As we hadn't heard from grandma & grandad since they arrived in Spain on the 3rd, we assumed they were OK & were just busy settling in & enjoying their new life. Oh no, quite the reverse...they finally managed to contact us yesterday & gave us the dreadful news that the van with Sammy & Suzy in had apparently been stolen near Barcelona. The van was apparently found later near Benidorm (further down the Spanish coast) with no Sammy & Suzy.
Grandma & grandad have spent every day since Sunday talking to police, animal shelters, getting ads put in local papers & looking for Sammy & Suzy but to no avail. My mum speaks Spanish so she has emailed some shelters who are trying to help.
As you can imagine, grandma & grandad are devastated, and are so worried that Sammy & Suzy have just been dumped somewhere if the thieves were just after the van. I can only hope that someone has taken them in & is looking after them. They must have been stressed enough from the long journey from England without this happening to them. Mum, dad & I have slept so badly worrying about grandma & grandad as well as Sammy & Suzy of course.
Grandma & grandad did all the checks they could to try to make sure the company were reputable, but grandma is now a bit dubious and is wondering if the company are some way involved in their disappearance.
I guess all we can do is keep looking, contacting people who may be able to help & keep fingers & paws firmly crossed that Sammy & Suzy are found safe & well.
I don't feel like doing anything much as I am just so sad & worried. They are only teeny toy poodles & they don't even bark Spanish. Please pray for them.
***UPDATE*** One of the shelters has phoned grandma & grandad to say that a white toy poodle with a collar on has been spotted running around in a village on the coast. It's very scared & no-one has been able to catch it yet. Suzy is a very timid white poodle, so please let it be her & let Sammy be nearby too. Grandma & grandad have already had 2 false alarms today. They have gone to the village to see if it is Suzy & if so hopefully they can catch her so paws crossed we will soon hear some news.

Oh no what awful news! I do hope they find them and please let us know as soon as you hear anything!
Oh Oscar, This story makes me so sad. I am so so hoping that they are able to find both of them. How awful.
Good luck in the hunt! My girlfriends dog ran off and we searched and searched but couldn't find him. Later that night, we got a call from the sheriff five miles north of here to let us know that they had found a tired dirty dog. Sure enough, it was him. I wonder what he was up to?

Oh, that's horrible news!! That's every pet parent's worst nightmare. I'll be praying for Sammy & Suzy. Please keep us updated on the news.
Poodles are very smart doggies. Maybe they'll figure out a way to get to their parents, or at least to stay safe until they are found. At least they have each other.

Oh no! That is horrible! I hope the lovely poodles are found soon and that they will be safe! Loads of licks and wished for speedy poodle return!
