>That was last night. This morning while I had them out of their condo, >the two errant fuzzies spent their whole time running from door to door >to check to see if they could escape. Do I have a mutiny on my hands? >My sweet fuzzies! I had such a fun time with Houdini when he was alive. I wanted him to be able to run outside, so we trained him to a harness. Then we attached one of those little plastic toy trucks so we could locate him on the lawn. It was very light and he'd run all over with it. When we needed to find him we'd look in the bushes for the truck. Houdi would be curled up by it fast asleep. Since we live in Maryland he didn't go out long in the winter and those little paws only went out in the snow once. We still have his truck. If you are not used to being accountable for an animal outside it helps to set a timer to remind you to "save" your pet. Houdini had water and food set up by the steps so he could return to them as he needed. Also fuzzies should not be left out in direct sunlight for any long periods of time. Thank you for all of the get-well cards for my hubby. His surgery went very well. They had to reconstruct his spine. We'd bring the fuzzies into his room each night and he'd have to move his head down to look at them--instant therapy! Calvin would demand petting so Tim would have to move his left hand (the one with the weakness)to pet him. God bless little Calvin!
