How my dog made it to the complete cattie-corner quadrant of the city may forever remain a mystery -- but there's no doubt, he's there. In the past three days, we've received calls of two confirmed sighting for "Ace the Greyt", both in the Madison Grove neighborhood directly across from Norris Middle School.

The last sighting was about a week ago on Raincheck street. The kind woman who spotted him said he looked tired and thirsty (and collarless -- not good), but when she tried to coax him to her with a bowl of water he was hesitant. She left the bowl out for him, but he wasn't seen after that. Last night I spoke with her and showed her pictures which she confirmed were identical to my boy. She even mentioned his signature scarring from his old days as a running dog. 

As we're getting warmer, so is the weather -- which makes it scary to think that my guy might be out there in 90 degree weather dying of thirst and probably at this time hunger.

Please, please, please if you've seen him let me know. If not, continue to keep your eyes peeled!!!!
