Getting more concerned....

It is now 11:15 a.m. here and Teddy's breakfast dish is still full. He obviously hasn't returned at this point. My only hope is that before nightfall (I need to remove the food before dark so as not to FEED wild critters), he returns. If not I will try again tomorrow and Friday (Correction-I mean Thursday). If he doesn't return Friday (Correction-Thursday) a.m., I would like to try and get a search party together. If any one is local and could spare a few hours on Thursday(possibly) please email me. I don't know if we'll find him, but feel we need to try. Last time he didn't show was the week before Easter. My husband and I hiked the mountain for over two hours on Good Friday, only seeing paw prints in the mud. We traveled the mountain north, and now know he has been spotted on the southern direction of the mountain, so perhaps we should head that way. I hope it doesn't come to that, but would like to know if any one can help if it does-thanks!
