thanks for the message; I had two referring to the found dog. Sadly not Fritz as it has a white chest. Very informative chat with finder however, who is most helpful.

Lucy, I know it's a long shot but there is a terrier cross on the found page of this site. Did Fritz have any white on him. May be worth a look. Sue

Thank you so much for posting. In answer to your question, sadly not, I did have a call from a lady with some information on a very similar looking dog but it was not Fritz. I also telephoned Rochdale on the basis of information received but the dog was not neutered. Please continue to look as posters and microchips are the only way he'll be found now. Lucy

Sorry there's still no news Lucy. I think all you can do is to make sure that everyone knows that Fritz is still missing and go over old ground. I'm glad you've felt able to give a home to Ed. Poor little chap- four homes in three years.

Just logged in to download some posters. I have to re-do the place Fritz was first lost and send off to vets again. I have adopted a three year old West Highland Terrier who is very gentle and good natured with my grandchildren and ignores the cats - until just now when Maxie (pictured) ventured down the stairs and Ed gave a low growling noise probably because Maxie hasnt showed his face! It's ironic; the other cat, Spyro is very bold and comes into the kitchen but Max has hidden upstairs for three days! Maxie was Fritz's best mate. I'm doing training OK with baby gate on the kitchen (Ed is not completely house trained) and fed cats upstairs (yes I know it's wrong and they should just fight it out) food for cats is now at the bottom of the stairs, slowly slowly catchy monkey. Ed and Spyro both love cheese and that is a key feature in the training! Ed is on his fourth home (due to both previous owners being disabled) but will settle with us just fine, I'm sure and WHEN Fritz returns Ed will be more company for him. I am at a complete loss to know what else to do about getting Fritz back apart from keep postering and pestering vets. I took Maxie to the vet for MOT and got them to check his microchip and it's still there.

Thanks for talking to your vet Lyn. I found ASDA was taking the posters down after about a week at first but when I went in a spoke to one of the greeters on 21st Dec, the poster has remained ever since. There's absolutely no news at all. I just have to wait which is still very hard. Still, there are all sorts of avenues to explore, teenagers who hang around outside the co-op because they are bored are ideal as they all go to school somewhere. The last lot I spoke to were very keen to duplicate the posters and distribute around the school and given their personality, I think other kids would listen! I still sit here iin the evenings and unthinkingly jump up out of my chair to get the lead for a walk; that is sad. Also I keep looking at RSPCA for a 'friend' for Fritz but so far no dog or puppy has proved suitable. The biggest issue is to get on with other dogs (ie Fritz), cats and small children.

With the cat showing, I think the picture is valuable. I really don't know what to do. Sorry Nik, let's leave it for a while. People really just do not realise how small Fritz is. You could sit on him! He's about the size of a yorkie.

He really is very small isn't he, he looks quite a bit like one of our dogs and I had the impression he was about the same size which is about as high as a springer spaniel, so everyone is now aware they are looking for a little dog. Dolly 6.2.05

I know it seems to have gone a bit quieter now. But that's only because the information has already 'gone round', and not because people have stopped looking. I'm certain that you still have a lot of local people hoping every day that today might be the day. Louise

2006-01-18 16:42 Fritz64

yes. my purpose for this picture was to show his size relative to Maxie. I sent a 'standing up' picture which also didn't show off his face so well. I think it might be better to revert to the old picture even though some people questioned the size. Not feeling very hopeful currently. It's difficult to sit back and say that the posters will do the job. It's very depressing updating posters.

Hm, not sure about new pic. It's a nice pic, but perhaps not quite as clear as the original, in terms of showing off his features - unless, as Nik says, it looks more like him if you've had the pleasure of meeting Fritz in person. Is it possible to have a poster that shows both pics? Or would they have to be too small to be useful? Hope you're still hanging on in there Lucy. Louise

Am assuming that Jayne or Rach uploaded the pic. I did manage to bring up Fritz on the original (corrupted) image so that you could see his features properly. I can do it again with the new file, but not until later in the week. He certainly looks very different in this shot - the other one suggests he's more compact. It's a bit difficult voting for a pic when you haven't had the pleasure of meeting the contestant in person !!

Probably means that the person registered was a previous owner and the new owners never bothered transferring their details to the dog. When we got Tess we had to pay ?10 to get the details changed for the chip. Trouble is, some people don't want to pay. Sue

In dogs found today, there is a cairn terrier - could Fritz b e mistaken for a Cairn Terrier, I'm not sure what they are. the description says microchipped but not registered! What on earth does that mean? Does it mean they cannot trace the owners of the dog.

OK. The problem is with the file itself. I have had to upload the pic that I used for the media. Lucy, can you email the new pic direct and I'll have a go, although it will need to be enhanced first.

For reasons I have yet to ascertain, the site won't upload Fritz's new picture. Bear with me for a bit whilst I try to resolve it. Normally it only accepts certain file formats and I've been through the reportoire. I'll try some others.

I'm just renewing my poster to vets from Haywards Heath to Seaford. I've done this three times now and wonder at the productivity of it. If Fritz is still with us he must be being walked somewhere? Last night, I stopped the car for a dog running, lead trailing, in Hove. Owner and dog was eventually reunited and when I gave them a picture of Fritz they said "Oh yes, we know about Fritz". A friend works for a department in Education in Brighton and she talked about her friend who had lost a dog (me) and they said "Is it Fritz?", they'd seen the Lewes posters. It seems everybody knows about Fritz but nobody knows where he is. I don't know what to do, I really don't. My ex hubby was also terribly upset about the dog not being Fritz at Southampton. We will continue to follow any leads but there just aren't any. If we can maintain the posters which are up WITH NEW DATES ON THEM, it will make people know that he is still missing and the posters haven't just got stuck there. ASDA have not taken down my poster from Xmas; I used some very emotional language on it to try to stick in peoples' minds. I posted on poor Rosie's site that perhaps Dogslost could consider e-mailing people in surrounding areas as well as the area dogs go missing in. I seem to be looking all over the place and will be happy to poster for dogs that go missing anywhere in Sussex or Hampshir or whatever.

Southampton Wardens and kennels were hugely professional and caring. It's a long journey from Brighton. When found dog came into the room, both Wallace and I did a big double take - we both thought it was Fritz got fat. The dog seemed identical in structure and behaviour and hairstyle. However, Fritz has gray hairs throughout his fur, found dog does not do any obedience commands at all and complete absence of gray hairs, it is a much younger dog we think. It was a very very wierd experience when you look at a dog which is 'almost' just like yours but isn't. If Rod posts a picture of found dog, you might just see what we experienced.

Well, having sent more pictures of Fritz, one dog warden thinks strong possibility it is Fritz, another says she thinks not. I'm going to Southampton tomorrow, I'll ask either boyfriend or ex hubby to go with me. My son thinks some of the pictures of found dog are a dead ringer, one of them just doesn't fit and we agree. But then I have a piccy of Fritz which just doesn't look like him at all. Are we all agreed that if it is Fritz, he will know me? How many dogs look like Fritz? is he more ordinary looking than I though?

Have you called hope in the valley riding stables in Lewes? they run dog training courses so a lot of people who are local attend. Might be a good place for info. Has there been any more sightings? also what time of day were the ones in the park in Lewes? and i'll try and aim to get there the same sort of time.

There used to be a hunt as you went into Ringmer on the right hand side from Lewes (i am going back many years now so not sure if it is still there). Lucy have e-mailed you the numbers we talked about on the phone the other day. Sorry for the delay but i had thought i had done it. (old age catching up with me)

The local hunt is a brilliant idea as not only will those that actually hunt cover loads of ground but the foot followers will walk miles with them and are almost always huge dog lovers - so many horse lovers own a dog and will be sympathetic to your loss. The hard bit is finding local hunts (especially now as they don't advertise themselves) but start with the riding stables you have been to as they will have details. It would really be worthwile going to the hunt kennels and talking to the staff if you can.

It does sound like between the two of you you're making great strides in the area, the phone calls coming into Lucy really do prove that people are looking. Fritz can't be too far now.

A phone call to the hunt isn't silly at all. I have found kennel huntsmen very helpful in the past. They have a good eye for dogs and notice any they see running loose.

The Stanley Turner ground turns out to be where i first started putting the posters up the other day. I'm not sure how the person seemed to think there was a church there but i found it on my way home. Didnot know what it was before. I think between myself and Lucy we must have walked a huge section of Lewes today but didnot manage to find each other. I know it sounds silly but maybe a phone call to the hunt incase they saw anything while out today.

Lyn and I did not manage to find each other, I think we were at different stables! However lots of people I spoke to had seen Fritz posters and Lyn and I put more up. I was prevented from finding Southover Church or Stanley Turner ground as there was a massive hold up in the central road and I got lost in the diversion. The stables I went to were very helpful and I posted every house on the site. Spoke to lots of dog owners and walkers. I've also revisited Waterhall where Fritz went missing and put new posters up - the old ones have not been maintained by you know who.

I cannot edit my last post but it seems they have built houses there since the last time i have been. So you need to go to the prison and turn left, just after the prision on the left is an area where you can park and this seems the most common way into the race course now. Have also got a few telephone numbers of people who use the race course that may be of some use to you.

Lucy take the first Lewes turn off from the A27, as you go along on the right is Hope in the Valley riding stables on the left should be an area where you can park. The race course starts just up there on the left. It is not used for racing but trainers use it for exericising. I'll try and be there for about 9.30ish.

Thanks Lyn, I shall be going to Lewes 9.30ish. I'll call you on your mobile just to see where you are. I'll getting some more posters together that show Fritz with the cat to give an idea of size. This is the fourth call from the Lewes posters so if nothing else, they are generating a response. Wouldn't it be fantastic if we found him! Do you know Lewes Racecourse? I'd never heard of it. I would imagine it's an old jeans and walking boots job. I was going to borrow my friend's dog Woody but he's rather boisterous which is OK on any other occasion but this one. The woman who phoned is adamant that this is Fritz but then, she doesn't know Fritz but I really really appreciate people like her taking the trouble to call.

I had a call this morning, whilst in Bristol. A lady out walking her dogs saw a dog similar to Fritz two days ago, all alone, by some farm buildings by Lewes Racecourse. She said black and brindle but it could be that she was looking diretly at his face, where he has a lot of ginger fur. I'm not sure of the geography of it but I'll be there tomorrow morning, checking it out and putting up more posters.

Hi Lucy, just to say that I'm still thinking of you and very much hoping you find your boy really soon. Must be weird to have Christmas stuff going on. Hope you still manage to find a way to enjoy it. Try not to let the shadow completely block out the sun, huh. Louise

Lyn, your posters have been mentioned now by three people but the sightings are all two weeks old. I am hoping to go out on Boxing day and I'll try to get some local cafes, shops etc. I don't know the area at all but I'll start at the Stanley Turner ground. People will be walking their dogs more often over Xmas.

Most papers are part of the Argus group and I'm not going to get that lucky again. A little localised advertising is required. Select a few local newsagents and pay them to insert the leaflets. You ought to be able to get all their rounds for ?20 rather than just the one paper boy/girl !! If they're animal lovers they may even do it for nothing.

Excellent - that sounds positive Lucy! Nik any chance of persuading Lewes papers to run anything again? Lucy if this isn't possible have you considered getting the local paper boy to deliver to the area he was seen in? You may need to slip him ?20 to get him to add the poster to his paper round but I'm pretty sure any 13 year old kid would jump at the chance.

Today I had a call from a lady who saw a dog like Fritz in Lewes about two weeks ago she thinks. She saw the posters afterwards and neverhad a pen with her. This was at the Stanley Turner Grounds by Southover church. Even though there are few helpers in this area, somebody may be following Fritz's progress on dogslost and see this post and keep looking. The lady will look out for the man and dog again and get into conversation and report back anything of note. She likened the dog seen to an Australian terrier which is rather more long haired than Fritz but about the same size and build. At the time of the first 'sighting' in Lewes, I did post vets in the area. To my knowledge, the sussex express did not print an article.

Good to know you have such a helpful vet. I use a very large and reputable practice and quized them last week on their scanning policy and got 'dunno, we haven't got one.' Don't give up on Brighton just yet - just because it has lots of visitors it doesn't necessarily mean that Fritz has been taken to the other end of the country.

I took Spyro to the vet today for his annual check up. My vet had received one of my posters through his own front door. It was reassuring when he told me that anybody coming to this practice would have to answer some stringent questions about where they had acquired an adult dog and ownership would be proved. He also agreed that badgers are not to blame and goes with the theory that somebody has got Fritz and that he could be anywhere in the country, given that Brighton is a tourist area.

Just got back from town again. I went into the Big Issue Office and they could not have been more helpful. I left about 150 posters with them which they will put into magazines. I also met a vendor in the office I'd seen on the streets yesterday who had put some posters into his magazines. I am assured that if a BI seller has him that firstly he will being well cared for and that secondly once they know there is a ?200 reward, I will get him back. I'm not convinced that Fritz is in Brighton; there is nothing 100% positive about any of the sightings. Accosted some traffic wardens also. Whilst driving I saw that some Fritz posters have been taken down and that somebody else is advertising a dog or cat lost. Why take down my posters, aren't we all in the same boat? Sadly, I also encountered the seedier side of Brighton life again, but I can live with that if Fritz comes home.

Just got back from town. Spoke to several Big Issue Sellers who were extremely helpful and spoke about being dog lovers themselves and one took a handful of my posters which he will put into the next batch of magazines. Several vendors took a poster to put up in the BI Office. I should have had more printed off if I'd known somebody would be so helpful. I'm considering putting an ad in the BI but I've done the Friday Ad which cost ?50 and only netted one call. But then again, the posters in LEWES got me a call from Brighton. Traffic wardens also are very very kind and helpful and always offer to put one up in their office. The Brighthelmstone Community Centre similarly were very very helpful and put posters in all aspects of the centre. I shall blitz Brighton during the Christmas rush and if nothing comes of it, I shall rethink in January. Not feeling too positive at the moment. Fritz is a beautiful, unique dog, not worth any money but has aesthetic value and whoever has him is not going to give him up lightly. I really miss him. I'm not sleeping well at all which is worrying if anybody cares to PM me I might like some advice.

No. I've had 300 posters printed off and we're targetting traffic wardens and Big Issue sellers and similar. Anybody who is on the street a lot of the time. I was quite optimistic but there is no feedback whatever. There is no sign of the man with his big brown dog and small black terrier. My Kleeneze lady is out again from the weekend, her other customers have posters in their windows where postmen, milkmen etc can see it. I just suspect that somebody has him and is just not prepared to give him up.

Lucy - if there are theives operating in the area Fritz went missing in then you should consider the other sightings quite seriously - he could've been picked up and sold on, quite easily. Also consider finding where the van is likely to have come from - the description sounds gypsy - does anyone local know of any sites - if so, get posters up there - they may be waiting for a poster to appear. Mouse's finder is on the case - thanks Shelley - all the girls at her kennels are to be made aware and Fritz's poster will be going up.

Warning about possible dog nappers in Wolstenbury area. This is close to where Fritz originally went missing. Somebody told me today that a lady was walking up the path towards Wolstenbury Hill when she was approached by two men in a white van who was asking her about her dogs, are they gun dogs etc. She continued walking and another white van with two women in it and cages in the back came and were driving alongside her. She immediately called the police and the van sped off before she could get the registration.

Somebody I know but who hasn't seen Fritz for quite a while saw a dog by Hove Lawns and was struck by how much he looked like Fritz but my friend thought Fritz would have grown by now. I assured him that Fritz is still very small and quite distinctive by the ginger bits around his snout. He's going to keep looking in the area. This is the BN3 area which then leads into Fishersgate and southwick which is BN41, can we ask helpers in those areas to post please.

I'm aware that homeless usually look after their dogs so that's better than being on the South Downs, if indeed this is Fritz; I found that out when I worked with travellers, there was some connection I've since forgotten. This morning, I've spoken to some homeless people in a park by the Station; they took some posters and, particularly the laldies, were very supportive. I posted a tree in the park but I don't know how long it will survive up there. The Brighthelmstone Community Centre backs onto it but it was closed. The church group who meet on a Sunday in the same building said they will get the poster up for me. I also put some posters into the letter box of the Big Issue Office asking them to display posters for me on their front door. Probably the most profitable thing I've done is speak to some traffic wardens. A poster is going up in their office. Thanks for the info on vets, Nikki, I'm on toit.

Hi. Sounds good. Have you thought of putting an ad/photo in the next edition of The Big Issue, possibly offering a reward? Also, is there a Council For Voluntary services that cover Brighton? They should be in touch with different charity organisations including animal and homeless ones and might be able to help spread the word or send an emailed poster around to various organisations. Fingers tightly crossed for you Lucy. Louise

The Dogstrust's Hope Project provides vouchers for homeless people to get vet care. To see if there is a Brighton vet call Dogstrust on 0207 837 0006 or customerservices@dogstrust.org.uk . Unfortunately I've forgotten the name of the perosn who runs the scheme. Also, check out Xmas shelter for the homeless. (Crisis ?) If a homeless person has Fritz, take comfort in the fact that they usually take very good care of dogs.

The traffic wardens used to start work at 6am and work until midnight. There is a shelter that gives out food in the evening, they have a soup trolley type thing that they have on Marine Parade near the bottom of Lower Rock Gardens in the evenings. Not sure if it is there every day but i have seen it there before. I'm afraid i'm unable to go for any long period of time at the moment due to having a 7 week old pup here to foster but if i do manage to escape i will put some more posters up. I'm glad the ones i put up got a response. Might also be worth having a word with local taxis around the station area as i'm sure most of them know the homeless people as they probably see them everyday.

sorry, that went wrong. I've asked mates to e-mail everybody in THEIR address book to keep their eyes open. Fritz was lost in the wild woods of Brighton but could easily have been brought into town and sold or given to somebody. My emergency vet service was really helpful; I telelphoned to ask where homeless people would take dogs for treatment and the receptionist knew Fritz from posters and was very well in tune with looking for him. Everybody I ever speak to these days knows Fritz. Science technician at work knows the story and is looking for him. He must be the most widely advertised dog in Sussex. I just need people to keep looking. I feel a little bit more optimistic about this sighting.

Please if there is anyone who can help please come forward - Lucy would really appreciate it - as would we!

I had a call from a sensible lady in response to the LEWES posters. (Thank youLyn). This is the story; yesterday, she saw a scruffy man (possibly homeless, she's not certain) with a big brown dog and a little black terrier type which looked 'sort of' long haired but just a scruffy, wiry coat and a full tail which points up. The little terrier did not want to be there and was barking at people and pulling. This was outside LA fitness, close to both Brighton Station and the Big Issue Office about 2pm. Her description fits Fritz. I was going to post the Big Issue Offices before but didn't as there didn't seem to be any lead going into Brighton. I hope I can find somebody to take a pile of posters to the Big Issue Offices by 9am Monday. This is when the new edition comes out. Does anybody know where traffic wardens start their day? We have hundreds in Brighton and they must start off at a central point. Ii've been looking in Brighton today but couldn't see anybody fitting the description. Jayne, will you change the poster to say possible sighting around Brighton Station? Thanks

Still have my fingers crossed for you that this is what happens, very soon. I'll be very surprised if there's anyone reading this who doesn't understand that Fritz is your baby. They're part of the family - end of story. I hope it helps just a little to know that we 'doggy' strangers are thinking of you, and hoping for a happy ending. Louise

I've read Dolly's story and Jesters and it's pretty sad reading. I've read a website referred to somewhere on this site. Am I just stupid or blind with despair?// How can somebody advertise a 9 month old yorkie puppy because job forces sale? Hello, pardon, how long have you had this dog? I had Fritz FIVE YEARS before a spell of long hours forced me to get a dog walker to stop him being bored at home my ex hubby, my neighbour, my son, ANYBODY you know will take the dog around the block if you're busy - ha ha my longer hours will stop around March or April and my Kleeneze lady said why on earth diddn't I ask her. I'm naive, I admit it. I didn't think people treated their pets this way. There are LOADS of dogs advertised in LOADS of places and I can't believe some of the ads I'm reading. I only wish I could get one of them that needs somewhere warm, kind, with children, adults and cats who would appreciate them rather than being advertised on some Bl***ing website. This is a nightmare for me and, I know for so many other people. I wish I could retire early and do something!

Lucy in your internet options you should be able to tell your computer which cookies to "trust" so you can include doglost there and restrict other dangerous ones. email me if you get stuck and i'll try and talk you through but i'm no internet wizard so it might be hit and miss. Very important for us all still to be putting up posters, if what the badger groups say is correct then Fritz is still either living on his wits or sitting by someone's fire. Lucy I know it's obvious but have you checked with the local police near the area of the Lewes call? He may be listed with them as a totally different dog if he has been reported at all. Pester them. You know where i am if you need me. Dee xxx

I'm not happy about having my home computer set on 'accept all cookies' but it means I can post! What does this mean for the security of my computer?/ does anybody know. I'm not happy also that there is absolutely no sign of Fritz. He's my little baby (sorry I know he's a dog). I really cannot believe that a dog disappears into thin area no matter how small he is. The badger protection societies have convinced me that if he had encountered badgers in any way, we would know by now. If he's still living feral, well, somebody must have seen him, surely. What on earth do you do with 'no information whatsoever?' I believe some people go through this with relatives - how absolutely unbelievable. If it can happen with people, it can, I suppose, happen with dogs. The 'sighting' at Lewes is tenuous to say the least. A colleague of mine has a wife working at a school in Lewes and owns a dog, walking eight miles at the weekend; he will post as well and ask his wife to see if schoolchildren can help at all. I have other thoughts and possible suggestions which I cannot post but I would appreciate others' opinions if they would care to PM me. This is nearly six weeks with almost no information. Dogs that are returned or found usually have a lead to go on and there is something to act on. I have absolutely nothing. Fritz is unique because he is a mongrel or cross breed. He is irreplaceable.

Sorry i didnot get out to Lewes yesterday but have been out this morning armed with posters. I started at the Rugby sports ground and then walked across the football fields to another field. We then went under the main A27 and along the lane that leads to the playing fields by the station. I put posters up by dog bins and at places where people had to look at them ie at bottom of steps that they have to walk up to get out of the park. There are another lot of playing fields along from the ones by the station. It might also be worth contacting Lewes Football Club as there ground is right next door to the playing fields maybe they could put an annoucement out or something. I will try and get back over to Lewes at the end of the week with more posters and do the other field.

There are various playing fields near the station, i will try a few i know and put some posters up at the entrances, if nothing else they may get someones attention. There is also a acafe i know in Lewed and i'll get them to put one up in the window if i can, it's a very well used place so you never know. I'll report back later tomorrow. Has anyone tried contacting Raystead? (local rescue centre type place for Lewes area). You cannot get in to see the dogs until you have been homechecked which is a shame but they may say over the phone if they have seen Fritz or not.

I have spoken to my daughter who went to college there and she says that there are some playing fields about five minutes walk from the station. I have sent two posters to four different vets in Lewes, although I suspect I've posted two of them before. Thank you Nik, for posting to the Lewes Newspaper; I've amended some of my posters to say missing/stolen as I think that gets people's attention. I've looked at the newspaper online and there is no dog column in classifieds. In my depressed and cynical state, I'm wondering if this is a hoax call designed to mislead. Is Lyn the only helper in the area? If this is the case, I will have to ask some non helpers to go out of their way if they live adjacent to Lewes, they might and might not. If I cannot post tomorrow, it will mean the glitch is back. Thanks everybody.

From Lucy: I've just had a call in response to my ad and picture in the Friday Ad. I don't know if it is a prank call, chap sounded a bit nervous but then you would be wouldn't you. The number was withheld, a very bad line which cut off and he hasn't rung back. All he said was that he is positive he has seen Fritz being walked by a man at the playing fields by Lewes Station. I asked if he was on or off the lead and then the phone cut off. My partner says that lots of dogs could look like Fritz to the untrained eye. Lewes is in BN7. Can you post the dogslost site to ask helpers in that area to post the station, the playing fields and areas around it for me. Can you ask Jayne and Rachel to e-mail helpers in that area. If they can't, or the helpers are not available to post will they let me know. Mike did ring Lewes police the other day but if this is Fritz, it fits everybody's theory that somebody has picked him up in the area he went from.

From Lucy: The Daily Mail Forum people have been hugely supportive. If you would like to read the threads and particularly comment on anything, please go to the following. http://chat.dailymail.co.uk postings about Fritz are in Lifestyle - Pet Talk, spirituality and healing,and caf? - feedback. You will see just what help they are trying to give. BTW, does anybody have any football connections? IE Brighton and Hove Albion

From Lucy tonight: Still cannot post don't know why. I have put a picture of Fritz on Pet Detective.org and am pleased to see that Snaggs is on there already. I have a colleague who I shall ask to post in Hurstpierpoint for Snaggs, poor boy. We're really missing Fritz. One of my cats has been attacked by another cat today whilst I was at work; Spyro has a badly sprained or even broken leg (I don't know) and I had to pick claws out of his head. I shall leave work early tomorrow to take him to the vet if he still cannot walk well. This would never have happened if Fritz were here. The Daily Mail people are really on the case, trying to get an article in the paper and contacting the Paul O'Grady show to get them to do a feature on www.dogslost.co.uk and Fritz in particular.

For some reason Lucy can't post again... but this is her update: Back to not being able to post on site. I went up to Devil's Dyke, Newtimber and surrounding areas this morning. The good news is that about 85%+ of people I spoke to already knew about Fritz, I was just adding the personal plea. I spoke to some walkers who told me they had found a dog before so know how to approach a stray. At a livery yard, I met the owner of Bardsleys Fish and Chips (famous in Brighton) who recognised me as a customer and he is going to post and also talk to Coombs, the biggest pet shop in Brighton. He knows the owners of the Devil's Dyke Farm too. I went to every farm house and barn as well as stiles etc. Devil's Dyke itself is an enormous drop into a kind of ravine where people gallop their horses and there are lots and lots of rabbit and fox holes. We feel that there is a lot of shelter if, indeed, that is where Fritz still is.

As much as we'd like to think that our dogs can't do without us, they can and do. In fact their ability to survive out there is probably much better than ours. I suspect that the reason that so few people have seen Fritz is that he's doing rather a good job !

Hi, I think that if a family has taken Fritz in, which might well be the case, the chances are that they will be good 'animal' people and will be expecting to keep him safe until they can find his owner. Try not to think the worst, I know it's easy for me to say that, but there's still a good chance of a very happy ending. I wish I was nearer to help with the search. Will keep sending you and Fritz good vibes. Best wishes. Louise

Sorry i didnot find him Lucy, it wasnot for lack of trying but there are so many groups of bushes and trees i just couldnot check them all as the sheep were everywhere. It might be worth starting at Waterhall and walking across to the dyke. I know it's all up hill but that might be the only way to find him. I'm not available tomorrow but might be on sunday if you want a hand to try that. Give me a call if you do.

I can post!!! Just back from Woking. Thank you so much Lyn for looking today. The people at the Shepherd and Dog were very helpful when Mike and I went up there on Wednesday night. We just have to keep meeting more people we have not yet spoken to. The fact that posters are not getting a response and the Argus got only one just says to me that people are not seeing him, or they might have seen him and they're keeping quiet, or that he hasn't made it but not been found yet. I am very concerned about the weather (see Dee's post on my behalf), it's so cold. Have any small dogs been found after four weeks out in the sub zero temperatures? If a 'kind' family with children have 'taken him in' will their neighbours or friends grass them up? I shall continue to ensure posters are up where I've put them and hope very soon to be able to replace them with a FRITZ FOUND poster. Can he really survive if he's out there? If a family has him, they might not be the type to take a dog to the vet if they don't bother to vaccinate, insure etc. Sorry, but I'm not in a good mood. Fritz is an absolutely unique dog, small enough for the cat flap, good with children, cats, guinea pigs, adults, obedient (get that dog walker!) and can roll over at request. Actually, that might be a test, Fritz does SIT, LIE DOWN, ROLL OVER. He'd love to play again I think rather than hunt to survive. Max still missing him.

Well i'm back from my long walk, unfortanually there are sheep in the area of Fritz's last sighting which meant i had to keep the pups on the lead, but i did speak to a few useful people. 1 being the National Trust Warden who know of Fritz, he and a big group of helpers have been clearing parts of the area for the last couple of weeks and they havenot seen him at all. I also spoke to a couple of runners who run every day across the Devils Dyke and they hadnot seen anything of Fritz either. The sign the people saw that they thought said the Shepherd and dog actually sayes Sheep are grazing but it is in a strange font and at a quick glance you could mistake it. i found a stone type hut/sheep shelter and had a look in there but couldnot see anything. The area is so big and not being able to let the dogs off the lead makes it so much harder. Sorry it's not great news

Right... Lucy's looked at the OS map - Fritz is staying within 4 miles north and west from where he originally went missing. Please concentrate postering on this area if you are local and can get there. we need as many eyes on the fields as possible.

Thanks today to Lyn for offering to help search on Friday despite the heartache of losing her own dog to old age this week. DogLost's sympathies are with you Lyn and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for still thinking of someone else at such a sad time. Fingers crossed the daylight will bring another sighting of this little lad.

Latest update: "Well, we just got back from Devil's Dyke area. If you know the beginning of "American Werewolf in London" you'll picture the weather. we couldn't see beyond two feet in front of the car and it was impossible to locate the area precisely where he was seen. They said there was a sign for the Shepherd and Dog pub so we went there and found the horse rider we had seen on Saturday! He had put a poster up in the pub as promised and the barstaff took a pile of my smaller posters to leave on the bar. Then they pointed me in the direction of the house of the Brighton and Hove Dog Warden who lives close by. She was very helpful and obviously knew Fritz already. We went to another pub who knew both the Dog Warden and the horse rider and again, they were very helpful in spreading the word. There was no opportunity to scent anywhere but there are even more people on the lookout. The area we believe he was sighted is close to the Devil's Dyke Golf course and between there and Poynings."

Latest update from Lucy.... "Rachel registered me today,having cleared my previous registrations and I still cannot log in from any computer I try. I'd say there's a hex on me finding Fritz. Today, I have been back to Saddlescomb Farm and surrounding areas asking people to check outhouses etc as you would for a cat. The National Trust Lady was very helpful and said I could look around in any outhouses I wanted to but that they were all open all the time anyway. I spoke to a postman who happened to be on site who took a poster back to the sorting office for that area. I don't think Fritz is there. It is my third visit to that site. Everybody is as helpful as they can be, but there is still absolutely no sighting. I had a call from the Mid Sussex Pet Detective to say two more dogs have gone missing from the same area. She's advised me where to post to alert people in the 'right' areas. The Argus Reporter has passed Nik's article, with pictures, to her editor for his say so as to whether it goes in or not. Mid Sussex Times should print this week. Lucy"

Well done Lisa... let us know if you hear any response. Still trying to sort out Lucy's posting problems but in the meantime here is her update: "I posted on the Daily Mail forum three days after Fritz went missing and got lots of sympathy (two people joined Dogslost as helpers) and a text from a medium, respected, well travelled and no charge. she's actually identified the place Mike and I have been looking (no great clues she lives in west sussex) but in greater detail so I'm bunking off work tomorrow afternoon to check out the lead which involves looking for two particular double doors behind which Fritz either is or has been living. I can't do it in the dark, it's pointless, I've been round these country lanes and twittens I'd never find my way out. On the other hand, I've had a call tongiht from a young person who says they saw Fritz local between Preston park and my home (this would be quite a walk, not distance but across busy roads from where he was lost) I've just been out putting posters up all around the road he says he saw him in. I put flyers under windscreens of cars and on all lampposts. It could be a case of mistaken identity. However, it Fritz is to get home, I will follow up each and every lead". Keep it up Lucy, we're all keeping our fingers crossed these leads will get Fritz home to you soon. If anyone else lives in the Preston Park area i'm sure Lucy would appreciate postering help.

Today emailed the newsdesk at Southern FM and also attached the poster.

Also mentioned of the possible article in the Argus. If there is anything else I can do, please let me know.

Lucy: don't worry about the weather... Fritz will be fine, if he's loose then he'll find shelter and will be safe.

I fiddled with the account as well and re registered. I still couldn't log in immediately. This is back as my original username. I have a contact I can't identify on line who is following a line of action for me, note, this is not a lead. I have also made personal contact with the Mid Sussex dog Warden and his colleague. I'm fortunately enough to know a lot of people but still this is not enough. My cats will be brushed (they hate it) and their sleeping places harvested. Nik, I would really appreciate you contacting the Argus; it's like flogging a dead horse. You might want to look at the Argus Local News Forum before you do on www.thisisbrightonandhove.co.uk; I didn't expect to get nearly 1500 hits! However, it has not brought Fritz back.

If you need help in searching for him give me a shout and i'll come out with my rabble, they can normally find something that is hiding. I'd prefer to go with someone who knows Fritz than to go alone. My e-mail is lyn@clanshirts.co.uk

Mid Sussex Times very helpful but Argus weren't - Nik can you help? Lucy is now going to reconcentrate on the area Fritz was last seen in and provide more scent from her vacuum and cats as Fritz and the cats were best of mates.... working on a 10 mile radius to start, farms, stables, rural businesses, anything that anyone can possibly think of need to be contacted: Is anyone in the area who can also help poster, who can help compile addresses for Lucy and who may be able to call or send out a poster? If Fritz is living feral we need to find out where and get another sighting so we can gain his confidence and get Lucy to the area seen with scent and smelly food so he can come home to her. Come on guys, what can you help with? We're with you Lucy, keep up your efforts. Dee x

Fritz's mum - I'm back home now so feel free to call me if you need help. I'll do all I can. From reading your story I'd say it was likely that Fritz is living rough - but he may have been taken in, though if he is loose in fields he's more likely to be staying safe. Dogs living like this fare amazingly well - see the staffie lost and found recently, Rosie, GU23. Try not to worry too much. Call if you need me. 07702 862937.

You are doing all the right things to alert people to the fact that Fritz is missing. Did you contact Miriam at the Evening Argus ? Her contact details are further down. They also publish the Mid-Sussex Leader. Also try the Mid-Sussex Citizen/Mid-Sussex Times on 01444 452201. Dee, the SE Co-rdinator will be back from her holiday very soon and she will be able to advise you with things on the ground. I know just how difficult this is, especially when you are tied to work when you just want to be out looking.

Hello, I'm so sad to see that you still don't have your gorgeous dog back yet. I can really understand that you are worn down by the time it's taking, but try to hang on in there. In can take a long time sometimes - waiting always seems longer than 'normal' time. But dogs are much more hardy than we think they are. Fritz is probably digging into his doggy heritage and doing all sorts of survival things that are instinctive to them. He's probably got shelter somewhere near a food supply. And with so many people looking out for him, he'll be home soon, I'm sure. Thinking of you and looking forward to seeing Fritz's page turn blue. Louise.

I have spent six hours today going everywhere I can think possible that Fritz may have been. It will be two weeks on Monday. We went back to the Stables where we believe he was definitely seen. this is Brendon Stables at Pyecoomb, they showed us again the direction Fritz and their dog ran in; they retrieved their dog but not Fritz, who continued running. We walked along the paths on the Downs spraying scent at likely stopping places; there are bales done up in plastic but I can't see him staying there for long. The people of Saddlescoomb Village were really caring and that is the closest place to the stables; we put a flyer in every house and cottage and the man from the National Trust we met will put one in the National Trust Office. We continued to Poynings where we put a flyer in every house in the Village and the REctory and the church and shops. We have posted at every bridle path and footpath marker. Nobody has seen Fritz since he bolted from the stables. I went back to the traveller site and they were very nice people who said they will continue to look out for him. They camped up four days after he first went missing. I don't know where he is. I don't know where else to look. I am not performing well at work; I work ten hours a day and it is excrutiating not having this time to go look for Fritz. My ex husband has been back to Waterhall three times this week to continue searching where he was lost. We think that the main A roads would be a natural barrier to him going further than that. My partner reminds me that when we go on country walks of say, 8 miles, that is nothing to Fritz and he could have traveled miles. I am so emotionally exhausted because I do not know what to do next for the best. Wherever can he be

possible sighting of Fritz today at a farmhouse at Waterhall where he was lost. The lady says she cannot be sure but has put out some food and my ex husband is going there tomorrow morning to spray our 'scent'. Fritz was chased from the Brendon stables by their dog but if this second sighting is positive, it means Fritz is definitely seeking shelter. I do hope so.

Brendon Stables is at Pyecombe and I went there after work. They were very descriptive and we are convinced it was Fritz they saw. This tells us that he CROSSed the railway line and A23. I gave them lots of posters went to the next farm and couldn't find the farmer (there is no farmhouse) but put a poster under the farmer's windshield. I also gave one to the barman of the Plough Pub at Pyecombe. I am slightly encouraged that he was at least seen but events tell us that this was definitely before Thursday of last week.

I had a telephone call tonight from a woman who works at Brendon Stables at Poynings. She tells of a small, wiry black terrier dog, unattached running across fields, chased by one of the dogs owned by the riders. this is close to the Plough Pub in Poynings. She was very helpful and was alerted by the posters put up by my ex husband and my son. I also had some positive messages from a 'dog communicator'. If anybody wants to help with either of these please contact on lucy.grimme@btopenworld.com If I should hear of Fritz being at a house or something. What do I do? do i just aproach the house and say "That's my dog" or do I do something more subtle. I've regressed five steps tonight even though I've had news.

I am going to ask the free local paper if it is possible to do a leaflet drop with the paper. it has now been a week with absolutely no news at all. Surely if he'd got onto the railway line or the A23 we would know by now. Also he has a microchip, that should ensure that he will be brought home.

I have been to Waterhall this morning. I have posted just about everywhere and notified all local vets. There is no sign of any fatality. It is now likely he has been stolen and the RSPCA said stolen dogs are usually sold on and the best bet is the vets. Farmers have told me that he would probably survive in the open and then come out. Some gypsies camped up yesterday and they are now looking for him and being aware that he may approach them after dark. I am finding this unbearably difficult.
