Obi
I've been feeling a little under the weather for a few days. I haven't been in the mood to blog. I started a couple of posts, but then I didn't follow through.
Anyway, today I finally saw Obi! I got a call a few days ago from a park ranger that some people have been seeing him regularly in the mornings at about 7 am. So the last couple of mornings I have driven the 20-something miles up to the park, and this morning Jason and I saw him. It was just a little more than a glimpse, but it was encouraging. Since he has a routine now, I'm going to buy a large humane trap as soon as I can and set it up where we saw him. I hope that we can catch him. The smart thing to do will be to keep it unset for a few days and let him have the bait. After he gets used to the trap, we can set it. I really don't want to fail. I want my dog back. He's such a sweetheart -- just a very shy disposition. I know that faith and prayers are working, and I appreciate those who have kept Obi in their prayers. We pray every night about our dog, and even though it's been almost 6 months, I feel like we're going to get him back now. And let me tell you -- it will be party-time when we do! :)
