Short version - am in the UK, dogs (we have 2) at home with husband in very rural west of Ireland. 1 dog went out at 11.30 last night for usual wee etc - hasn't come back - husband has been up all night looking, and again all morning, checked with neighbours, phoned dog warden and guards... no sign.
Just need to post somewhere 'cos I'm going slowly mad here - we don't have kids, just dogs, and they mean the world to me. Hope is the worst thing - imagining all sorts of scenarios.
Please please don't post anything negative here - I don't think I could deal with it. Just wanted some empathy/sympathy, and to be doing something I have never felt more useless in my life. Husband is in bits too - she's his special dog (the other one is mine).
We're surrounded by fields (no sheep) so the search is less than easy - all roads checked, all ditches, sheds etc. It was apparently a foul night last night when she went out, husband only saw 2 cars on our tiny lane all night, so unlikely to have been a vehicle incident - I just don't know what to do with myself.
