FLUFFY IS MISSING / HUBBY'S BIRTHDAY

SATURDAY
4-29-2017

Last night when we went to bed, Fluffy did not come kiss Ben goodnight.

He was missing when we went to bed and did not come drag his fluffy tail across our faces. I got up and called for him forever. He is missing.

I went to sleep thinking that he will be jumping on our bed in the morning.

Fluffy was still missing in the morning.

I am scared that a coyote, owl, or hawk got him.

I looked out on the highway this morning, but there were no flattened kitty bodies on the road.

The cats followed me into the woods while I was calling for him.

We searched the house completely.

I came back inside, just devastated.

Made latte for hubby. He made eggs for the dogs and fed them.

I went downstairs to clean up the kitty litter and give them more food.

I am overwhelmed with a guilty feeling because I had the flu for the last 2 days and did not want the cats stepping on me. Everything hurt. So I pushed him off me yesterday afternoon when he wanted to cuddle. I feel awful. That is my last memory of him.

Hubby helped me decipher some billing bookwork.

Then he left to go to the shop. So far his birthday sucks.

I wished him happy birthday this morning. KR did not call him yet, so I had to remind her.

I was not able to give him a cupcake or a present.

Dropped dogs off at Apryl's to get their bathes.

I dropped computer storage off at 765-TECH to have Ty fix them.

I drove home.

I could not find my Jeep keys with the house key on them, so had to crawl thru the Doggy door.

At home, did more laundry. Wilson was CRYING the entire time because he missed Ben & Bud.

I vacuumed upstairs in the loft.

At 3:00, I left to go pick up the dogs.

Got there at 3:45 because of slow traffic. People STOPPING and parking at the Roundabouts instead of driving thru!

Paid for dogs and loaded them into the Dodge. Drove to Post Falls and dropped off Beebo.

Drove home with Bud & Ben.

Picked up the mail.

Bud & Ben were happy to be home.

I hurt all day today. Was very, very tired. Did not get any sleep last night because hubby snored all night. I got up at Midnight to pee and then could not get back to sleep. I worked on bookwork instead. Then went to bed at 4AM and got 2 hours sleep.
