There is a blue whippet in http://leighdogsandcatshome.co.uk/straydogphotos.html - you will need to scroll through the pics and find the one that has Leigh Area - 526 on the bottom of it. If dog has gone from stray photos, take a look through the dogs for adoption, as thats where they move the unclaimed ones to. Good luck

Hi tillyboo, any news?

2013-04-08 18:45 SaffySP

hi tillyboo, did her previous owners live in the area? I wonder whether she could be trying to find her way back there? Is there a local paper that you could put an advert in, in case someone's found her and taken her in?

2013-04-08 15:57 tillyboo

update . no further sightings

2013-03-30 22:14 tillyboo

the last sighting was 8 days ago been intouch with dog wardens and rescue centers x

2013-03-30 12:45 SaffySP

When and where was the last sighting of her, tillyboo? have you been in contact with the local dog warden & rescue kennels in case she's been picked up? I'm not sure where strays are taken to around here.

2013-03-30 12:42 tillyboo

not heard anything and not been sighted

2013-03-30 07:24 SaffySP

Hi, how's it going? Any more sightings of her?

2013-03-27 15:20 tillyboo

Hi tillyboo. I've just got home from having a good look around the park, but didn't see her I'm afraid. It's a lovely park, I had no idea it was there. At least if she's hanging around that area, there are plenty of places she can shelter and she's away from the main roads. I spoke to a chap who was looking at one of the posters you've put up on Parkside. He walks his dogs on the park regularly ad says he'll phone you straight away if he sees her. The only thing I did notice, as I walked away from my car and across the play area, was I could hear a pack of dogs barking somewhere in the direction of the church. Is there a farm or a kennels down there? If there is, it might be worth having a word with them to keep an eye out, as Jade might be attracted to an area where she can hear other dogs. The other idea is to find out when the bins are put out for collection on Parkside, as she might investigate them looking for an easy food source. I'll go up there and have another look around tomorrow.

3 pm left a food trail from Parkside somercotes to home address de554bq . felt a bit of a idiot walking a pair if tight s with roast pork fat inside got some wierd look s but don't care must get her back

2013-03-26 12:41 SaffySP

Thanks. Try and plot the sightings on a map and keep a list of dates. Dogs usually move in a triangle when they're lost, so you might be able to spot a pattern.

2013-03-26 11:51 tillyboo

thanks saffySP I ad rung Alfreton vets but a poster will be great . sightings of jade ave been around riddings park , Parkside which us somercotes side of the park was spotted near black horse pub lower somercotes and school croft riddings all are accessible on foot from the park so park in riddings community center car park . im going this afternoon and taking some v palatabe food those little square container cesar I think its called can be kept in your pockets and foil lid peeled off quickly . thanks so much if u could look for her x

2013-03-26 09:43 SaffySP

Hi, just to let you know that I've dropped a poster off with Alfreton vets this morning and they're going to put it up in reception. I've also shared Jade's details with the DogLost East Midlands group on Facebook, so everyone on there is aware of her.
I'm at home tomorrow and Thursday so should be able to go and have a look round for her. Where's the best area for me to concentrate on do you think?

2013-03-25 16:33 tillyboo

a really big thankyou to viki at Marehay for taking time out of her day to look for jade with me this morning and viki from Ashbourne for printing leaflets and distributing them with me thanks

2013-03-25 16:12 Paw

If this is a new home is it far from where she had been living? She could be trying to make her way back to old home.

2013-03-25 14:50 B30

Tillyboo, I have just emailed you full scenting information so that things make a bit more sense and you can have a read through it.

2013-03-25 11:06 jestercoolcat

Have posted to The Whippet Forum.
Fingers crossed.

Tillyboo, my comment may have sounded like a stupid joke but I can assure you that it isn't. Doglost volunteers often cook smelly food outdoors to attract a hungry dog who is running loose in one particular area. Tried and tested! And I do understand that you are under great stress so no offence taken. In future if I advise this method I will make myself clearer. With dogs who escape when recently homed, if you can lure them with food and get them eating regularly in one place, it's sometimes possible to get them into a dog trap. We do have one available, but it would have to be watched 24/7. But you may be able to catch Jade without it. The important thing is not to approach he directly, no eye contact, get down on ground or walk slowly at an angle to Jade, and be very quiet. And if you are out searching, take some food she can smell at a distance e.g. a tin of sardines.

jade was also spotted on the Thursday evening ( 21 march) at pye hill / lower somercotes a distant friend said he stopped his van bir she took off . Iknow she wont approach anyone and I ad only ad her for half a hr so im a stranger too

2013-03-25 08:29 rottie

Someone has quite possibly took her in but if not chipped or tagged may have just kept hold of her,you need to poster everywhere possible.i am off today so could try to help.i am ashbourne area so dont know your area but could try to help.need to get her on local radio anywhere people wil see or hear.x

2013-03-24 22:45 tillyboo

sorry all emotions running high

2013-03-24 21:32 rottie

Just a misunderstanding,owl wil definatly be of help to you,i have contacted my freind from swanwick and asked her to put the word out. Best of luck

2013-03-24 21:04 Jackie

Tillyboo, that's correct what SaffySP says, it's not uncommon when a dog has been sighted in an area. Hope she's home very soon.

2013-03-24 21:00 SaffySP

Tillyboo, the bbq suggestion is to get the smell of meat wafting around. If Jade's hungry she might be attracted to the smell.

2013-03-24 20:55 tillyboo

rotti - she suggested I ave a bbq for the dog what is that all about

2013-03-24 20:41 rottie

Hi, I live a few miles away in Alfreton. Can someone please post where exactly in Riddings Jade went missing from? I'll drop off a poster with Alfreton vets, in case she's handed in there.

• Owners targeted by a malicious hoaxer demanding money for the return of their dog should phone the police on 101 immediately and contact admin@doglost.co.uk
• A photograph of your dog is essential for the website. If you have not already uploaded one, please do so by clicking on Update details. Alternatively you can email it to admin@doglost.co.uk quoting the dog's DogLost ID number: (50268)
