So here's the background. I had a vet appointment at 10.15 am to have me foster kittens 2nd vacs done, and at 10.30 the girls were supposed to be at their saturday club, half a mile down the road. OH was out at his friends helping decorate, what to do? So I decided that Raechel is a mature and responsible enough girl to get her and her sister there by themselves (considering her walking to school distance is 3 times that!). She was told to phone me as she was leaving, and call me when she got there, so no problems. Off I went to the vets with the kitens, and just got there when she called to say they were leaving. Fine! Then 3 mins later I got another call from her, absolute hysteria down the phone
could not make out a word she was saying, she was crying so much. At this point my heart stopped, all sorts of horrors flashing through my mind. I finally got her to calm down enough to gather that Broxi had nipped out the front door as they were leaving. They couldn't find him anywhere
I told her just to go to club as I would be home in 10 mins and would look for him. So I get home, driving slowly down the street in case he's lurking about, no sign! Pulls into my drive, starts checking next doors front gardens, no sign. Went into the house and through into my back garden, open the door and look up the garden. There he is sitting beside the rabbit hutch!! Called his name and he came trotting down right to me
no idea of all the upset he had caused. Little blighter. Then called and told a very relieved Raechel he was home. So I can just imagine the reaction when Raechel gets home, he's going to be scolded most severelly
