Well, it finally happened. On the weekends, Lily and Lany stay out of their cage all day. They have various little hidey-holes where they sleep. I was in and out a lot on Saturday but kept noticing that I hadn't seen Lily. I didn't think about it too much because I hadn't been in the house the whole time. About 3:00, I finally decided that I would go look for her to make sure she was okay. I have a very active imagination and by this time decided that she was ill or dead somewhere. Here's what happened. They both like to sleep under the dresser in the guest room. In order to get them out, I have to take out the bottom drawers. I did this on Friday night. About a half hour after I got up on Saturday, I went back there and realized that I had not put the drawer back in the previous night. I could tell that someone had been playing in there...there was an electric blanket and the controls and they had definitely been moved around. Anyway, I put the drawer back up. Need I say more???? This was about 7a.m. so when I started the great search at 3p.m., the first place I went was to pull out the bottom drawers to see if Lily was sleeping under there. Imagine my surprise when a head popped up out of the drawer!!! Boy did I feel like a bad mama. None the worse for wear (other than being hungry and thirsty), she jumped out, turned around, and proceeded to get back into the drawer! She had also been very thoughtful by moving the controls out of the way before she pooped while in captivity. When I saw everything was okay, I thought it was really funny but I did learn that if I had listened to my instincts a little more I might have found her several hours earlier. Do you think this might be why she and Lany didn't give me a mother's day gift??? [Posted in FML issue 1933]
