He made it!! During the night, Lexi got
the basement door open and went down
to visit. He stayed in the closet, but
moved sometime during the night.
He (or Lexi the pig, LOL!) ate all the dry food -
maybe touched the water bowl I put down...
I put in an extra disposable box this am...
He had gone into the crawl space/laundry area to hide.
He meowed at me, several times, I got a visual, but then
he hid. Although I opened the door up at 8 am and checked
frequently by 9:30 he'd not gone out. He'd stuck himself
in the crawl space and was hiding.
I left the basement door open a to let him out and
now I'm gulp at work. I will be going home to
close up the door round noon ish - that should give him
time to get his courage up to come out and go outside
if he wants, and come back inside too if he wants.
We had 3 to 4 inches, with sleet on top -
but that didn't stop Ms. Lexi from cavorting out side!!
I have fingers crossed he'll ***want*** to stay in
and NOT from fear but from sheer relief of being warm
and dry and unmolested (except by Ms. Lexi that is!!).
She seems to think he's this great entertainment value
or something!!
(And he saw her use the new disposable litter box,
right in front of him, so he *knows* what it is for.
And I put down some great canned chicken, which
was gone when next I checked at 9, so he got
it - or missy pig Lexi did. Either way, if he came
out that far, he was right at the open door - so
mayhap he chose to eat and stay in.)
His morning meows to me were so wonderful
- "yes Mom
here I am" "can I come out now?" "go away and leave
the door open, I'm gonna rest now"!!
I feel so happy and worried at the same time!!
