The Vanishing

There has been a slight interruption to our normal service. One of the farm dogs has gone missing.

He hasn't been seen since eleven o'clock on Sunday morning. He has the run of the farm and local footpaths but wears a collar that is supposed to deter him from straying out onto the road.

It is quite common for him to disappear for an hour or so as he has quite a bit of land to run around in but he always comes back and he knows his way home.

So we were out looking for him as it was getting dark yesterday and this morning Mighty Mouse and I will be doing some house to house enquiries. Obviously his owners are doing everything that they can to find him too.

His owner lost a new puppy just a couple of weeks ago in a horrible car accident and she can't be losing another one so soon. That would not be fair, so we have just got to find him.

Quite often if something happens on a Sunday it doesn't get reported till the Monday  morning and hopefully we will track him down quickly today. (he is microchipped)

We have good stuff to blog. One of my pet sticks has been baffling the boffins and I have found a truly beautiful Spindle tree. I know that we have only just done Spindle but this one still has dark green leaves and it is set off by a golden Oak just behind it. Also we still need to get the Honey Mushroom's bootlaces and other stuff. First we have to find Buddy.

Normal service will resume shortly.

12:30 Update: Buddy has been found safe and well. Fizz and I went out and searched in the mud for him. He wasn't  in the mud but we had some fun looking. He had got himself locked in a shed on one of the neighbouring farms. Silly Dog :)
