Now that's a proper stick!!

She is so beautiful, and growing fast too. Hope you are all fully recovered from your ordeal and having a wonderful life together.

All the best,

Kim

just thought we would share with you a more recent picture of Gracey - she is really turning into a stunning girl xx

2010-08-16 18:09 marina

At the 11th of August the Evening News published a Gracey's story :-) It's a simple commercial appeal to make advertising in Evening News on the front page :-((( Marilyn is not named at all. And mistakes. If you found a dog, the dog is not actually rescued, is it? And "reward was given to DogLost". I saw it only today on-line. http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/content/eveningnews24/norwich-news/story.aspx?brand=ENOnline&category=News&tBrand=ENOnline&tCategory=xNews&itemid=NOED11%20Aug%202010%2009%3A18%3A25%3A700

Yesterday I spoke to our vets, Chapelfield on the Norwich Road. Forgotten the position, something like head reception manager. Told them how I feel about my poster hidden somewhere and that I am leaving surgery as a client because they let me down in energency and because I want other poor dogs be not so neglected. They were very sorry and said they could only apologise and investigate the case, and discuss how to prevent it in the future, that usually they display such posters and definitely will be more attentive now. I'll send the complaining letter to their director and to the Head Office of Chapelfield vets company. What is odd, my friend saw Gracey's poster in Chapelfield vet surgery...They have 5 in our area. So, only exactly our one ignored us. Does somebody knows a doog surgery to jon it? We are leaving this one.

Thank you so much for your monthly donation, it is very kind of you x. As Angus said this will help us continue to reunite missing dogs. Take care and give Gracey a big cuddle from me xxx

2010-08-09 07:50 reedjoanne65

I was so please to read your successful story about being reunited with your dog. It has given me some hope, as my Yorkshire Terrier sneaked out of our house on 19/05/2010 and hasen't been home since! There were some sightings a few times within the first few weeks in nearby villages, but alas haven't heard anymore. Have put up many posters, contacted local newspapers, radio, doglost on internet, driven miles around, am absolutely heartbroken but I WILL NOT GIVE UP! I know that he is out there somewhere and I pray every day that I will be reunited with him.

2010-08-08 20:20 DogLostAngus

Marina and her Husband have set up a regular monthly donation to doglost as a thankyou for the assistance and support whilst Gracey was missing - a big thankyou to them - this ongoing help enables us to continue to help other owners who have lost their dogs - Marina is also keeping a journal of Gracey's progress with lots of pictures of her on the facebook page - pop and have a look......http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?cropsuccess&id=824382286#!/group.php?gid=145434328802217

2010-08-04 20:39 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Marina it was so lovely to meet up with you in happier circumstances! Gracey is just wonderful x. It was good to meet with the others who made up "Team Gracey" including George the "tracker dog" ( think he went home full!!) Take care now and look after Gracey xxx

2010-08-04 19:24 marina

It was just a bliss. I wish we had more spasious house and garden to invite more people, all your and Helen's dogs!! But you know who is the most tired person of the party and who is still deeply in sleep?

2010-08-04 19:15 muns

Some of the key people in team Gracey had a really delightful celebration lunch of Russian food cooked by Marina today. It was a truly wonderful afternoon and so lovely to see Gracey back where she belongs and relaxed and in good health. Thanks you so much Marina for such a lovely reunion lunch. Good food, good company and lovely dogs!

2010-08-03 23:27 marina

We were by vets today - worming, blood test, microchip check. Gracey weights 12,6 kg now!! I must speak to the boss of the surgery. We are their clients, I hoped at least they will put our fax on the view. They were absolutely unhelpful, useless, keeping the begging fax somewere in the end of a book. Patients in the w...aiting room recognized us because of the newspaper - but not reception etc!!! Even if somebody with stolen Gracey would arrive - they never would notice! They just waisted the poster which a lot of people could see! And then we get surprised why the dogs never appear again... I am furious.

2010-08-03 23:27 marina

Now I write a little everyday about Gracey on FaceBook, I think it's time to leave this page of DogLost? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=13644&id=100001410840724#!/group.php?gid=145434328802217&ref=ts I put some pictures on FaceBook what I canot do here. If you like please welcome!

2010-08-03 20:44 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Oh Marina that did make me giggle this morning when I read it! x

2010-08-02 23:00 marina

...Husband sais he almost was killed today. By two old ladies while he started to tear off Gracey's poster by the Rail station. :-) - Ladies, ladies, it's my poster, my dog - and it is found!! ...God, they were happy!:-)

2010-08-02 00:12 marina

Read a little other stories. Heartbreaking. DOG OWNER REALLY MUST USE TRACKING DEVICES!!!!

2010-08-02 00:00 marina

And I would like to help you little with the information from american site about postering - that's SO GOOD!

2010-08-01 23:59 marina

Yes, it was a different settled gypsies site and there was nothing negative. I wanted to tell the small cozy story.

2010-08-01 23:02 marina

Yes, Sandy, I will use two lines, until the tracking device comes. Husband ordered one and bought 10 lb of chicken :-) No< Gracey doesn't pulles on the lid. That is why it was especially unfair and painful: she is devoted, no one step away, walkes perfectly and every 2-3 seconds checks, looking into my eyes: am I doing right? If I only would not use this bloody automatic lid!

2010-08-01 22:08 DogLostAngus

Thank you for your continued story - maybe to protect Garcey's saviour it would be best not to publish his picture here or on facebook - the people who had her may well have internet access and we know that our pages are 'well read' but all types of people & due to that I will look at the 'pink post'again and see if we can put it back or leave the content out _ I can send you a copy of it's wording by email though.

2010-08-01 20:27 marina

Dear Sandy, I will keep Gracey's biography with pleasure, I did it before in Russian, but now I have a FB page. Only one smal, he-he, problem - I don't understand anithing in this FB!

2010-08-01 20:21 marina

Dear admins, may I fill in this one PINK censured :-) post now? It was about my visiting gypsies site.

2010-08-01 20:17 marina

My goodness, how many mistakes have I done especially in the recent posts!! Hope you were able to understand the meaning...I didn't have a time to check it. And on FB I can not find how to edit my lines! I am ashamed totally. Somebody who is not busy too much, could please tell me how to edit FB and what is wrong with my posting pictures? I thought I am pretty used to internet, forums etc., but... Dear Sandy, I will see you a photos of our hero. He said he fell in love with DogLost and will read it now. When he said good by he smiled: "I delievered 2 dogs to their homes, now I am going to keep my eyes open for the next ones" :-)))) So, sure he will read it. He said he doesn't mind me to put his photo in internet into the Gracey's story, because these people who took her and are dangerous are negligent and have no idea about Internet. But I am still reluctant.

2010-08-01 16:08 DogLostAngus

Marina, it is lovely to read your posts of how Gracey is exploring and getting used to being at home again, I think it is wise to have the 2 leads on her for a while - until she is trained not to pull (but don't all puppies like to pull? as everything is exciting and new for them). I bet that she is like a celebrity when you are out walking her with everyone stopping to say hello. I didn't post before a THANKYOU of eternal gratitude to the very kind gentleman who made this all possible, you are a star, one in a million & I hope that you do read this on Gracey's thread. Looking forward to getting more updates on Gracey's progress as she grows up. Sandie xx

2010-08-01 13:46 marina

She changed and haven't changed. We get delievered by her flowers and leaves into the house from the garden again, and especially bay leaves, favourite ones. She still prefer to sleep in her huge suitcase which I haven't managed to empty and put into the garage. Now it is her sofa-divan. She still highly appreciates the under stairs small utility room, meaning it as a Chamber of Treasures because it containts all our shues. But she eats everything now and has a strong naughty interest for paper baskets and rubbish bins. :-( First day she closed her eyes in fear if I made a sharp jesture, lifted the hand. So, they used to hit her. But I have a feeling that she was not so long with them, maybe really 1 week: she is not exhausted and travmatised, and her crawls are very worn off, like she ran a lot over tarmac and stones. She would not have it sitting in the garden or living in wilderness. I'll put some pictures on FB and will back later. LOVE YOU

2010-08-01 13:36 marina

Muns, I looked at your link, but it's a site for parents. I looked for dog's home site for donation. Will try another way. Would like to be involved into this life aroung dogs difficult life. May I visit your favourite rescue with you? We have a chance to go to the see now. I thoght I will get fobia for walking forever, but Gracey definitely doesn't have it. She was so happy to see a new red harness, bigger then hers previous, and sniff her nearest area. She always wears a collar with a tag now, even sleeps with that. Marilyn advised me to have two lines and harness - one line to collar, one line to harness. I think I should put a harness on myself to. And maybe a collar, and lock us savely together.:-) So we went to visit 7 families of our neighbours who was upset and schocked. It was so hartenning to see pople's exitment - even of dogs owners which we use to meet walking before, with Gracey or our previous dog Kitty. Unknown people with dogs were in trouble with a setter paniking and barking behind of the river and I went over the river to "rescue" the dog and to show the narrow place or the way round, because I know all the corners there now :-) The dog was saved :-), and then common dogs bathing, and swimming, and playing started. Even Gracey on her lead with the husband on the end was jumping in cold water and barking and pissing into it. It was a show to see. She was afraid of water before, but now she even jumpes into the bath! Taugh girl now, former traveller :-))))

2010-08-01 09:14 muns

Marina Thank you for your lovely comments, but we must never forget that you and your husband did everything that Helen, and DL or I advised, and more. You worked so hard and logically to get Gracey home and it is all that postering and publicity that got her well known so that 'our knight in shining armour' knew Gracey when he saw her. Wrt the reward I know DL always need donations to help find more dogs and I would dearly love anything you thought to give to me to go to the rescue kennel I support. That is Poplar Farm Kennels and they look after many ofthe dogs that don't get home and they never put a healthy dog to sleep....a no put to sleep rescue. They also help whereever they can to give advise or if close enough go out and catch or search for lost dogs. http://z10.invisionfree.com/PFK/index.php?act=idx

2010-08-01 00:51 marina

And of course I will clean posters. Part of them is already destroyed by queer people. But 1) I wanted to replays them by the messages "found and reunared", because at lot of people were so kind to me when I clued it, and so upset. 2) I put hundreds of them everywhere, and now I am not free any more. Gracey can not walk so much, is not brave to walk enough, and I can not leave her for such a long time. Husband works not in Norwich, in Yorkshire. But slowly hope we will delete them.

2010-08-01 00:43 marina

Dearest Marylin, I LOVE YOU. I will never forget what you have done. Helen, Sandy, all from the DogLost, who supported me - I am so grateful!! Without you I would be as lost as Gracey. You have taught me to hope. I didn't. I was moved by desparation and grief only. And I would stop feeling it all useless, hopeless. I wou... I wou...ldn't know what to do. Hope and not to give up - it's about you, Marylin, your energy, your empathy. To call me every day a couple of times, writing, arranging people, posting on-line - and oh, dear, all that time having your own animals missing... Dear Lord... How we can help you with your cats? Where should I put it? Do we need posters in my area? And how to behaive with cats - they usually do not come to people?

2010-08-01 00:40 marina

He told us this people treated Gracey badly. They gave her only bread, she was deprived of moving, always sitting on the lead, and people saw her to be thrown away and crying. We met the best part of the family, Marilyn. I am in a such a mixed state now, trance, and happinness, and pain again. I think they must be punished. What can we do for that? Our friend sayd - do hothing, they are really bad, sooner or earlier they will go into the prison for one thing or other. From all the people he said your puppy got itself to the worst. And puppy was rescued by two the best - him and Marylin.

2010-08-01 00:35 marina

AND WE DID HAVE A WONDERFUL VISIT TODAY. THE BEST MAN WHO RISKED HIS JOB AND SAFETY FOR US CAME TO VISIT US. I WOULD LIKE SO MUCH TO PUT HERE HIS PICTURE, HE LOOKES LIKE A HOLLYWOOD STAR, BUT I DON'T WANT TO PUT HIM AT RISK. HE IS A REAL DOG LOVER. MY SOULMATE WHO EVEN DISLIKE TO FEED HIS DOGS BY READY DOG FOOD :-)) TO... SPEAK TO HIM WAS A DELIGHT. BUT HE REFUSED TO TAKE A REWARD. HE WANTS IT TO BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO HELP DOGS, LIKE mARYLIN AND ALL THIS DOGLOST STUNNING PEOPLE, VOLUNTEERS, PASSIONATE AND GENEROUS. SO GRACEY'S REWARD IS FOR DOGLOST AND MARYLIN FARRINGTON, FIGHTER AND MY 24-HOURS SUPPORTER, CAN DECIDE HOW TO USE IT.

Dearest, dearest people, I will never forget what have you done. You are stunning. I must to come here before and say that sooner, bat all this time Gracey was asking for food and play with her, I was like intoxicated, in trance and efforts to feed with proper cooked food and to calm he. She is on my side every moment, we even couldn't sleep, all night checking each other. Husband was speechless, he took it all harder, refused medicine, couldn't sleep at all, thinking of the worst scenarios day and night, didn't eat. I will write tomorrow some more details about out thriller, tonight I spent the whole evening with FB becayse I thout to put there pictures for all of you, but it doesn't go good. They or go double or don't go at all. Dear Muns put a video there http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=145434328802217 I will try to put more pictures tomorrow.

Marina, I am so thrilled that you have Gracey home where she belongs. You never give up your tireless search for her. Thank you to each and everyone who has helped search/spread the word over this little girl x. Thank you muns for going that extra mile and being with Marina when she needed someone. Welcome home Gracey, sweetheart you stay safe from now on xxx

2010-07-31 08:23 muns

We discussed getting the posters down Angus I think Marina and Gracey are going to enjoy their walks to get them down. If there are any in your vicinity please do remove and bin for us. I spent most of last night contacting everyone I could think of where I logged Gracey as missing and reading great comments of here and her F?B page etc So great to have you home Gracey. Hope to hear from Marina today now she has had some well deserved chill time with Gracey Hope you all slept soundly last night Marina!

The big clean up must also commence now - if you have postered or see any posters up for Gracey can you please remove them, this keeps the land owners happy and ensures that the next time a dog is lost the posters are taken serously. Thankyou

2010-07-30 20:09 AlisonH

I am just home. Marina had a tip off this morning re an address at which Gracey had been seen. She had no transport and the people offered to run her but she was understandably nervous of this and rang me. I said I would go with her. Having been told that the occupants of the address were former travellers we tried to get a dog warden and scanner or police to go with us. Dog warden was off today and police said they'd make a appt to come and see us sometime..... So I told them we would go it alone and Marina and I drove there and were SO lucky to see Gracey tied up outside in the front garden. I drove back so Marina could be sure and then we dialed 999. We parked up a little distance away so as not to alert anyone and after a second 999 call the police came. A young police lady. The police lady said she wondered if anything might 'kick off'. Anyway we went to the house and Gracey was no longer in the garden and despite banging both doors and shouting 'Police' there was no answer. Our hearts sank. The police lady asked if the road led anywhere so I walked down and met a neighbour who told me the retriever pup had arrived about a week ago. I asked if she would tell the police this. When we walked back Marina had Gracey and the police lady was talking to a young woman who was saying she had found Gracey convered in mud. Iasked where she found her and she said she couldn't remember. The policewoman had asked if we were just happy to have our dog back or if we wanted to go further. Marina and I said we just wanted the dog and the policewoman explained to the girl that she should have reported the dog. Gracey was very smelly, but SO happy to see Marina. Marina gave her a drink and food in the car and Gracey ate dog food whereas before she would only eat chicken I am reliably told. When she got home she grabbed Marina's shoe and her toys and she was so so happy. THANK to the posters and advertising and that one person....it could have been SO very different. Marina and her husband are SO relieved and grateful to everyone who has helped in whatever way. Piccys of reunion to follow!!!!

2010-07-30 15:44 AlisonH

A big THANK YOU to everyone involved today especially the lovely person who called with the sighting, I have called back with the good news and is over the moon that was able to help get Gracey back home. Must also say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Muns who drove Marina over to the location and helped retreive little Gracey. Well done everybody.

Helen will post herself when she returns

No further information to give out at the moment - PLEASE DO NOT CALL OWNERS as they are on the case - will post news as soon as we have any

2010-07-30 11:03 AlisonH

Possible sighting of Gracey being followed up.

2010-07-29 22:01 marina

No, that's wrong. I know the places in River park looking like young woodland, but mostly bushes, near the canal. Both sides of the bridge and along the Dodderman way. You remember, even George-labrador refused to step into.

2010-07-29 21:36 marina

I am still thinking about her hypotetic hiding from people, such a perfect hding. I saw a lot of stray dogs in Russia. They are not afraid of people at all. They came and ask for food. Yes, they are not tame, but they don't hide.

2010-07-29 21:34 marina

Earlham park - yes, if she did reach there over the road and through the gup in bushes. This is a wilderness, paradise for animals and it is large. I emailed Fishing club whether they make barbeque (if yes, Gracey would go out long before).

2010-07-29 21:31 marina

I am afraid in river park there is no such place where Cracey could hide. No woodlands here. Bushes - yes. There is a place left after the bridge, behind of the river-canal, two fields of different owners-farmers, with sheep. On of them knows about a pup. Another one lives far away but visit sheep everyday. I think sheep would be disturbed by dog and he will notice it. It's private and difficult to come in and I home there are no males, because they kill the biggest amound of people in GB than any other domestic animals :-((((

Oh great news...Thank you so much, muns. I went today by bycycle to explore which places Catherine could mean, woodlands by canal. Boys told me it might be Earlham park behind of the river-canal, where nobody indeed comes but there is a lot of rabbits. People walk by the other side of canal always. I thought it is isolated by boys say you can go into through the gap in bushed from the Old Watton Road. I started from West Earlham, from where I think people could pick Gracey up, put properly a lot of posters (usual and warnings about illegality to keep), gave a lot of flyers, spoke to many people. One driver of some service car saw yestarday one white dog like this but is not sure which one. Said, looks like mine, alone, without collar and lead, but he has no idea about breeds. I went to this place on the hill, there are pieces of woodlands, neglected and littered, and huge for one person is the dog wants to hide...Came home exhausted by thinking - where should I make barbeque? I think barbeque will be lovely for hunters on week-end too. On the way back girls said: oh, a white dog just ran awai! Fluffy? They looked posters and sayd no, it was different one. But maybe they spoke about the same one...

2010-07-29 12:56 muns

I have just spoken to a lovely lady, Mrs Ellis, sec of Norwich gundog club and she is very happy to come with her dog and hopefully some others either at the WE or early next week. She is meeting up with others tonight and will ask for more volunteers and then she will get back to me. They will try and search Riverpark with the dogs. :-)

2010-07-29 09:21 marina

I am waiting an answer from EDP about my text and will send it further. Going to put more posters locally with the addition about illegality to keep a found dog without reporting and checking. Going to office department of Jarrolds for giant orange fluorescent sheets for road posters which drivers could read on the speed. I need to make or to find stands - a squere pice of flat wood or plastic and a stick (A-framed campaign signs) for them to stick into the ground by the roeds. Does somebody knows where to find them?

2010-07-29 09:07 marina

Thank you, dear. In two years Gracey will completely forget me and suffer her separation with her current family. We always wanted to have two-three dogs and we think to take second one now lest not to get mad and search Gracey. I don't want to waist a summer for baby-dog.

2010-07-29 08:38 DogLostNina

Hello Marina, I totally understand your fear of using a megaphone to relay that Gracey is missing. Is there nobody that is brave enough to stand in a busy place and do this for you. You could assist by giving out missing leaflets. I firmly beleive that the media should and would pick this story up if they knew how desperate you were to get Gracey back and what steps you were taking. Dont be afraid to ask friends and family if they would do it for you. You can now hire or buy megaphones quite cheeply...good luck.

2010-07-29 08:03 muns

Another DL coordinator just asked me to point out to you, Marina, a little dog called Pixie on the reuniteds. She went missing 2 years ago and has just been reunited via her chip. So we must never give up....hoping we find Gracey must sooner than that mind. But congtaulations to Pixie and her family x

I took a taxi for 5 o'clock to the Dereham Road. Taxi company has no idea where the Colney Hill is, too...

2010-07-28 16:01 marina

About travellers, dear muns. I called the Norwich city council. They don't have any liason officers, and was very disturbed by the idea of involving a coincil somehow. I explained that I only need advice and information. Then you need to go to police - was the answer.The police officer was disturbed too and said if I have no evidence of theft, it will be an offence for travellers if police will be somehow involved, even in helping to communicate with them. Because it will be action based on the insulting stereotips. But he once lost his dog too and he said only help he is able to offer is to advice the place on the junction of Derehem Road and A4 - there usually travellers stay, but they move quickly. I checked the map - I shoul have misunderstood him because we don't have A4 here, or he said it wrong. Must be A47. Near this place are Saisbury's where we put posters and fishing club, entrance postered too. He said the common cheapest supermarkets would be the best choice. I dont need to put posters around the camp because the travellers buy food and make shopping exactly as everybody else, and go into the city. I still think about this junction and Colney Hill. Pitifully have no car again till Friday but will find something. Taxi.

Sorry, Nina, I got completely scared by idea about megafone and even TV. Always was paralised by public attention and now feel so low. Would not able to speak.

2010-07-28 15:44 marina

Fihished a text about Gracey and illegality to keep a found dog without reporting it, and after muns checked details and my pigeon English, I sent it to EDP and EN to the person who promised me to help. Muns thinks we could send it to top issues too.

2010-07-28 14:20 marina

"Hi Mariana, We will put anyone who contacts us regarding your missing dog in touch with you. Beyond mentioning this on the radio there really is not much more we can do. I’m sorry we cannot be more help and wish you the best of luck in your search. Best wishes Clare Worden Broadcast Journalist Norwich 99.9 "

2010-07-28 14:18 marina

Young goldy was found in London, I called there, but his owners already were found.

2010-07-28 11:54 marina

So, from the plan: I was advised to contact companies which have contract with counsil for landscaping; making wildlife studyies; boyscauts and brownies; go-gays; mountain bycycles club. Now I will contact liason officer about travellers and put posters around them. And go again to this wilderness. Need to by barbeques.

2010-07-28 11:40 marina

Thank you all SO MUCH. O, yes, our river Yare looks not more than canal. It goes from fishing club through fields and Earlham park. I made a list what to do and do not know which action to start.

2010-07-28 11:21 muns

I am trying to get in touch with the local shoot and see if they might take their gun dogs across the area by way of a more organised search. They can only say 'No'! The advise I am getting is our best bet is to 'comb' the area with a line of dogs and people 20 yds apart. Gun dogs would be used to going into woods etc I also have to say that most dog people I have spoken with are sceptical of a pup, this young, hiding away and scaveging for so long without approaching a person......but I am happy to be proved wrong when we find Gracey where Gracey is.

2010-07-28 09:25 Auntie Katie

I hope there is some news on little Gracey soon, although both Helen and I are away at the moment I am keeping up with things on here and relaying them to Helen, we both have our fingers crossed (from a distance away) that she will be home with you soon. x

2010-07-28 02:18 Debra

In addition to what Angus said, Catherine said she is eating baby rabbits. They aren't very fast and they are not as agile as adult rabbits. And when we lived in New Mexico my Sarafina caught jack rabbits and ate them and they are extremely fast. It's not true that only greyhounds can catch rabbits. Sorry. If your husband doesn't want to take into account the things Catherine says I can understand that, but try to take into consideration some of the physical things she mentioned. First, she mentioned woodlands. So there would be trees and with all the warm weather and rain off and on the undergrowth is high and thick. But Gracey is a puppy and they can crawl through things that we would never guess they could and they can get places we certainly cannot. Next Catherine specifically mentioned a canal. Actually she mentioned water and then said there was a canal not far. She said it was not like a river or lake with sloping banks. She said specifically a canal. You mention a place by the canal. So is there a canal near where you live? And of course she mentions that she is alone. She is not with people. People are nearby the canal but not in the area where she is. So can you look near the canal you are talking about where there aren't a lot of people? Catherine did not mention animals to me so I can't comment on that possibility. Good luck and try to get some rest. Just know our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. xx

2010-07-27 22:37 muns

Sorry Miranda Phew was relief at the men not finding Gracey in the river and wrt means with respect to.

All animals even a young puppy can catch its prey and eat it Marina, although to us they are defensless pets they are decendant of wild animals and have the natural instinct within them, think back to play time when they scragg and shake a toy - that is the action that breaks the neck of its prey killing it immediatly and there are many rabbits with myximatosis at the moment which makes them slower to react - even a human bein g can catch a rabbit with myximatosis, they will of course go for the easier option of fruit or road kill but if needs must they can and will catch prey.

2010-07-27 21:34 marina

But wecan make barbeque of course.

2010-07-27 21:33 marina

My husband doesn't belive this story. Biology is number 1 of his hobby for all his life. He said, such a puppy is not able to caught a rabbit. Most of the adult dogs are to slow for that. Only greyhound can make it. And puppy first must learn it from mother. Rabbits protect semself with hinten legs savagely too. He means it's impossible that Gracey still stays hidden in wilderness and provide herself.

2010-07-27 21:19 marina

What does it mean: Phew. wrt Catherine...?

2010-07-27 17:51 muns

I am really pleased and relieved to be able to report that the environment agency checked the river today and did NOT find Gracey Phew. wrt Catherine's piece It is really difficult because having visited the place myself there is acres of land there. No canals. Sone shallow lakes that are vry clear and easily and safely approachable by an animal but some of the wooded areas that we did go into are too dense for us to get right through. If we are thinking Gracey is still out there then maybe a few barbeques with smelly food...but please be vERY careful as it is so dry. The other option is, of course that someone has her....or had her and sold her on maybe not even in Norfolk.....

Jane Summers was very nice, but she is not able to communicate now and especially she can not promise to narrow place for search, she said, particularly because animals change it so quickly.

2010-07-27 15:20 marina

From North Norfolk Radio: Dear Marina, I’m so sorry you haven’t yet been able to find Gracey. It is difficult for us to do too much at this end because Colney is not strictly in our area. That is mainly covered by our sister station Norwich 99.9. I do wish you every luck in your search and if we do hear of anything that I think might be of help to you, I will certainly let you know Good luck and many best wishes Dick Hutchinson Breakfast Show Presenter/Community Champion North Norfolk Radio - 96.2 & 103.2 FM

I have spoken with Marina this afternoon and suggested that she may try to contact any of the following groups - Brownies/ Scouts & Guides who may be doing wild life projects during the holidays. Also any local mountain bike clubs as they are out in wild land at all hours. My other thoughts after reading Debras post from Catherine information would be to revist any canal boats and ask them to display a poster when they are moored up - boat people are often dog owners and will be sympathetic to Gracey , Lastly is on Marina's behalf can someone can contact local authority landscape contractors who maintain the hedges and verges as they again are out all day

2010-07-27 14:15 marina

You see, green place around is enourmous. Fields with horses, cows, sheep, even pigs. If only one hint more: what vegetation? trees? Bushes? Grass? High grass? Buildings? animals? Because it's hundreds of acres of land, and if she is hiding...

Thanks a lot, dearest, thanks. At least no to hear she is starving and ill. I got an idea about a place by the canal - it's our smal river Yare - but our place of it is very popular and place behind is difficult to reach, for Gracey too. Catherine told me Gracey is by our site of river (indeed more similar with canal). I'll try to go to other part behind of it, there are a lot of sheep, didn't Catherine mention animals? I am not sure is it private or not, but I will see.

2010-07-27 13:03 Debra

It is my pleasure to be able to help any tiny bit I can. I spoke with Catherine about 20 minutes ago (it's now 12:54 mid-day). Here is what she said. Gracey is not far away. She had been close to houses but now is more in woodlands. Gracey says it's nice but not like home. There are no people around here and she is wondering when someone is going to come and get her. She is not ferrel. She has been eating baby rabbits but can't catch birds, which she has tried to do. She seems to be ok but is miserable because she hasn't been found yet. Catherine saw water in the form of a canal but Gracey is wary of it so she stays away from it. There are people near the canal but they are not wandering away from the canal area so they don't see Gracey. But Gracey is keeping away from the water, which is good. Gracey is ok but she wants to come home. She does not have the experience an older dog has to follow her own scent back home. This is all she gave me today. I hope this helps some. I hope this puts your mind a bit at ease Marina. Good luck and I hope she is home real soon with you.Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and Gracey. If there is anything else I can do please just let me know. I'll be checking Gracey's site daily. xx

2010-07-27 11:47 marina

Thank you, muns. How long was your marafon, did you found your dog? Please, tell the story. We really need a part of site with happy stories.

2010-07-27 11:43 marina

I put some posters by the Rail Station in Norwich, by Main Post Office and by the Job Centre, postered some streets. Need to see my husband off and then I can call to another animal communicator Jane Summers, she was very precise for a lovely lady who called me.

Thank you Debra I spoke with Marina more than once yesterday and also we e mail each other. I think Marina to write things down on a pad is a good idea. We are doing more and more each day to get Gracey known and we are making progress in that direction. I remember being told when my dog was stolen that we have to pace ourselves for a marathon rather than a sprint and I think this is really important. Very difficult. Maybe try to programme some relaxation exercises or activities for at least a short while each day Marina. At least a short time when you do something entirely different. x

2010-07-27 07:45 marina

I wrote a text like letter or article about illegality to keep a found dog, and when dear muns will have edited my English, i am going to send it to medias. Will put a quotation near my posters. Hope to impress people who are keeping her. Asked Dick Hutchinson to repeat his message on North Norfolk radio.

2010-07-27 07:30 marina

Dear Goldenfrodo, could you please give me these lists of goldies, just to have it.

2010-07-27 07:29 DogLostAngus

Debra, thank you for your kindness and your offer to call Catherine on behalf of Marina

2010-07-27 07:28 marina

Good morning, dear friends, and thank you so much for all your generousity. I never could expect such a support from unknown people in a grief. Yes, my mind is confused and shaken. I still regularly, a couple of time a day, have this strange feeling that I only now realize what has happenend, and it is a new shock every time, as a fresh burn. Yes, I am trying to coordinate myself and I will.

2010-07-27 02:51 Debra

Marina, I'll call Catherine Walker for you later this morning. I worked late and am up but will call her when I get up. I am very concerned for you Marina. Please don't take this the wrong way, but when I read your postings I hear panic and your thoughts flicker quickly from one thing to the next. I completely understand what is happening and how you feel. The same thing happened with me. Keep a pad of paper and pen with you at all times. As you think of something or get a suggestion from someone, write it down. Also, write down the date and time and name of the person making the suggestion. Please realize I am not criticizing you. I am trying to help you get a bit more focused. The more focused you are the more help you will be to Gracey. Having the postings and suggestions from everyone here on doglost can also help focus you. It helped me tremendously because having come over from America I had absolutely no idea where to start. Jan was wonderful in helping me. Hello Janey, Annabel, drove me to different places and helped by postering, along with just being there for me to bounce ideas off of and again, helping to keep me focused. But by keeping your ideas of what to do and where along with names and telephone numbers it will help keep you on track and you will feel more productive. And cry when you need to. It's such a great release. We are all thinking of you and praying that your little girl is home with you very soon. Sleep sweet tonight Marina and know we are all sending you lots and lots of love and positive thoughts and keeping our fingers and paws crossed she is home very soon. Once I talk with Catherine I'll post to let you know what she says. xx

2010-07-26 23:50 Goldenfrodo

When Gracey first went missing I posted her photo and details on several Golden Retriever lists I'm on and other show dog lists so a lot of the show people and breeders are aware that she's missing. Thinking of you Marina. Take care xx

2010-07-26 21:12 marina

Have found: Golden Retriever Rescue http://www.goldenretrievers.co.uk/application/rescue/index.php?iClubId=2 Maybe somebody will need it. Tomorrow will call: Eastern Counties Golden Retriever Club Covers Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk. Iris & Marc Wheeldon Tel:- 0794 8800190

2010-07-26 20:48 marina

Thank you, so what do I do? Look for rescue Goldie centres? And about shows you will tell me? The site I asked about http://www.lostandfound.com/search.html - is American.

2010-07-26 20:28 muns

Hi Marina Be a little cautious about ads that say dog found with no details...there are unscrupulous people out there who may be after rewards when they have no dog at all. Just be very cautious and never arrange to meet anyone alone. There are several Golden Retriever rescue sites...is Gracey on those? They are easily 'googled' I will put her on Eastern Dog Scene which is a group for all the people in the east that who show dogs. x

2010-07-26 16:16 marina

On the site Gumtree there is a section with found dogs. Might be useful for everybody who lost. But people advert so stragely: just "found a dog, call" - and a tel. doen't work. But there is a possibility to email: http://www.gumtree.com/cgi-bin/list_postings.pl?search_terms=dog&search_location=United+Kingdom&ubercat=18

2010-07-26 16:04 marina

I thought, maybe somewhere a Golden Retriever Show is planned and an innocent or negligent new owner of Gracey might come to look at...

I contacted Highway Agency too, as K9 recommends. They were very kind too and said they control A4 far away from us, but in case if the dog went there, they checked and found nothing. They said they too bring dead or injured animals to RSPSA and I would know long ago about my microchipped dog. Honestly to say, I don't think that such an inexperienced puppy is able to avoid at least a care for so long. I think only being taken by people Gracey could avoid an accident.

2010-07-26 11:51 marina

hello, dears. I registered Gracey on the site K9 for Midland and by their advice called to British Waterways to check a case of accident on water. The main office gave me a tel. number of our local independent Enviroment Agency 08708 506506, wich might be useful for Dog Lost information list. They kindly told me nobody found something similar and when they find a dead animal looking like somebody's pet, they definitely deliver it to RSPSA. Agency do not scan it, but RSPSA does.

Thanks Debra and I so hope you get some good news on your Sarafina very soon. I know Marina is really grateful for any supportive comments and/or ideas. She will certainly implement any new suggestions. She, no doubt as you have, has been working fulltime to advertise Gracey and try to get her back. Nobody could have done more and I know she has been feeling quite unwell this last few days owing to the stressful situation. So anyone out there who knows anything PLEASE help to get Gracey home to her owners. There is a large reward if that helps, but either way please do the right thing. Keeping Gracey is theft and is wrong.

2010-07-26 08:40 marina

Marina, I have been following your story about Gracey and I am so very sorry that she is missing. My Sarafina is also here on doglost but I can tell you this website has been a lifesaver for me, which I am sure you have also found to be true. Reading your postings brings back how I felt in January of this year, shortly after Sarafina went missing. Unfortunately Sarafina is not home with me yet, but I certainly haven't given up on her and I continue to poster and do what I can. But I am sure that your Gracey will be home with you soon. I am glad you are talking with Catherine Walker, I have also spoken with her and she is a wonderful person and so very compassionate. Please know there are many people here who are following your story and saying lots and lots of prayers that Gracey will be home with you soon. I completely understand how you feel as well as what you are going through, and we are all hoping and praying your Gracey comes home very, very soon. We are all eager to see her in the blue and home and happy. I just wish I was closer so I could help y ou in some way. Hang in there and know we are all thinking of you and Gracey. Stay safe tonight little Gracey and hurry home to your mommy. xx

2010-07-25 23:17 marina

Registered myself on the sie K9, muns, but there is impossible to post. Wrote a letter to the owner.

What would you say about this world wide site Lost and found? http://www.lostandfound.com/

2010-07-25 15:51 marina

Hello and thank you everybody. We went today to put more posters, and husband broken our car. But we put then by B@Q, Aldi and refreshed some of them in our area.

2010-07-25 10:04 muns

I am glad to report we are getting a fantastic response on F/B and we have local and national promises of people spreading the word. In particular a nurse from the Norfolk and Norwich says she and many of her colleagues have Gracey on their pages and that there are many animal lovers at the N+N aware and have seen the DL posters Marina put up there. I think keeping up this pressure and making Gracey 'the most famous dog in te East' is the way to go! But now she is becoming Nationally in 'non dog circle' (and internationally) too. Just praying for that all important call. Just in case anyone has innocently been sold Gracey, I wanted to make clear that Marina would happily offer to buy such a person a replacement pup if she can only have her Gracey back.

2010-07-24 20:43 muns

Had a response from a lovely lady whose husband is a cab driver round Norwich and surrounding areas and he is going to spread the word re Gracey. That's great Thanks. M x

2010-07-24 17:26 muns

With Marina's permission I have started a facebook group to widen the search and highlight Gracey even more. Please do join http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?cropsuccess&id=824382286#!/group.php?gid=145434328802217 I have put Gracey's doglost link on the group. I just think we need to keep pushing 'too hot to handle' and I am hping this helps to this end.

2010-07-24 16:50 marina

And about fishing club. It's 100 acres of bushes and 90% of it is water. We went through by the car and by foot, with smelly food, calling Cracey quietly. Not all territory - it's impossible, but the officier said 20-30 anglers visit the place everyday. She would be noticed. There is very clean, disciplined member don't leave any leftovers and rubbish, and no fish guts, because they are not alowed to kill fish by the law, the put i back, funny people. We put posters and were promised every help.

2010-07-24 16:48 DogLostAngus

Helper Muns is coordinating the search on the ground - I have emailed local registered helpers to see if anyone can help with a search or handing out posters if you can please reply to Muns via contact details in the email - if you do not have an appeal in your inbox and can help please email me on doglostbucks@ymail.com with a contact number and I will pass to muns . Thankyou x

2010-07-24 16:45 marina

There was another call, from Dereham. The lady was so sad about my puppy, she said if she will find it she would not take money from me. She told me somebody saw a golden retriever puppy in Larwood and Kennedy surgery, it was not microchipped. I thought it might be Gracey if chip doesn't work. We called there, receptionist didn't want to help, so, we went there and spoke to the boss and police. This story is a little long and not finished yet, I will finish, but I suddenly lost a confidence, and need your advice. I just thougt how many newborn g.r.puppies were brought this 12 days to the surgeries for microchipping...Is there any chance that it was Gracey and her new chip didn't work?

2010-07-24 16:34 marina

We did have a call in the night on husband mobile. I was sleeping. Young man said he saw her near John Lewis, tryed to caugh her, but she ran away. It was 4 days ago, but he saw advert only yestarday. So strange, unbelievable. So far away and so many people around! Muns by telephone said it is just a funny call, not wotrhy. Dogs warden is closed week-ends, Taverham vets who works as a dogs warden week-ends says they didn't have any dogs for last days. And a couple of days I was told warden didnt have dogs for a month.

2010-07-24 16:28 marina

Thank you, dears friends, you are such a support...We both just got sick. We came from supermarkets - Asda, Lidl, Tesco on Ipswich road, Morrisons, Maplin, buisness centre in Bawburg. A lot of people say they saw her on the front page. Lidl and Asda promised to put poster on the glass entrance door. The worst was - could you believe it - Petshop in Logwater. They cannot put in by the entrance, only on the back of the shop on the customer board, where nobody will see it for ages. But anyway I put posters around every supermarket on the noticable places.

2010-07-24 11:04 Thorrocks0

Marina, thank you for your message and also the care you are taking to keep the plastic away from the horses. I am so sorry you are not feeling well and hope you feel better today. It is so exhausting looking for a dog. You always feel there is something else you could be covering at the same time as what you are doing. I lost a stone in weight although I could not afford to when my dog first went missing. So PLEASE take care of yourself and I am thinking of you and hope you get some good news soon, along with everybody else whose dog has not been found yet.

2010-07-23 18:19 muns

Great work again Marina. I hope you are feeling better soon. I expect you are exhausted. x

2010-07-23 17:00 marina

Just came from fishing club and Dereham - was call from here, but nothing. Put posters by Sainsbury's and PetShop in LOngwater. Gracey is in Advertiser today. I am not well, see you later.

2010-07-23 10:21 muns

Great news Marina. Take a wad of leaflets with you to leave for the fisherman and take your time looking around. x

2010-07-23 08:53 DogLostAngus

Brillaint news Marina - make sure you take some posters and ask them to give out to fishermen who are using the site so they have your number to hand if they spot her - has the advert gone in the local paper today ?

2010-07-23 08:35 marina

The fishing club called. We are going there and etc.

2010-07-23 08:09 DogLostNina

Marina why not get a megaphone and stand in a busy place/town centre and let everyone know loud and clear that Gracey is missing. Hand out missing posters at the same time. If the media get to hear that you are desperate enough to use a megphone you may get a lot of publisity.

2010-07-22 22:01 DogLostAngus

Marina - Doglost and Dolly's directive is the nearest thing to a national database for lost and stole dogs due to the relationship that we have built up with wardens and rescue kennels - it would be wonderful if the authorities all reported all lost and found dogs to our site then cross matching would be easy

2010-07-22 21:57 marina

Dear Muns, it's a shame for the rich country with the reputation of dog-lover. It's subject for a top newspapers and - don't laugh at me please - for MP and letters from all dogs charities. I even feel the hunger to campain for it. But I see, during the credit crunch no government will give money for that. Only if to try to find a sponsor.

2010-07-22 21:53 marina

I sent emails to the Dogs Wardens of the neigbourghs counties - Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk. Some of them came back. Need to call to them and to report this dead addreses to the site. This list (link) was given me from AlfiedDods site. As I remember with my swollen head, you gave the same list with telephone numbers of Dods Wardens. Do you need mine for your information pages? http://www.luton.gov.uk/internet/environment/animal_welfare/dog%20warden%20services/dogwarden_1.html

2010-07-22 21:52 marina

Thank you so much, dear Angus. You must work, I will cope and Muns is here. Only if we both get lost in ideas... I still have no calls. I am planning tomorrow to go to fishing club and main supermarkets, and for 1 or 2 nearest schools from my list.

Marina - keep it going you are coping extremly well under the circumstances - I will be keeping an eye on Graceys page while Helen has no internet access over the next week, Helen has passed my email address over to you so please if you have any questions or worries just drop me a line - due to my work I am unable to take many phone calls whilst I am working but have email on my phone and will always reply as quickly as I can.

It's a long complicated tale Miranda and one that many folk have been trying to campaign for for a long time. Just as we make inroads the body responsible for lost dogs is changed. I got a promise from a police inspectr in Norfolk to have a database between police stations in Norfolk and then they changed responsibility to the councils. Each council is independent of the next County etc etc Since dog licences were stopped there is no real register of dogs in this country. The 'powers that be' won't spend the money on it! Sounds so simple when you are looking for a pet doesn't it?

And united Dogs Warden register?

2010-07-22 19:53 marina

I am thinking: how strange, that in century of computer technologie Great Britain has no central datebase of lost pets? I know the site National Lost Pet register, but, as I understand, not all information automatically goes into it? I sent emails to dogs wardens of our neighbourghs countries, I don't mind this job, but shouldn't it be centralised automaticaly? So that every dog or cat from the small site like nasa.trust would be straight away on the National site? If a dog was stolen from Suffolk and delievered to Cornwall, and noticed - it would be vital.

2010-07-22 18:20 marina

Just have seen your recent comments, Muns and Helen. Thank you so much. "The most famous dog" and "The most famous pup" - you made my smile, dear Muns.

2010-07-22 18:19 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

That's brilliant Marina this is one place that really needs searching as I said to you on the phone. Gracey is featured on the front page of the Evening News tonight so the word is really getting out there. We just want calls to come in now to get Gracey home xxx

2010-07-22 18:15 marina

I planned to print out a promise from the fisching club and tomorrow morning, when my husbend with the car will be here, to go to the club and try to go in with this letter and check the place by the car ourself, but, thanks got, at last an answer came from the owner: Hi Marina I have passed your telephone number to one of my officers and he will give you a call when he can to arrange to meet you at the fishery. Kind Regards

2010-07-22 17:29 muns

You are doing SO well Marina. Nobody could possibly do more. I think Gracey is fast becoming the most famous dog in the East which is what we need to do.

2010-07-22 16:12 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Well done again Marina you are working so hard to find Gracey. My mum and dad have just been to Norwich and have seen loads of posters for Gracey up in the shops!She is getting very well known everywhere xxx

2010-07-22 15:22 marina

I got a first call from EDP. But not about sighting, about sympathy from Dereham and with promise to keep eyes. Sms from Norwich too. How kind some people are.

2010-07-22 15:14 marina

Our gypsy friend having 50 or more horses, some of them even near Yarmouth, is around the huge territory everyday by car and on foot. Sure he sees other gypsies. He might be not asking everybody but definitely will notice my puppy. Pitifully I do not see him and have no contact information, he usually comes to us.

2010-07-22 15:11 marina

Will visit this "very busy" scholl tomorrow by car and posters. Bringing my papers in order, called to Rail service as recommended about accidents. Promised to call back if there is something.

2010-07-22 15:09 marina

Called the nearest camping site, they do not have email or fax, but wrote down my telephone and promised to watch. Don't now, does it make sence to send post letters to othe camping sites or not..

2010-07-22 15:06 marina

Thank you, muns, I wouldn't maybe get this idea, being stuck in thinking too. I've done 10 nearest schools (2 are closed, one refused, "too busy"). Called them and send poster by email, they promised to display it were very simpathetic. I think that's enough and for other schools we'd better at last will poster tomorrow large shopping centres like ASDA etc. Anyway parents do shopping, wether their children finished studying or not.

2010-07-22 12:18 muns

Marina, where you are stuck because of lack of transport, then ring and ask for an e mail address and ask if you e mail a poster would they be so kind as to display it for you. The schools certainly have e mail addresses but if they received a polite phone call they may mention Gracey in their end of term assemblies or whatever. It's wortha try because school kids are about so much more than adults in the hols. Likewise the camp sites may well put a poster up.

2010-07-22 10:44 marina

Found camping sites. There must be leaftovers of picnic food, trees and water, as mediums say, if to believe them.But they all are faraway from as. The nearest - with post code NR1 (and we are NR5)is by Lakeham, it seems extremely far away from our area for a 4 month old puppy. And mediums says she is near us. But if not to think abou mediums, I am without car and about 20 camping sites have only telephone numbers. I need to bring all my papers in order and understand, what to do first today. Still nothing from fishing club and no telephone number, because they are private. Thanks to all of you.

Dear Thorrocks, I see. I visited field yestarday and all the posters were in one piece. Maybe it was only one foal and a wrong place for a poster - on the bank. Unfortunately, our area is totally populated by gypsy horses... oh, what I say - fortunately of course! But in the same time the filds are littered with plastic and paper on the ground everyday. We collect it everyday when we walk and everyday people drop them again. So horses are use to it, and we are friends with their owner, settled gypsy man. It has never happened with his horses, only once, half of year ago, because of my fault, when a foal pulled a piece of plastic after bread from my hand and ran away. I am afraid, th foal ate it and we could not caught her. But she is still fit and healthy :-) Maybe bacause it's gypsy taugh horses. So I hope it's all right.

2010-07-22 10:20 marina

But I will hope and wait results from 3 newspapers too. Today in must be on the front page of Evening News, tomorrow - in Advertiser, but inside. All this newspapers sell their front and back pages (where everybody can see it straight away and even if one doesn't read his Advertiser) for months forward, or in advance, I don't know how to say. It was a big luck, they told me, that I got a part of front page of EN so quickly.

2010-07-22 10:16 marina

Or gypsy. Somebody told me travellers came near the Colney Hill.

2010-07-22 10:16 marina

I wander: how is it possible if somebody suddenly got a white, pretty big puppy, and AGAIN - NOBODY SEES IT? You cant keep it always at home, it wiil cover your floors with excrements and urine. You need to keep it in the garden. Then neighbours will see it. Even if it is a manor house as we have in the area with bricks walls, personnel and workers, delievers visit it. Maybe it is in the ares where posters have not reached.

2010-07-22 10:11 Thorrocks0

Marina, I feel for you, I really do, but in your post of 19/7 you said that horses and particularly foals eat your posters! As somebody who has a missing dog, but also has horses and a foal, I beg you not to put any plastic or anything sharp near any livestock who may be able to reach it. Perhaps you could leave a few posters under a stone by the gateway and a note asking if owner would mind putting them up. I'm sure they would help and put them somewhere safe but visible. I do so hope you find your little girl soon x

2010-07-22 10:10 marina

Thanks a lot, dearest. I will ask neighbours maybe somebody doesn't work today and can give a lift to the couple of nearest schools, they are not really near us. I have a map with schools. Then I'll check camping sites.

2010-07-22 09:49 DogLostNina

ukcampsite.co.uk has a list of many caravan/camp sites in the Norwich area. If they were contacted the site owners might allow posters to be put up and let campers know that she is missing

2010-07-22 09:41 muns

Just posted on Norfolk pet rehoming Yahoo group with link to DL and DL phone number and I have already put Gracey on several Norwich facebook pet pages, as well as my own F/B page etc

2010-07-22 09:28 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Thanks muns for letting me know about the article in the E.D.P, praying there is some news from this article xxx

2010-07-22 07:31 muns

Gracey IS on page 6 of the EDP today. A clear easily spotted ad. Just hoping the phone keeps ringing with great info today Marina!!!!

2010-07-21 22:12 marina

Thanks a lot...Unfortunately the schools are not postered. My son suddenly went back to London and has not done what he promised, and I am now without car. I was so panicing about her starving around somwhere near that I was concentrated only on the local area, what I can do on feet and bycycle. Husband will be at home hopefully tomorrow, on Thursday night.

2010-07-21 21:39 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Well done Marina, you are doing brilliant especially as you have no car at the moment! Hopefully the owner of the fishing lake will get back to you tonight or tomorrow and you will beable to search this vast area, looking at google maps it seems there is a track that takes you round the lakes and plenty of cars parked up so hopefully you will beable to speak to many fishermen. Keep going Marina you are doing so very well xxx

2010-07-21 18:58 muns

You are doing SO well Marina-you really are....you just need some luck now.....I am also fairly convinced she is with someone and so being in the papers tomorrow is really good. Hopefully if anyone is reluctant to give her up then maybe others may be more inclined to make them do the right thing. The reward should also be an inducement.....Did you poster the schools before they break up? I am going to say a special prayer for you and Gracey and start a prayer chain for her safe return. xxx

2010-07-21 18:27 marina

I scented the ground on the field behing of our house:-), feeling myself as a male dog marking his territory. But I need more supply:-( Told to my husband to collect a valuable liquid from now and deliver home. :-) He promised to drink a lot and to deliver it on Thursday evening.

2010-07-21 18:24 marina

Fishing club didn't call yet, I send a couple of letters, will wait. Spoke to Catherine again, she sais she still gets energy from Gracey and Gracey is exited knowing that people are searching her.She has caught a smal animal. That's all.

2010-07-21 18:21 marina

I am back from the Colney estate, checked all wild corners upon the river around the lock which Catherine mentioned, maybe you remember, Helen and Marilyn< near the beton bridge, Tollgate road it is called. The land is abandoned, one huge brocken barn there and even small 1 room house with destroyed and misused furniture, a beggar could live here long ago. A Ppuppy could too, but there is no food at all. There is a way to the water, but nettles and blackberry are very high, it is actually swan's family's place. I checked everywhere where somebody could go through nettles anb blackberries, i don't think that a puppy with her bare tummy could go where I could not, it's very harmful. I am loosing a faith in this idea that such a small, noticable and unexperienced puppy could hide herself so perfectly well in wilderness or not. Maybe dogs get scared of people when lost, but I think in the beginning when Gracey was running in panic the first thing what she will do is to jump on the first human being. She is, as retriever, people lover. Somebody is keeping her.

2010-07-21 14:22 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

We can put them back up to the top of page one for different reasons, for instance when Gracey is in the E.D.P, which will hopefully be tomorrow I can bump her up to the top again.

2010-07-21 14:15 marina

I ve just read other's lost retriever ad and chat, and noticed, that the dog MAIZY was lost at 3rd of May (horrible!), but her ad still is located as a second one on the list, easy to see and to find. But Gracey is already far away. Why is it so?

2010-07-21 11:51 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Marina I will call you

2010-07-21 11:50 marina

This is the fishing club on the Google Earth: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl 5 large lakes or so. But we will see.

2010-07-21 11:35 marina

Now I am waiting a call from fishing club and trying to print a map of the area - Google satellit map or Google Earth map. Husband did it! But not this area. And all what I can get - is a poor map without trees and water. And husband is in Yorkshire. God!

2010-07-21 11:33 marina

Don'y worry about me, Muns. I sleep 7 hours with pills, it's enough. I am just not able to do anything else and I need to be physically ehxausted or I would go to pieces. But you can't imagine what does it mean for me - your support, it's only sourse of my power. Just to know what to do is all what I need.

2010-07-21 11:29 marina

I should take Advertiser first. The whole last page would be available. I see now, that Advertiser is the free newspaper which comes to everybody, and not only for subscribers as EN and EDP. I think this advice might be added to your information list.

2010-07-21 11:11 marina

I gave an advert in Advertiser, 8th page (if I am still having my brains) on Friday. It was only available

2010-07-21 10:58 marina

They say I have misundertood them (very possibly)- it is going out definitely tomorrow in both of issues - front page EN and 6th page (they changed position) of the EDP.

2010-07-21 08:31 marina

Looked at EDP on-line. Being stupig, cant see how to get the page 5.

2010-07-21 08:26 marina

But could you understand how is it possible that she hides all this time so perfect for her age, that nobody spotted her?

2010-07-21 08:25 marina

Muns, they promised EDP TODAY on the 5th page and Evening News on the front page tomorrow. Did you check it on-line? We do not recieve neswpaper, unfortunately, are internet-people. Thank you, Angus. Will do. Just am frightening of the size and wilderness of this fishing club. An elefand might get hidden here.

2010-07-21 07:47 muns

You are doing SO well Miranda but you really must try and get some ret time too else you will wear yourself out altogether. I agree, it wold be good to check the fisherman's area and leave some leaflets behind for fisherman to pick up when they go there. Gracey is getting VERY well know now thanks to your tremendous efforts and evryone is out looking for her. WELL DONE YOU!!!! I have just checked the e edition of the EDP and I don't think she is in today? Maybe tomorrow or is it the EEN today?

2010-07-20 23:41 DogLostAngus

Marina - also look for stables and horse boxes - these could be confused for a caravan in an image - again dogs are often drawn to the scent of horses and can live off horse dung for weeks as it is full of nourishment - Horse owners are normally very kind to dog owners when it comes to missing pets and they ride accross land that you may not be able to cover on foot

2010-07-20 23:36 DogLostAngus

Marina - I think that you are doing a great job in your search for Gracey, please think these things over and take in all the information, my gut feeling after looking at google earth this afternoon is that she could well be sheltering in one of the fishermens huts on the fishing lake - this would most likely give her a source of food such as sandwich remains, bait debris and a supply of fresh water - all that she needs to survive. She will quite likely be dirty now and possibly be more brown that that beautiful pale colour in her photos's. Most dogs on the 'run' tend to move at first light and as dusk so this will make it harder to spot her especially if she is on private land. Take the fishing club up on their offer to show you around and leave some items of unwashed clothing near to some of the fishermens landing areas, I tink that these folk could be the key to getting Gracey home safe. - you need their eyes looking for her when they are in the private land.

2010-07-20 23:33 marina

Dog warden of Norwich consil said that they didn't have any dog reported for the last month at all. They definitely would not destroy a dog in a week, as I read it somewhere in information list. They do it only if a dog is very injured, old by the vet's advice. And after long time keeping a dog in kennel. Then they give an advert in EDP if somebody wants to have this dogs. City counsil says they do it twice a year.

2010-07-20 23:29 marina

Yes, I have forgotten: radio Norwich and Norfolk did tell about Gracey on sunday and, maybe, will do it again, but I am welcom to call and ask to do it again, they promise help. I spoke to RSPA advice line and they are confident, I can contact police about stealing the puppy. I spoke to police. They were very kind and told me they definitely will help if I would see my dog and people wouldn't give it back, because its really stealing. But that's all, what they can do and they do not search dogs.

2010-07-20 23:17 marina

And again: we put more than hundred posters and flyers everywhere, even in the city centre people (sellers) discuss a lost puppy, most of pedestrians know, but nobody spotted free running white puppy. How it could be possible?

2010-07-20 23:11 marina

Teoreticly this fisfing club might be the place with suits both descriptions of the two mediums. And I have a very kind email from Chairman Chris Oakley: Hi Marina sadly we have had no reports of your puppy on our site but if you could give us your telephone number I will gladly arrange for one of my officers to call you and arrange to show you around our site so you can be sure your puppy is not there. Thank you

2010-07-20 23:09 marina

When I sent the letter to Catherine, with great horror I understood, that I confused west with east. And to the west is a very difficult land, wild and overgrown, with no laybays. We checked this area, 4 of us, but it's really huge. It comes to the private fishing club with huge lakes, and, maybe, leftovers of sandviches from fishers. I showed it to Helen and Muns from the back entrance.

2010-07-20 23:07 marina

Catherine said she sees something like lock, shluse on the river. I went straight away by bycycle. I checked the area, but unfortunately it brought nothing yet. We have a lock on the river nearly, I can see it from my window, but it's very popular place, literally every 5 minuts somebody walks there, every second one with a dog. And there is no fast food there. I followed the river to the west, calling her, but this is very popular llace too. I though Earlham park by university might be the place, because people make picnics there and left a lot of rubbish, and there is a cafe, and even smal waterfall like a lock. I went through following river, asking people, wich I always do, and putin posters, till the fields by Norfolk hospital. But: tha Earlham park is over the intensive Old watton road and is boarded around by proper metallic mesh. How could be come into... But the main question which puzzles us is: if she is running around, absolutely baby-dof, knowing nothing but people, how could she hide herself so properly that nobody in the city didn't see her even once?? We can see even wild foxes and rabbits...People call me only to tell, that they checked their sheds or they will keep eyes open. How is it possible, that she is outside, such unexperienced puppy, and unvisible?

2010-07-20 23:05 marina

Good evening, dearest. I spoke to Catherine again and she told me: she spoke to Gracey, the puppy is pretty fit, but lost and confused (of course) and it is FREE, definitely free from the room and from the line, she has only collar. She is still not far away, living by discarded food like after picnics or from the laybays shops. Unfortunately, we do not have laybays on the roads here. And Gracey is is by our side of river, concerning by the traffic noise and moving to the west.

2010-07-20 19:39 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Yes that's right muns Catherine is an animal communicator x

2010-07-20 19:05 muns

Catherine is, I am assuming a clairvoyant or medium Marina and it is promising that she feels a strong message from Gracey. You are doing great and it's in the EDP tomorrow. She will be the most famous pup in Norfolk soon. Well done you. Try and get some rest to for yourself mind. x

2010-07-20 18:14 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Have spoken to Marina and she has just got in from searching, there are a lot of buildings/ barns in the area that need to be checked out. Marina has managed to find an E-mail address for the private fishing lake and will be E-mailing them tonight, hopefully she will beable to gain access to it to search for Gracey. She has also given Catherine Walker some more details to work on in the hope that Catherine will give us more information. Stay safe little girl until you are found xxx

2010-07-20 17:29 marina

What is claywoyant and its promising?

2010-07-20 17:28 marina

Thanks a lot, muns. I checked the area above the river where we were with you, all this houses with big gardens, some of them with sheds and stables, checked them with owners together. There is a farm, Oak Farm, with barns, but they didn't answer the door, and I left a poster and a letter about barn and sheds. Think to visit again or to call them. Begged Catherine to come here. She promised to work out more if I give more details. I sent her satellite map of the place and explanations. Going to reach some other places. Exhausted and have to see off the son and the girl. A lot of people, every second one, which I stop, know about Gracey. I dont mind to scend a way home, but from where? I understood so that she is closed in the building.

I have just heard in the car that Graham Barnard is on Radio Norfolk from 4pm-6/7 pmHe is not only an animal lover but also he used to be my next door neighbour so I have sent him all Gracey's info and begged him to mention her tonight.....here's hoping he reads it before he goes on air. The claivoyant's info is promising then....keep praying someone spots her and gets in touch soon. If what the claire voyant says is true and she has not gone far but can't find her way home it may be worth scenting a trail to home Marina?

The answer from Catherine Walker, which you recommended me, Helen: I am so sorry to hear that you have lost Gracey Marina. I am picking up energy from her, which indicates that she is alive and in Gracey's case the energies are very strong, which usually indicates that she is in good health. She is very confused though and tells me she is lost. She also shows me a small window, like someone might have in a 'pantry' as if she has climbed through it and dropped down to the ground, this is at night time as it is dark. She shows me property near to where she is and someone trying to tempt her to them with food. Wherever she has gone to, she seems to have got there on foot. There is no indicator of anyone taking her in a vehicle. The food she eats seems to be mostly bread and other discarded food, but I'm not sure where this is, she shows me a hedge and possibly the back of a fast food trailer, so it could be in a layby. The location is fairly rural. One thing that she doesn't seem able to do it track her way home, so her movements are fairly random, without purpose, but she hasn't gone far from where she was. I hope this helps in some way. If you want to give me more details of how you lost her, I can may be work out more from the time she disappeared.

Great work Marina. £750 is a bit steep BUT if it gets Gracey back it will be worth every penny. Well done. You must be exhausted. George really enjoyed lunch and so did we thanks.

Brilliant Marina for getting the ads in the newspapers. You are sounding a lot more positive today and really moving forward with getting the word out about Gracey, hopefully this will bring us some news xxx

2010-07-19 19:38 marina

We put a lot of posters and dropped a lot of flyers in doors today,I gave an ad in EDP and EN. Available was only Thurthday front page of Evening News and Wendsday 5th page of EDP. People are so kind. I thought I know England for 9 years and love it, but only now I am beginning to know and love it. Nobody refused. Almost everybody says: give me more, I will put it somewhere. I discovered, that blue - forgotten - stuff is better for shops windows than sticky tape (no stains), but for bus stop clear tape is better, and you need to put poster from inside of telephone boxes, not outside (rain). Trees are good too, if you first put poster in plastic file. Unfortunately, horses on the field chew posters, especially foals. And some people destroy posters too. I hope some of them take it for phone numbers.

2010-07-19 18:34 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Thank you Riverlady, twitter will really help to spread the word. x

2010-07-19 17:03 DogLostRiverlady

Ok will put on twitter ......I will put NORFOLK in capitals and the area in small case so it will start doing the rounds.

2010-07-19 16:56 muns

I'd say Yes to twitter. Can't do amy harm can it and may strike a chord with someone. I am going to post Gracey on a few F/B pages that are Norfolk based. Thanks M

2010-07-19 16:44 DogLostRiverlady

Do you want me to put this on twitter? It might reach a wider circle of Norfolk folk? If people retweet the info then gets passed around to yet more people.It is sort like a cyber leaflet.

2010-07-19 14:53 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Met up with muns and marina (good to met you both and thank you marina for the lovely lunch xx) We searched the area where Gracie went missing and further in to the woods, there are plenty of people walk all over this area and I feel sure Gracey would have been seen if she was still in this area. Marina you are doing a brilliant job.I feel you should put a leaflet through every door of every house that backs on to the park. I know your son was out starting to do this as we left. The E.D.P will cover a wide area and and hopefully Gracey will be featured in it on Thurs. As muns said please do ring one of us if you need advice or a chat. Take care Helen x

2010-07-19 14:40 muns

I am glad we could come and look Marina and thank you so much for lunch from me and George :-) I was glad to see your son and his friend leafleting as we left and feel in my own mind that Gracey is with someone somewhere. She may even have been sold to them and they are unsuspecting. So making her 'too hot to handle' and offering a reward for her return or information leading to her return is the way to go. It was lovely to meet you and the family and also to meet Helen. I am hoping Gracey wil be back home very soon. Most 'dog people' feel a pup of Grace's age will latch onto a person when she gets over her initial fright. It was heartening to meet so many dog walkers in the area who were aware and keeping a look out for her. Just keep doing all the things you are doing. There isn't a lot more you can do. The EDP shold be a good medium to get her known throughout Norfolk. I have put her photo and a link to here on my F/B page too. Always here if you need to chat.

I'm over on the coast so a bit too far away to help on a practical front unfortunately. I can however tell you that I know of a number of dogs who have run off with flexi leads attached and they have all been rescued :) Lets face it with those puppy teeth a flexi lead has no chance! You will probably find that Gracey has been found and taken in by someone who thinks she is adorable! Keep postering, saturate the area with posters until she is "too hot to handle". There are a lot of fairs, fetes and dog shows over the next few weeks, lets make sure they all know about Gracey also Horse meetings etc. I hope you are reunited with your baby soon.

Have spoken to marina and she is doing a brilliant job and everybody she speaks to in the area know about Gracey.I have answered many of the questions she has asked on here. I have given her some contact numbers for local radio stations including radio Norwich. I have suggested that she trys to find the owner of the fishing lake so they are able to access this area to search for Gracey, in the mean time I know a poster will be up on the entrance tonight! I have suggested that she trys to speak to as many of the fishermen she can and hand out flyers to them. Stay safe little girl until you are found xxx

Marina I will call you

I was so sad thinking that some people dont wjnt to give my puppy back. Now I am in nightmare with the image of attached dying puppy somewhere in wilderness since Monday! Is there any chace to find a tracking dog or any help to search this area of fishing club?

2010-07-18 17:46 marina

I was told than a puppy will die very soon if attached far from water and dehidrated. But our medium (honorar is agreed) ist tired and angry with my asking to visit us as he does for his clients. What sort of medium it is, god knows.

2010-07-18 17:43 marina

I wrote to him. I am not sure about such stuff, but life in unpredictable and I want to try everything. He sais in his vision Gracey is alive, signal is strong. She is, he said, in the area between large masses of water, trees all bushes and the road. Frightened, but alive. And that we must search her ourself. Four of us checked through again our area witn two small lakes and a river, where a lot of people walk dogs, I think, they would discover her before, and a huge area with a large lake in wilderness, fishing club, prohibited for public. WE checked it, but it wild, overgrown and huge. We need device or tracking dog for that. I called to Mr.Smith from your information list, who was working for you before to extract dogs from rabbits and fox holes, but he said, he cannot help and he asked you a year before to delete his name from the information list.

Thank you so much for your support. Dear Helen and Marilyn, I tried to contact you, but phone doesn't answer, and email to Marilyn came back, I wrote down your addresse wrong. I need you opinions and hopefully advice. 1)Radio Norfolk ignores all mails for 4 days. I cant contact any representer, maybe I am too stupid. Their phone doesn't answer. 2)We put maybe hundred of posters and will contunue, put poster on our car. 3) We sent real letters with posters to all surgeries from your information list and kennels, which do not have fax. To others we faxed posters. I put flyiers onto every envelop, so every postmen will see that. 4)We spoke to people with dogs, postmen and taxi drivers, gave them flyiers which they promised to put in cabins. Will carry on with bus drivers too. 5)I spoke to journalist in the Evening Nes about writing a story about Gracey and a problem in common, she promised to call back if her boss will agree. If not I'll write a letter myself, maybe it will be published. 6) Gracey is registered on 4 internet sites. 7) Our friend gypsy, horse owner, is helping us, checking the area, promised to speak to his people. 8)On Monday I will visit Publishing Hous again and hope to give an ad on the front page of EDP. Next is very important and I need your opinions.

Thanks muns for offering to help and support marina. I know the owner's are doing everything possible to find Gracey and will continue to do so until they find her x

2010-07-18 11:35 muns

I have spoken with Marina now who is doing everything possible to find Gracey. She is postering in Norwich today and I have advised her to contact some of the presenters at Radio Norfolk and Radio Norwich. Apparently the ad in the EEN is disappointingly small but Gracey is going in the EDP tomorrow. She has my contact details now. Colney is a fair way from me (over 1o miles at a guess) but I am happy to help with anything I can.

I wondered if it was the EEN after I couldn't find it in the EDP. Well that has a good circulation. Hope you are getting some calls from the ad Marina. I am north of Norwich so not really in your area but I am always on the phone if you want to chat to someone closer. DL can always get my details for you or just put a note on here for me to ring you.

2010-07-16 22:17 marina

Thank you so much for everybody. Such a unexpected support and warmth in agony. The newspaper where Gracey is today is called Evening News. owner

Thanks muns. I believe Gracey was in the East Anglian Daily today and tomorrow, I have advised that she should go in to the E.D.P as this covers a very wide area. Meadow Green have been notified and also Norwich branch of R.S.P.C.A.

2010-07-16 16:17 muns

Make sure you contact Meadow Green which is south of Norwich. My guess is that some folks may be tempted to hang on to a lovely ret pup for a while.....so poster poster poster and I have just checked the EDP and no ad in there that I could find. Which local paper is she in?
