Home safe, sound and snoozing!
Many thanks to all for your kind words, suggestions and most of all, prayers.
Someone asked how he got loose. We were visiting relatives in the area in which we used to live. I left Buddy there with my in-laws to "babysit" for the day because I had to go to an event in Boston. Buddy knows them well and they have taken care of him for me when I've gone on vacation. As they told it to me, they opened the door to bring him out to the backyard, he put his ears down, and bolted. Well, to make a long story short, we found him at our old house. The area in which he was seen on Sunday was the next town over, he somehow, backtracked from there and then found his way to our old house (we've since moved out of state). We'd been checking our old street over and over again since he was missing. He just recently showed up. We notified so many people that a woman on the next street over that knew about him, saw him and called right away.
We're all home now, exhausted! but reunited.
A happy ending after all
