Queen Dai$y

 Katie Isabella hurried, all her feet flying to get through the terminal and to the tarmac where Dai$y's sleek jet was waiting.   They were going to Milan again to stock up on fine leather handbags and maybe some matching shoesies.  Both of them had been on their phones for hours planning this trip.  Just talking the night away as they always did.  

Katie ran out onto the tarmac where she could hear that Dai$y's jet had already started and was waiting.  Katie thought to herself  "I can't possibly be late! I hurried out here to the airport well ahead of our planned time." 

Katie drew up breathing a little harder to just below the jet's doorway waiting for the door to open and the jet's stairway to come down to her.  

She took a few moments to go over how she looked before she saw Dai$y.  Katie's coat was gleaming like silk and satin...glowing with the brushies and combings from her Mom.  Both Katie Isabella and her mom always made sure Katie was well tended before they met for their trips.  She looked in her tiny mirror and saw her face so happy and full of anticipation.  Her whiskers gleamed like silken threads just the way Dai$y's always do.  As she stood waiting for the jet's door to open and the steps lowered, she glanced down to see if the little red high heels that she bought the last time they went to France were shining and they were.  

Unexpectedly the jet moved slowly forward.  Katie hurried alongside, calling up to her friend Dai$y.  A large white envelope fluttered down from the Captain's window and then, the window was shut tightly again.  The jet moved a little faster and then faster still until Katie was left standing on the tarmac gazing at the jet plane leaving with Dai$y in it.  

Katie Isabella stood there, her eyes filling with tears at being left standing alone by her dearest friend.  She sank to the tarmac,  folded her paws, and watched the jet completely disappear into the highest part of the sky.  She rose and went to see what was in the envelope.  It was thin, still open, and only a slip of paper inside.  It was from Dai$y who told Katie Isabella that St. Francis had come to call that day, all unexpected, and that he said that he would take her Home in her own jet plane, just for her as he was fond of her.  The paper went on to state that Dai$y had told St. Francis that she and Katie were going shopping, you see.  Could she not wait to go Home another day?  St. Francis was petting Dai$y on his lap the entire time.   She was relaxed and even dozed a little in comfort and love as they flew.  At that request by Dai$y, St. Francis leaned forward and kissed her head and said, "Sweet dear one...we ARE Home.  Look outside." 

Looking out the window Dai$y saw there was the most beautiful bright perfect meadow with little flowers scattered all over it...and her friends and all her relatives who had gone on before were waiting for her, crowding around the door as St. Francis opened it and escorted Dai$y out.  Picking her up and kissing her dear face, he let her down with her friends and family and as he did so, he whispered to her that Katie Isabella would understand and still love her until they met again by and by.
