Thank you, you guys. I have been looking for him for 2 hours, or it seems like it if it's not. I am covered with sweat and mud and I need a beer.
He was in the basement when the dryer vent guy came, and I brought him up and put him outside so he wouldn't hide ...
...in the laundry room. It's a finished basement and there's a bathroom down there and the only wall that's not finished is between the laundry room and the bathroom and he is known to hide down there, so I keep the laundry room closed with the evil vacuum cleaner against the laundry room door.
He must have run in when the dry guy was here, and then the dryer guy started his machine. I checked down there three times calling him and opening up cans of food and shaking treats and got down on my hands and knees to look down there (where you can see the foundation of the house).
I had two neighbors coming the area and looking everywhere outside. I was just bringing one of my neighbors downstairs to the basement to see the unfinished wall and the tight place where he hides, and out he walks without a care in the world !!!
My heart just got a lot of exercise.
Thank you all so much for sending those vines! I knew you could help me xxxooooxxxxx.
