I take my dog to daycare so she can play with other dogs and I can clean the house. She is the kind of dog who sees a moving stick (mop or vacuum) and thinks it is play time, which usually means there are paw prints sliding over my clean floor and it dries that way.

With her safely playing, I felt free to open the doors and windows to allow the fresh air inside while I cleaned.

I hadn’t counted on the Puddin’ Tat.

After mopping the dining room floor, I looked up and noticed the screen door was open just a bit and the gray cat was outside the door.

The little fat head had used his claws on the screen to scooch it just enough to slip outside. I quickly scooped him up and carried him inside, then had to do a head count to make sure none of the others had escaped with him. I enlisted my son’s help.

Of course, he was then kind enough to show me that I could lock the screen door.

Doh!

Ah, well, I guess you do learn something new every day.

Until next time, stay healthy.
