/search in the next couple of weeks.

2013-07-10 06:59 Bob

Good Morning to everyone, Rene and myself would like to thank SpringerMad and Ali and her daughter for giving up the time and trouble to go with us to walk some of the woods, starting from appxox: middle of Ellenwhore Lane going up and down towards Broad oak. It took a fair while to find a safe place to have a barbi which we did for an hour or so and spreading some bacon and sausages around, waiting for the light to go before leaving at nearly eleven. Once again thanks to everyone for there continued help Bob and Rene.

2013-07-08 08:23 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Ok bob, text me this evening and let me know where and when. A couple of long term missing dogs living feral have been reunited over the last few days, so that is very positive.

2013-07-07 19:46 Bob

Hi to all, Just to say I have rung and left a message for the guy that saw Misty last who knows the land owner/tenant! so if he does not call me by lunch time tomorrow I will try to find him. Once again Many thanks to all for your help Bob and Rene

2013-07-05 08:54 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

ok bob, will text you later. Ali, if you do the same perhaps, then Bob can be 'chief co-ordinator'! Hope you enjoy your daughter's birthday weekend, and hopefully meet up tues.

2013-07-05 08:32 Bob

Hi to all, Tuesday night looks fine to us. I will try to find out who is in control of the wooded area from the guy who spotted Misty at that wood. Many thanks to all for your continued help, could SpringerMad give me a ring on my mobile for me to tie up exactly where and about times etc: Many Thanks Again Bob and Rene

2013-07-05 06:50 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Mon or tues suit me too. Anyone else like to join us? Even if we have a scout around the location, possibly do a bbq in that 'pull off' bit if nowhere else. These good summer evenings are our ideal time for a watch.

2013-07-04 15:07 ALI

As you know we spent time in Ellenwhorne lane on tuesday evening travelling from the B2089 - we pulled into a layby near the lowest point but this was on the left hand side. Had my daughter with me who is home from uni and she looked as we drove very slowly back up the lane once it was dark. Happy to join you guys in the search.....I am busy this weekend with Jen's 21st birthday but could do mon or tues evening then we are not around for a week - let me know what you think

2013-07-04 08:25 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

No problem Bob, I will take a look on google earth to see exactly where it is, but I think I know where you mean. I shall be working nights over the weekend, but from sun to thurs next week I could do pretty much any evening. Let's see when Ali can make it and try to get an eve to meet up.

2013-07-04 08:01 Bob

Morning to all, In answer to SpringerMad, Misty was last seen down Elnwhore Lane ( going from the B2089 road approx: half to three quarters of a mile as the road drops to about its lowest point on the right there is a bit of a pull off with first a field looking across to a wood ) that's where she was seen! When you look at the land from there to Broad oak it is more or less woods all the way back to where Jenny and Tigar tracked her. Pleas feel free to contact me on my mobile for any info. This week I am a bit stuck time wise as we are one guy down at work and a bit up to our necks! its the week end before I can do much other than talk on the mobile. Thanks for all your help Bob and Rene.

2013-07-03 08:22 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Ok, I am not 100% sure exactly which part of the woods it is, so if it is private land, I expect we need to ask permission. If it is Brede High Woods or whatever it is called, (the woods further along chitcombe road from Broad Oak cross roads), I presume that would be ok? Certainly to search, but not sure about permission to bbq. Even if we burnt a few sausages in the carpark, the smell will travel. Maybe Clarkey could advise us.

2013-07-03 07:59 Bob

Hi, Thanks for the offers of help. Barby sounds like a good plan? To do that I imagine we need to ask the land owner? I understand that the last seen place is where the shoot dear and rabbits and that who ever has the rights pays? so do we need to seek permission? I can possibility find out who that is if that is not known?
Once again thanks for your continued help, Bob and Rene.

2013-07-03 07:17 ALI

springerMad - I'm up for that if it fits in with other commitments.

2013-07-03 07:05 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Would there be any use in having a bbq/evening search along by those woods? Am happy to meet up and do one? I think, as people say, she will only be out and about at night/dawn and could be our chance of a sighting?

2013-07-02 22:18 ALI

Took a drive out tonight at dusk to see if we could see anything of this lovely girl. We drove along the Chitcombe Road - stopped off at Brede woods then went on to Ellenwhorne lane. Sat in a lay-by for sometime whilst it got dark but sad to say nothing was seen tonight - happy to go again if required or do anything else that will enable Misty to be re-united with you. Ali

2013-07-02 08:14 Bob

PS. Just to say I did get hold of the dog warden late last night and she look up what has been in etc: They only have a Husky at the moment in that area ! She said she would keep checking. Many Thanks Bob.

2013-07-02 08:00 Bob

Morning to all, Thanks to Clarkey for the help last night, and just to say that I/ We have a few of the Dog Lost A4 Laminated Posters done and ready if you would like them? Many Thanks Bob and Rene.

Hi Bob, Thanks for your call this evening. I chatted with couple of people of the Fbk page that posted about the dog loose on the Ridge, but they said it was a very small dog so am pretty certain it's not Misty.
>>> Aussie Hi and I will get those posters to you! Totally failed so far what with lots of other DL things going on. Not sure when, but will call by yours and if you are out will just leave posters in bag for you. Thanks for your help.
>> Eris Thanks for your comments. Never realised you used to have Shelties! Misty is one of the first dogs I helped with and so far Bob has had no luck getting her home, but there have been lots of confirmed sightings. We think she's in the woods off Chitcombe Road, Broad Oak/Brede area still and as living feral now it would explain why no recent sightings.

To everyone else posting on this page thank you for your continuing support for Bob and Rene who have never and will never give up. As for the lady concerned .. Misty please show us where you are, just one little sighting is all we need then JB can get on your trail again.

Hi, Thanks to all for you help and kind comments,as to help there is always need to replace posters as they age and get tatty! I see that Aussie is close to us here? but we know a lot of people by sight but not where thy live.If any one would like to change over or put up new ones feel free to call or text my mobile ( which is always on ) I will answer if I can get to it in time! But as with most of this modern gear it is not fit for its main use, and only rings a few times! so a text will do and if you wish I will call you back re:- posters or what ever! Many thanks to all for continued support, Bob and Rene ( Fourteen Acre Lane )

2013-06-29 18:24 Aussie

If you need any help looking for Misty I live a few doors away from you and I'm happy to help where I can. I have been looking everytime I walk in the fields and when I drive down the lanes. I hope she is found soon safe and well :)

2013-06-28 19:27 DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent

I'll look forward to meeting you. Am in ME1 I have three so a bit unusual. Love to talk to anyone about the breed. They are beautiful although mostly timid with strangers. Mine are from the one breeder in Scotland. They are also very resourceful and can survive on very little. I too am looking for Misty and note the number of people viewing the page. Fantastic coverage.

2013-06-28 09:41 Nora

You don't see many shelties, they are not a common dog, lovely sweet nature dogs, i will be using Erins approach if i see one, i don't have a sheltie, but i just love them. I have always had cavvies i adore them and cannot help accosting anyone with one to coo over it ( I love my springer and border as well)

stay positive, she is chipped, so if the right people are aware she is missing she will turn up.

Last edited: 2013-06-28 09:43:22 by Nora

Eris brilliant approach, good luck.
I well as my own area, I click on anything with a ME postcode (husbands families area) and TN postcode (my family and friends) and as most of them are on facebook i can share.
My sons girlfriend is in Hastings and works at the RSPCA so I will make sure she sees this, if she hasn't already.

Hello,
Just to say I had been unaware of a missing sheltie in the south...(only signed up to follow missing Lizzy and pups,) but as an ex-sheltie owner myself I never miss an oppertunity go up to anyone with a sheltie and strike up conversation about the breed and how lovely it is etc etc... So I will now also make sure I do a very gentle questioning to see how long they have had their dog how old and where they got it etc, ( which are the sort of things you tend to talk about anyway!) I will keep Misty in mind to see if anything might be at all suspicious.

2013-06-20 08:49 Silver 2

Thinking of you and hope and pray there will be news of your darling girl, c'mon Misty mum and dad need you home.

2013-06-19 16:36 Rene

Hello to all just to say still no news on Misty,its been nine months today since our little girl went missing.We can't believe its been that long but we will still keep searching for her in the hope that she will one day be back with us.So many people know that she is still out there somewhere,we just need her to show herself. Thank you all for your kind comments and for keeping a lookout for her. Bob and Rene xx

2013-06-11 20:26 ALI

Completely agree with all the comments.........I look out for her every time I drive through the rural lanes and speak to people about her in the hope we will get another sighting. Yes you have lots of support and if there is anything more we can do please just ask xx

2013-06-08 22:46 Safedog Crash Tested Car CratesBaggy Dog

Glad you still have hope, it must be so difficult. Sooo glad she's microchipped, hoping to see her in blue very soon.

2013-06-08 02:48 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Bob and Rene. I can only imagine how difficult it is for you now, especially as you have not had any sightings for so long. I say to you once again to keep postering, with the new photo on the posters showing people that Misty is still missing, all around the areas you have done before and further. Put posters (you can reduce them to A5 size) through doors in ALL the areas where there have been previous sightings, in shops, on bus stops, in doctor's surgerys, near schools etc. Anywhere that a lot of people are able to see them. Also, please send posters to the vets and rescue centres again so they are also aware that she has not been found yet. KEEP ringing them as well to make sure she has not been handed in .. also check the microchip company to see if anyone has rung them up. The more posters that are up, the more likely you are to have news of a sighting. Now that the weather seems to have changed for the better (dare I say that!) the more likely she is to be seen, although I believe it is more likely to be in the very early hours and at dusk rather than in the daytime. This may be why you haven't had a recent sighting. Have a read down this page and remember how much support you have .. we won't ever give up looking for Misty. Come on Misty .. you really need to show yourself so we can find you. Your mum and dad want you home.

2013-06-07 15:46 Tan

Aww was hoping to see some positive news - I am sure she will show herself someday soon.

2013-06-07 08:33 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, it must be so frustrating when you are searching so hard to find your girl, am still looking, and talking to people who I meet on my walks, as well as checking here everyday. You are not alone in your search to bring her home, We are with you all the way, til you get the news you are hoping for.

2013-06-06 16:56 Rene

Hi to everybody,just to let you know that there has been no sightings for almost 4 months now and its nearly 9 months since she went missing. We are not sure what to do next but still pop up to where she was last seen, the person that saw her has been going there regularly as well but he hasn't seen her either, but we will not give up on her. We just keep hoping that one day we will get her home and thanks to everyone for all your support and help to find our Misty.

I look at this page regularly and keep everything crossed for your little girl. The page has certainly been seen by a lot of people which is great. I admire your dedication and love for Misty. I too would never give up. They do return after a long period.

2013-05-18 20:38 Bob

Just to say we have replaced the posters at Doleham Station gate and on the Rock Lane/Westfield/Three Oaks Cross Roads and had a look around Ellenwhore Lane plus Watch Palace Lane.( But all seemed quirt ! ) Bob and Rene.

2013-05-15 06:40 Bob

Good morning to all, Thank you for all the good thoughts, Come on Girl give a showing, we need to move on in the right direction! we need a chance to check out a good lead! Thanks to all for your help, Bob and Rene

2013-05-14 14:16 ALI

Always keep an eye out as I'm driving around and walking Frankie.....also check this site daily in the hope of news of a sighting....come on Misty it's home time

2013-05-13 09:11 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all,not posted on Misty's page for a while, but just wanted you to know, we are as active as ever in the search for her. Don't give up hope, she is out there somewhere, and as you say, just need that next sighting. Hopefully it is just around the corner.

2013-05-11 10:39 Bob

Hello to all,Sorry to say all has been very quite, and not had any sighting for a couple of months? If she is down in the area that we think, there is not many houses around there, so I / We reckon that if she mainly only wanders dusk and dawn it tends to leave us in the unknown! We just keep hopping for the next sighting! Thanking you all for the help and encouragement, Bob and Rene.

2013-05-04 18:18 Rene

Hi everyone just to say sadly no more sightings since the one about eight weeks ago,we are still going out to the area where she was sighted to search for her when we can but it is such a large area of woodland and fields its difficult to know where to look.Just hoping we will get another sighting soon and thanks everyone for still helping in our search for our Misty. Bob and Rene

2013-04-29 17:14 Carol

Ah good luck to you , come home girl safe xx

Bumped .. new photos and advert in Friday Ad.

2013-04-27 10:27 Bob

Hi, just to say I went down Ellenwhore Lane at about 7-15pm on Wednesday night after work its in about the lowest point with woods and a fair bit of open ground around and no close houses. It was a bit early I think as we think she appears at dusk and dawn? We can only hope that she is hanging around this area as we have not heard of any more sightings since about seven plus weeks,but if no one is about to see her we wont unless we get that chance sighting.It is a shame that with the rain and snow going on when she was sighted it was not possible for JB and Tigar to track and confirm that she was there! But the guy who sighted her knows his dogs and animals well,so as definite as it could be. Many Thanks for every ones help Bob and Rene.

2013-04-26 20:12 ALI

come on lovely girl - show yourself and come home. Was the last sighting at Ellenwhore lane - is that where you visited the other evening?? Really want to hear some good news soon - chin up we are all here to help and support you through this xx

2013-04-26 03:55 Bob

Good Morning To all, Just to say I have now ( fingers Crossed ) sent Gina another Photo That I/We have found which show's her in more of a winter coat! Thanks SpringerMad for the comment I/We hope that this other picture give an Idea of how much the coats change!I went down to The last seen place on Wednesday evening and had a wander and a call etc but all seemed quirt but is was not quite dusk.If that where Misty is hiding its fairly remote and very few houses around! We just keep on looking, many thanks for all your help Bob and Rene.

2013-04-25 09:05 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

morning all, what a beautiful picture! Let's hope that something comes of this.

2013-04-24 01:03 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks for taking those posters down Rene..kennels said they'd taken them down but obviously not. Funnily enough I was thinking that it would be a good idea to have a new photo of Misty on here..would you email me the one you are talking about please Bob. I can put it on here for you. Glad there are new posters going up, if you wait for new photo they will be even more noticable to everyone. Keep your spirits up.. she will show herself soon I hope.

2013-04-22 00:02 Tan

Hope you get some news soon.

2013-04-21 21:31 Bob

Hi to every one, Just to say I /We have printed and laminated up a load more posters with the dog lost symbols on them with all the numbers etc: plus I have found another photo of Misty in more of a winter coat. ( I will try to put on the extra image on the Misty Page). We have been out replacing old tatty posters around our lane plus part of Rock Lane ,Three Oaks Station,and given some posters to Trevor at Rock Lane to put up above where we went to. We also noticed to more of the Pickles posters at Westfield Church Bus Stop and removed them when we were passing. We are just hopping to here of another sighting now, Fingers Crossed! Bob and Rene

2013-04-20 21:31 ALI

am printing a poster that I can put in my car.......and will be out with Frankie on my days off so will keep an eye out. Lets hope the more people who know about her will bring Misty home where she belongs

Thanks Ali for sharing on facebook the more people that know Misty is still missing the better,maybe one day we will get that call saying that she has been found. Went back to where she was last sighted yesterday evening just in case she showed herself but sadly no luck. Have taken posters down for Pickles at Brede,Staplecross road,Brede High Woods and Mill Lane on the Northiam road as well as Watts Palace Lane and Ellenwhore Lane, hope this is a help. Bob and Rene

2013-04-17 21:52 ALI

I work in rural Rother - Battle, Robertsbridge and Burwash and our office is in Westfield so will keep a close eye out for Misty. Also have Frankie who we walk a lot.......have also shared on facebook

2013-04-17 19:50 Rene

Thanks Ali, Misty has been missing for seven months now and as far as we know she is not too far away. She went missing from Rock Lane,Ore she has been sighted and tracked by Jenny and Tiga at Fairlight,Icklesham,Broad Oak she has also been sighted at Westfield and Ellenwhore lane which is between Chitcombe Road and Staplecross, the last sighting being about seven weeks ago.We presume she must be ferrel by now to have survived all this time so we think she is probably only showing herself in the evenings or early mornings which makes it very difficult for her to be seen.We will have to print some more posters and replace some of the old ones as Gina suggested so that everyone knows that Misty is still out there.Thanks everybody for all your help and support Bob and Rene.

2013-04-17 18:46 ALI

lots of correspondence here - can you tell me where she went missing and where/when there's been sightings.....happy to keep an eye out when I'm out with Frankie........only came across DogLost when I helped with Pickles......what an amazing organisation

2013-04-17 17:32 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks Rene .. posters of Misty seen when up on the search with Jenny y'day .. went past one of the places that she was tracked to. Believe me we were so relieved when Pickles was sighted thanks to a poster & then caught this afternoon! Oh my goodness .. the flaming cheek of those people! I hope you gave them what for & I'm glad you reported it to police again. Now we have to get back to the business of finding Misty. Some of the posters were rather faded. I'm also a little concerned they were not Doglost posters. Often people will see the poster, and if they saw Misty would not remember the tel number .. however they wld usually remember it was a Doglost poster, go home and look her up. So perhaps the new ones could be ours please? I now have a laminator thanks to a donation to Doglost from a dog I helped find so will try to do some. WE WILL NOT GIVE UP and this warm weather is definitely going to help. We just need that one valuable sighting. COME ON MISTY .. time you came out in the open!

2013-04-16 17:36 Rene

Hi we have seen all the posters going up the last couple of days and have been keeping our eyes open.Our son lives in Staplecross so will ask him to keep an eye out too,still no more news on Misty she seems to be very good at hiding herself.We havent given up either she must be out there somewhere we are just waiting for that next sighting too.Just to say we have had another call from the scammers trying to sell advertising space, have contacted the police and the bank just in case!!! Bob and Rene

2013-04-16 02:49 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Bob and Rene, Just thought I'd say that there is a big search going on in the area that I now call Misty territory. Pickles went missing in Staplecross but lives in Bexhill, so it's quite possible that someone looking for him may spot Misty. I'm hoping that now the weather seems to be a little kinder that she will be out and about a bit more..as adverts are in Fri Ad there's a good chance someone will see her. We don't give up easily! Misty ..it's time you showed yourself again please! Absolutely everything crossed we get a new sighting.

2013-04-15 08:11 Bob

I/we would like to thank every one for the kind comments for our loss of Toby who has been a good old friend with the the normal old grump or two and very much a bit of a loaner when indoors but loved to chase a ball with the other dogs.This is the first time that we have ever lost a dog over night while he was asleep.We think that is the best way to have him leave us as you do not have to make that horrible decision. It seems a bit strange as he always barked when you came home barked when you sprayed a can and kept his nose on the vacuum cleaner as you pushed it round! just in case it needed its wheels nipped! and now none of that seems strange.We would also like to thank Clive and Linda ( Spitfire )and hope they find Molly soon.With Misty If she is where her last sighting was its in a bit of ground with not many houses around and we reckon a fairly good source of food so sightings are only if some one is around possibly at dusk or dawn? Thanks again to all the helpers Bob and Rene.

2013-04-13 19:49 Spitfire

Sorry to hear about the loss of your Toby it must be hard for you. Molly has been missing nearly 6 month now so we know how you feel. Linda and Clive Molly's owners

2013-04-12 20:27 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Bumped .. new advert on Friday Ad. Must have been a hard week for you both and quiet without Toby.. I've been thinking about you and of course, Misty. Just hoping and keeping fingers crossed that the forecast better weather will bring her out into the open again. Am going to put her photo all over Facebook again tonight so we can get lots of shares .. hope everyone else will do the same! Stay strong .. we are all rooting for you to be reunited.

Hi all, just to say that Misty is in the Friday Ad again this week.We are just hoping that we will get that call to let us know what area she is in so that we can start searching for her again. Its been almost seven weeks since the last sighting and nearly seven months since she went missing and we are not sure what else we can do but we wont give up. The house seems very strange without Toby as we had him for almost 13 years and he was always at the door to greet us when we came home. Fingers crossed for that call and thanks for all your sopport. Bob and Rene

2013-04-11 14:38 Safedog Crash Tested Car CratesBaggy Dog

So sorry to hear about poor Toby - albeit a lovely way to go. You deserve some happy news soon, fingers crossed.

2013-04-10 10:52 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Yes, 13 is a good age, but still a great loss for you. I believe in the saying that bad things happen in thress. You have lost misty, been scammed with the newspaper and now losing dear Toby. So that is your run of bad luck out of the way. Now we all hope and pray that little misty will show herself and be safely home with you very shortly. Are you ok for printing because I can always do some posters if you ever need them, and drop them over?

2013-04-09 19:54 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hope you are both staying strong. Wow! What a good age Toby was .. and lucky to have such a great life with you. We need some warm weather which will hopefully get Misty out in the open again. I'll bump this page again when the ad is in.

2013-04-09 19:36 Rene

Thanks for your comment and yes it does seem that we are having a bad time at the moment, we just keep hoping that things will get better.Toby was almost thirteen so he was not a bad age but it was such a shock as he had just seemed his usual self all day saturday. I traveled through Ellenwhore lane three times yesterday searching as i had a day of work but no luck, there is so much open ground as well as woods so she could be hiding up anywhere. Bob spoke to the person that saw her about six weeks ago and he has been checking the area as well.P.S Bob missed out a few letters on his comment this morning it should have read (Misty should be back in the Friday Ad this week with slightly amended wording) Thanks Bob and Rene.

2013-04-09 18:23 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh no. I am so very sorry to hear about Toby. What a terrible time you are both having. Was he quite elderly? It never rains, it pours doesn't it. I hope you are both ok.

2013-04-09 07:55 Bob

G'Morning, Just a quick one to say thanks for the kind comments and that Mist Should be back on now plus in this weeks Friday Add. Many thanks Bob and Rene

2013-04-08 17:46 Jo

So sorry for your loss x hope misty comes home soon x

2013-04-08 02:54 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Oh no..I'm so sorry to hear that. It must have been such a shock for you both when he seemed to be ok, but at least he didn't suffer. The house must seem very quiet now. I really do feel for you both. Definitely not giving up on Misty .. even more reason to keep the search going now.

2013-04-07 17:24 Rene

Hi,thanks for the information on plotting a map as to where Misty has been sighted and tracked it does seem to be in a triangle.We will be printing more posters and putting up in the places where some of the posters have gone missing from.Everyone our end knows she is still missing and still keep an eye out for her, we are always looking when we go out hoping she will show herself.Had quite a shock this morning woke up to find our collie Toby had died in his sleep, he hadnt been ill but was struggling with his back legs, he had arthiritus in all his joints. Bob had let him out before he came to bed at 2am as usual and he seemed fine but when we woke at 6.30 he had died, but i suppose that was a nice way for him. Thanks again for all your help Bob and Rene.

2013-04-04 01:02 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Plotting is simply a case of getting a map and putting pins or marks on it corresponding to all the places that Misty has been seen in. The places that Tiga tracked her are positive sightings .. so could be one colour and other unconfirmed ones could be in another. So Rock Lane, Broad Oak, Chitcombe Road, Broad Street at Icklesham, Fairlight, the field behind Industrial Park at Westfield and Westfield Rd would all be on there. If you think it was her that Bob saw in your lane then that should be on it too..I think you will find that it will make a triangle. Then you need to make sure that ALL the places within that triangle have loads of posters displayed. Last time I drove down Rock Lane I could not see any at all, so you should definitely put some up there. Wonndering why the kennel owners have not put them up in the area .. I think you should ask them. It may feel like you are starting all over again, but you need to ensure that people know Misty is still missing. I am working over in Lunsford X at the moment or I would do it myself. Please use the Doglost posters .. if anyone spots Misty they may not remember your tel number or where they saw a poster, but most will remember that it was a Doglost poster and will be able to look Misty up on this site. Also you could put "Misty Doglost page 43310 contact 01424 813925/07774 949294" on a small credit card size paper slips and attach it to your big posters (in a plastic cash bag to protect from weather) for people to take & keep in their pocket. Would be good to put posters in doors again too .. A5 size is easy to print and saves ink! That should give you plenty to do, but DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP! Misty is out there and will be seen again soon, I'm sure.

2013-04-03 18:44 Rene

We hoped that we would too but so far no luck but still keep hoping that one day we will get her back home with us.Until she shows herself again we are not sure where to search as she seems to be travelling around all the time,we do agree with you that as the weather warms up she will be out and about more.Last week we had a e.mail from head office as to plotting the area she has been travelling in but are still waiting for the information to help us do that,perhaps it will help us in our search? Thanks again to all who are helping in our search to get her home. Bob and Rene

2013-04-03 00:19 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Was hoping you would have had a new sighting from the advert that was in. Hopefully one will come in soon. Some warmer weather would help too .. to bring her out in the open again. Keep up the postering and searching Bob and Rene .. our fingers are all crossed that we find her soon.

2013-03-29 20:19 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Have 'bumped' .. ad in Fri Ad today. Hope you get some calls Bob and Rene. We are all rooting for her to show herself so we can get her home to you. Do not give up! Keep up with the postering as it just takes that one person to contact you with a sighting.

2013-03-28 17:12 Bob

Hi,just to say that Mistys ad is in the Friday Ad today, just hope that we might get that call now that the weather seems to be improving.We still keep looking out for her wherever we go, friends and family all have her posters displayed in their cars hoping that someone may have seen her.Thanks again for all your support Bob and Rene.

2013-03-27 01:03 Bob

Hi, thanks for your comment JB it would be wonderful to have her back,you just keep thinking how and where does she keep herself out of sight? thanks for every ones help and concern Bob and Rene.

2013-03-26 13:01 Tiga

Its time you had some luck and Misty came home.

2013-03-25 11:51 Bob

Hi Saffy thanks for your comment,we have already contacted the bank with all the details and we are keeping a close eye on our account as well, we just hope nobody else gets caught out by them.Bob and Rene

Hi, Just to update, I have had a return email from the guy at Friday Add who said sorry that the add had not made last weeks add but will be in Friday 29th paper. PS just to say we did pay for the scam add! we have put it on the on line report a crime list today, many thanks Bob and Rene.

2013-03-23 21:27 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Unfortunately they are scammers. I have reported this to Doglost Admin and they have put a warning regarding advertising on the main Doglost page. Maybe the Fri Ad did not get the ad in the paper as it was too late in the week? It is on their online site though .. link is on my post below. Please continue to share and tweet re Misty .. we are determined to get her home. Thanks!

2013-03-23 20:09 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi bob and rene. I have just done a quick google, and they do seem to be scammers unfortunately. I Hope you haven't parted with any money? I gather they try to take more as and when they want if they have your bank card details. It is disgusting that they have preyed on you in this way. If you google them you will read alot of people who have been duped by them. What a bloody nightmare.

2013-03-23 19:50 Bob

Hello to every one, Just to say that I did put an advert on Friday Add this week which should have gone on line and in the paper? But as it is our bad time for bad adverts at the moment! ( just been seen off by what we think are scam' ers who pose as advertisers, take your money and then you think? I do not remember seeing The South East Telegraph?) I/WE would like to know if any one has seen such a paper for sale? for some reason Friday Add did not put the add in to the paper? I do not know why? I have emailed them and await a reply ! Just hope to here some more about Misty Thanks to all Bob and Rene.

Hi to every one, Just to say thanks to all for all your help and in answer to SpringerMad Yes It does you head and your life in! It seems worse when you have a high with a possible sighting and then Nothing for what seems an age! but we just keep on wishing her to be back home where she belongs. There is another advert due out in this weeks Friday Add plus on there online add for a week keeping her on show! Once again Thank You All very much for all the help given, Bob and Rene.

2013-03-20 16:31 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Hi Bob and Rene, please be assured we will NEVER stop looking for Misty. We check here every day and it is part of our routine to look out for her on our school run, and I mention her to any dog walkers I meet. It must be very painful not to have her around, I can only imagine what it feels like, but we are all hoping and praying she'll be back home where she belongs.

2013-03-19 19:12 Bob

Hi everyone its six months today since our little Misty went missing we still miss her terribly, house is not the same without her here. We still hope that one day we will have her back home with us so please could everyone still keep looking for her as we only need that one call. Thanks again Bob and Rene.

2013-03-18 11:32 Bob

Hi just to let you know we have rung the kennels that the found Sheltie was taken to and checked microchip no: was not Misty,was slightly bewildered as the person i spoke to said that it was a female but on found site it states that it is male,could this be checked,thanks Bob and Rene.

2013-03-17 20:50 hello janey

ah sorry,,I didnt even check the found section,,half the dogs on facebook are only ever on there without a pic, so just searched her lost page,,good luck in getting her home in the end ;-)

2013-03-17 20:50 hello janey

2013-03-17 20:03 Bob

Hi janey thanks for the information the found Sheltie is no.49973 on found dogs. IT says that it is a male and looking at him he looks darker than Misty but we will ring the kennels he is being kept in tomorrow morning just to check the details and microchip no. Thanks again for your help in getting Misty home its amazing how many people out there are keeping a look out for her even after all this time. Thanks again Bob and Rene.

2013-03-17 19:03 hello janey

FACEBOOK...FOUND: 16.3.13 Hillmorton, Rugby - Sheltie (no further details at present) CHIPPED TO ADDRESS IN COVENTRY - now at kennels 0800 096 8800.

2013-03-13 18:32 Bob

Hi all just to say we have updated microchip details as well as ringing petlog to say that she is still missing and was told that she is still on their records as missing. No more sightings recently but hopefully as the weather improves she will show herself again. Come on Misty we want you back,time to come home now.Bob and Rene

2013-03-09 17:19 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

If possible would you update microchip details as very important as that links details to Halo angel scanner.Not seen by anyone other than yourself or those with admin access.
It would not do any harm to ring petlog just to make a point of stating she is still missing and make sure they hold correct phone numbers including mobiles.
So many know she is missing so hopefully a postive sighting soon will bring her home.

2013-03-07 18:06 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks for the update. We are all here to support you and we are all still looking for Misty. I will bump her page next week when the ad goes in. Keep postering and telling people about her and try to keep your spirits up .. every time we think it's gone quiet little Misty seems to pop up again somewhere! We just need to be in front of her instead of behind!

Hi all thankyou again for all your support and yes it is sometimes difficult to keep positive but all the time we keep getting sightings it gives us hope that one day we will get her back home. She was in the Friday ad a couple off weeks ago and will be putting her in again next week just so people know that she is still missing. Have been going to where she was last sighted most days but no luck as yet but hoping for another sighting soon. Bob and Rene.

2013-03-06 10:43 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, we are still checking this page every day, as well as looking out for little Misty. Keep positve, I'm sure she will pop up again soon now the weather is improving.

2013-03-05 18:54 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Just thought I'd say DO NOT GIVE UP .. I know it must be hard but there are a lot of dogs being reunited at the moment and we aim to make MISTY one of them. The sun may bring her out into the open a little more so let's hope for a new sighting very soon. Come on Misty .. your mum and dad want you home.

2013-03-04 07:27 Bob

Good Morning to All, Just to say we went up to the spot where our little girl was seen and put up Three posters around that area.We had a call plus a dog whistle for Misty but to no avail, but it was mid afternoon so not the best time! We put up more posters around the area round in Watch Place Lane etc: While we were in Ellenore Lane we meet a land owner who lived just below where Misty was seen who walks his dog and will give me a call straight away if he has a sighting.So we just hope that she is still around the area and we have some more sightings! Many thanks for every ones help. Bob and Rene

2013-03-03 15:42 Bob

Hi everybody we are out postering today near to where Misty was last sighted but have not had much luck with the printer today so havent done as many as we had hoped. Have spoken to Jenny but she is busy at the moment tracking elsewhere but will be in touch at some point to check the sighting out,at least the weather is warming up now and hopefully Misty will venture out and we will get another sighting soon.Thanks again for helping in our search for her Bob and Rene.

2013-02-28 22:12 Bob

Hi all,just an update to say Bob went and met the person who sighted Misty a couple of weeks ago and he took him to the place where he saw her.She was apparently just the other side of a fence about 10metres away in a field,she looked up when the whistle was sounded and his dog barked she then turned and walked towards the wood,turned round again,looked,turned away and walked towards the woods. Have sent a message to Jenny just to see if she thinks its worth coming and tracking to confirm or not that it was Misty. We will go up there at the weekend and put some more posters up in the hope that we might get another sighting. Bob and Rene

2013-02-28 07:26 Bob

Good Morning to Every One, Just to say I did not manage to see the Guy yesterday but will try today and hope he is better. I / We will keep every one up to date as soon as we get some sort of news. Thanks to every one for all the support, Bob and Rene

2013-02-27 23:38 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

How did the meeting go Bob?

2013-02-26 17:14 Bob

Hi,just to let you know we have been in touch with the person who saw Misty and are going to meet him tomorrow all being well as he now has this awful flu bug. He is going to show us exactly where he saw her apparently she came out of the wood when he blew the whistle,looked at him when his dog barked and then wandered back into the wood.As far as he could tell she didnt seem frightened at all,were not sure if this is what happens after they have been missing for a while as she has been missing for over five months now! We will try and get hold of Jenny and see what she thinks about coming down and tracking as its now been a couple of weeks since the sighting.Hoping for another sighting soon and maybe catch up with her and get her back home, shes been out there too long and we want her back home with us.Thanks again Rene and Bob.

Hi everyone just to say we are both feeling much better now and sorry to say there have no more sightings since last weeks. We did consider getting in touch with Jenny but as we were both not feeling that well decided against it.We have not relocated the box as we are not sure where to put it as she may have moved on again, we will try to contact the person who saw her last week to see if he has any updates. Thanks again for all your help Bob and Rene.

2013-02-23 23:40 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Bob and Rene. Hope you are both well now. Have you had any more news of Misty? Have you managed to put the box near to where the last sighting was? Expect it was a little cold for a bbq especially when you were not feeling too well. Keep fingers crossed that you spot her again or for another sighting soon.

2013-02-20 16:51 Bob

Hi just to say thanks Sue for the information on the found sheltie,we have checked it out but sorry to say it is not Misty we rang in with microchip no but by then the owners had been found and the dog had been reunited was a long shot but had to be checked out.Thanks again for everybodys help in trying to find our little girl Bob and Rene.

2013-02-20 14:48 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Sue, Thanks .. have just looked at link but there is no sheltie on there now, so presumably it has been claimed by it's owner.

2013-02-20 07:04 sukimax

Hi, There is a sheltie here, http://strayaction.com/viewpage.php?page_id=27 I dont think it is Misty because of white on paws but please just check, SueXX

2013-02-18 22:11 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

hope you are feeling better soon Rene. Did you manage to move your box with clothes/smelly food nearer to home? Remember if you would like to use my cage just let me know.

2013-02-17 17:26 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Sorry you've not been feeling well, hope you are better soon.

2013-02-15 21:12 Bob

Hi everyone no more sightings to report after mondays, its so frustrating to think that shes only a few miles from home but we cant find her. Things have been a bit difficult this week as ive been laid up with flu and Bob has had a busy week at work so have not been able to do much in the way of searching but hopefully we will get more time next week. Thanks for your help Rene and Bob.

2013-02-13 18:20 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Another one in the same area so Misty is still travelling around it seems. A fox screecher is basically a whistle with a very high pitch sound so hope it hasn't frightened her off! Hope you gave poster to the stable owners I mentioned previously as they are in this area. Definitely worth seeing if JB would be around to check this and maybe the 14 Acre lane sighting. Still keeping everything crossed!

2013-02-13 07:35 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, brilliant. Wonder if Jenny is about to see if Tiga can sniff her out. Will be keeping a close eye when on the school run this morning, and if you need any help, this is all very near to me. Good luck!

2013-02-13 00:46 Bob

Good evening All,After a few days where not much seems to have been heard, Out of the blue today a guy I know popped in at work and said that yesterday he was out in the woods in the area between Chittcome road and Staplecross/Horns Cross in Ellenore Lane he said he sounded off a Fox Screchker? and a small dog ran out and away from him. This morning he noticed a Misty poster in a friends car and said that's just like the small dog that he had seen yesterday! He said that he would give it another try when he is next down there and call me straight away! So we are keeping every thing crossed! He also said that he knows the owners of the ground well and that it would not be a problem to track there! lets just hope that we get a call from him to say she is still there.I/we hope I/we can post up some good news tomorrow Bob and Rene.

2013-02-09 10:44 Scoobster

This sounds hopeful, Fingers and toes crossed you find her very soon x

2013-02-09 00:34 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Jenny's away this weekend but if owners do bbq and put clothing and food nearby they may get lucky. Fingers crossed.

2013-02-08 19:20 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh this is getting exciting! It would be brilliant to see if Jenny and Tiga were able to confirm if this is your girl.

2013-02-08 18:33 jobadger

Yes - so encouraging! I so hope this little girl is home with you very soon. xx

2013-02-08 15:54 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Bob, Oh that is encouraging! Hope it is Misty.. it would definitely be a good idea to get that bbq going .. in the evening and at about the same time as you saw her .. lots of smelly offerings! Also try ringing Jenny (if you haven't already!) to see if she is able to come and track or bring the dogtrap down. Have everything crossed that it's her and you get her home this time. Come on Misty .. go home!

2013-02-08 01:10 Bob

Evening every one, Just to say its been another quirt few days without any news of Misty but today ( this afternoon ) a lady who lives just along the lane said she had seen a small dog or fox like animal trotting along the lane and about fifty mins: later after I dropped Home I drove off to work and about five hundred yards along are lane ( Fourteen Acre Lane ) just through the hedge in the wooded bit on the left, I saw a small dog / fox like animal but by the time I backed up and looked I could not see it? I gave a call or two but No! So I think I /we will get our box with sniffs and food / treats and put near home and see If Misty is lurking about close to home! We can only hope!! all the best to one and all for all the help and encouragement Bob and Rene.

2013-02-06 09:21 sukimax

With the wonderful news of Troubles return, So hoping for good news about Misty, Come on Misty, Time you came home, XX

2013-02-03 21:04 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Maybe it's time to get that bbq going again! Keep swamping the area with posters and more posters .. someone has to see her again if she is so close.

2013-02-03 19:56 Bob

Hi everyone,just to say that since we put clothing and food down at last sighting Misty has not been back seems she has moved on again. It seems shes always one step ahead of us and we just have to hope and pray for another sighting soon.Every sighting gives us hope that she is still ok and that one day she will be back home with us but it is so frustrating as the sightings are all quite close to home. Thanks again to everybody for all your help Bob and Rene.

2013-02-03 10:21 Lorraine

Really hope you get her home soon, keep up the good work x

2013-01-31 23:12 Bob

Hi everyone, Thank you for all your help, I have spoken to JB today and we are now just keeping our fingers crossed that our little babe shows herself at the venue where the box with our clothing and goodies are! the owners of the property are keeping an eye and I think a cctv aimed at the box so we should know if she comes by! I am under instruction by JB to contact her as soon as there is a confirmed return there so as to get on track, so to speak.we just hope to here soon! Thanks for all your help Bob and Rene.

2013-01-31 22:03 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Spoke to Rene about this latest sighting and it's much closer to her home now. The owners of the property are doing everything they can to help find Misty so let's hope she goes back there. Turns out it's a rellie of a friend of mine! There's a lot of woods and open fields in the area .. all of which would lead Misty back home if only she would go the right way! Bob .. If they think Misty is going back to their place then it would be an idea to ask JB to bring the dogtrap that you kindly donated down to see if she could be caught. Everything crossed once again!

Any news this morning on the food front?

2013-01-30 22:25 Tiga

Let me know more about this sighting, it sounds like it might be worth coming down again with Tiga to track. Keep checking the cameras as often as possible. Keep me posted.

2013-01-30 17:21 Bob

Just to let you know we have been and put box with clothes and food where she was possibly seen and yes it was in somebody`s garden. He has also offered to put up a camera to see if she or any other animal goes there. He hasn`t heard any barking since so she may have moved on again but its worth a try just in case she is still in the area, everything crossed she will show her face again. And yes we have printed out some business card size adverts as you suggested and handed them out to people as it just needs that one call that could get her back home.

2013-01-30 10:34 Safedog Crash Tested Car CratesBaggy Dog

I’ve found that it helps to print out an A4 sheet of paper cut into business-card size slips, each with brief details and your phone number on. Give them to all the local dog walkers, postmen etc. you meet. Then if someone has news when they’re out and about they don’t need to find a poster or log on to the site to contact you. I expect all the locals know about her but may not have your phone number in their heads. Good luck.

2013-01-29 21:07 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

This is quite hopeful. Would be lovely to get a tracker down to see if it is her. Is this someone's garden or in the rural bit between the 2 villages? Sunday is not long back so fingers crossed she is still around that area. Have all the sightings been at night, as I suppose she hides up during the day, making everyones job twice as hard!

2013-01-29 18:45 Bob

Hi everyone just to update you,food still not touched at Broadoak site but the area she was tracked to has been cleared ready for building work to start so we dont think she will return there. We have collected the box etc to take to another site that she may be near as we had a call from someone who possibly saw and heard her on Sunday evening.It could be her as it was between Westfield and Three Oaks not far from where she was sighted just over a week ago.The person that called was going to put some food down and see (if it was her)she returns. Thank you again for everybodys help in the search for Misty. Bob and Rene.

2013-01-26 10:22 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Keep at it! Maybe you could find another suitable place to put food/clothing .. near to the last sighting? If the person whose garden Misty went through agrees that would be a good one. At least you have some sunshine to help you today.

2013-01-26 10:01 Bob

Hi, just to let everyone know Misty still not been and taken food we will keep trying and hope she finds it. Once again all our thanks to all for your help Bob and Rene.

2013-01-25 09:06 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Morning all, shame the food etc is still there, but try to keep positive, as she may have just been holed up somewhere whilst the weather has been chilly. Hopefully she will be out and about again shortly. Am still talking to everyone I see on my walks.

2013-01-25 00:28 Bob

Just to say I went up to Broad Oak where we put the box with our clothing and some food but no signof the food being taken! I/we will keep on checking in hope All the best Bob

2013-01-23 21:38 Bob

Evening all, Just to say we have checked the sight tonight but still nothing gone I am sorry to say. I did however have another report of a small dog barking at 3am this morning in the area across the road from the Red Lion at Brede near the church? I am waiting to here if this continues tomorrow! We will hope to here some thing. Many Thanks for every ones help trying to find our babe Bob and Rene

2013-01-23 21:27 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Well done putting the clothes and food out .. I know it's a long shot but even if there are workmen there in the daytime, Misty may go back there at night when it's quiet, so worth a go. Just keep at it. Would you be able to put some in the garden she went through on Saturday .. as perhaps she uses the same routes more than once?

2013-01-22 20:51 Bob

Hi again just to say we popped up to where we have left food and clothing today but hasn`t been touched unfortunately, did wonder because of the work that is going on there. Workmen there again today so will be surprised if she does go back but will check the next few days just in case.If only we could find where she is hiding out but it seems as though she is still moving from one area to another all the time.Just waiting for the next sighting.Bob and Rene

2013-01-21 17:02 Bob

Hi everyone just to let you know we have postered all of the houses along the road near to where Misty was last seen which was saturday evening,we also put up more laminated posters around that area. Have left a cardboard box with some clothing and smelly sardines where Jenny suggested at Broad Oak just in case she goes back there as she is in that area but not sure she will go there as since she was tracked there someone has scrubbed some of the land closeby.We will have to check every day to see if anything happens. Keeping everything crossed for some positive news. Bob and Rene

2013-01-21 16:26 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

This is a msg fm the owner of Holly 39774 reunited after 7 months just before Christmas. Thought it might help ...
For those of you just starting out or still looking for your beautiful girls and boys..
Poster, poster and poster again....check the map and poster again.
E-mail evryone you can think of and get the word out.
Harrass the radio, papers and TV stations until someone listens....you can get advertising for free...we did!
And once you find where your baby is......
Scent, feed, search.....watch for runs and beds....once you have that...lure with cooking, scenting, feeding, set up traps, cameras, camp out and even just sit and watch all times of the day and night.
I have done all of these things day in and day out for nearly 7 months and now my girl is home safe and sound.

Hi, to All,
We think it will be party time When Misty comes Home! and pate too if that's what is needed! Once again Thank Every one for all there great help in some very poor conditions. Bob and Rene

2013-01-20 21:23 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks Springermad ..seems Misty's still in the Broad Oak, Westfield, Fairlight triangle as last sighting was off Udimore Rd.. so really just important to impress on anyone who sees her to ring owners IMMEDIATELY .. if they can't go out then Samellie & I can go. Reckon pate will be on the menu when we reunite her!! Thanks too to Samellie .. who went out again Sat night along Westfield Lane to Downs Oak Farm, had a look around fields & disused barns but no sign of Misty.

Oh and when she gets reunited, can I have some pate too?!

2013-01-20 18:38 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

I would love to help in a more active way than just passing the word and looking out when we are walking and driving. Have stayed away from specific areas like the one on the westfield bit because we don't want to scare her off, or mess up pawprints, tracks, but if you get any positive sightings and need people on the ground, I am happy to help. We are northiam by the way, so just a few mins away.

2013-01-20 18:13 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

I agree Springermad .. trouble is we always seem to be one step behind Misty ...think she's a 'canny' dog! Need to get out there fast when these sightings happen, but the information is always several hours if not days later! Everything crossed she will go to the food and clothes in this weather..then we have a fighting chance of getting her.

2013-01-20 18:07 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Brilliant, seems things are edging closer to getting this little girl back. We are all on tenterhooks in our house !!

2013-01-20 17:32 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

More encouraging news. Spoke to Bob and they were going out to poster in area of new sighting. Have again said to put clothes and food back in area Jenny suggested and also in the garden Misty may hv been seen in if owner is agreeable. Was only an hour of daylight though so hope they did this! Still think pawprints at Westfield were Misty and she could have got back to Broad Oak since Friday. Oh .. come on Misty, stay somewhere we can find you please! Time to go home.

2013-01-20 15:00 Bob

Just had a call from a friend who said that there could have been a sighting last night between 6 and 6.30 on the road from Broad Oak to Rye.She crossed the road from Stubbs Lane and went into a garden opposite. Will print up some posters to put through letterboxes of houses along the main road in that area as someone in the houses may have seen her about.Bob and Rene.

2013-01-20 13:45 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

We (Samellie & others) went out and put posters up yesterday & did a search. Bob & Rene joined us after we had been out for a while.
Samellie & I spk to lady who owns the field Misty was sighted in.. she gave full permission for us to go there .. also Jenny & Tiga if she is able to get here. Will allow us to put a dogtrap on her land (if sightings confirmed) too provided it is checked daily. We did find lots of dog tracks in the snow (leading to the stream at bottom & bk up to top again) in the field next door to where Misty had been spotted crossing the road, also on verge/in field on opp side of road. The snow would have covered any tracks in the other field, but I really feel that they were her footprints that we saw. They ran alongside rabbit prints so it looks as though that is how she is surviving! Bob & Rene agreed. (Oh & thanks for the pate Bob, it's lovely!) Hopefully when Jenny is able to extricate herself from the snow she may be able to come to have a scout around and confirm whether they are Misty's or not. Hope she & Tiga are keeping warm.

2013-01-20 12:43 Bob

Just an update,went out yesterday with Gina and her family and friend from Whitelands kennels to search the area where Misty was sighted.We went into a field near to where she was sighted and found paw prints in the snow which could have been hers. We also went down to Woodlands holiday park and spoke to a lovely lady there who has taken some posters for us and is going to spread the word, also went to Freshfields farm shop and did the same.We spoke to a person in a white van who drives in the area three times a week and he took some posters and said he would a look out for her as well,just have to keep putting the word out there!!! By the way Bob rang JB on friday and at that time was snowed in down in Dorset. Thanks again to everyone for all they are doing to find Misty.

2013-01-19 13:40 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

pawprints even!!

2013-01-19 13:37 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Wonder if this is worth checking out whilst it has been snowing. Would there be footprints or a trail?

2013-01-19 03:32 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Ooooo! This sounds good! Not only is it near to you, but it's also near to the other sighting you had before Christmas and where Tiga tracked in Westfield. I know the lady who owns the farm that field is on .. I will try to ring her in the morning .. I'll let you know if I am successful. Will also text Samellie in case she has not seen this as her kennels are very close too. Suggest you go to Freshfields Farm shop again and let them know that there has been a new sighting. Have you rung JB?

2013-01-18 23:20 K9 Capers

I am not in that area but have renewed appeal to contacts on Facebook and Twitter. Hurry home Misty.

2013-01-18 20:38 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Gosh this sounds really hopeful. Fingers crossed she'll be back with you shortly. Will keep an eye out as always.

2013-01-18 16:05 Bob

Hi just to let you know that Bob had one of his customers in today who were convinced that they saw Misty yesterday evening at about ten o`clock between Woodlands holiday park and Ripleys yard which is between Westfield and Hastings. She crossed the road and went into the field where they hold events for horses but by the time they had turned their car around she had dissappeared.This does sound possible as these fields back onto where she went missing and people do say that they very often go back to where they first got lost.Fingers crossed this was Misty and if it was she is still ok.There is also an Ad in the FridayAd today we are hoping that we will get that call that will get her back home with us.Thanks again everybody for your help to find her.Bob and Rene

2013-01-16 17:31 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

That's great .. speaking to people often works well as they remember afterwards & pass it on to others too. It may seem odd leaving clothes and food when no sighting but if Misty is still in the area she has bn spotted in (and tracked to)it has to be worth a go. Even if the food is not taken..and I know this can be disheartening when no obvious result, please keep this up as long as possible as she may well go back there especially if the weather goes colder. Fingers and everything crossed you get a new sighting soon. I will ask admin to bump this page on Friday when FriAd comes out.

2013-01-16 16:27 Bob

Hi everybody just an update,didn`t get chance to put food and clothing down on sunday but will go and do it after work 2morrow been a bit hectic the last few days.Spoke to quite a few people on sunday the more that are aware that she is still missing the more chance we will get another sighting! Spend all my time to and from work just looking across all the open fields around just hoping i might get a glimpse of her.Just hoping the ad in this weeks Friday Ad will jog someones memory. Heres hoping for that call.Rene

2013-01-14 12:53 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Well done. Did you get chance to put clothes and food where JB suggested previously? I really feel that the sighting of Misty running across road is a positive one meaning she is still in the area. Let's hope she makes her way to the clothes and food.

2013-01-13 21:25 Bob

Just to say we have been out today and put up a few more posters and replaced some of the older ones as people may think that she has been found by now.We noticed that some of the posters that we put in Brede High woods had gone so we repostered. We have also placed an ad in the Friday Ad this week and on line Friday Ad Pages. Many thanks for all your help Bob and Rene.

2013-01-12 13:18 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Forecast dry tomorrow. Hope you can get out to Chitcombe/Broad Oak area and maybe put clothes and food back where JB suggested previously (unless you hv already done this). Snow forecast next week so you may even get to see footprints nearby. The news of Misty's whereabouts is what you have been waiting for!

2013-01-11 12:31 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

If this is Misty and she's barking at night then it would be worth Bob going to the area to see if she would respond to him.. preferably with a can of very smelly sardines! BBQ time if you can find a suitable place .. Sat it's meant to be v wet but Sunday is supposed to be dry.

2013-01-11 09:11 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

This is more positive! I have been looking at the 'triangle' that Misty may be making. I have a friend who lives in chitcombe road with dogs, so will be contacting her with this link. Is the night barking coming directly from these woods near the crossroads do you know?

2013-01-10 22:07 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Oh wow! That sounds good altho not the crossing the road bit. Is exactly the same area Tiga tracked her in Oct .. & luckily where Marianne and friends hv bn putting posters up so locals shld be aware. If she's still in that area then perhaps you can go there & follow the advise that Jenny gave you back then .. that you should visit regularly with food and clothing and have a BBQ and sit and wait maybe in the car watching, but not to lay a scent towards the road. Perhaps ask JB if it would be worth seeing if she's still going to the garages you mentioned and putting a trap somewhere near there? Oh goodness .. come on Misty, we're not giving up on you.

2013-01-10 07:50 Bob

Good Morning to all, We would like to thank everyone for all there help with Misty. Last night I had a call which ( could be if it was Misty! where she maybe or the area of:- ) The call was from a friend and very much into the dog world as is her family, It seems that Misty could have been seen about a fortnight ago as she ran across the Chittcombe Road ( B2089 ) Back towards the Cripps Corner End around the woods plus of late they have been hearing a small dog barking late at night and are fairly sure that none of there neighbours have any small dogs and that is close to where she was before at Broad Oak near the cross roads in the woods behind between the Rye and Northiam Roads. We will keep our fingers crossed and just hope some thing comes of this! we need a positive after what seems a long break. Many thanks Bob and Rene

2013-01-10 00:35 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Good idea to spread the word further. So far (to recap) there have been positive sightings (confirmed by Tiga) in Fairlight, Broad Street (Icklesham)& Broad Oak/Brede.. and orginally in Rock Lane (Pug Alley) where she was lost. Also probable sighting in Westfield and maybe once back in Three Oaks too .. which in fact makes a triangle so hopefully Misty is still somewhere within this, although she could have got further afield. Going on Doglost experts views, dogs mostly stay in triangle tho. (I ran out of cable ties so some of mine may hv gone, but they were in Fairlight area!)

2013-01-09 19:58 marianne

i agree clarkey but ive been using cable ties my dog/house sitter has taken some posters today to put up further afield just in case.come on misty show yourself again time to come home now

2013-01-09 12:27 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Springermad .. thanks for yr help. Marianne .. thank you & well done! That's very kind of you to tel them & I'm glad they hv agreed to leave the posters up now. I think some posters have come down because of the weather & perhaps others 'cos people think she has bn found/bn up so long. Also a lot of posters hv bn put directly through doors so people hv the tel nmbr to hand. I too am not going to give up, so rest assured Bob & Rene we will keep looking/postering and getting the word out there. Just want Misty to show herself and we will be on her trail again.

hi springermad ive phoned the forrestry and woodland trust and they,ve said its them as i dont like the idea of posters every where so ive explained the story about misty and we need to poster like made as lots off people walk there dogs at brede high woods beckley woods and so on and they have agreed to leave the new ones up yayeee

2013-01-09 10:00 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh I meant to add, that there was a lovely reunited story of a Lancashire Heeler, found after 3 years! Give hope to everybody that does. Bob and Rene, we will all keep looking until she is found. Funny, I now associate Westfield and Three Oaks automatically with Misty, so we shall certainly not stop looking.

2013-01-09 09:57 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Marianne, that is awful. I did wonder if this was going on because when Misty was first postered, I never saw any up. Then there was second round of postering before Christmas which we did see. Why would people want to take them down, it is bizarre.

2013-01-09 07:25 marianne

hi ive been putting up posters every where for bob and when walking my dogs this morning someone has taken them down so im back out again shortly to put more up and will keep doing so until this lady is in the blue

2013-01-09 03:13 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

I've been putting Misty's poster on Fbk lots recently and on most of the missing dog pages too. I know it must be hard, but you are doing the right thing .. keep getting the word out there that she is still missing and keep postering .. anywhere and everywhere. I've had friends say that they saw the advert in the Observer, so even if there were no sightings from it at least it has raised awareness. Also please keep checking the animal warden website, the kennels, vets etc. DO NOT GIVE UP .. the areas she has been seen in are very open and there are so many fields/woods etc for her to survive in without being spotted. Misty .. it's really time to show yourself again .. PLEASE.

2013-01-08 19:16 Bob

Just to let you know took other dog Lucy to b e groomed yesterday and Vicky has updated poster for us as well as taking a poster to her friend who is another dog groomer. Some of my friends at work have also put Misty on their face book pages as the more people know that she is still missing the more liklehood of another sighting. Fingers crossed for another sighting soon so frustrating not hearing anything just makes us wonder if she is still o.k. Am always looking out for her when im out walking or driving just in case she is near home. Just waiting for that call. Rene

2013-01-08 01:28 Bob

Hi, Thanks for the info we will go on and up date on the Sheltie site after we have registered with them. Many thanks for every ones help that we keep getting Bob and Rene.

2013-01-07 17:59 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

We are still checking in here every day to see if there is any news, as well as keeping a look out for her on our school runs, and dog walks. We really hope that there will be a sighting soon. I notice there was a thread on a Sheltie site about Misty. Hopefully this link will work, as it may be worth while putting an update on there. (you may have seen it in anycase, but thought it worth a mention).

Yes just call me when you get that sighting, lets get Misty home.

2013-01-04 11:01 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

That's great. Thank you Marianne, that's a great help especially as I'm not too familiar with the area. I'll not be around this weekend, but let me know if you hv any sightings please .. fingers crossed!

2013-01-04 07:24 Bob

Good Morning, Just to up date all who watch, I rang and meet Marianne yesterday morning,she kindly popped down to my works and picked up some new posters plus some of the small credit card size laminated small picture and where to call if seen as soon as possible which is what we need. Then hope it is a time when the very busy Jenny and Tiga are available at such a desperate time as that tells us that Misty has been there and with hope for once within an hour or so behind Misty! Once again thanking every one for all the help. Rene has taken and left some of the small cards at Roselands Where she works for all the visitors. Once again Many Thanks Bob and Rene.

2013-01-02 21:03 marianne

hi i live in broadoak brede if someone can print some posters off im very happy to poster anywhere you would need me to my number is 07833282114

2013-01-02 10:30 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

I asked for some help fm the Westfield Village website re searching for Misty. I got a lovely reply this morning saying they have posted my request in Village news on the front page. Here is the link http://www.westfieldvillage.co.uk/node/4260 Thank you to them. Let's hope it gets a sighting/info of Misty.

2013-01-01 22:32 Bob

Hope you are feeling better now! We have made up lots more posters and cards the last few days but as the weather has been so bad have not had chance to get out and put them up. Hopefully the weather will stay dry so that we can get out and about and put them up.Thanks for all you are doing to try and find Misty and keeping everything crossed for another sighting soon.Wishing you a happy new year and hoping Misty will be home soon.

2012-12-31 23:44 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Have spent a lot of time putting Misty's poster on lots of Fbk pages last couple of days. Lots and lots of shares have been done .. will definitely keep her in the minds of people. Also Missing-Stolen Dogs Groups on Fb said "have made a poster and lightened her pic so its much clearer - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=311467585621788&set=a.200782986690249.32794.122936117808270&type=1&theater" Will start the New Year with lots of people seeing Misty's poster .. just need that one person to report a sighting .. PLEEEASE let it be!

2012-12-28 16:39 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Bob and Rene, Yes I think you are right to start checking the old posters and making sure they are still there and visible. When time elapses and people do not hear news they often think the dog has been found. There are also so many places that Misty could be holed up in this foul weather and so many open areas around the places where there have been positive sightings. So poster power has to be the way to go. I say again .. DO NOT GIVE UP! I will be out and about to help look again as soon as I have shaken off the dreaded 'lurgy' I have! Today I have sent email to Westfield Community website asking them to add info about Misty on to their page. Sooner or later someone will spot your little girl again .. come on Misty, please show yourself again, your ma and pa are still looking for you so you can go home.

2012-12-28 10:09 Bob

Good morning to all, I am sorry to say we have not heard any more over Christmas and we start to wonder if Misty just keeps moving around? then we think has she gone off round the same circuit again? or gone to ground as weather fairly poor! Have just made up another version of cards and posters so will start to replace, as when we popped into one of our locals the other night the old poster was gone as some one had said to them that Misty had been found! and they were quite surprised when we said that she was still on the missing list with a couple of possible sightings. Well once again we thank every one for all the help that thy have given and that it would be a nice Christmas Present for us if she just came through the open side gate and in the back cat flap. Bob and Rene.

2012-12-21 20:53 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Keep at it Bob. If she is near to home then those posters you are putting up will help. Someone must see her soon .. keeping fingers crossed.

2012-12-20 21:03 Bob

Hi just to let everybody know we had a call of possible sighting at Udimore so took poster to show to person who had seen a dog in their back garden but was not Misty was a short haired dog.There was also a possible sighting not far from home so walked Lucy our other dog up the lane and through the fields calling and scenting but so far no luck. Have also given out more updated posters to people i work with to put up. Just waiting for next sighting or call.Bob and Rene.

2012-12-17 23:20 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Bob, When you are printing posters I wonder if it may help to also print out an A4 sheet of paper cut into business-card size slips, each with brief details and your phone number on. Then you could give them to all the local dog walkers, postmen etc. you meet. As Misty is nervous and not likely to go to anyone then if someone has news when they’re out and about they don’t need to find a poster or log on to the site to contact you.

2012-12-17 01:13 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hope you got my text Bob. Sooo frustrating waiting for another new sighting.. but suggest you use your time ringing around the kennels and rescue centres and checking the animal wardens site, just in case they have had her come in. Have seen posters you've put up .. keep at it. You can never have too many posters .. POSTER POWER is so important now. Everywhere and anywhere, but especially in the areas of previous sightings. Come on Misty .. time to go home girl.

2012-12-16 09:14 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Come on MISTY TIME TO GIVE YOURSELF UP....

2012-12-16 07:58 Bob

Just to say Hi to every one and say that it all has seemed to go quirt on the sighting front! and its very hard when you don't know which way Misty could have gone from the field in Westfield (which we think was a good chance )so if that was a good one and she has gone back the way she was seen to go she would be in a fairly open ground with few houses and only a small chance of being seen! We have screwed our side gate open by six inches and put a barrier up at the corner of the building so that if she does come home she can get in through the cat flap that she always used! Mean while we keep hopping for that or another sighting.Many Thanks for every ones help Bob and Rene

2012-12-11 16:54 Bob

Thankyou for helping in the search for Misty we cant believe the amount of help and support we are getting to get her back home. It seems weeks since the last sighting but if it was her at New Cut Westfield it was about two weeks ago. We just wait for the call with another sighting so that we can go and call her. It would be wonderful if she was home for christmas.

2012-12-11 10:52 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

We have been looking out for Misty since she went missing as we drive through Westfield and ThreeOaks twice a day. Really hoping to see the same news as Teasel very shortly. Have noted all the new posters up, so that is good. Hopefully there will be a sighting and we can see her home safely soon.

2012-12-08 02:30 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Glad Teasel's story has given you some encouragement Bob and Rene. Aww .. well deserved rest for Tiga the supa searcha!! Hoping his next assignment will be for Misty. Please show yourself Misty .. your ma and pa want you home.

2012-12-06 22:17 Bob

Hi really pleased to hear Teasel back home safe and sound what wonderful news.We are still waiting for another sighting so that we can start searching for Misty again,hopefully soon.It makes us feel more positive after the news about Teasel being found.Thanks again for everybodys help so far and fingers crossed we find Misty soon.

2012-12-06 21:07 Tiga

Yes I agree, don't give up and as soon as there is another sighting I will come down with Tiga. He has had a rest this week as I think he was very tired as he has done alot lately.

2012-12-06 20:24 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

You are doing really well Bob and Rene. DO NOT GIVE UP! News came tonight that Teasel has at last been found .. in Burgess Hill and has been reunited with her owner. All thanks to a kind man who found her and had her microchip checked. Teasel had been missing since Aug Bank Hol so you see miracles do happen. I have shared Misty's page on all the sites on Fbk and we will carry on helping you to find her .. no matter how long it takes. It just goes to show that things happen when you least expect it .. and you must NEVER EVER GIVE UP! Come on Misty .. it's your turn to come home now.

2012-12-02 23:09 Bob

Hi, just to say we put up a few more posters and updated some of the old ones around Three Oaks Station plus sign posts, foot path entrances Brede Place lane foot path, Hundred House lane post, Kings Head Udimore, Three Oaks Pub, Bus Stops Beckley, Northiam, Brede, plus other sign posts and poles. We also put an advert that went in all the local Observers on Friday 30th. We now just wait and hope for the next sighting? Bob and Rene.

2012-11-29 15:37 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Have been out all morning putting posters thru doors from A28 into Wheel Lane/Cottage Lane telling people I know in area of sighting. Met friends out riding and gave poster to them, also all houses on right hand side. Continued up to Carr Taylor vineyard and went to into Wheel Park Farm (not Will Fm!)opposite there .. Bob & Rene should get a call/text from owner to say if it's ok to go on their land should there be a new sighting (Mr. Hamish Monroe or his rep Mr. Cole. Also told Redlays Dairy whose land backs on to the stream (more a river at the mo) v near to where you went on footpath from bk of W Fm Business Park. There is also another footpath going from Sprays Lane/Wheel Lane (leads into Cottage Lane) intersection .. this footpath splits and goes around to the one that begins at back of business park. where you were tracking. Bit confusing but if you google map it you will see that Wheel Lane turns into Cottage Lane going towards Sedlescombe. Then Cottage Lane goes to the right and continues back to Westfield Rd (A28) where New Cut is. Ran out of posters so had to stop, but did hv look in fields in 8 Acre Lane (where u tracked) and by railway.

2012-11-29 08:40 Tiga

Yes so disappointed that Tiga did not pick up any good scent yesterday. We do need news of a sighting as soon as it happens, so maybe more posters in the area, posters to the dustmen, milkmen, couriers bus drivers, posters on footpaths, bus stops, in pubs, local shops. We need to establish the area she is hanging out and maybe we can then think of putting up a dog trap and get this little girl home.

2012-11-28 21:43 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Wouldn't think that there's another Sheltie in the area, so this looks positive although Tiga was not able to pick up a scent in 8 Acre Lane. However it's been very wet here and wonder if that affects the tracking. Thanks again to Jenny for coming so far to help Bob and Rene. Unfortunately they were unable to get access into the field in Westfield (near Will Farm/New Cut). Samellie .. if you read this she seems to have been near to your area! Have asked friend who works on railways to alert workers that Misty is in the area as she must have crossed the lines if both the Westfield and 8 Acre Lane sightings are correct. Fortunately lines not electric in this area and if any animals are in region of lines there is a policy to go 'under caution' .. seems we have lovely helpful rail staff in this area. Friend has also said he may have a look along trackside (authorized rail staff only areas) to see if he can see any signs of her..apparently foxes use these areas so Misty may too.

2012-11-26 18:15 Bob

Just to update you we had a call from someone this morning who may have seen Misty just off eight acre lane Threeoaks yesterday which is not too far from New Cut Westfield. Seems as though she is not far from home if it was her. Fingers crossed she will show herself again soon thanks again for everybodys help. Bob and Rene.

2012-11-26 02:54 Bob

Hi, just to add that late on this afternoon we meet a guy who said he had seen a Sheltie on its own around the New Cut Area at Westfield (About a mile and a half as the crow fly's from home! Here's hopping Many thanks Bob.

2012-11-25 13:25 Bob

Just an update to say Thanks very much for the person from Coopers Vets for the sighting of a Sheltie running along the beach on it own alone at Pett Level. We went down to confirm or dismiss depending on what we could find out by asking around the small caravan park. We spoke to two or three people and found out there was some one down there with a young Sheltie and bumped into the owners so alas not Misty but also confirming that the dog was back with his owners. Once again thank all the calls we have to check all that come to be able to be there as soon as possible to have that chance to get close to her! Bob and Rene

2012-11-22 02:42 Bob

Hi, Just to say we are waiting and willing for the next call! Rene had one of the girls at work say today that her mother walked there dog at 6-30am in the estate near the garages that backs onto the last confirmed sighting at Broad Oak and heard a small dog bark and a scuffing noise around the rear there some where but did not see where exactly! We don't know if she is still around up there some where? We can only hope for another sighting! here is hopping Bob

2012-11-19 17:47 Bob

Animal warden been in contact not Misty was a male sheltie that went missing today but has been reunited with its owners. Got our hopes up for a minute but happy hes back home. Thanks for your help again maybe it will be Mistys turn soon.x

We put more food out at Broadoak this weekend but no luck we think she may have moved on. Put more posters up along Chitcombe road yesterday as well as Brede high woods as plenty of dog walkers go there. Dont think it was Misty in Butchers lane but but we lit a barbeque just in case yesterday evening plenty of lovely smells but no Misty! Have also repostered Blackbrookes garden centre with updated poster. Thanks everybody for all your help and we just hope she shows herself again soon x

2012-11-18 21:49 DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent

Am watching these postings with great interest and everything's crossed for you. Too far away to help in Kent, but wishing you every ounce of luck. xx

2012-11-17 23:21 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Oh my goodness .. let's hope it's her! Quite possible that she's worked her way bk to Butcher's Lane. Go light a barbeque to waft yummy smells around .. you never know it might just entice her if she really is in your area! Fingers, toes and everything crossed!

2012-11-17 22:31 Bob

Just to let you know that we have been to Broadoak today to check the clothing and food that we put down last night but it was still there so we have moved it to another area close by but still in the area that Tiga tracked. We have also put posters through letterboxes in that area and will go back tomorrow and put more along the Chitcombe road. Tonight we had a call from a friend who thought she may have seen Misty in Butchers lane Three oaks which is not far from where we live so we went to look and call for her but no luck so will try again in the morning. Never know she might find her way home we are all willing her to we need her back home! Bob and Rene.

2012-11-16 12:53 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Oh well done JB and Tiga .. what a star! That all makes sense and yes must be careful not to encourage her near to the road.

2012-11-16 09:45 Tiga

Unless we hear confirmation of this possible sighting I think we can assume it has come from Tiga confirmng the sighting of last week. I actually believe that Tiga was face to face with Misty in the undergrowth but she was able to slither out the other side and was off. Had it been a deer it would have scarpered quickly with Tiga in tow and it was not a rabbit. It moved slowly but surely out the opposite side to us and then Tiga tracked in and out of some woods and then in a big loop round along roads and back to the same place except going on past. We decided to call it a day as it was dark and the road was very busy and we didn't want to chase her near roads.
So now we need posters in that area and patience hoping she will settle back down in this area. Owners have to visit regularly with food and clothing and have a BBQ and sit and wait maybe in the car watching. They musn't lay a scent towards the road. Come on Misty - I think you want to be found now and get back in the warm.

Great news! Would be good to have details of the sighting on Thursday. JB .. did Doglost CJ get in touch re the dog trap that she has and is happy to use for Misty (she has it in Maidstone)? Have offered to help poster on Sunday .. unfortunately think I will be busy Saturday. Is there anyone else that could put some up before then so we could alert people in the area? Hoping and keeping everything crossed that Misty stays in that area and shows herself again. Come on Misty..time you went home!

Hi, would just like to say a big thanks to Jenny and Tiga for another good job in confirming last weeks sighting and all that are helping in the mission to track down Misty.Now it feels like we can move forward again rather than be in limbo waiting for another sighting! Once again thanks for all for your help, Come on home Misty! Many Thanks Bob and Rene.

2012-11-15 21:41 Tiga

Yes it would be good to hear from anyone who knows about this sighting. I have been down again today tracking with Tiga and he confirmed the sighting from last week, so owners are going to put some clothing down with some food in this area and see what happens.

2012-11-15 20:51 samellie

Apparantly this dog was spotted in Broadoak today?, anyone know anything about this?

2012-11-11 21:13 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Well done Bob .. at least the sun was out! If Misty is in this area she is bound to smell scent left by you. Come on Misty .. time to go home.

2012-11-11 18:08 Bob

Hi, just to let everyone know that we did the walk down from Hysted right down to the bottom through the wood and across and up to come out in the Pett road. Up to the top of white hart hill back to Martinau lane back up there to Fairlight Lodge, left and back to Hysted to pick up the car. A quick look around the country park where she had been tracked etc: Once again Thank you all for your help, Bob and Rene

2012-11-11 06:26 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Other places to try .. English Shetland Sheepdog Rescue: Mrs C Ripley, Hoddesdon, Herts. 01992 461627 and Battersea at Brands Hatch 01474 874994. The old house mentioned below is more derelict than burnt out and is just after a stile and before the pond on the right. Hoping that the sighting at Brede is Misty .. she definietley could have got there by continuing along Broad Street which splits into 2 rough tracks and goes off into woodland. Someone should have told Misty she was supposed to turn left and head towards Doleham and home tho!!

Saw my friends and have permission to track on their land provided we let them know prior to going. There is a footpath starting from Hysted on Fairlight Rd that runs down past this land all way to first part of track leading to Fairlight Hall (turn left & it rejoins Martineau Lane)..where Tiga picked up scent recently. Just off this path is an old burnt out building that a lost dog used before. Also here are some old disused piggerys opposite the entrance to the country park. Worth a try by JB and Tiga if in the area. The barking dog mentioned was heard in the evening & came from opposite same property..so between Martineau Lane & the Pilot field car park..so was not at a time the public would normally be walking dogs. As JB suggeted ringing kennels regularly is important, ones I wld ring are..Blue Cross Northiam, RSPCA Brighton, Barby Keel Sidley, Kit Wilson Uckfield, Raystede Ringmer, Last Chance, Dogs Trust Shoreham & Viking Oak Sevenoaks. Also Highlands Fm Kennels at Horam 01435 813659, which is a new one to me (will mention this one to Teasel's owner too)!

Had long conversation with Rene this evening..I met someone I hadn't seen in years in the supermarket tonight and her elderly mum has a lot of land just off Martineau Lane, near Fairlight Lodge Hotel. As soon as I mentioned Misty was missing, she said that was strange as they had heard a dog barking in their area. Also they had been in their fields and spotted poos that were not belonging to their dogs and were convinced they were not from a fox. This was yesterday and these people are country folk and know animals very well, so I think there is a possibilty it could be Misty. It is absolutely the right area and they said the poo looked too big for their small dog and too small for their big one, also not right for a fox! When Tiga scented down Martineau Lane she picked up scent near Fairlight Hall which is very near to where this lady's private land is. Let's hope this is where Misty is hanging out .. I am going to go and visit them tomorrow and ask if I can have a look around and maybe put a cage with clothing smelling of owners in the field. I have suggested owners try and get a dog trap from somewhere. Admin .. do you know of anyone in the area that we could get one from please? Am keeping everything crossed that this is a positive lead!

2012-11-09 18:12 Lissy

No longer local unfortunately but grew up in the area. The area Misty seems to be covering has a train line (fortunately diesel and not overly busy) running straight through it. The trains are slow and give a good view of the surrounding countryside - postering the stations between Rye and Hastings may be a good idea, to make drivers and passengers aware. Just a thought, have shared on FB, good luck!

Message passed to JB via Owl...JB is at a show but I am sure she will be in touch soon.

2012-11-08 14:15 Bob

Hi just been out to see a lady, near to where we work in Brede who had just seen a Sheltie just a mile or so away fitting her description.So I have been up to meet her and give a few calls etc: Did Not find her but the lady only called me as she thought it was her neibours dog but when she called hers was at home and was told about our missing Misty! So now I need to locate JB if possible for another track with Tiga before its to late. Hope that is a bit more hope as only this morning. Bob

2012-11-08 01:24 Bob

Hi, Just to say other than the call from Renes work last week we feel a bit sad to say there seems to be no sightings, just waiting and hope to hear something soon! Here's waiting for that call Bob and Rene.

2012-11-05 09:32 Tiga

Bob, - we had this with the eyes at Fairlight, we knew they were not bunnies because they did not run off and came closer when called - so we stalked them and they turned out to be badger cubs.

2012-11-05 08:27 Bob

Just to say we would like to thank all the help we have been having, we think that Jenny and Tiga gives us all a much more hope as it backs up sightings,we wait for more sightings! We went just into Broad Street and in the paddock with the owner on Friday evening and went across a couple of fields and on starting back towards Broad Street we could see a pair of eys which remained there until Rene who walked towards the eyes calling Misty, got within a few yards? But we don't know if that could have been her or not. We also thank Clarkey for the help that she has given plus all and anyone behind the scenes Many Thanks Bob and Rene.

2012-11-03 14:09 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Owners think they may have seen Misty again in the paddock at Broad St. altho not sure. Collected lots of laminated posters and put them up in Broad St area/Icklesham shop/Robin Hood pub. I have also postered the whole of Broad Street right down to the 2 rough tracks and houses on the left (as you go in to B.St.)..could not do more as ran out! Also sat in Country Park car park fm first light giving dog walkers posters to take with them. I will ask owners to check kennels again as suggested but think it unlikely Misty has been picked up as she is so nervous and runs away fm people and other dogs.

2012-11-03 10:15 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

This area does not have just one kennel that they use but a number so can always find a space for strays.
When a dog is found animal wardens will check against ones reported as missing to them and then notify owners.
Plus of course Misty is chipped so any rescues would scan for this as well.
Definately worth spreading word to vets etc and in deed any listed rescues found by searching any listed.

2012-11-03 10:03 Tiga

I think it would be worth someone sitting down and ringing all the vets, the kennels, police, dog wardens, rangers, those that empty the car park machines etc again as when I tried to do it it was almost impossible to find out where a dog was taken in this area if it was picked up. Tiga picked up good scent in the car park at Fairlight and it could be possible Misty has been picked up there and sitting in kennels. I know she is microchipped but sometimes they do 'vanish' and don't work and as per the message on the home page of this web - there is a bad batch out there that do not read. There must be more kennels not contacted.

Bumped for sightings.

2012-11-02 17:29 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Productive morning doing posters .. also spoke to Catherine who is the East Hastings St. Warden covering Fairlight area. Cathy has emailed info and picture of Misty to the Country Park Rangers so they will keep a look out for Misty, which is great news as she is in that area. Also informed Mallydams re confirmation of Misty in the area as their reserve is imbetween area of both sightings. Dare I say it is looking good? POSTER POWER is what we need .. so I'm going to get out there and do more tomorrow. We just need Misty to show herself now! Come on Misty .. time to get you home!

2012-11-02 11:44 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hv bn keeping in touch wiht Bob and Rene thru emails and sooo pleased to hear that Tiga found a scent! Now we know which fields Misty was seen in!! Excellent news indeed backing up the 2 sightings that Bob and Rene had info on. Have postered as many places in Fairlight as possible and informed as many private landowners/farmers I can contact. Will go and help do more posters if needed tomorrow as not bogged down with work then.

2012-11-02 00:00 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Worth a bump then if its Tiga and Jenny...what a team...Taught by Owl and Whisper...

2012-11-01 23:09 Tiga

Yes Tiga confirmed 2 possible sightings, so these 2 places need to have more posters put up in the hope that other sightings will take place and reported sooner so that we can get Misty home soon. Willing to go down again as soon as we get another sighting. Come on Misty Lucy is missing you.

2012-11-01 21:29 Bob

I would just like to thank Jenny for all the help today with tiga who performed just magic! and now backs up the sightings, once again thank you for your help Bob and Rene.

2012-11-01 09:36 Tiga

Just spoken to the owner and as Tiga is on a roll at the moment I could well be going down to track this little girl and see if we can get her home.

2012-10-31 21:21 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Met Rene today whilst out postering! Have tried to alert farmers/land owners in Fairlight area, and have put posters where local people will go .. Fairlight P.O.(where I met Rene doing the same thing!) Wakeham Farm shop, Pett Butchers shop. Rene went to Country Park to put laminated posters up (as mine probably destroyed by the weather!) also the coastguard cottages. Bob and Rene still trying to pinpoint which fields Misty was seen in.

2012-10-31 00:13 Bob

Hi,Thanks again for all your help, Feel free to ring my mobile number if you would like and laminated posters to put anywhere I can always drop some off on my way home Rene and myself carry a few round with us and I print up some more when we run out! Many thanks to all Bob and Rene

2012-10-30 19:38 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Thanks Bob. I would say that it is Misty and I think you should go on that assumption. The chances are that she is still moving around in the fields and local area. Just keep looking! I went to the country park early this morning and put up some posters in the car park, but unfortunately I could not get the whole doglost poster to load on to my printer and they are not laminated so will not last long .. sorry. Had photo and your phone numbers on though. I think it is a good place to put them as so many local dog owners go there. Shame we don't know which fields the walkers spotted Misty in as we may have been able to plot a triangle..don't suppose they left a contact number? Doglost experts have often said that dogs travel this way after they have been lost for some time. Have put the word out to lots of friends in the area (again) and have also been to Mallydams (RSPCA Wildlife centre)and spoken to them ..they have put a poster up. Also they have a lot of grounds there and are very observant so wld prob notice anything unusual/any disturbance to their wildlife on the reserve .. maybe Misty is going through there on occasion. Wakeham Farm shop Fairlight. I think you need to 'flood' the area with posters now 'cos Misty needs to be known to all! Poster power .. it's so so important. Also people need to be aware she is still missing. I could help you take posters to houses in the area at the weekend if you like.. will be putting some up anywhere I can get to this week of course, but am working everyday like yourselves. If you want to set up a search just let us know where and when. Soooo frustrating for you .. come on Misty, please show yourself again!

2012-10-30 08:24 Bob

PS I forgot to say we are not sure were the sighting at Fairlight was at this time? plus I am not sure as to what places out there have our posters as other people have posted some of the posters out there for us and information has not come back to yet? I wil ring round to day and try to up date later tonight and my wife is going to drive round over that area and check out the posters. Many thanks to all Bob and Rene

2012-10-30 08:16 Bob

Hi, I probably havent explained in the right way! The sighting at fairlight was by four people walking who said it was a sheltie and the called and tried to spread out and try to enclose her, but as expected she ran off. The Broad Street sighting was last Friday night at six o clock by a young girl who got off the bus.That was four days after the Fairlight sighting ( if ) the Broad Street Icklesham sighting was her? (Who knows as we are all dependant on who knows the sheltie breed )We just keep all sightings as a bonus and have to explore all routes. Many Thanks Bob and Rene

2012-10-29 22:21 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Bob .. I see you mentioned Misty was seen at Fairlight, I didn't realise it was there .. was this the sighting you mentioned on the 26th? Which fields was she spotted in .. were they on your side of Broad Street? Would help to know. Also wonder if she could have been scavenging for food up at the car park of the country park as people tend to drop bits of sandwiches etc. I will go into the car park on my way through to work 6-7am and take my hubbies binoculars .. you never know I might get lucky and see her! Do Mallydams the RSPCA Wildlife centre know about her? They have a lot of ground up there and also have lots of visitors .. another excellent place to put up posters! Got to swamp the area!

2012-10-29 21:10 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Yes, I know exactly where you mean. Have you been to Harborough Nurseries to alert them? The lady you speak of may be owner of the horses in the field on the corner by North Lane that used to belong to friends of mine (I work with horses) or the stables up the road on N St side..would also be worth going into Buckswood School as they have massive grounds/fields there and outbuildings, stables etc .. the children may have seen Misty. I work up in Rosemary Lane and go there early mornings (6.30am) so will keep my eyes peeled! How about putting posters in the farm shop on the main road, Little Sherwood Ind Estate .. I will try and print some and put them around Fairlight etc..Wakeham Village shop will take one I am sure.. just have to pursuade my printer to work! It really sounds as though she is trying to make her way home, so keep calling and looking. Remember to give her somewhere she could settle if she comes back to your garden in the night time, with her bedding or something that has fresh scent of you on it. Might be worth putting some of her favorite food there too. Another animal may take it but worth a try as she could smell it if nearby. Sound carries a long way in the quiet hours so forget upsetting the neighbours .. keep calling! I'm sure they will understand. I emailed my friends in 14 acre lane and they will look out for her when they are riding out. Will ask them to look at this page for your latest details. Oooo .. she is so close to coming back to you .. stay strong and keep at it. Good luck.

Hi, She was last seen on the edge of the A259 at Broad Street and as far as we know was in the top of Broad Street which drops down towards the railway and is a right of way. ( this is about a mile Hastings end of Icklesham where as the Queens Head is the Rye end ) Both of these places I think have right of ways and I think from my ( some what shot away memory ) would meet near the railway.We would think that if she was seen in Fairlight about six days ago and at six 'O'clock on Friday night that it may be possible for her to come down and around and come up to north lane which is back towards us in Fourteen acre lane ? (not sure but hope unless we have another sighting) We walked round from home at Fourteen acre lane into North lane round to the A259, along to Butchers lane and down to the other end of Fourteen acre lane and along to home calling for her at difference points along the route.We did meet a nice person on the main road at Guestling who has a stable and some ground who will call us if she or friends have any sightings of Misty ( as they are quite close to the last seen area ) We find the hardest problem is knowing which way she travelled from the top end of Broad Street? did she go down or go into some ones garden/shed/barn etc:? we just need that vital call at the time she is seen to zip over to where ever and call and coax her to us? Once again thanks for all the help, here's waiting! Bob and Rene

2012-10-28 22:25 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Bob, any luck? Wondering if you could say which fields Misty was seen in..was it in the valley below the Queen's Head? Or was it sonewhere nearer to Guestling? Just wondering as I know people who have permission to ride on the private land down there and also could contact the land owner and farmer who keeps sheep on the fields there. Let me know if poss please. Also you may get the Queen's Head to give you permission to have a BBQ (as suggested by Lorraine!) in their car park when no one else is around. Thanks.

2012-10-28 01:29 Lorraine

Fingers crossed for Misty, a good tip for the disposable BBQ is gammon...tried & tested by a owner who lost her dog. She sat in the last known sighting spot cooking sausages and gammon...lo and behold after 5 hours her dog crept up to her from behind :)

2012-10-27 22:05 DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent

Fantastic news. They are little toughies. I suspect she may be fed up living wild now and everything's crossed for her safe return. Being out so long she may well be spooky, so approach carefully. A BBQ might help to entice her as well. xx

2012-10-27 18:48 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Admin .. would you bump this page due to recent sighting please?

2012-10-27 18:45 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Oh Bob, At last a positive sighting.. what great news! I said not to give up, it's surprising how if you persist with posters and publicity how quickly things can change! It sounds as if Misty has been in your area most of the time, she probably has somewhere to hole up at night .. loads of barns and outbuildings in the Icklesham area (used to work in stables nr Queen's Head) Also she would have access to water in the valley there. Perhaps put a poster in that pub and also the Robin Hood on the main Rd? If you haven't found her by Monday it wld be a good idea to get a poster or 2 to Guestling School/Ickesham Jnr School/Harborough Nursery etc if you haven't already. Hopefully Misty will be more likely to come to you in this cold weather and also you have the extra hour to search 2mrw too. Good luck .. got everything crossed for you!

2012-10-27 14:52 AnnieSparky

Hoping Misty is home soon and sightings are positive.

I know this is probably way off course not to mention miles away so hope you dont mind me posting but I noticed a lovely Sheltie on the Birmingham Dogs Home webpage and wanted to make sure.
They call her "Tess" and shes reserved, dont know the history though there is a small description.
www.birminghamdogshome.org.uk/re-homing2/meet-our-dogs?id=10864
Call Sunnyside Centre Rehoming Team to enquire about this dog on 01902 790618 and quote reference 432228

Update: sorry just noticed says "Rough Collie" and literally just changed to "rehomed"

Will keep checking for Misty x

Hi, im new to the area and saw Misty's ad in the Sussex Express last night. Great news on the recent sighting! Hope it brings some positive news for you today. I will share Misty's details on my facebook page and will also send out details on twitter. Good luck with your search today. Adele.x

2012-10-26 23:06 Bob

Hi, just to update everyone tonight I had a call from a friend at Icklesham saying that his grandaughter had seen a small lassie type dog at about six tonight when she got off the school bus,so this is the best sighting and the nearest to the sighting as it was only two hours on.We whent straight over there and call for her and put up a fer more posters around the area.When we got back home I found another message on the phone telling me that about four days ago four people walking had seen a sheltie just trotting around a field so they tried to catch her by spreading out but she legged it! ( that sounds about what she would do!) so that would fit and on that sort of route she is heading towards home. So we will be back over there tomorrow morning at dusk for a wander and call her. Fingers crossed lets hope we can bring her home.Many thanks once again I will keep you all posted when I know more Bob.

2012-10-26 08:39 DogLostShelties Mum - Area Volunteer, Kent

And it's an idea with children to say Misty's a lassie type. I get that all the time with my two even though they're not.

2012-10-25 10:35 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Well done Bob and Rene, You are doing everything you can and important not to give up. Keep postering everywhere you can think of .. perhaps put one up in the White Hart's car park and one inside if they will help! Any of the business's on the main road. Have you mentioned it to the school? Often children are more eagle eyed than we think. Also Ivy House Estate and the caravan park up near there..as well as the two in Rock Lane. I expect you hv done all that, but worth asking!

Hi, just remembered to put down where we had walked, we have done:- right of ways from:- Rock lane to Winchelsea lane and back,Rock farm across to the A259 and back,the right of way from Guestling Green through the fields and wood up and into Eight Acre Lane up to Rock Lane and up to Victoria Avenue through to and along Winchelsea lane down White Hart Hill and back to the green,from Doleham Lane down Pattersons farm right of way across and down to the stream along towards Hastings up through the woods over the vioduct above the railway keep going up through to Fourtee Acre Lane and back home, many times from home through all the fields until we reach Butchers Lane and back home,and all up and round the fishing lake area at the bottom of Queensway, thats all I can think of for the moment Thanks for all your help and encouragement Bob and Rene.

2012-10-25 01:11 Bob

Hi, just a note to advise we did receive scenting advise many thanks for that Bob and Rene

2012-10-24 20:23 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Have put her details on to Missing pets in Kent page on Facebook, just in case she has gone that direction. Glad you did Rock Farm, and yes, have done that walk many a time .. goes for miles and very few people around. Hope the stables up near the A259 have a poster. Had to be worth a try .. well done. Keeping fingers crossed Misty shows herself somewhere soon.

2012-10-24 13:51 Lorraine

Bob I emailed scenting advice, did you get it? x

2012-10-24 08:41 Bob

Hi, we did do that a few weeks ago and went right down through the woods and virtually up to the A259. I will try to list where we have been over the last few weeks tonight as we are just off to work Many Thanks Bob and Rene

2012-10-24 06:28 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Gd morning Bob, Thanks for posting .. yes I know the kennels and have friends who live in 14 acre. It's awful for all of you. Glad you're still actively looking .. if you want to search Rock Farm (very large and quiet)& goes way up to the woods, just go and ask at the cottage, as it's in the process of being sold and is quiet up there at the moment.

2012-10-24 02:10 Bob

Hi, Just to say thanks for the help and encouragement we keep looking and hoping that Misty will turn up. We live in Fourteen Acre Lane so we are not that far from where she slipped her collar ( Which she has done to me a couple of times, but she won't run off from myself or my wife )And she was in kennels which we have a high regard for and feel very sorry for them, as it must be as bad as it is for us! So all we want is to keep hoping for a sighting or news of our little freind.Once again thanks to everyone for there help Bob and Rene

2012-10-23 19:07 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Sorry .. meant to ask..do you live in Rock Lane or was Misty in kennels there? Also here is the link for the dog wardens phone numbers .. http://www.animalwardens.co.uk/lost-found-dogs-search/all-dog-warden-phone-numbers. Good to see Misty is registered on there!

2012-10-23 18:59 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Bob, Please don't despair. Whilst it's a while since a sighting, you have to assume that those were Misty. It has often been said on these pages that lost dogs tend to travel in a triangle and also that they change their behaviour .. ie will become more likely to hide in the daytime and only be out in the very early hours and dusk etc. She may make her way back to your area so just keep looking everywhere. You are doing the right thing by putting lots of posters up .. the more the better and this will serve to jog people's memories if they have seen her. Remember to keep in constant contact with the vets, rescue homes and the dog wardens (Sussex/Kent and Wealden)..Blue Cross, RSPCA Brighton, Barby Keel Sidley, Kit Wilson Uckfield, Raystede, Last Chance, Dogs /Trust Shoreham .. if Misty is picked up by someone it often happens that they take them home to their area and then report it so put her info everywhere. If you continue to walk in places where you have previously taken Misty and perhaps look again close to home.. could she be holed up somewhere nearby? I used to have a horse at Rock Fm and there is such an abundance of fields, woods etc in the area where she could be hiding. Also would be wise to leave some food and bedding (smelling of you/her) in a sheltered place in your garden in case she makes her way back at night time. Don't give up hope .. one good thing is that she is microchipped and that will get her back to you if she is found elsewhere. If you decide to do a search I am happy to help as are others who have said so on this page. Good luck .. let's hope Misty shows herself soon.

2012-10-22 08:25 Bob

Hi, Thanks for your interest and thoughts on Misty.I just wish we had some up to date sightings as both have been nearly a week after the event and just wonder where anyone would start? We keep adding more and more posters wider out.We also know just how timid she is and would only come to us (as most sheltie's) we are just not sure in which direction to start? any information please feel free to email me as I pick up them at most times of the day and evening. Here is Forever hoping Bob & Rene ( email= ducatiurbert@gmail.com )

2012-10-21 15:35 samellie

This little lady has been missing for a few weeks now. Dont know anything about scenting/trapping but cant we start something in the areas that theres been sightings etc?. I live local and would be more than willing to help out with people who know how we could do it?

2012-10-17 03:13 Bob

Hi, Just to say we went down to the fishing lake where it was mentioned late this afternoon till dark, walking around the lake and various woods and gorse etc: calling for Misty but without any sightings. We put up another poster on the entrance gate in hope of any more sightings. Bob and Rene.

2012-10-15 19:42 Bob

Hi, Thanks for all and help and information about sightings of Misty or her type of Dog. we will go down to that area and call her at dusk or dawn as that should be the best time as she is timid and only comes to my wife or myself! We would love to hear of any more sightings of her! and keep hoping? Many thanks Bob & Rene Alstin

2012-10-15 00:23 pixies peeps

Sorry my last information was a bit out of date.Went into chase that day to check the poster I had given them was still up. Am still looking in the area as I go up there frequently.

2012-10-14 01:28 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Bob, Can't see my previous post re Old Church rd but glad you know about it and that Chases hv bn kind enough to make the call. You could try looking down in Church in the woods and around that area..theres so much woodland around there, but would perhaps go to the area where the ponds are as people may drop scraps of food there after fishing and she could also get a drink there. The best time to go is early morning and dusk when it's quiet..and there may be people night fishing that you could alert. Put loads of posters up everywhere! Do hope you get another sighting soon, it's time Misty went home. Don't give up! If there's anything I can do to help please let me know.

Hi, we are the owners of Misty the missing Sheltie. We have just been reading through your last comment Re: Misty seen at Old Church Road which is in the Hollington area of Hastings It was a sighting a good few days before it was posted.We believe it passed through a number of people and then back to Chase Vets Who rang the keepers of Misty while we were away on holiday. They in turn rang me to update me as the original lost dog was set up with them and until now not with our numbers (Now on Dog Lost ) We now just need an up to date sighting so we can go and encourage her out as with most Shelties will only come to who they most know and trust! Many Thanks for everyones help so far Bob And Rene.

Seems quiet on this page. I spoke to someone who lives in Rock Lane and it seems Misty is still missing.

2012-09-25 16:24 the sheltie lady

I have cross posted this to the sheltie email list so all sheltie folk will now be aware - hopefully, some one local can help in the search for her. It has already been posted onto the sheltie forum too . The found dog that has been mentioned is a rough collie - this is not Misty, as she is a sheltie

Glad to see that Misty is on doglost now. Have shared on Fbk and told lots of people in the area about her. I gather from a comment on her original photo on Fbk that she was seen in the field next to the blocked bridleway in Rock Lane last Wed. Have there bee any sightings since then? There is so much open land around there thatshe is likely to be holed up somewhere in this weather. If you are able to place a cage with some of her favorite food and her bedding or some clothes with her mum's smell on it somewhere she may visit it. You can print posters (laminated if poss 'cos of the rain) from this page and put them up everywhere in the area so people are aware she is missing. Perhaps try going out in the very early morning/dusk and call her when it is quiet. If you wish to do a search I am happy to help and I am sure others would to. Just let us know please. Hope you find Misty very soon. Good luck.
