: Well, no news. He hasn't yet reappeared grazing in the yard like I hope he will. This morning I went to the shelter. They'd had no reports of torts. I left a poster. Then I went to the library. I'm thinking that if someone found him and was thinking about keeping him they might go there for information. I left a poster. I cruised the neighborhood to check the posters. Two had been removed. I replaced them and put up another half-dozen or so. I spent some time peering hopefully under the deck. I spoke to the neighbors again. All the posters do say "$REWARD$" so I hope this may be a motivator for the kids around (or whoever else.)
Tomorrow I'll hit the pet stores and (you guessed it) leave some posters.
The most frustrating part is, barring something REALLY strange, wherever he is, he's in all likelihood within a radius of a few hundred feet, MAX. And I can't find him! He could be TEN FEET from where I'm sitting RIGHT NOW and I can't find him! This really stinks. I want him back, singing happily, the way he does when he's having a soak. This really stinks.
