Lynton said:glad she's back safe and well.....
Mum's cat disappeared the other day, so she rang to tell me the sad news.
2 days later he returned... i assume shut in garage or shed.

Is it wrong that i picture yv's 'moderator hat' being a bit like this

ok, its a fair cop, though I took the bells off, they were annoying the dogs OK, if I have to spell it out, even if it is only for the benefit of everyone else as I am pretty sure you do get it Tom, you are the only person that viewed this thread as a 'discussion', instead of what it actually was - someone asking for help to find a lost pet...followed by an announcement that the dog was found and thanks for the help. No discussion invited, and certainly no need to be quite so, shall we say 'overly blunt' with your opinions about the matter, it was uncalled for and is the reason you got called on it. If you want to call that trolling, feel free, I am not but I am saying it wasn't needed and cast a sour note over what had become an otherwise happy thread. This is happening more and more on TP [generally, not just aimed at you] and is what we are working to get reduce. I hope that is clear enough, I am not going to argue the point further, just ask that you simply think about what you say, where you say it and most importantly, how you say it.
The dog did not run off or wander 1/2 a mile up the road
she is old and fat and bimbles around the grounds
Had I not run round and posted signs up every where would I have got her back
it was a third party that rang me and told me her neighbour new where my dog was she had seen the missing posters I put up
She may well have followed someone walking up the lane
this person may well have not realised where she lived, but the nearest house to me is 1/2 mile
this person may well have picked her up and thought I'll have this and after about half a mile decided to dump it as she was to heavy lol
I stand by my title as at the time and knowing my dog it seemed correct
she has never wandered off
It may well have all been innocent and the dog was put in the garden of the first house this person came across
She is back safe and sound and that is all that matters

I wasn't the first to comment on the dogs weight...that was somebody in post #8...I came in at post # 18 where a 'discussion' had already formed....you mods read too much into how folk interact on forums. My point still stands on the fact the the OP said that the dog had been 'dog napped' when clearly it hadn't. Why have do you have a problem with that? It should be a problem with the fact the OP's initial assumption was wildly incorrect.
I have already posted that it is good to see the dog home safe, so you can count out that I am being heartless or anti 'pet'.
I am allowed my view (or am I?), especially when it I am being singled out.
