Oh, I know exactly how you feel! That has happened to me several times with Asher. Does he have a favorite toy (one that makes noise so that he can hear it) that you can take out with you? Have you tried food too? That is what I do when Asher gets outside...walk around calling his name and shaking his fishing pole toy that has a bell on it. I usually leave him some food outside as well, just in case I can't find him. Luckily I've been able to find him each time, but it's a scary, helpless feeling. And of course, it always seems to happen when it is dark out. He even got out once last winter when it was extremely cold and snowy, and of course dark. Maybe you should go outside every 15-30 minutes and call for him. That might help. I will keep you both in my thoughts tonight and hope for his safe return home very quickly!!!

Thank you Kristen -


I haven't had him long enough for him to have a favorite toy yet, isn't that just awful.

That's ok. Sometimes it takes them a while to find a favorite toy. Does he have any toys that he played with that you could use? Do you have a garage? You could leave it slightly open, just enough for him to get in, and some food in there for him. Otherwise I would just call for him every once in a while and hopefully he'll make his way back home! Please keep us updated!
