Hi, everyone.

And welcome back, Thio.

My channel.

Thank you so much for bearing with me and giving me some time over.

The last thing is two weeks, but I did have one video go out.

I actually had another video filmed at Have another two videos filmed, one of which will still becoming the other one.

I am re filming now for you.

Where do I start?

So the last few weeks have been a little bit of a blur.

I'm not gonna lie.

On Thursday morning two weeks ago to the day we realized that links hadn't come home on dhe.

He's been missing ever since I filmed this video before I went on holiday.

I did actually manage to block a little bit whilst I was on holiday, so that will be coming as well.

But I wanted to bring you guys up to speed on Dhe.

Explain where we're at on end the last two weeks to you and where were kind of going with things.

So links left the house at 9 30 on Wednesday on dhe.

We have not seen him since.

We have checked all about CCTV.

We have flyers in many of the town's on dhe.

I will also be going out on flier ing today, but this summer we're putting them through people's doors with a lot more information about links.

He hasn't been seen.

There are no confirmed sightings on dhe.

It's been incredibly hard, Joe.

I'm actually because I feel like I'm gonna cry now.

But I have been so good.

But I think when you sit down and you talk about it, it's a lot harder.

So I mean, my God, the last video filmed I was an absolute mess throughout that, and I feel that and I think I was sitting quite a negative headspace about.

We've been in a bit of it on a bit of a journey with it and trying to understand and work out what happened to links.

We found ourselves jumping to conclusions on dhe, just letting off wars and fears and things like that just run away with ourselves.

And I don't know, some days I have days when I'm really positive that you know he's gonna come home on Dhe.

Then there are other days when I have these visions in my head that are probably the worst thing about it.

I think the visions that I have a way could be or what could have happened to him are the things that really, really hurt the most.

Andi are the things that cause me the biggest amount of stress on dhe heartache.

We obviously miss him a lot.

I can't even explain to you the the pain that we have felt and that we have been through is a couple these last two weeks.

It's just been it's been held and it hit us more than we could ever have imagined on.

I think it's obviously highlighted.

Tow us, our relationship with Cats, which I think, you know.

I think it's quite evident the way Ali and I are all with them.

But it's been the toughest thing I think I've ever been through on DDE.

There's a lot of what we went through that I'm very glad that none of you store quite honestly.

But yeah, it's we've sort of turned a page with their on DDE.

I don't think we'll ever stop searching for links on Dhe.

The hardest is like obviously when I go on my runs or when we just drive out of our house just constantly searching on looking on and keeping an eye out for him is torturing in itself.

I can't imagine ever stopping doing that.

So that's that's pretty much on the agenda for the rest of my life.

Now we did everything that you're supposed to do in a situation like this.

We followed all of the guys on DL of the information from hanging off loads which still hang outside of our house.

Now on we change them regularly so that our tent is that Thio emptying our Hoover outside, said he could find his way home.

Everything we didn't it was the little trade because they don't have little train because they were allowed in the garden.

So that was where they would go and do their business.

So his son should already be fully in our garden.

We didn't try to you hire a detective or the pet detective.

He didn't seem very interested in taking our case.

In fact, he didn't want to get back to our e mails either, which was really heartbreaking because we are now passed the time really where we can do that.

So maybe if he had told her straight I'm obviously quite upset about that as well, because if he had been honest with us that he didn't want to take our case, we could have potentially trying to at least find someone else.

Our family and our friends have been amazing.

We've obviously been searching and they've helped us in Our family have the four for us.

They lifted us up.

We also succeeded in probably making him the most famous cat in Britain, just a huge thank you to everyone in the industry.

But everyone that is also, you know, an audience of online creators because it's not just the people that had millions of followers that shared links.

It's also the people that had 100 followers or 1000 followers.

Every single person that shared links helped us get his face out there, giving us the most probable chance of finding him on dhe.

Both Ali and myself are incredibly grateful on dhe.

We were just It was almost like a I don't have to say like a a silver lining in what was such a dark time for us, because I'm not sure I found it feels the same, but I've never really felt like I'm part off the YouTube online created community, but the support that we received from the very moment that we posted about thinks being missing was more than then neither of us could ever hopeful on.

So we're just so grateful for the people that continue to share and continue to look for him.

We are not giving up, even if sometimes we do feel like we want Thio and it's too upsetting.

Thio, keep looking.

We don't and we're so grateful for the people that continue to share him continue to keep a lookout, sending us pictures of cats that they think could have been linked.

I mean, some of them, honestly, I had to, like, double take.

I'm like, Oh my God, is that links?

Unfortunately, none of them have been linked, but we are still remaining hopeful because we we read all of the messages and the stories of cats that disappeared for a lifetime than their return on.

So that gives us hope.

It I think it has really changed our mind set from what waas a very negative mindset.

We're still you know, we still have our ideas of what could have happened to him We hope that that's not the case.

Then we heard that he has just gone on an adventure.

But yeah, we're just We're trying to remain positive.

It also opens up a whole new line of attack for people forming.

Obviously, in previous videos, I've spoken about on the negativity and online hatred.

It's a strange old thing to experience when you are like rock bottom, because I have had a bit of a tough time.

Sometimes when I've struggled with online negativity, never have I not been able.

Thio do my job.

I've always been able to do my job.

However, from the moment that links went missing, I genuinely didn't think it would ever be a time that I would be able to sit with you guys on Dhe speak to you again.

I felt like my joy had been stolen on Dhe.

I still feel like that.

I'm slowly pushing myself to do the things that give me joy again.

But I you know, I didn't want to come home.

And if you've been around here for a while, you know how much I love my house.

But coming home was torturously walking through the door and realizing that he still wasn't home.

Waas opinion.

I hop into us on dhe.

It's Yeah, it's just It's been a very interesting experience.

I've learned a lot about myself.

I also learned a lot about my husband.

I've learned that I am able to depend on him in a way that I never imagined, because whilst he was trying to hold himself up, he was also holding me up because there was absolutely no way that I could hold myself up.

I just I cried.

I spent days, days on the sofa, just crying on DDE.

It was horrible, absolutely horrible.

And it said, It's horrible.

We're still living this nightmare.

You have to remember that this is still our reality.

I'm glad that I'm filming this video again because I was just Yeah, it was a shadow of my former self.

When I filmed this before so that I was gonna load it on Monday on Dhe.

I couldn't load it, so I'm quietly thankful for that.

I'm able to sit here and just speak to you in a little bit of a level, but we just want to say both Allie and I, I drew the short straw on this.

I had filmed this video, but we just wanted to say how thankful we are that everyone's help the people that stopped us in the street to say that they were looking and just the people that continue to help us.

Look, I also want to say that for every week.

So every Wednesday I will be posting his poster on my social media yet because I obviously have that platform.

I don't wantto overkill it and just turn my platform into a find links page.

But I also have to keep searching on DSO.

I've said that every week I will repost the fact that he is missing until we find out what happened to him or until we just accept that maybe he isn't going to come home.

Part of me does think that something is stopping us.

I I'm a strong believer in fate.

I sometimes trust that if I'm not finding something out, maybe it's because I'm not supposed to find out on.

It was very bizarre how the detective person just you know, there was no reason why you don't want to take our case all.

He didn't give us a reason And so perhaps I'm not supposed to find out what happened to links for my own insanity on dhe head space.

So, yes.

At the moment, Ali and I are snatching for the reason behind this.

We understand there must be a reason.

There must be a reason why we are going through this and why we're experiencing it.

And perhaps links was sent to us to teach us lessons on DDE.

Wait.

Yeah, we're just trying to make sense of the whole thing on DDE.

Try and and continue on in our lives, but with links in our hearts, always because it's not like we want to get over it or move on from it.

That's not what's supposed to happen with this journey.

We have to live with it and cope with it until he either comes home.

Well, we find out what happened.

So yeah, I will obviously put all of the information about links on dhe.

I will insert like pictures and things like that on screen so that you can see what you look like.

But all of his identifying features as well I'll put in the description box down below.

If you are in the vicinity.

Or even if you just think that you see a cat is a lynx Bengal without color.

Check his tail because at the end of links his tail, he had a little kink.

It was almost like the end of his tail went like like that.

And so he had, like, a little bump.

That's the biggest identifying feature off him.

I would say, Just run your hand up the tail on Dhe.

You would be able t o feel that, but obviously he does have a cross.

I that his course.

I was only usually there when he's tired.

That was why I didn't really makes such a big deal out.

Vic.

Sometimes he's not cross eyed.

It's only when he's like tired.

He also This is my favorite one on his bone, where his bold work he had like an upside down black heart.

Hello, little buck heart on his bum.

But I would say that the tail is the best place to go to look for him.

He obviously has rosettes and no spots, but then had stripes around his arms as well.

But like I said, I will be popping pictures of length on screen on all of this information in the description books down below.

I also want to say that my job continues on dhe.

I gave myself time.

Do you want to come back and do this on Dhe?

I feel able to do this now.

Just because I'm doing the content that I once did before doesn't mean that behind the scenes, we won't be doing.

Like I said, we will be continuing our search.

It just won't necessarily be documented on here because we've used up half form and we will continue to use our platforms in a way that feels comfortable to us.

That doesn't hinder what we do.

But if I receive another message that says, Oh, obviously you don't care that your cat is dead I receive another one of those messages.

It's just the most ridiculous thing, and it's just such a stupid mentality.

Tohave life goes on.

I can do anything, you know, stop the fact that life continues.

The world still turns.

It doesn't mean that the sorrow that is inside of me, isn't it feeling like it's going to consume me every moment?

So it might appear like everything is hunky dorey but that is that's me keeping on keeping on basically.

So if you could kindly try not to kick me, what's I am just trying to keep on keeping on?

That would be great.

I think that that is pretty much all I have to say because our life is trying to find links right now.

Yes, life generally will continue, but my life update is devoted to Ling's right now on Dhe.

I am going to go help my husband put together two new flyers so that we can go and distribute those where we live.

If you have any information about links, please do get in contact by info at lydia lee smolin dot com Please try not to send it to me in messages because they get lost and I would hate to miss anything.

So if you have any valuable information about links, please, please, please just email it to us.
