Here it is…. what we believe to be Decymburr’s mugshot:
All signs point to this being Doo Doo. Apparently someone called Animal Control within hours of her going missing. I guess when we called yesterday, they hadn’t processed her yet. But there she was, as clear as day on their website this afternoon. It says she was picked up right on our street, so obviously she didn’t go far. It’s rather funny because I have said all along the key to finding her is her meowing. I bet she escaped and couldn’t get back in and started doing her infamous yowling. She can be LOUD. That’s the only reason I can see someone calling Animal Control. We live on a dirt road in the country and there are animals roaming everywhere. Why would someone call about her and none of the others? It had to be her loud mouth.
I am so thankful. Thankful that she is safe and thankful for all your well wishes. Thank you a million times over.
Now that we know where she is, at 9 am Monday morning we will be at the animal shelter to pick up inmate #86256.

I start work in about 45 minutes. The drive takes me about 20 minutes. I am not even remotely ready… and by that I mean I am still sitting in my PJ’s.
I have been up since 5 something this morning. I didn’t get much sleep at all since of course I was tossing and turning. Every sound made me get up and check to see if Doo Doo (that’s what we call Decymburr) was at the backdoor. Naturally she wasn’t.
The other cats are on meowing overdrive. As if they are trying to drive me insane as they watch me react to every single meow they make.
I am a very strong believer that everything happens for a reason, so things don’t usually devastate me because I try to find the happier, meaningful side of it. In this case, I am getting by knowing that we did have her for SO long. I am so grateful for that. Plus, the door was open and none of the other girls took off. We could have come home to them all being gone. That was have been…. wow… just awful.
Do they have sick days for people trying to find their pets? Can I call in a “lost pet day”? We want to make signs and stuff but that’s rather hard with no one home to do it.
Ugh, I guess I will start getting ready. No make up though, and I am certainly not curling or combing my hair.

I was about to write up my daily bit of yackity yack but my DVR just switched over to House, so this will be super brief.
I am super tired today… how pathetic is that since it’s my day off and once again I have done close to nothing.
Something that did happen today was that we lost our beloved cat Decymburr. Somehow this morning while taking the dogs out, the back door was not closed all the way, and by the time we go back home, she was gone. We were gone for well over 4 hours, so heaven only knows where she might be right now. We did the searching around the house, calling her name with a can of food with us, and everything else we could think of, but still nothing. We have left the back porch door open in hopes that she finds her way back. If not, I can only hope that where ever she is, she is safe.
She’s been with us for over 10 years, and it’s just so awkward not having her here, crawling across my desk, meowing in my face, changing the channel when I have things paused and just being absolutely adorable.
I have some people to tag tomorrow since Angelika tagged me earlier today. I guess I’ll do that in the morning. For now I am off to watch House.
