Well there hasn't been much time for blogging recently but it feels right to mark Sally's first year of Bower life with a little message. Funny really, none of us had much faith that this day would actually come. There have been so many times when we have thought 'today is the day we go home without finding Sally.' Somehow, though, we have managed to find her every single time. Talk about cats and nine lives. Sally seems to have had many more than that already!
Take the other Sunday afternoon for example. I took her into our local woods and felt she needed letting off lead. (Usually my downfall). Sure enough she went AWOL again. I waited, I shouted, I whistled and time marched on. I had a phone call from someone wanting to know the size of a tool box, of all things mid Sally hunt and then I realised I needed to be in town to pick up my son and husband from a weekend's camp. What was I to do? In the end I had to dash home, get the car, pick up the guys and then we returned, fretful to the woods. The daylight was fading fast. We got to the area where I had lost her and shouted her name. Sure enough she appeared like a dot on the horizon, bounding towards us. Oh boy!!! Here's to Sally and to another chapter of adventures as we begin year 2 together.
