I renewed my ad in the Ulster Times. I am thinking of letting the Daily Freeman go - it is too expensive to keep an ad in it for a long time. No postcards yet - I hope to get them early next week.

I am not sure how but i have managed to lose a few days. I probably skipped a day posted but forgot and just added one to the last date.

I don't have much to post right now. I am still waiting for the postcards to be ready to send. I really hope that gives me a couple of hits. I have my fingers crossed that he is still in the area. He was here for a few months so I don't know why he would move on.

The postcards are printed and look very nice. They are getting the addresses printed now and will be ready to go by the end of the week. I have my fingers crossed that this will get me a good sighting.

It snowed last night - not too much but enough for a couple of inches. So far all of the calls I have gotten have not panned out. I have two more to investigate - all of them 11 miles away or more. I don't have good feelings about them but I need to check them out anyway - just to be sure.

I have retired all my cameras. I was only getting raccoons and it is supposed to snow tomorrow. I figured it would be better to bring them all in and then see where there are tracks tomorrow after the snow is gone.

I have gotten a few phone calls but none of them panned out. One is 11 miles from here - I am not sure that is viable. The lady only saw a black cat with 4 white paws. So far from here it could very well be a local cat she just never saw before. I am reluctant to dismiss it outright but I am not sure how to confirm it.

Last night my neighbor came over and though Roy was in her yard. It turned out to be Leo. That was pretty disappointing. I know the longer Roy is out there the less chance I have of getting him back.

Today I got a call from someone in Saugerties - which is about 30 miles away. It does seem too far, but if Roy was picked up it is not totally out of the possibility. I need to send the lady a picture of Roy so she can see if it looks like him.

I got the pictures from the camera - looks like I am feeding raccoons. I think I am going to try across the street next.

One of the plates was floating in a small puddle so I retired that camera for now. I got some whited out animals (two at once so I am wondering what they were) so I will put the camera back there once there is solid ground again. The other camera had a whited out animal too - it looks like the light bounced off of snow. There shouldn't be any left now so it should be okay tonight.

The order for the postcards has been placed. Now I just need info on bulk mailing. I really do hope this works.
