Sorry, I haven't been able to update until now! After six hours of searching we finally found him yesterday at around 2:15 PM. We got a couple of leads that he was headed toward Route 9 about a half hour before we were in the area. We ran calling his name down a very busy road toward route 9. This road is lined with houses and woods and we heard him barking in the woods although we were unable to locate him. We continued to search for about another hour and posted flyers, rang doorbells, asking around stores, etc. We were on our way back to her house to get more flyers when my friend's sister came home from work for lunch. We drove around calling his name and putting flyers in mailboxes. Finally we saw a golden butt running down the very busy road I mentioned before. We called his name but Rex just kept running and he ran up someone's driveway off into the woods. We jumped out of the car and chased after him through the woods until we couldn't see him anymore. Then Kathleen got a call from her sister that she caught him so we went back to the car.

Sure enough, there he was! Panting like crazy and starving. We took him home and gave him a nice long bath, checked him for ticks, etc. He was fine. But he was a little weak, so he's going to the Vet's soon. He then slept for hours. So he's home, and safe, with a new lock to keep him INSIDE the fence.
