A heartbreaking read, and something as a dog owner we all fear, more and more each day it seems. I can’t believe it’s 2 years. I truly hope that your beautiful dogs are found safe and returned to you. Take care xxx

From Georgie:
28th December 2020..
Two whole years since Ruby and Beetle went missing, 730 days.
Ruby and Beetle vanished completely whilst out in the countryside on the 28th December 2018, disappeared without trace or sight. Many of you have been with me from the beginning. I sat here and wrote a daily blog of how I was feeling, what we were doing to try and find them, the frustration we encountered, the money you all helped me raise to offer a substantial reward, the emails we all sent to media, the National newspapers we managed to get our story in, being interviewed and highlighted on Rip off Britain about the failure of microchips to pet owners. As our story unfolded which was over 12 months of utter hell, the highs and lows, the things we uncovered, the places my husband was taken to and things he witnessed, the emotional rollercoaster, the hoax phonecalls, the mental abuse and torture of dog theft took its toll, its life changing, I have learnt valuable lessons throughout this journey.
We have a massive 17 thousand group members here in Missing - Ruby and Beetle, sitting at the kitchen table yesterday, Ed read an article out to me that dog theft is still on the rise it is up 250% on last year, every day dogs are stolen, the owners then enter into the darkest days that only someone who has had their beloved pets taken will understand, the emptiness, feeling of helplessness, the sleepless nights, a severe overwhelming shock.
I have previously wrote how the situation engulfs you, takes up your every living moment, you get sucked into a hole and feel yourself drowning in what is your own misery. I hit rock bottom, the friends who stuck by me could only watch this happen and offer their support, they knew I wasn’t coping but they also couldn’t do anything to help, as much as I was suffering I’m sure they were too.
Last New Years Eve, I wrote a post on here thanking everyone for their support and help, without turning my back on Ruby and Beetle I felt the time was right to start living my life once again, put my children first, friends and family had taken a back seat on this journey and it wasn’t fair to them. I had given 12 solid months to this campaign and trying to find my two little dogs. Whilst I will never give up hope of being reunited with one or both of them, unfortunately it now lies to fate. Not a day goes past that I don’t think about them, Ed called another dog Ruby last night, the children mocked him, they haven’t disappeared from our lives, but time is a healer and life does go on...
Please share this story for others living this torture to understand it does get better..
Thankyou to each and everyone of you who continue to look and support this campaign.
(This was the last photo taken of them both) 😢

From Georgie via MISSING - RUBY & BEETLE FB group:
"I have received a photo and location of 2 Border Terriers that resemble Ruby and Beetle and were seen very much on their own yesterday morning around Sharperton. (See maps to follow.)
The lady was travelling to Holystone and at the Sharperton junction in the field on the right hand side between the Sharperton Junction and the Bridge, she saw the 2 little dogs.
I would like to either rule these 2 out of our enquiries or look into this sighting further.
They most probably belong to a local but as they do resemble R&B in colouring and coats etc.. I need to rule them out. Could any group members in this area please share this post and tag friends or Border Terrier owners to help rule out this line of enquiry. I would appreciate your help very much. They must belong to someone? Thankyou"

Tweet about the new web site has been seen by more than a MILLION people this morning. Lots of new visitors to this Doglost page - please share to new people www.findrubyandbeetle.com

2019-10-06 08:47 .

Ruby & Beetle now have their own web site - it pulls together all the photos, newspaper articles, support on Facebook & Twitter, videos, you can listen to Georgie’s voice describing what happened when they went missing. Please share this web site to new places, the aim is to reach people who are not on social media and may not have seen them before - some people use the internet but don’t have Facebook & Twitter for eg. There’s a YouTube channel where Georgie has put a huge number of photos , there are also pages which show just Ruby and just Beetle - this is to cover the possibility that they may have been separated, which of course, we all hope hasn’t happened but every possibility needs to be covered. There’s also links to this Doglost page for posters to be printed & a selection of other posters to share too. Please share to someone new today. Please help us find these girls - their family are broken x www.findrubyandbeetle.com

New information on FB

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
The information that I’m about to tell you has played on my conscience since I received it on Sunday. You may understand my Monday Mornings post after you read what I’m about to tell you...
A very proactive group member was filling her car with fuel on Sunday in Cumbria, her vehicle like many others has the Missing Ruby and Beetle posters on the windows. A man approached her looking at the posters and asked her if these were the 2 Border Terriers that the travelling community was talking about, she replied with maybe, he told her to bombard Wales with leaflets and posters, she asked him if he knew something and he turned as he walked off and told her to BOMBARD Wales with the leaflets..
We still don’t have a huge following in Wales, I have sent out some leaflets to a few who asked after Monday’s gentle post but I think this Man may know something, he didn’t need to approach this lady or even talk about Ruby and Beetle but he did...
I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place for what to do for the best, I just want to find my little dogs and without this groups help I can’t...
we need their profile spread throughout the Wales and the country..
£5000 REWARD JUST TO HAND THEM BACK!!
No repercussions, just tell us you found them...

Missing 33 Days... WE NEED TO FIND THEM !!
I have been up since 6.30am and spent nearly over an hour answering messages, sending emails and shouting at kids to get ready for school, and I forgot I hadn’t wrote this mornings update...
I spent yesterday talking with magazines about Ruby and Beetle having been stolen and placing ads in classifieds. 🤞
Reaching out to those who may not be on Social Media is the reason behind this.
I also answered lots of calls from people having spotted two Border Terriers running or with people, describing them to me etc..
Ruby & Beetle were the same size , no difference in height, equally matched, very similar. My good friends struggled to tell them apart..
Thank you and again my PLEA AND REQUEST...
KEEP SHARING POSTERS... KEEP IT MOVING..
Thankyou.. 👌👍

Looking for advice from others..?

Just read the article mentioned below, can Beetle & Ruby be reported stolen, given what the local lady said about the guy making a fuss of her dogs and making her feel uncomfortable.
