Miracles happen. I looked out the window this AM and saw Forrest. By the time I got out, Trinks' piercing scream chased him away. Hubby and I scoured the yard, front and back, he took a drive around to neighborhood, and still nothing. By this time I was starting to doubt what I saw. I let Stormy out and she was acting weird around the shed. I got down, flat on my stomach, on the cold, wet piles of leaves and looked under the shed. Nothing. I went back inside and did a few things.
Then I returned to the back yard and saw Forrest's head peeking around the back of the shed. I didn't approach him, but squatted and called him. He made a beeline to me. I pet him and then followed him in the house. Kitty greeted him with hissing, and then smacked him across the face with her nails. She really had a good time without him. Of course this whole time I've been crying because I never believed we'd see him again. And hubby and the kids are out, so no one can make sure I'm not dreaming. Out came the camera. Doesn't he look GREAT????

Wow! I'm really happy to hear that you found him. I hope that brings cheer to your December slump.
I still am in shock that he returned. What ever happened to him has made him skittish and uncertain. I have to keep tracking him down to make sure he's still in the house. He's been hiding in the basement for the bulk of the afternoon!
I think I am offically out of my funk. We are decorating 3 trees this evening, so I should be full of the Christmas spirit. I found menorah candles, so I am filled with the Hanukkah spirit as well. Bring on the latkes.
He probably found a family that was feeding him and stayed for a while.
Glad he's back.
I don't think he's been eating that much because he looks a lot thinner. But he made it home before starving!!
Thanks for the awesome post the other day. I couldn't bring myself to comment without getting too terribly depressed.
