LOST

Missy

Name:	Missy
Breed & Species:	Labrador Retriever dog
Colour:	Black
Went missing:	12 years ago (25 August 2013 at around 5:00 AMhrs)
Location:	SN7 7QE
Health:	Healthy
Age:	20 years old
Sex:	Female
Collar:	No
Microchipped:	Not sure
Markings:	She usually wears a collar so her coat will rough around her neck. She has a grey muzzle and is partially sighted. Missy has rub marks on her elbows where she lays down.
Circumstances:	We returned from 10 days holiday in the early hours of Sunday 25th, Missy was in her bed, she had a fuss then we went to bed. We often leave the outer door open for her for air and she needs to go to the toilet frequently, however when we got up in the morning she wasn't there. We live on a disused farm at the end of Baulking green so she could have wandered into fields towards Stanford in the Vale, Shellingford or Uffington where we used to live. A member of family has been looking after her but had said her health was deteriorating and she had been starting to wander around the farm after her tea but always came back. I think she had even looking for us. I noticed she looked quite ridged in her body so se could be retaining fluid. She has been a family pet for many years and we all desperately want her safe return.
Other info:	Her health has been deteriorating and she needs a lot of water per day. she is also stiff in her back legs and would be able to jump into a car unaided.
