Chance : The Wait

I was very worried last Monday, Far Guy drove the car really close to the house, he almost had to carry Far Side out of the house. Far Side left in her jammies, I had to stay home..alone. I waited and waited, finally Far Guy came back without her, he said he didn't lose her, he just left her someplace. I hope he doesn't forget where her left her. I waited for her all night long, no sleeping in the bathroom or on the couch..I slept by the door. Her stuff is all here, her camera, her coat, her old lady bag that she is supposed to take with her everywhere in the summer because it has bee sting stuff in it. She is not supposed to leave without her bee sting stuff..it is a rule. She has a lot of rules. On Tuesday I waited, and waited finally she called and woke Far Guy up, she is usually up with me just before dawn, and then she goes back to sleep. She has weird sleeping habits but I love her anyway. I had to stay home, sure Far Guy played ball with me before he left, but things are just not the same around here. Far Guy must have remembered where she was, he took her camera and her old lady bag.. but no clothing..she must still be in her jammies! What?? He came back alone again, during a thunderstorm, no way do I have to water any trees or grass during a thunderstorm. I am fine under the step. Just fine. What?? "Let's go get her now Chance! " It is about time, I can run fearlessly through a storm.. lets go! I waited in the car a long time, Far Guy kept coming to check on me, maybe he can't find her, I could find her but I am on a leash. She might need me to pee on someones leg in the big old building, maybe even a couple of different people by now. Finally there she is! Looking great in her red Jammies! I get to kiss her, she tastes all salty. She says "Lets get the heck out of here and go home." We get to play ball as soon as she gets home, then she had to talk on that infernal phone..I had something to show her..I waited.. and waited..

Far Side you better look in here.

I have him trapped.

Could you let him out? I will just play with him, I promise.

Far Side would have got better photos, but she was laughing so hard, most of them ended up blurry. You will have to imagine the chipmunk flying through the air making his escape to a nearby tree ..followed by something black and white moving at the speed of light.

Far Side is much better, she still doesn't sleep all night, Far Guy says one of these days she is gonna crash and sleep for 24 hours..:)
