Today I was grateful to have been kept very busy at work all morning.
Gorgeous always comes and goes in the morning. She goes out to do her morning business, then comes in for breakfast. Then she goes out for a stroll round her domain (magpies permitting!), then she comes in and goes up into her bed as we head off out to school and work. If we are ready for off before she has come in, a quick shake of her treat box brings her home double time.
Well...not today! There was no sign of her as we prepared to get out to school. Meggie shook the box until half of Limerick was wondering what the noise was, but to no avail. In the end I decided to drop the kids at school and come home again before heading off again for work!
Still no sign of our errant pussy cat. I shook the treat box till the treats were mush. I shouted and cajoled, clapped and kissed the air. No joy.
So, for the first time ever Gorgeous had to stay out all morning!
Like I say...I've never been so glad to be busy! If I had had time to think, I would have worried my way to lunch-time!
She was, of course, waiting at the door when I came home, and none to pleased at being left out!
I think I'm just about forgiven, but her favour is hard won today, I must say! You'd think that I'd deliberately abandoned her to a fate worse than death!
I'm just glad she's home!!!
Gratefully yours.

You need to realise that there are some things more important than getting the kids to school and going to work!!!
