It is, after all, a Monday
[The Simple Gate Latch that may be Cat Friendly] [1] [2] Today began with the
realization that Holly the Incontinent Dog (which sounds like a show on the
Cartoon Network [3]) was missing; either some random person opened the gate
by mistake, or one of the local cats (perhaps even Spodie the Emotionally
Need Cat) perhaps pushed the latch open (The Simple Gate Latch that may be
Cat Friendly) [4] when jumping down from the fence (and I wouldn't put it
past Spodie—he doesn't really care much for Holly). Then around noon the
school called to say that the Younger was running a fever and needed to come
home. And around 2:30 pm the Older show up forgetting that he was supposed to
go to after-school care. And then later it transpired that the Older had
neglected to inform Spring [5] of a detention he earned last week (to be
served sometime this week).
It was a type of day that Monday's are famous for.
(and it turned out that Holly was found early this morning—in the late
afternoon a woman walking her dog came knocking on the door asking us if we
lost a dog. I then went and picked up Holly the Incontinent Dog from her
house).
