But……
\nMy sister has a mouse in her dishwasher. They don’t know how he got there, or if he is capable of getting outside. When they open the dishwasher, he runs to the corner and disappears. There was some discussion of the port where the water exits, and the fact that it must share a communal pipe with the kitchen sink. Other than that, they have no clue how he comes and goes. They don’t know if he’s trying to get out, or if he’s trying to make it his new home. Dear Husband suggested putting one of the cats in the machine, and turning it on.
\nElegante Mother fell this morning. Nothing seems to be hurt other than her pride. I think we may have to get her one of those devices that allows her to call for help when we are sleeping. To assuage her angst at having fallen, Dear Husband bought chocolate covered \u00e9clairs at the bakery. I assumed (you know what they say about assuming things…) that the \u00e9clairs were for dessert. As I walked past Elegante Mother, checking to see if she was all right, she was reading the newspaper. She dipped it when I spoke to her and I realized she couldn’t respond due to the mouthful of \u00e9clair she was eating! AND…..as I passed through the kitchen, I realized that there was not one, but TWO of the \u00e9clairs missing. You KNOW who ate the other! (And, it wasn’t me!)
\nEd, our fifteen year old cat, doesn’t care for cold weather any more, so he was delighted when the temperatures rose into the forties this week. We still have fog, and the snow is melting. It seems rather wet and drippy out, but to Ed, it’s the perfect day to go hunting. He runs out the door about thirty feet and plops his butt on the edge of the sidewalk, and takes up this petrified stance facing the garage wall and a hole in the ground. He seems to think a chipmunk is going to come out of that hole sooner or later, and he plans to be ready to greet him. Do you think it’s too late for me to explain the concept of hibernation to Ed??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
