BOO IS HOME!!!!!!!!

OMG! We got a call last night from our friend Laura Stanbro.  She had spotted Boo in the neighborhood that he went missing. (Far far away from our home.)  Boo would not come to her and ran.  By the time we got there, it was almost dark and no sign of him yet we continued to call out his name.  One last drive-by on the street he seemed to be seen. We stopped and got out of the car. My son Mitchell spotted a raccoon trap with something in it.......it was BOO!!!!! I had gone in the other direction and when Mitchell hollered that he found him, I started screaming....so much so the neighbors came out of their houses.
The Brock family had spotted Boo several times during the last week with no success of catching him. (We did not know he had been spotted) Anyway, they constantly talked to Laura and made the suggestion yesterday evening to bait the raccoon trap (no harm trap)....nothing to lose....so a can of yummy sardines was the lure.  Within 2 hours Boo took the bait.
I screamed and cried...well....we all did!
I look awful from all the crying but wanted to share the pics. Boo doesn't look anything like his pic after 1.5 weeks on the run.

I want to thank you all for the support, comments on my blog ,your thoughts and most of all...the prayers.

(PS...Boo's microchip never came into play but folks.....get your furry babies microchipped.)

Mitchell and Bonnie, Junior Brock, Me and Boo,Mrs. Brock, Mr. Brock  Much thanks to the Brocks and the thought of using their raccoon trap!

Boo, a few weeks before going missing

Our sweet, dear Boo...

....went missing while under the care of a friend who was watching our doggies while we went to the beach this past week.  We have tried everything to find him...humane society, facebook, craigslist, contacting all vets and rescues.  We saturated the area he went missing (which was very far away from our home) with flyers in neighborhoods, sheriffs office, fire department, and the mailman and attaching flyers to mailboxes.  We have offered a $500 reward.  He's not worth that much but he is loved that much.  I haven't been able to work on cards.  We have spent our days driving and driving and driving the area in search of him.  He has a sister, Bonnie, who is upset and whines many times during the day.

yes, he has a microchip but the area he was lost in is a bit impoverished and I don't see anyone taking him to a vet or the humane society.  I'm hoping the $500 reward will be incentive for them to be looking for him 

Some little happy pics...

My friend Faith at Daffodil Cards blogspot loves her agapanthus flowers too.  This is the first year they have bloomed so nicely since being planted last year.  They are still not at full bloom yet (some are still in bud form) but wanted to share...needed something happy to look at right now.

stand about 4 feet high and each bloom is about 10 inches in diameter

I planted more on another hill.  I try to add a few the past two years.  They are hard to find and are a little expensive.
