Home at Last!

There I was, sunning myself in the window.

I was trying not to be stressed out.

It had been days since I'd seen Mom and Daddy.

Let me tell you, I had been so stressed that I did

things I should have gotten in trouble for.

I had also doubled up on my toys in my food bowl.

I was NOT happy.

Nothing against Sneaky Girl, but

she's just not Mom.

Then it happened.

At first, I thought I was hallucinating.

Then, as Mom approached, I realized it wasn't a dream.

Mom and Daddy were really home!

It took me a little while to recover from their absence.

However, after a little outdoor bird therapy I began to relax.

Mom and Daddy seemed to need time to relax too.

You can see in this photo that I'm still a little stressed.

You may also notice that there's a slight orange tint to my world.

That's because our state and all the states around us 

are on fire.

So the air is smokey and the sky looks like this:

Despite the lousy air quality,

I still managed to enjoy my outdoor time.

I also enjoyed my indoor time.

After all, Monday came and went.

So all my humans were at my house socializing.

Things are back to normal.

And, have I mentioned?

I'm really happy to have Mom home.

She says that's she's not going to leave me

again for months.

I really hope she's telling the truth.
