Minnie is MISSING!!


The other day I get a message on my phone from a girl I could barely understand. I know that she says she found my cat but thats about it. The girl spoke so fast I could not tell what number she left me or where she said she was with my cat. I got the message close to 5 and called the missed number. Mary, from the Good Cheer on Whidbey Island, answered my call. Surprised, I said that I was calling because a girl called me from that number stating she found my cat. Mary said " Oh, yes. Those girls were in here HOURS ago!" She didn't know where the girls went or where my little Minnie went to. She gave me another number to call, the store next door to them, but no one answered. So I called the Good Cheer back but no one answered because it was five and they were out the door. Meanwhile, where is Minnie?

I call my Mother in Law because that is where Minnie and Allie are staying. Diana is shocked to hear that Minnie is missing. She just saw her and fed her. I tell her that Minnie was last seen at the Good Cheer which she lets me know is 2 miles from her house. We can not figure out how she got down there, or why she would go that way. It is down a long, long road and there is so much frolicking land she could have chosen to run off into. Why did Minnie choose to go to the best thrift store on Whidbey Island? Diana could not go investigate because Catie had the car in Seattle and the red truck is a broken down POC.

The next morning I call the Good Cheer back. A gentleman answers and I ask him if he knows anything about the cat. He replies that " Oh yes, he spent the night in the clothing store last night and was around but I don't know where he is right now." I clarify that its a she and her name is Minnie. He takes a look around for her but she has escaped. Great. I ask that if she shows up, please call me. I call Diana to let her know but now she is in Seattle and helping Catie move. I don't hear from the Good Cheer all day.

Today I call the Good Cheer and they have not seen her. We will go looking for her sweet self tomorrow.
