Sniffer dog Staff?

Rupes and I went for a mega walk today in a mega field. I came home to find that my ***** phone had fallen out of my pocket and is (I hope) somewhere in the field. I am going back there now to comb the area with Rupes. Do you think there is any hope at all that he will track it with his nose? I am praying yes as I have everything on my mobile, not to mention cost of replacing (aaargh, don't want to think about it...)

Would your Staff make a good sniffer dog/detective?

How annoying, I hope you find it quickly. Are you able to take another mobile with you to ring it so you could locate it ??

I'm sure Rocky is part Bloodhound, he is always sniffing something

I doubt he'd find it unless you've been working on it with him. Treats? Yes. A phone? Unlikely. Loki's favourite things are treats and sniffing, so I did that with him, he sniffs out the field to find treats I've dropped, very fun. Not sure how to go about introducing non-food items though. I hope you find it but I'd imagine a phone doesn't have a particularly strong, nor interesting, smell for him to search it out.

mmm unless it was food i'd say sash would be totally useless ,hope you find your phone thou

Aww I hope you find it, it's such an imposition when we lose these things, I don't think rupees will be of any help though

Yes, and it's not very interesting to chew either.

We didn't find it.

Have you informed your service provider that it is lost ?

I'm about to - I just don't to admit that everything I've got on there is now gone.

I feel so gutted for you, I know how I would feel if I lost mine too,

Oh balls, loosing a phone is very very annoying!

Anywhere you can put posters up for a reward, no questions asked, I have seen a few round here Xx

It would be great if mobiles had a tracking devise inside them

I suggest u use someone's phone to call it. Maybe you'll be able to hear it. Good luck!

Chances are that someone has picked it up. As above, try calling it from another phone. If you have another mobile that you can use to call it whilst searching the field, IF it's still there and not switched off, then you may find it - depends on how many other people use the field.

Good luck ><

A friend texted my phone late last night with her number and please call me note. Amazingly someone had Picked up the phone about a minute before as they had seen it glinting in the sun and called my friend immediately. I now have my phone back and am downloading all my photographs.

However - this is like a terrible scene in a bad sitcom - I slipped on a fox hole this morning and turns out I have fractured my ankle. Leg in cast and crutches . Can't walk properly so am putting a plan in action for rupert. Feels like a surreal dream.

Is it a iPhone? if so before you get it blocked try using the icloud.com website, that will show you exactly where it is, providing you have the feature turned on.

Great news My phone met with an accident travelling down ysterdsy in a cup of water , died immediately, came back to life for a few minutes today and then died again , I'm fearing the worst

Phew! I have found a couple of phones and always reunited them

Sorry to hear about the ankle love, they can take a time to heal!

I'm so glad you have reunited with your phone, Rupert's mummy - there are some honest people in the world! And so sorry to hear about your ankle , it must be sooooo painful. I hope that you can find someone to exercise Rupert whilst you heal, which I hope will take as short a time as possible.

And Dave, I'm sorry to hear you drowned your phone. I gave my son a mobile for his birthday and that evening he tried to teach it to swim in a pint of beer with exactly the same result - death.

Great news about the phone but really sorry for you ankle, get better soon ><

Fab news about your phone, not so good about your ankle, hope it heals quickly

Glad you found your phone, nothing worse that loosing it! Hope your ankle gets better soon

So pleased you have reunited with your phone, great to know there are still some genuine people out there

Not so pleased to hear about your ankle, I put mine over the other day and sprained it, soooo painful I can sympathise. Get an ice pack on it if you can, do you have any anti inflammitory tablets at home ? Plenty of rest with the foot up, big hugs your way >< ><
