lost dog in oldham

[sheila2155]

my 14 and a half mongrel bitch went midding 12/02. she is black with a grey face. she is 18 inches high at the shoulder. she walks slowly and limps. she was fat with short legs - looked like a little pot bellied pig! can't walk far and doesn't stay out many minutes. disappeared and hasn't been seen since. tried rescue homes, vets, put notes and picture through nearby letterboxes, ad in local paper etc, etc. anyone reading this who knows anywhere this dog could be, please post. missed badly. dog is called Ziggy and was wearing brown plaited leather collar and tag.

Hi sheila. I've kept checking your earlier posts to see if there had been any news. So you've still not got her back? I'm so sorry. Did the Oldham Chronicle do a piece about her? I don't get one every day x

Hi Sheila, Thank you for your reply onto my post, I so do hope you get some good news soon. I had a beautifull German Shepherd and he died during a castration op in September last year he was just 11 month old. I can feel your pain, just dont know what to say. Hope this turns out all good news in the end. Please keep us all posted. i'll be thinking of you x x

Hiya sheila 2155 I have kept looking on here for news of ziggy. I am so sorry that you still have not found him, what a worry it is for you. Poor ziggy he must be very distressed, I only hope that you find him. I live in Saddleworth a bit away from you but I will keep a look out. You never know he just might have wandered as Alt is not that far away. pussxx

Sheila is there anyway that you could put a picture of ziggy online,
Then hopefully everyone else could help with your search in finding Ziggy, the rspca move dogs all around the country depending on where there is space....just a thought
i so hope you find him soon

I too was wondering just the other day if you managed to find Ziggy.
You must be heartbroken.
If there is any way any of us can help, please let us know. xx
So so sorry.

Oh Sheila, I am so, so sorry Ziggy is still missing. I can't bear to think of what you must be going through. I can do nothing but send my best wishes and thoughts to you. xx

So sorry she still hasn't shown herself, sheila. You must be really tearing your hair out. I feel for you so much.

Have posted a couple of times on her space on DogLost. Hope she is back with you soon.

With love. x

I looked at Ziggy's picture on the lost dog site and I really did shed a tear. Such a dear old girl. This is just so unfair, made worse that Ziggy is so old.

I do hope that someone who may know something has a shred of compassion and contacts Sheila.

hi everybody

Ziggy is on missingpets.com and lostdogs.co.uk.
really praying she'll turn up but i think someones knocked her down and removed her body or someone has taken her in. however, she had started drinking a lot and peeing all over the kitchen floor so I presume someone wouldn't have kept her long.

[rexy0101]

I really hope you find her soon.I pray some kind soul has taken her in not knowing she is badly missed.Never give up hope.If she had been run over i would have thought you would have had a phone call if your number was on her tag,even if it was bad news.
I wish you all the luck in the world

Sheiltry posting on dogpages.org.uk if you haven't already. I hope you have some luck,I'd be going out of my mind if one of mine was lost.

Hi everyone

just had new article in Oldham Advertiser. no news yet I'm afraid. Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi Sheila. I really hope you have some luck and find her. It's awful not knowing what happened. It happened to my auntie's dog some years back. I've been thinking, after reading your description of her ageing problems do you think maybe it's possible she knew that the end was near and went away to slip away quietly somewhere away from her family? It sounds like it was out of character for her to go away otherwise and as it's an instinct for dog and cats, and other animals to do this... maybe that would be an explanation for why she never came back. I really hope you find her though or at least find out what happened. Best wishes...
