Hi,
Is anyone missing a jack russel or know of anyone missing one in Halkirk, we had one wonder up to our garage sale today, it has no collar but is very friendly and well trained. Adorable little thing! We have taken it to the thurso police station.
hi beth....why do u not go to the spar shop..and leave a message plus a notice about the wee soul.someone must be frantic with worry if their dog is lost.i know i would be..i wish to god folk would put collars and addresses on the dog.hopefully he might be chipped.look forward to a happy outcome...i personally would not have given him to the police,but held on to him for a few hours...just in case his owner turned up in halkirk,..;)
good on u for caring though...
I am sure the owners will be worried sick and will be glad to get the wee soul back. It probably has skipped out unoticed and gone off for a wander...it's easy done. Keep us posted if you can.
I have contacted the spar shop to let them know, I used to work there so know it's the first place people usually go in Halkirk if a dog/pet goes missing. We kept it for a good few hours until we took it to the police station. It was adorable, looked like our dogs twin but smaller!!
well done ,beth..great minds :lol: think alike...I know u worked in the shop before.u did the right thing...hopefully he will soon be back home!!!;)
hope ur garage sale went well too.
I would have kept it if nobody came forward as I fell in live straight away - absolutely adoreable and so friendly. but husband says no!!
Garage sale went really well thanks, still got loads left, will ebay some, charity shop some and try the big things locally. Can't but try!
just to let you know that Kip is safely back home with his very happy owner! He looked very sorry for himself when he was collected from the police station, didn't think he would be running off again in a hurry, but no sooner back in Halkirk and he was trying to escape again!!! I told my boyfriend he has to put a collar on him, he's much too adoreable to lose!!! Thanks again Beth, we were very grateful for what you did!
Such happy news for you.....I am sure Kip will recover from his adventure....
Delighted! I was worried all night about him!
Really happy to hear this news....but PLEASE escape proof ur property...and put a collar and name tag on Kip.Beth was very concerned as was I.Give him a hug from me...bless him.;)

All I can say is that in over 30 years of dog ownership...had crossbreeds,cocker spaniels and now have 1 basset............NONE have ever escaped from my properties.It really is possible to escape proof to keep ANY dog in,if u really need/want to.Quote:

you are so right buggyracer! if they want out, they get out, especially when they are quite small yet! We have baracaded up the gaps, but I'm not holding my breath! That's also one downside of wearing a collar, when they are into their escapism, they can get caught by the collar, which can be worse in the long run!!
Glad he's safe and sound.
JR's are little houdinis :lol: If they cant get under, they go over or through. We have an 8 foot ranch style fence with rabbit netting on the bottom bit buried into the ground so she cant dig under :roll: [lol]
That is the way to do it!!!!:lol:Quote:

when i put my dogs into the kennels up here, i was told they were the first and only dogs to manage to escape from there kennel they only went as far as the food :lol:.
I will not be ever haing a JR ...lovely wee dogs ,but I am a spaniel /basset lover.A bit worrying that they can escape...once had a friend with a JR puppy.he disappeared one sunday afternoon..............no where could he be found.Knock on door,neighbour says ur puppy is on ur ROOF.He had climbed out of a bedroom window and somehow managed to get on the roof.Quote:
