Dear Everyone, I have had such an outpouring of responses to my post, for Epimetheus. All of them encouraging and wonderful. My prayer request is for my missing boy, not for myself...All i want is for him to be safe, full and warm, that is my greatest fear. I worked till 9 p.m. last night, got very little sleep, but had to open the store @ 6:30 this morning, however, i was out early this morning canvassing the neighborhood looking for my Eppy. I will NOT give up looking for him ever...if it takes me a month of Sundays, or the rest of my life to find him, be it that i have to grow old and cross the bridge to find him waiting there for me, myself. I have finally gotten some good posters with photos printed and copied, and will get more as i get along with this. Contacted the police dept, my postal carrier has taken a poster, (she told me that they found a chihuahua (4pounder), so there is always hope. Will be approaching the grade schools with picture poster of Eppy too. I have not had much rest, nor nourishment...sleep is not welcomed, nor food appetizing, wondering if my little boy is hungry, cold or confused...hope for the best and fear the worst...i am trying to be positive about this, and the more i go along the more determined i become to find him...i will keep everyone posted, and if you are not interested, you can just skim down the list. This is a great place for release, compassion, and knowing that you are not alone in this world sometimes. This will be a very humbling for me, i guess it was a lesson a long time coming, and i will get to my knees to find my boy. I would do it for anyone of my ferrets... Gratefully, lovingly, and sincerely Donna and her furry children of free roamers/poopers :-) P.S. Like i need more stress right now, it apprears that our furnace is trying to give up the ghost too...thank goodness the weather has been mild, as we have no heat. That just means the ferrets will sleep in bed with me, not beside my side of the bed ? [Posted in FML issue 3612]
