Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I've been laying low and getting ready for ArtFest next week and preparing for Hope and Kari's visit to Portland in April. I know this is going to such a fun time...these two sweet girls are going to be staying with me and we'll be exploring all the fun shopping in Portland as well as squeezing in a few quick trips to do some sightseeing.
However, even with all this wonderful stuff happening, I am feeling some of the most profound sadness I've ever experienced in my life. My sweet Atticus boy is missing. He's been missing since Wednesday and I have to tell you, my heart is broken. I'm truly struggling with this.
If you're the praying kind, would you please say a little prayer for Atticus that he's safe somewhere and that he isn't suffering and no harm has come to him.
Thank you.
ETA: Atticus is home!!!! Glen found him! All is right with my world!!!
Thank you all for your prayers, kind words and hugs!!!
Sending prayers, hugs, and hopeful thoughts that he'll be home soon!

I will say a prayer for you. Christmas eve my cat went missing. When we couldn't find him by one in the morning I was bawling. I found him a few hours later. He was tree'd by a fox. I hope you find your sweet kitty.

Hi my sweet friends...thank you so much for the prayers and love!!! Glen (my hero!!!) met a family who found him and thought he looked lost. They kept him indoors while they put an ad on Craigslist (we didn't think to check that!) and were going to put up "found" cat signs in the neighborhood. The irony is while Glen was out searching for Atti, I was home making "lost" cat signs. Oh I'm SOOOOO happy!!! Big hugs to you!!!

I am so happy he is home! He was just at some "spring is here!" party.
I've been there and cried my heart out!
Hug you!

Michelle,
I'm so happy for you! I was going to tell you the story about my big guy Tummy that got out and was gone for 6 weeks! He came back safely to us and it was one of the best days of my life. Have a wonderful visit with Hope and Kari!

Well, being the emotional kind of person I am, my heart just plummeted then flew through the ceiling within about one minute. I am so VERY glad you had found Atticus.
I am so glad you, Kari and Hope have that special time planned. And Art Fest coming, too! I am headed out to Phoenix on Tuesday and will get to see Maija and Trish. I am really looking forward to some serious sunshine!
Big hugs of JOY! Atticus is home!!!
