We've had two happy endings re lost pets this week. My nephew's ex-girlfriend's mother's (got that?) Jack Russell terrier got lost on Sunday, but was found again on Wednesday. I think it helped that she had posters plastered all over town immediately, from the car wash to Tim Horton AND Dunkin Donuts.

And the kids two doors down lost their black kitty, Muffin, sometime on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. The white one (Snowflake) came home but Muffin didn't. As my dog HATES cats - having been attacked by a pair when he was a puppy - I always know when his "CAT!" alarm goes off, lol. And Muffin likes to torment poor Samson by sauntering right in front of him on our front porch when the dog can't get him from behind the front window glass. Anyway, we'd already looked in the yard, under deck stairs and in the garage but told the kids to look again. Not there but, as it turned out, he'd holed up in the neighbor's double garage - they could hear him mewing to get out. Tears all around as Muffin was carried home, cold and hungry but okay.
