Sleep tight Ches x was registering a dog I found and saw this one's poster, makes it worth picking up any strays (like the one tonight just picked up by her owner) and seeking lost dogs local to us (For Me And Whisper it's an adventure with cause) xxx big hugs to her family xxx

Mollychops
Thankyou Wibble , owners have a friend who will help them tomorrow . In the meantime , Im sending owners a lovely lurcher poem , and so hope they have closure
From Lurchers and long dogs by E.G. Walsh

On your grave beneath the chestnut bough
Today no fragrance falls nor summer air
Only a Masters love who laid you there
Perchance may warm the air 'neath which you drowse
in dreams from which no meal times will rouse
Unwakeable, though close the rat may dare,
Deaf, though the rabbit thump in playful scare,
Silent, though twenty foxes screech their vows
And yet mayhap, some night when shadows pass,
And from the fir the brown owl hoots on high
That should one whistle 'neath a favouring star
Your shade shall canter over the grass
Questing for him you loved in days gone by
Ere death the dog thief , carried you afar

wibble58
i could go now if there is some way I could meet with them. No point in texting as there is no signal down there and I don't want to phone the home number. Can anyone tell me how to meet up please. So very sorry. Run free beautiful girl
Mollychops

Thankyou very much Neighbark. Ive put her on a couple of local community websites,and contacted a few local businesses and Tourist places. Lets hope there is good news tonight.
Neighbark
Hive posted the DOGLOST advert on Ross on Wye car boot f.b group, also Ross on Wye online car boot f.b group, which total 8,000 members.
Neighbark
I've shared on f.b to over a dozen horse groups, pet groups in hetrefordshire/Gloucestershire / Worcestershire and have applied to join to Ross on Wye buy and sell + other groups .
Mollychops
thankyou Doglover . Its such an enormous area, all help greatly appreciated
RJ
We went out that way today from Staunton to Biblins and then the Doward and back but no sign.
Mollychops
Owners have got back from another long day searching . They have asked me to mention a mass search tomorrow . Royal Lodge 6 O CLOCK as mentioned below
Jot cotswolds
On Facebook someone has said meet is at 6pm Royal Lodge car park. Would be worth postering campsite there see if anyone is willing to help search. There are two chaps who have been v helpful on Twitter spreading info on this dog around to thousands of people..Simon J Bedford who is a wildlife photographer and a Twitter account called @kennystaxis who transports kayakers and their kit around the area..he may be a good source of local help this weekLast edited: 2016-07-27 18:45:36 by Jot cotswolds
Mollychops
Ive been contacting tourist places so owners can get stuck in out there in the field .
Mollychops
Thanks Wibble X I don't know any more yet . Phone reception there is non existant so I only speak to owners either early or late
wibble58
I can make the search tomorrow eve but hopefully there will be some good news soon
Mollychops
Owners contacted Hadnock farm yesterday searched outbuildings , On way back to Symonds Yat now to resume he search . They are planning a mass search tomorrow night. I will post when and where soon as I hear
Hollieberry
I keep hoping she has been found ,is it possible her muzzle could have caught on something bushes ect ?
Mollychops
Thanks both Jennys , good ideas!
Unknown
Are there any stables nearby ?if so get in touch with them maybe get a search party going of the woods xxxx
Jenny & Tiga k9tracker
I have posted on the Forest of Dean Canicross fb page as they are always in that area.
Mollychops
owners back out there today and have been postering the perimeter of the woods there, on gateways. THey are trying so hard to find lovely chez. I really feel for them .
Mollychops
Owners stayed out until late last night. very sadly nothing. To confirm where Ches went. Off the path by the footbridge. She ran up into the woods on the same side as the Saracens Head Hotel .
Mollychops
Thanks Doreen , I did ask owner to email me exactly where earlier,I expect she is out there now. I will try her again,Iknow mob signal is bad there, butI will update when I hear
Doreen
Are you able to tell us exactly where she was lost? Been to river side along from Cats Hill towards Symonds Yat. Then to Forestry car park at the Yat rock and to Bracelands camp site, no sign of her, didn't see any posters so maybe we were in the wrong place. Let me know if there's anything we can do to help
Mollychops
The rangers work for the Forestry commission,there fore will be aware. It might be an idea to check in on a regular basis Last edited: 2016-07-25 17:01:47 by Mollychops

We have already notified the Forestry Commision, but not the rangers office. After a quick google search, i can't seem to find their webpage/telephone number. Do you know where we could find the rangers number so we can give them a call?
DogLostOwl
I assume you have notified the Forest of Dean rangers' office? Forestry Commission?
Doreen
Posted on Forest of Dean dogs lost and found facebook site yesterday
LaurenJadex
She should be able to, but it will be more difficult for her than if she didn't have it on. It is quite a large for for her face, meaning she had room to open her mouth/pant etc. in itLast edited: 2016-07-25 08:50:19 by LaurenJadex
Mollychops
There have been no sightings so far of Ches. owners have been back searching many times the area where she vanished, probably after chasing a deer. Ive suggested going back to the spot at dawn and dusk , sitting and watching .hopefully tonight they will be having a barbeque which may lure her out if she is around in that area still. Owners will contact wales,Hereford and Glos dogwardens today and the forestry commission for the area. Luckily Ches is wearing a plastic mesh box muzzle and will be able to drink , although they can come off easily if in bushes etc. Ive asked owner to contact the river Gillies, who have been a huge help in the past on the Wye.Also angling,Canoeing rambling clubs etc who use the area.Lots of Touristy places need advising too, campsites, shops, boat trips. Its very rural, but a lot of people about always. Owners will be leaving some of Ches's bedding at the site and ive emailed advice sheets.Last edited: 2016-07-25 09:04:25 by Mollychops
Hollieberry
Will she be able to drink with the type of muzzle she is wearing ?
Jot cotswolds
Suggest you add "muzzled" alongside her name to get urgent attention...she will need finding fast. Twitter hadhtags worth using are #rossonwye #goodrich and all the main A and B road numbers there.
LaurenJadex
Thank you everyone, after more hours of searching around the place she went missing and asking around, not one person has seen her. It's like she's disappeared off the face of the Earth and it's horrible. We are all absolutely distraught. We will carry in searching tomorrow.
