still trying to deal with Rubi never coming home, she was a huge part of my life and miss her terribly xx RIP Rubi Chik, I hope you realised how much you were loved and how much you are missed xx

I'm so sorry to hear this.

It's so sad when they end up on the railway line or the road or in water but an accident is an accident. However, it annoys me so much when I read about those shot by farmers. It's about time the law was changed to make farmers think twice before they take this action. All they care about is the income they may lose through lost livestock.

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colours. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.

There is always food and water and warm Spring weather. The old frail animals are young again. They play all day with each other. There is only one thing missing, they are not with their special person who loved them so much on Earth.

Each day they all run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears rise up! The eyes are staring! Then suddenly, this one runs from the group! You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her into your arms and you both embrace. Your face is licked again and again and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separate

Why do people do these things. Do they not think they are peoples pets. GIVE them back to their owners. Sorry - it really annoys me. Hope she is found soon
Unknown
Someone has come forward and confirmed that Rubi was stolen from Whitehill Lane the day she went missing. Please don't stop looking for her but I do know she could be anywhere. If anyone sees somebody with a red staffy that has not had one before please ask questions. She needs to be home with me. Thanks x

Hi. I live in Wootton Bassett and regularly walk round the fields where Rubi ran off. I went for a long walk round there today but unfortunately only saw some pheasants, crows and the deer. I'll keep an eye out when I'm out and about over the weekend.
