Griffey Is Home!!

Here he is! I took this pic right before I got on here to report his safe return. Pardon my puffy eye look. That's all his fault. And I'd cried about half my makeup off when we were reunited. But I know you guys just want to see him so I posted it anyway. LOL!

I got a call a couple hours ago from a woman who had him. It sounds like he was only roaming for about 2 or 3 hours Monday morning before he found his way to her house. She has 2 dogs who were out in the yard. Which is undoubtedly why he stopped to visit. She took him in but couldn't get through to the Animal Shelter because of the Columbus Day holiday. She was sick and kind of out of it on Tuesday so she didn't get around to calling again (WTF?!) until this morning. The Shelter directed her to me. He's been hanging out with her, her kids and dogs since Monday morning. She said he's eaten and played and just generally been fine. So while I've been worrying, not eating, not sleeping and exhausting myself searching for him... that little shit had a vacation.

He's home safe and sound. He seems a little out of sorts right now. He was a little jumpy for the first hour that he was home but he's starting to relax. And he's exhausted. I guess all that exploring the neighborhood and playing with kids and dogs just took it right out of him. But he's back in his normal spot doing his normal thing while I'm at the computer as you can see.
Thank you all so much for the support and the prayers. (You were right Amy! St Anthony heard you.) Thanks to all who called and sent e-mails. It truly means so much to me knowing that so many people were worried about the both of us. Because I was truly a wreck. I don't have time to respond to everyone individually so here's a big group {hug}.

Tomorrow morning bright and early I'm flying to NYC with my BFF to celebrate her 40th. In the meantime, I have a million things to do that didn't get done because of the search efforts and very little time to do them. Thank goodness I can now enjoy the trip knowing my boy is home and safe. Oh and the Invisible Fence people are coming next Weds to set us up. I took the day off work next Tues to recover from NYC because I'm exhausted right now. So by then I'll be ready to collapse. But we'll be taking a little trip out that day to get a microchip. I never want to experience the last 2 days again.

Thanks again. We love you guys!
