Lost Ben Nevis area, Romany, Border Collie 24th March

Post by Julie on Sat May 16, 2009 4:12 pm

Lost - Ben Nevis - Tuesday 24th March approx 10 am

Help is urgently needed to locate a Border Collie lost on Ben Nevis.
Romany is an 11 yr old, tri coloured Border Collie bitch. She is hard of hearing and suffers from epilepsy, requiring a daily dose of Epiphen (30mg) which has kept her fits at bay for 3 years.

We had agreed to take Romany, and her sister Niji (Rainbow), in because their lady owner had died and her husband was unable to keep them due to work commitments.
Prior to coming to us, the husband wished to scatter his wife's ashes on Ben Nevis, a spot frequented and loved by the couple and dogs, while she was alive. He parked at the visitors centre and took the dogs, off lead, up the tourist path, past Achintree (farm).
Romany disappeared into the mists close to a point where the public footpath from Nevis River joins the tourist path up the mountain, below Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe.
She was last seen heading uphill towards the rocks below the Loch, possibly having scented a deer.. The weather was pretty bad, with mist and snow and in spite of immediate searches in adverse conditions, she has not yet been found.
If anyone lives in or is visiting the area, please look out for Romany and contact us if she is sighted.
Romany is wearing a red fabric collar with a disc with her owners details on.

omg.. do hope she is found soon... her owners must be worried sick..
Ben Nevis can be dangerous near the top as the path suddenly has a steep drop that happens very quickly... so i pray that she will be alright
