Paul, who owns the Annandale Pet Spa and who is as heartsick as is Griffy's mom, Gail, over the little guy's disappearance, went walking his own dogs in Ossian Hall Park during the day yesterday. He came accross some surveyors in the park, and spoke to them about Griffy. One of the surveyors said that he had seen a small brown animal moving, earlier that day in the morning, and he initially figured it was something like a rabbit. But when the animal turned around, he saw that it wasn't a rabbit.
Well, at the point when I heard that, I got kind of excited and the rest of Gail's story of Paul's walk in the park was a bit of a blur! But the bottom line is that the surveyor does think it could have been Griffy. And it does make sense that Griffy would be there. Apparently there are cat feeding stations in Ossian Hall Park, so he may have been getting some food that way.
Before we got off the phone, Gail was gathering up something with her scent, a bully stick and a toy, and also kibble and Little Ceasars, to take to put down in the spot where the surveyor saw the animal. She was also due to check the feeding station she had put down Sunday night, at a church.
I'd love it love it love it if she can come back with signs that he's been there. I really want us to be at least one step closer to Griffy!
Gail certainly has a good friend in Paul at the Annandale Pet Spa. It seems that he has generated a sighting by putting himself in the area where there is good reason to believe that Griffy may be hunkering down.
By tonight, the sighting will be plotted on the map.
Update After Noon: Picture taken from Gail's phone when she went to check out the area of the sighting and leave a food & scent station. They lead to a drainage ditch where we believe he may be taking some refuge. I can't tell much from the picture, and I guess you had to be there! But if Gail thinks they look like they could be Griffy's then this is a great development.

Listen up, Griffy. It is time to come home! It is no fun to be wet and cold and alone in the snow. And, you are scaring your mom and you shouldn't do that. I know because I was lost and afraid too. So, when you hear someone calling your name, you come running as fast as you can. I promise no one will yell at you and you will get lots of treats and lovin.' Your friend, Tundie
You tell him, Tundie! You remember those deep snowdrifts, and not so long ago, huh? It's waaaayyyyy better at home than out in the cold stuff, isn't it???
