Happy New year Auburn lovers ###

Well Auburn lovers my heart still aches for my baby girl - she was everything you wouldn't expect from a street dog, loving, gentle a dream to walk - house trained coz not once did she abuse her home well actually if you say it then that was her. Having experienced my gorgeous Auburn I've found it almost impossible to reach out and rehome another as my heart still aches so much for her. I've tried to send that love trying to find stolen dogs coz we all know they are our babies. I'm thinking maybe it's time to close this site - I love you Auburn lovers but perhaps I should call this a day ###

This was posted by Tom Deans family, he is the human brother of missing Lola. He has just achieved 2 gold medals in swimming. .....

First of all thank you so much for your amazing comments about Tom Dean , they mean so much and will to him. Some people have commented that they feel a huge opportunity was lost re Lola when Tom was being interviewed, I hope I can explain a few things that might help. First of all Tom is as devastated as all of us but as I've mentioned before we have tried to reassure him that everything is being done, with the help of Lola's army, to find her. I think if you have seen any of the family interviews you will get an idea of the state of mind you have to be in to do so well in your sport. He has totally devoted many years to get to this point, missing out on the "normal" teenage years but he had a goal. We could not possibly expect him to talk about Lola particularly if he still had races to go, his mind and the minds of all the other athletes is totally focused on getting the job done. He is also only allowed to talk about certain things on any broadcast platform, following a script if you like. He is not free to talk about things other than the races while he's there. Back home it's a different matter. Also, DogsnHomes, an amazing charity who we adopted another dog from some time ago have done a brilliant post linking in Tom and Lola, with pictures of Tom cuddling Lola. I hope that makes sense. Thanking all of you amazing people as always. Lola's family.

Do you close your eyes at night and wonder where you are?
Are you very,very close to us or are you very far?

If you knew that you were close to home we know you wouldn't hide
but we've been searching everywhere, searching far and wide.

We've shared your photo everywhere, of your adorable little face,
but still beside the fire is a great big Lola space.

What else can we do Lols? We're struggling to find a way
and your doggie siblings miss you as we do, every day.

If love could build a path,
to help you find your way
you'd soon be home for cuddles
and bad dreams would go away.

YOUR FAMILY

Dear supporters and friends… Please do not read anything into our relative silence on here of late. We haven’t given up hope, we haven’t stopped trying every possible way to find Lola and bring her home, and we think about it all day and every day.

Now that all the trees and bushes have died down we have walked over the land far and wide and searched in every hedge grow and ditch and piece of the undergrowth again, just in case we missed anything the first time round. Glad to say, we haven’t found anything.
We are convinced Lola is alive and well and somebody knows where she is or who has her. We are going to do a fresh series of posters and get them out again, and will ask our friends and supporters here to do the same. You never know we might reach a new person or prompt a new memory- or even guilt trip somebody into surrendering our beautiful Lola

Happy and safe 2021 everyone xx

So, a Christmas reunion wasn't to be. We don't just hold on to a celebration time that might be the time she comes home, we've held on every day since she was taken. I am genuinely so very happy when I see reunited posts but I now want it to be Lola's turn.

Darling Auburn learned that Christmas meant treats, cuddles and being loved, I miss my girl so so so much and still ache to have this sweet baby with me ###

Why oh why isn't Auburn still here !!

24/06/2020

My garden fence falling down, although I've invited people to come to quote, times and days they stated came and went but no show. I would love to invite another 4 legged friend into my life but can't because my garden isn't secure. Feeling pretty fed up as I can't win !!

Well guys and gals heres a little something to take your minds off Covid 19 - enjoy !!

Fifty Shades of Grey-(a husband's point of view)

The missus bought a paperback,
down Shepton Mallet way,
I had a look inside her bag,..T'was " Fifty Shades of Grey".
Well I just left her to it,
And at ten I went to bed.
An hour later she appeared;
The sight filled me with dread....
In her left she held a rope;
And in her right a whip!
She threw them down upon the floor,
And then began to strip.

Well fifty years or so ago;
I might have had a peek;
But Mabel hasn't weathered well;
She's eighty four next week!!!
Watching Mabel bump and grind;
Could not have been much grimmer.
And things then went from bad to worse;
She toppled off her zimmer!
She struggled back upon her feet;
A couple minutes later;
She put her teeth back in and said
I am a dominater!!

Now if you knew our Mabel
You'd see just why I spluttered,
I'd spent two months in traction
For the last complaint I'd uttered.
She stood there n**e and naked
Bent forward just a bit
I went to hold her, sensual like
And stood on her left tit!
Mabel screamed, her teeth shot out;
My god what had I done!?
She moaned and groaned, then shouted out:
"Step on the other one"!!

Well readers, I can't tell no more;
About what occurred that day.
Suffice to say my jet black hair,
Turned fifty shades of grey.

I take no credit for this - but I wanted to share it with you....

They said the world was closed today
So I went to have a look,
I found it with the shutters down
And the phone was off the hook.
So I stood there for a little while
But no one was around,
Then silence came and startled me
With the most alarming sound.
I asked him where the others were,
And why the streets were bare,
He whispered ‘Life had ran away
While death was playing there’
‘Oh no’ I said ‘It can’t be true
For life is not afraid’
‘But no one ever goes’ he said
‘Where death has ever played.’
I understood and walked away
As Hope was standing there
With Courage in her afterglow
And the sunlight in her hair.
She said ‘Go home to those you love
This is no place to be,
For if we walk these streets today
Then no one shall be free’.
She threw her light to lead the way
And showed me where to go,
The very road that life had gone
Where the future flowers grow.
Then death showed me another way
But I didn’t want to look,
So I stumbled home in time for tea
And I read another book.
It was called The World is Closed Today
And the streets we shouldn’t roam,
The first line said ‘Just please be safe’
And the ending - ‘Stay at Home’ stay safe.
###💖💙🇨🇮

Please Auburn lovers stay safe during these stressful days xx

I would like to say a huge thankyou to Chrissie Singer for sending some special rocks. These are definite keepers - one for my grandson and one for me.
These will be treasured.

28/01/2020

Anyone who has loved their pet misses them, I miss my gorgeous girl so so much, am I so wrong to wish I could see her rocks moving? It was just an idea to keep her going - perhaps I should give up !!

08/01/2020

So where have all the Auburn rocks gone?

How can we keep Auburn going? Today i sent a message to someone who played a huge part in her life, she makes and leaves rocks around Norfolk (Norfolk rocks) i asked if she would make some and leave all around Mundesley which is where our little lady roamed. I desperately miss my little girl and invite any other rock painters to join and please please please keep Auburn around Mundesley ###

Today i collected Auburns ashes that will be buried with me at some point in the future. Thankyou to everyone for caring and posting such lovely remarks- i tried to make a video of her photos but wasnt able to. Please remember the beautiful dog that you saw in this page, if she was a stick of rock she had gentle, loving, and caring thru every minute bit of her. God bless Auburn and god bless all of you ###

I fostered Auburn before she went to live with her lovely owner. The first time we spoke she was always more interested in the needs of Auburn and if she would be the right lady to help her, would she make Auburn happy. They were always so right for each other From day 1 Auburns needs and little ways always came first. They had less time together than I had thought they would, but life was perfect for Auburn she was given the time to do everything . Auburn was given love understanding and time. All I can say is Thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for opening your heart to a rescue dog. Thank you for all the time love and understanding you gave her. Thank you for letting us all stay a part of Auburns journey with you. Thank you for being her friend and letting her understand people could be good and kind. Thank you for being you.
I am so sorry for your loss, I hope you can find some comfort in the fact you had given her a wonderful life, she went warm and dry with a full tummy with no nasty illness.
Thank you for sharing her with us all. Much love to you ###
