My 1.5 yr old girl went AWOL today. She sticks around the walls, rarely gets off. Today she was nowhere to be found. Panic by 4...she always comes when called as she is usually in the yard. Frantic by 9 thinking the worst and running through my head all the steps I had to take.
1. Knock on neighbours doors
2. Walk the neighbourhood calling her
3. Looking in the oddest places as she has to be close by
4. Getting on the computer to do the flyer
5. If not home by a.m. send te flyers to all vets
6. Call municipality to see if they have been sweeping this area and do they have her.
7. Contact FF to report her lost :(
8. Stand on roof of villa late tonight and call and listen for a reply
9. Walk the neighbourhood again when all is quiet.
10. Think think of where she could be.
I went out again at 11. My husband walked the neighbourhood, no luck. I got into my P.J.'s and did one more quiet call out the gate, just in case she was at the feeding station. Lo and behold I hear this little panicky meow!!!! I call again, and another panicky Meow meow!!! pinpoint the direction and fly across the street in my P.J.s like a crazy person. Thank god our street light has been out for a few days lol. Race over to the electrical building where the strays sometimes go and there she is. She somehow got in but did not know exctly how to get out!!!...I race back to the villa, take the stairs 2 at a time, fly into the bedroom where my husband is trying to sleep as he has a late night flight, change out of my P.J.s, slam the door to his ****** off voice lol...race outside, across the street with a little flash light....and I hear a meow, not panicky, she figured out how to get out I guess because she had watched my hand show her the 1st time. I picked up the little weasle, washed her off and told her she was canned for a good week!!!
The end of my saga with a girl who will not be chained to the yard. Hope luck is with her!! or, hope she has learned her lesson.
