Ah, well-- a little embarrassment on behalf of our beloved furry friends is worth it, as long as they're safe. I'm glad you've been able to retain Dexter-- he sounds like a fleet-footed fellow!<br /><br />Serena- Yes, when I think about how much trauma there was, but it was all on MY part-- he was perfectly safe the whole time--I just shake my head.<br /><br />Meleah- Hopefully, I won't have to deal with this kind of adventure again. I know I've learned some lessons.Jenn Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899242535971792424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-67515286124583967052012-03-27T12:54:10.872-07:002012-03-27T12:54:10.872-07:00Oh my god, Jenn!

What a relief! <br /><br />Love the curio too!

The poor little kitty got so scared he hid and fell asleep.

I think that my blood pressure possibly went up too. You know I've been through this with Dexter about 100 times and it is really tense for awhile. I too, get the treat bag out and have even taken a can opener outside and tried to open cans as loudly as possible. I'm sure that my neighbors think that I'm insane at times. It's true, he has never gone farther than the back or side yard, but he plays games with us. He lets us get right up to him and then he runs under the deck. He acts really weird when he's out in the wild. He makes new sounds and does weird contortions with his body, that I find to be primitive and slightly disgusting. He becomes another cat that I don't know and as soon as he gets captured and is back in the house, he is my buddy Dexter again. But, the fear definitely rises up in me and the adrenaline is pumping. Our son David will help us look for hours in the dark or rain, if need be. We have no lights in the back yard, so we are walking around blindly. Like I said, we are the neighborhood oddities at times! Glad Harry was a coward and hid behind the pillow, better get his ears checked! Rattling treats! How could he miss that?!?Andreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-67996276661831902672012-03-23T07:08:01.114-07:002012-03-23T07:08:01.114-07:00Kathy- Yeah, I learned a real lesson about that. ...Kathy- Yeah, I learned a real lesson about that. A while back, he did get out onto the porch once, while I was right there and I shrieked so loudly I scared him flat onto the porch. So it wasn't out of the realm of possibility that he would have gone outside. But hopefully this won't happen again because I'm wiser now.<br /><br />The mac and cheese was actually okay, but not as good as the way I make it myself, They had me layer the cheese in two places rather than mix it all the way through along with the cream sauce, and I didn't feel it was cheesy enough. The fried green tomatoes, however, were absolutely delicious. I would make them again in a heartbeat.Jenn Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899242535971792424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-89988701122548130632012-03-23T07:02:33.025-07:002012-03-23T07:02:33.025-07:00Oh, they scare us, don't they? The best advice...Oh, they scare us, don't they? The best advice anyone ever gave me for finding a "lost" cat is to look VERY close to home. Like under-a-pillow-close. Especially for cats who don't go outside. They tend to never go very far.<br /><br />So now that everyone's safe and sound, how was the mac and cheese?<br /><br />p.s. Love the curio!Junk Drawer Kathyhttp://www.junkdrawerblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-4027829981667136142012-03-23T07:01:58.147-07:002012-03-23T07:01:58.147-07:00Jaffer- We actually considered that too, at first....Jaffer- We actually considered that too, at first. Only, he'd seemed to hate the sound of it so much--it really was loud-- we figured he probably wouldn't have gone toward it.<br /><br />Orlando- Thank you! Yes, it's pretty full. There's still a little room, and some things I could swap out, but I'd been holding onto this stuff for a while, hoping for a place for it. So I'm pretty pleased it has a home.Jenn Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899242535971792424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-61772481022496912362012-03-23T06:48:03.217-07:002012-03-23T06:48:03.217-07:00I was with you all the way through your account an...I was with you all the way through your account and feel genuinely relieved it's ended happily.<br /><br />The cabinet looks good, but appears to be full already!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-10034043199864083832012-03-23T06:32:58.351-07:002012-03-23T06:32:58.351-07:00Lovely story Jenn !
