Yesterday we were getting ready to drive down to the Bay Area as Rod had doctors appointments. Just after noon I said to Rod let's get Pumpkin and Miss Mosby and put them in their carriers to take them out to Dr. Burnham's who will board them for the weekend then we'll come back and get ready to go. Mosby was in the pantry, of course, so we knew where she was but this began the search for Pumpkin who was nowhere in sight. Rod checked the garage, the out buildings, the chicken coop (no chickens in residence but the cats like to go in there.), the pump shed, the pool yard, under all the vehicles, front porch and back porch, and every room in the house. He searched everywhere and couldn't find him so he came back inside and helped me pack and we got everything ready to leave.
Now we're ready to go and we start searching for Pumpkin again. Repeat the above with me walking around everywhere calling at the top of my voice over and over again : Pumpkin, Pumpkin! Pumpkin, Pumpkin! As I round the fence into the front yard Rod, who is outside too, waves me over to the garage apron and points to a chair that I have a chair cover on and lo and behold what do I see? Sticking out from under the chair cover is a long fluffy orange tail. Rod lifts up the chair and there's Pumpkin hiding 'cause he knows something is up!
Linda at Dr. Burnham's was happy to see Pumpkin.
