DD2 sat up in my bed this morning and said "mum.... shhhhh.... a dogs barking in the paddock...... oh yay it's jack"
Sadly there was no dog barking and out little man is not back.

Nearly had a good old cry about it last night, will drop of the little flyers today on our way out and hopefully someone has seen him, chances are though most people would have reported himn to the council had they seen him so i have no idea.

We check all the rabbit & wombat holes with our big girl yesterday, she obviously couldn't smell him or she would have been digging up a storm (if he was stuck), she's still very quiet and very rarely coming out of her kennel or curling up in a ball.
I've moved her kennel and food bowls away from where they always were so she's not sniffing him so much and set up her own little area, the girls have been very attentive with her and DD1 is upset that Cass doesn't have a friend.
The cat seems to be steering clear so i think they all know something is going on.

Big hugs for you and your girls (furbaby included). I hope he comes home to you soon.

Don't give up ZF - someone must have seen him.
Is there much livestock in your area?

Called both councils again today and NOTHING, it's been a week now
Neither of them allow public access to their pound so we can't even just go and check if he's been missed, they tell me as he is micro-chipped then he WILL be returned if they find him.

One of them mentioned that some farmers do shoot stray dogs but they normaly contact the council afterwards to dispose of them, in thay case i am assuming we would still be contacted.
Girls are still quite upset and i'm concreting up the hole he got out of today (we left it open in case he came back in.

It's been freezing here (- temps) so if he was stuck somewhere not eating there would be no chance him surviving.

Thanks everyone for your help & suggestions, we have pretty much resigned ourselves to the fact he is not coming home... Cassie is missing him something shocking, poor big girl.
FIL is maybe going away at the end of the month so he said he would take her for a holiday with him and his dog (which he does quite often).

Oh ZF.
