- Oh Seeks did you have a dog go missing?
- 2017-08-30 11:09 Seeks
- Tinks family not only never stop looking they also help so many others to. Its a side line of the missing that some owners help others so much.
Hollieberry I know what your saying but I also in a way envy owners who can move on. To continuously look long fte there is any hope left in you you will find them does do damage to your life...Well it has mine ;-)
The thing is though after talking to so many owners NONE every truly walk away but hey find ways to cope that work for them so when you see someone say I got another dog etc it may be more complicated than it reads. xx
Tinks hell will freeze before we forget you to baby xxxxx - 2017-07-13 18:23 Hollieberry
- Thank you CopperM I guess some people never stop looking for their dogs and others give up too quick .I always remember a post for a lost Spaniel who had just been rehomed & after 3 weeks the new owner said they were not looking any more & was getting a new dog so somewhere there is a lost dog that no one is looking for. I would never stop looking for one of my dogs so I am really pleased That Tinks is not forgotten .

- Hollieberry; owner was texted an alert to this DL lost number and knew instantly it was for Tinks...
- 2017-07-10 20:25 Hollieberry
- CopperM after all this time maybe you should contact one of the above numbers just in case owner of Tinks is not not checking posts .

- had this from an animal communicator as well Hi Jacqueline Day
This is the reading I have from Tinks.
She said she is a happy and sociable girl who liked to be involved in everything that was going on.
She liked to lie with things that belonged to the family members especially when she was in her own. She loved being around people and would love the attention. She says she woke everyone up at a certain time especially on weekends!
She said she was very scared and she got loose she isn't stating whether it was on a walk or from the garden but I sense something spooked her. It was a strange noise or vehicle something like a bin wagon? As it was starting and stopping.
She roamed happily around the area for a while and got into fields and got further always from smells she recognised to help her get back!
She became very disorientated sleeping hidden in fields behind fences and in ditches. She ran and ran very long legs and could cover a good distance. She got to a water space and stayed around this area for a while as had water and there was food around which had been left? She kept moving on as she needed a quieter area she came to long strips of Tarmac and large hanger buildings a possible air strip/ air field? ? There were lots of strange noises.
She moved on between here and another water space/ river. I'm not sure how long she was around here for as times for her have been muddled. But it was long enough to have lost her white colour and loose a bit of weight.
I feel someone spotted her in this area and was back and forwards from here so I'm not sure if they were working close or visiting. As I feel they left food and came back for a few days running. I also sense this male picked her up she had hurt her back leg.
She was taken in the car to a small holding / very large garden just to watch her and build her strength back up to help her. There are gardens and trees like an orchard space to run with chickens. I asked her how long she was in the car for and she said they drove for a while but with lots of stops. There's lots of outside noise. She feels worried as she knows she is missed and will be looked for she also says she is missing a child. The place where she is have nursed her back to health.
I will try and get more detail of the area she is in. love mel

- I've seen an AD to rehome a dog on a FB site which looks just like this dog. She is being given away. https://www.facebook.com/groups/327789400592556/ I can't quite tell from the photos whether the patches match. Perhaps it should be investigated? I have a copy of the photo but can't load it on here. Update 5/3. Post seems to have been removed from FB but I do have a photo and the name of the seller. They are in BrightonLast edited: 2014-03-05 13:29:17 by Zac

- Hi Tribalclaire , I have only seen him the once and it was not long before dusk fell, so around half 4 / 5ish / half 5. I have a lousy memory but it was kindof around that time xx
- 2012-11-28 22:38 tribalclaire
- boo do u know what time of day you see the man and dog looking like tinks about i dont work so dont mind heading down that way xx
- 2012-11-26 21:38 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- Okay, well done! Now, if we can keep a look out and maybe even find out where he lives, then we could discreetly check to see if this is Tinks. Need to tread carefully in case it isn't, but Tinks could have been sold on. Or, if anyone can get close enough to check on the markings (carry a photo of Tinks in your purse) then we can either eliminate or investigate further. Very well noted Boo. x

- We live in Chelmsford and were excercising our dogs in the tennis courts at Melbourne Park last week. I saw a man walking a dog really similar to tinks. She was on a lead walking next to him along the path in melbourne park. He was quite tall, thin, brown hair, glasses and i think he was wearing one of the those oilskin type waterproof coats (proper outdoorsie type coat).

Seen with a tall man, brown hair, wearing glasses, walking past Broomfield primary school. Please can we keep a look out. This is same half of Essex as Tinks went missing. Tinks owner has managed to help reunite a number of dogs whilst trying to find her baby, so please keep looking out for Tinks. xx

- I've seen the dog that looked like Tinks in the Romford area and it is not Tinks. I will continue to keep an eye out when I am out and about. xx
- 2012-09-29 00:56 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- Thanks Willow1 and jollyloluk. Owners have requested the second poster be placed on site. Not sure that this is clear enough for the missing poster but itdoes give different views of Tinks body. Come on Tinks, where are you baby? x

- Debs, there isn't a railway line anywhere near is there? I so hope not, but need to ask. I never had any response from owners, but at least we have you! I have. however, seen Tinks' page on FB. Well done. x
- 2012-09-01 10:17 Debs
- Thanks Kimmybear, although i've not logged on to write i have been checking on here regularly. The family have not stopped campaigning for Tinks, a back to basics walk of the fields from the point Tinks went missing took place last week, far easier to see now corn has been cut but not a sign of anything. The farmers were asked to keep an eye out as they cut the crops, even for the red harness she had on when she went missing. Leaflets have been distributed in Southend high street and the family have visited the homeless food station and spoke to several homeless people to keep an eye out.
- 2012-08-09 21:49 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- We also have a dog similar to Tinks in the Romford area, so this is being checked out too. Wanted to let you know that people are still looking for Tinks and they will check the photos for Tink's markings and compare to those seen. The photos show his markings really well. x
- 2012-08-08 23:37 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- We have received a comment that a dog similar to Tinks has been seen being walked by a lad around Dunton area whilst looking for Billy. This is not a confirmed sighting, just a possibility. We would need to match up Tinks patches with this dog to be sure. x
- 2012-08-08 21:02 B30
- Have updated the details magicpoogle. If the possible sighting in Gunners Park needs to be removed just let us know.
- 2012-08-08 20:26 magicpoogle
- just looked at poster to print off some and it still says Tinks sighted and offered for sale - as this has proven not to be the case maybe the poster should be changed back to missing
- 2012-08-03 18:41 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- Well I never. Glad that one dog is back home, but where is Tinks? Yes, she could well have been picked up. In reality, she could be anywhere, but that fact that she is micro chipped means she has a better chance of being found if she manages to escape or is let go. However, it doesn't stop them from disappearing in the first place. I so hate it when owners are doing everything they can and still their beloved dog hasn't been found, just like Debs whose precious fur baby is out there somewhere. All we can do is carry on and never give up hope. Miracles do happen sometimes on this site. Let's hope for a couple here. Keep working at it, you never know which poster will be THE one. x
- 2012-08-01 00:22 Debs
- The dog being offered for sale in Chalkwell park was a stolen dog but wasnt Tinks, it was reunited with it's owner. I went out with the family at the weekend and covered the Barling fields, fishing lake, and boat mooring site, we gave out several leaflets and it seemed quite a few people were already aware of Tinks through seeing posters of facebook group. The farmers have started cropping the fields now so it's easier to look about at least! local dog walkers are also walking around areas from shoebury to Leigh and beyond on a daily basis looking out for Tinks. Quite a few pubs, shops, vets, taxi's, bus shelters and phone boxes have had posters put up in various area. Family are feeling Tinks may have been picked up by someone who is laying low with her due to no definite sightings
- 2012-07-28 14:11 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- Can we get posters out to all the pubs in all these areas? Dogs are often sold in pubs, someone may know something. Also, posters in cafes and pubs all along A127 route into Basildon, Wickford. Also do Leigh and all Southend.xxx
- 2012-07-28 14:06 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- Oh drat! So, someone else could have him especially if that original sighting was him and with someone trying to sell a dog, I would say it is highly likely it was Tinks. Although, as we know anything can happen with our dogs, so maybe we just need posters further afield but definitely where he was originally sighted. Someone must know more. Thanks Debs. x

- 2012-07-17 00:15 Debs
- Sorry I hadnt been on laptop for the past few days so only been using phone internet and couldnt remember my log in details! I had passed on details from postman to the owners and i believe they have been to the address a couple of times but no response. They have been continuing postering but are finding alot are being taken down. I have advised this could be due to Tinks being held in that area. There is a growing following on facebook and they have set a group up called Tinks the staffy. Glad Laura did the article in the echo, although it hasnt bought anyone forward with info on Tinks, it's raised awareness of her missing and those of the others missing in the area. Keeping paws crossed for a positive outcome soon
- 2012-07-16 21:43 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- No probs, Jayne. I knew it had been approved via you. :-) So wish Tinks was now home. We keep going..... He is somewhere.

- Tx Kimmybear for co ordinating with Laura to get the details in...she did call me but your local knowledge is better than mine...

- 2012-07-12 23:00 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- Remember if you have any problem, you can call police and us of course! Hoping for good news! Hope the postie is right. Very pleased with Laura. I sthe paper actually out Debs? What is in it; who is in it? Thank you. x

- Yes it was Laura, lovely lady, probably more compassionate than most journalists due to the fact she too had her dog go missing for a while. There has been another possible sighting of Tinks last night at St Marys Church / Edith road / Victoria Avenue. I spoke to taxi drivers and gave them posters and also postered the lampost. Spoke to the postman who believed he may have seen Tinks at an address local to the sighting, this is being followed up by the owners. Paws crossed!
- 2012-07-11 21:00 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- Just re read it. Yes, Echo have been speaking to me about this and I put Tinks' name forward with some others. That is all okay Debs. So glad they went with it. Well done. x
- 2012-07-11 20:58 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- Bumped! So glad he is in there! Was it by Laura? She's getting a few dogs sorted, I think. Excellent news! Come on Tinks! Home girl! x
- 2012-07-11 13:11 Debs
- Can we bump Tinks due to have a newspaper appeal in the Evening Echo today. I had rang Jo and left a voicemail to contact me as the Echo wanted to do a big story on the fact so many dogs missing from ss postcode but i didnt get a response from her :-/ paws crossed some info will come to light in due of the article. Posters are still being put up. Wish this rain would get lost so i can get on my bike and look around the fields! the corn is growing rapidly higher every day making it even more difficult to look about!.....Lizzy thanks for that link to Gumtree i have passed it on and Creativeworshiper that preloved ad is 21 days old, Tinks went missing 11 days ago but thanks for looking and thinking of Tinks x

- 2012-07-07 15:38 Spangles
- Have reported both these sightings on FB and asked everyone living in that direction to spread the word...lets get you home Tinks x
- 2012-07-07 12:59 Debs
- There have been 2 reports of a dog with a description of Tinks being seen, first one was at Chalkwell park with a lad about 17 years old dark skin asking people if they wanted to buy the staff for £250, the people he asked didnt see the missing posters until after he had left, people have since been around the area to see if this lad re appears but at the moment no more sightings. The second sighting was in Gunners Park Shoebury of a staff running around on it's own late last night, again on further investigation nothing has come to light. The family are continuing to poster and today i went to Garons Park where there is the Robin Hood Dog event on and have handed out hundreds of leaflets for both Tinks and my boy Ozzy. Tink's also went missing with her red harness still attached as wel as her diamontee collar
- 2012-07-05 22:15 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- That is brilliant Debs. So hope that Tinks has simply strayed and that he keeps safe. Keep the posters going up. You are doing fab! x
- 2012-07-04 10:36 Debs
- Went out last night with the owners postering all around from off sutton road to all of Barling.I also postered at the school. The owners also have horses so the farms and stables have been highlighted. Walked through the fields and my god i never realised just how many fields there are in Barling!this morning i gave posters to the bin men to take back to depot and deposit to other drivers. I also advised owners on scenting, postering further a field ie to shoeburyness and rochford (i'll cover parts of Rochford today. Tinks has disappeared before on a walk at Gusted hall and ended up approx 2 hrs later in Rayleigh! now thats about 3-5 miles! so we know this dog can travel!
- 2012-07-03 21:23 Kimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
- Thanks Debs. What I'll do is put "yes" to the reward. This means you have room to negotiate should anyone try to claim this, or, if anyone dodgy comes along. Read the email I sent as this will tell you how to deal with this sort of thing. Genuine people rarely claim a reward. As this is the SS postcode, suggest you poster as much as you can at truck stops, cafes, shopping malls, supermarkets, boxing clubs, schools can have little flyers for the kids. Our mission is to make Tinks extremely famous! Speak to the police, they may not issue a crime number as no proof of theft, but they need to know because a number of females have been taken around this area according to the dog warden. So they need to record this, maybe an incident number. If they should investigate any others that we know are thefts, then they could happen to see Tinks, so need to be aware. I am not saying Tinks has been stolen, but it is always a possibility so we need to cover all our bases. If you and/or owners have done everything in the emails, then that should rule out some things, so what are we left with? Need to work on those. Also try the scenting, as per emails - do this further out in the fields in case she's out there and she can follow this scent back towards home. She must know the immediate locality, so you'd need to do it a mile or so away to lead her back in. The best thing is POSTER!!!!
