Full plate...

I was a little busy this a.m. so only had time to sporadically check the yard for a black and white flash. By the time I had to leave I hadn't seen him, but that didn't necessarily mean he hadn't been there. He's quick most days and one has to keep an eye out for him.

After returning from delivering his breakfast, I discovered I brought home two additional "friends." Unfortunately they are not cute and can wreak havoc if allowed to stay. I'm talking about ticks...just in case you didn't know. They love me! If I can get them while walking through a cleared yard, imagine what our Teddy has on him. Just one more reason to try to capture him and bring him to safety and health!

When I returned home later this morning I checked his area...plate still covered and filled with food. Teddy has not returned yet today. It has been damp, rainy, and dreary but no T-storms, so I haven't a clue as to why he didn't come back today. Since he returned so consistently for so long, and these past two weeks he's missed some days here, I truly think he must be getting food some where else, although he is still very thin. I really don't have much of a chance in getting him, if I can't use the food as bait, because nothing else gets his attention. So if there is any one out there who may be feeding him, please let me know so we can combine our efforts!

The only way I will ever capture him is by food and he has to be relying on my food. Of course, who knows, since living on the mountain perhaps he's also become a connoisseur of fresh berries. As always I can only imagine...

Keep praying for his safe capture...thank you!
