Missing!

Paul took some screens off the basement windows to clean them this weekend. Unaware, Michele opened one of the sliding windows about an inch wide. Unbeknown to us...Veto...
  1. sensing spring outside, forced the window open
  2. climbed into the window well
  3. crawled up the terraced steps
  4. forced himself through the opening between the ScapeWEL and its clear cover. (imagine theme music from "The Great Escape")

We couldn't find Veto. We went around the block numerous times...he was gone.

Sadness overcame us.

This morning, Paul made up a flyer to print at OfficeMax and put on telephone poles in the neighborhood. Then he went for one more walk around the block. On a neighbor's steps he saw a large orange cat huddled in a corner. It was Veto. Paul picked him up and brought him home. Veto is now safe (again). It was scary though. We have become very attached to our big furry cat.



Here is the flyer Paul made up (not needed anymore)...
...and probably a good thing because Paul can't spell "Maine"...
