Dude! Dude! We have a kitten update! I nearly forgot to tell you!
We put posters up in a couple of the shops, and yesterday I was going to walk round the closest developments putting mini posters through the letterboxes but the weather was so horrible it was as much as I could do to let the chickens out and feed them!
Last night Jessica and I were snuggling up for a cuddle when I received a phone call from a lady saying “I think I may have your kitten,” would you believe it took a second or two for it to sink in what she was talking about!
The story goes like this. She was in the shop getting a few groceries, stood and looked at my poster for a minute and actually read all the way through it. She then went home, unpacked her groceries, turned round to let her LARGE GERMAN SHEPHERD out and in trots Flossie expecting her tea. The lady looked at her and recognised her immediately from my description. Flossie was put in a pet carrier and trundled round to the shop again to get my number.
We agreed to meet at the shop and Jessica re-dressed quick as you like and we must have been there in under 2 minutes. As soon as Jessica saw Flossie there were floods of tears and a vice like grip holding her to her chest. Then *I* started to have tears, then the woman found it hard to swallow, then Jessica totally broke down! We gave the woman a bottle of wine for being so clever as to actually read the poster and after more hugs we took Flossie home to her brothers who looked on totally disinterested and actually hissed at her later on.
Jessica demanded Flossie was to be allowed to sleep with her and after a good drink and bite to eat Flossie settled down on Jessica’s bed and didn’t stir all night.
The woman lives in a completely different development – not one I would have walked round, and although as the crow flies it is as close as the other developments, it isn’t one we are ever near to. She must have walked quite far to get there.
Good job we had her seen to huh?
(Did you take in the part about her walking past the LARGE GERMAN SHEPHERD???? Good job he wasn’t hungry! There would only have been a burp and a collar left after that meal!)
