Kitties! It was the worst of times, it was the most awful of times. Donkey became losted!
I know mom told me she heard the clarion call of my announcement in the small hours... to which I recall she muttered "Alright baby". And went back to sleep thinking I would be right up. Perhaps I was. It was 45 degrees out last night, heat not set very high in the house and mom had a quilt pulled up and everything was under it but her head. (I checked multiple times).
This morning at breakfast, Donkey was
nowhere to be seen. We called and called him, but there was no answer. Mousies, all of them, Fat Pink, Floppy, White, and Red Heart Mousie's each stated they'd not seen him at ALL. They had heard a small bray in the night- but that was all.
We searched each room carefully and though mom's knees don't like bending getting up off the floor, she did me the honor of looking under the furniture, behind doors, and places I have put Donkey before. Or where he put himself.
We wrung paws and hands and tonight before making supper, she tried once more. She looked UNDER the bed though Donkey never ventured there before. Kitties, thank the goodness we were depending upon,
Donkey was found AT LAST. Mom tossed him to me and I caught him to myself, bit him, and then got up and stomped the stuffing outta him. He didn't mind at all. He was happy too.
