I know you all are probably thinking I really am a drama queen because this much crap just doesn't happen to a person but I need your prayers. My baby Gus got out last night as I was bringing in groceries. By the time I got all the bags out of my hands Maggie was out the door too. I found Maggie within the hour, she doesn't go too far and she comes when she's called. Gus is another story. He came back once around 3:30 this morning and by the time I got downstairs and out the door he was booking it for the back of the complex. I chased him because I'm an IDIOT and he of course ran. Stayed outside looking for an hour or so and still didn't find him. Around 5:30 I heard scratching at the front door, looked out, saw him, and by the time I was at the door he was gone again. I haven't slept at all and I've been bawling for almost 12 hours straight. I left a bowl of food at the front and back door hoping he'll get hungry but he hasn't come back. I'm so afraid for him in this neighborhood. Busy streets and lots of shady folks. If someone finds him, he's so friendly they'll probably just take him in and he needs special food or he can die. He has FLUTD that produces struvite crystals in his urine and he needs to eat this food in order to break those up or he can become blocked and die. I'm printing out flyers right now and trying to call the Humane Society around here, but I don't think anything's open on a Sunday. My heart is in my throat. I don't know what I'll do without him if he doesn't come home. Is there anything else I can be doing today that anyone can think of? I'm going out to look around the neighborhood and put flyers up now, and hopefully that will help. Maybe he'll just be waiting at the door when I come back. I am so afraid for him. Please keep him in your thoughts.
