Maggie is missing ;={

I came home from being down at the railroad and Maggie didn't greet me at the door as usual.

This has happened before and she sometimes comes bolting around the corner as if to say, "I'm sorry I didn't meet you at the door." If she doesn't do that after I call her name about 5 times she comes out of hiding from whereever she is.

Tonight, none of the above happened. I searched her normal "hidey holes" and she wasn't there. I called her name numerous times and no answer.

Now the front door was closed when I got home and there were no windows that she could've got out of.

Now my front door does "pop-open" from time to time, if it isn't closed properly.

Now two things could've hapened. The door came open and Maggie got out and someone shut the door for me. Or, more unsettling, in a way, is that she has crossed over the "rainbow bridge" and her body is somewhere in the house. ;={

Anyone who has visited my lair knows I'm not the best of house keepers and I'm going to tear apart the house until I'm sure she is not here.

I don't know what would be worse; finding her body or not having her come back. At least with finding her body I would have closure and know that she is in a better place; though if I don't I can always believe she's in a happier home somewhere.

So this lion is with out his pride mate.

If she does not show up, one way or the other, I'm not getting another pussy cat. This lion couldn't take the stress of losing another pride mate. :={

Maggie is back. :=3

As I was fixing dinner I heard a familar meow at the front door.

I opened it and Maggie was just startingf to walk away (I guess she thought I wasn't home) and when she heard the door open she turned around and immediatly ran in the house.

I scooped her up and gave her a hug.

So my pride mate is safely back in my lair.

This lion is very, very happy.

Thanks for your kind thoughts.
