Heartbreaking Monday

Mommy was up early to transport a local client.  Mommy started off with the normal routines...letting the dogs out, unlocking the cat house/scooping poo out of the liter box.  However, Garfield was not in the cat house. He had escaped and Mommy knew he probably freaked out when he couldn't get back inside.  Garfield and Sundae have never spent a night outside of the cat house.  Mommy instantly started yelling and looking everywhere for Garfield.  Mommy started up the car and turned it off, the car always scares Garfield and Sundae.  Mommy had to leave to pick up my client, so I only had a little bit of time to search for Garfield. Well, Mommy was half way to my client's home, when I heard a thump.  Mommy hadn't seen any animals, however, I did see a cat dodging cars behind me in my review mirror.  Mommy initially thought a cat had run into the side of Mommy's car, but then it clicked....oh no, could that have been Garfield?  

The cat looked much bigger, but was the same coloring as Garfield.  Mommy immediately turned around and drove back in search of the cat.  Mommy drove down the road yelling out the window (with my blinkers on) "GARFIELD!"  There was not a cat in sight.  Mommy then hurried to get my client and drop her off at her appointment.  Mommy then returned home to get the two of you, and we conducted a search and rescue effort.  Mommy still not certain that it was Garfield, posted an alert on FB, and continued to look everywhere for Garfield.  Unfortunately, none of our searches resulted in recovering Garfield.  Mommy called the Humane Society, but no Garfield :(

Mommy had a couple of errands to complete with my client this afternoon, and then Mommy returned home with the two of you.  You both wanted to stay with Grandmoo, but Mommy wanted to get home to continue our search.  We returned home where you two played.  Mommy made lasagna, and Sean Franky came over to play with you both.  Grandpa dropped by later in the evening, bringing you, Bodhi, a bag of presents.  Grandpa couldn't make it to your birthday party, he had to work :(  Grandpa bought you two Hello Kitty dolls, and a cool Hello Kitty night light.  You and Buddha loved the night light!  We spent the remainder of the evening outside, hoping that Garfield would find his way home.  By 9:30 p.m. we finally went inside where Mommy gave you both a bath.  Bodhi, you agreed to a bath since you were so dirty.  You are loving showers with Mommy, so Mommy had to really persuade you to take a bath this evening.  Grandpa sat in the bathroom visiting with us while you two played in the bath (our bathroom is huge) hee/hee!  

It was off to dreamland for the two of you.  Mommy attempted to comfort Sundae, who was an absolute wreck that her brother was missing...it truly broke Mommy's heart.  Mommy has never been a cat person, but they certainly have changed Mommy.  I love and care for them just as I do for Allie and Arlo :)
