Badgers' son Rascal (now living with us) escaped one day several years back and was gone for a few months. They did every thing they could but no word. Then on a drive home one day they saw him being walked by some woman with her other two dogs. It was Rascal. She had kept him. She had even changed his tags. Don't give up but don't destroy your health. To be strong you have to take of YOU right now, even if it's the last thing on your mind.
