Thank goodness Spaghetti has been found by Natalie upon her swift return from the UK. Apparently everyone is safe and sound.

A special thanks to all those who participated in Spagetti's safe return.

As many of you may know, a team of Australians have been in the UK for the World Agility Championships.  One of the members of the team, Natalie Kirkwood, is still holidaying in the UK.  Today I heard the news that her young Bearded Collie Spaghetti is missing. 

He has been missing since Saturday.  If you live in the Camira (Brisbane)area (or anywhere in that general direction) and you have seen a loose (brown) bearded collie any time since Saturday would you please immediately ring Kerry Lovell (07 3814 4928) or Cathy Slot (07 3202 2361 or 24 hour mobile 0448 815 135).

Spaghetti accidentally escaped (all of Nat and David's other dogs are safe).  He does sometimes get spooked so he may not come to you if you call him.... but at this stage we just need a sighting to at least know that he is safe and what area he is in..... then we can try and get people/dogs that he knows to that area to help coax him out.

Nat's home number and mobile number is on his microchip details. To date there have been no sightings.   The area has been combed by foot and by car, there are signs put up in the area, there are ads in the paper and on radio, all the vets have been contacted, the pound, the RSPCA etc but dogs are renowned for finding little/hidey places and/or travelling long distances. Door knocking and speaking to neighbours has so far turned up nothing.

I'm sure all of us would be devastated to have our dog go missing (I've had that myself for a few hours so know exactly how that feels), but it's another entirely different thing to be on the other side of the world while it's happening.  Nat has provided an immense amount of help and assistance to the dog community so if you have any more suggestions or any time to do more door knocking, PLEASE HELP (perhaps coordinate with Kerry so that we expand the search area).
