Oh jean hope you find him soon.Cant think what else you could do,you informed everyone.
Would he go to a favourite place that perhapse he went with your other dog you lost recently?

Oh Jean, so sorry to hear this, I hope Gibb finds his way home very soon, thinking of you all xxxx

Jean, have you registered the details with Dogslost?

Also perhaps give some posters out at schools etc x

this is Gibb, how do I get on doglost is it a website?
we have posters up and it was on moray firth radio.
ive been looking all day no sign at all my OH is worried hes been knocked down on road and hidden and I think hes either wandered off so far hes lost miles of hills and heather here , or hes been stolen. he doesnt have a microchip or a nametag as hes a croft dog.
we are very worried.

What a lovely dog. I really hope he makes it home soon, safe and well. Thinking of you - please let us all know if you hear anything.

well being a working dog, if he has been stolen or gotten a bit lost I am sure he will be smart enough to get home, I just hope he manages by teatime.

**jean** · 14-Nov-06, 18:13

Ive registered him with doglost, hes been gone since 2pm yesterday and hes mad for the quad I was all over the hill on it, but no sign even went all the way to lairg looking in the ditches in case he was lying in one. no sign thank goodness there.
munlochy didnt phone back so I phoned again and actually spoke to a person who doesnt think hes there but will go and check and phone back.
Its the not knowing thats the worst. I think if he was about he would be back. its horrible but I think hes either been hurt, or taken away by someone.

Sending lots of come home vibes to Gib, hope hes back to you soon safe n sound xx

Oh Jean I am so sorry and know how worried you must be! As you said it is the not knowing which is so hard.

I really, really hope that Gibbs turns up safe and well soon. He is a beautiful dog.

**The_man_from_del_monte** · 14-Nov-06, 18:45

Beautiful dog, keeping my fingers crossed he'll turn up safe and sound and soon.

**paris** · 14-Nov-06, 18:56

Just had a thought jean, are there any other dogs near to you? maybe someone has a bitch in season and hes gone of to find her. Male dogs have a tendancy to do that from time to time. jan x

hi jean i really hope you find your dog soon. its horrible when they go off. mine used to but usually only for a couple of hours max. i shall keep a look out on this side of the strath for you. i am in gordonbush. my mum just lives round the corner form you.
rogart being such a small community someone must have seen him. have you phoned other police stations, not just dornoch. one of my dogs got picked up just on the road not far from house, she was having her usual walk to herself and the lady took her to her house down the little ferry before she decided to phone seeing who's dog it was.
