Esther finds the funniest places to curl up :)
And then there's Kerzon... When we came home from Long Beach in early July, we didn't see Kerzon for a week. We asked Emily, who housesat for us, if he had been hanging around regularly for her. She said she'd seen him everyday. We were very worried. I was prepared for Leo to die; he's thirteen, and has a horrible tumor on his head. (We have discussed putting him down, but are kind of hoping that nature will just take it's course because he truly hasn't seemed to be suffering. He's still very affectionate as he's always been, and eating and drinking normally. But his time is coming.) However, missing Kerzon was a constant stomach ache. We were so thankful one night when Gabe heard a familiar yowl on the front porch, and hurried outside to welcome our dear Kerzon home. He was very thirsty, so we assumed he's been locked in somewhere he didn't belong.
But now here in August, Kerzon has again been gone. This time it's been two weeks. Again, completely heart-wrenching. But again, Gabe found him outside as he went out in the dark to close up the barn for the night. No worse for wear, he's SO happy to be home :) We wonder if someone is trying to adopt him... Or he's turned into an Australian cat, going out for walk-abouts... Either way, it is teaching us to treasure our Kerzon even through the drool and shedding. :)
