There has been something outside that has greatly intrigued Eddie (and I don't think it is the contractors.... ) Long story shorter....Don and I were outside last night. I had just decided to go in to start dinner. Don went in first and....Dartman went flying out the door and over the wall into the greenway.
Still in my gym clothes I went after him (I am not able to fit through the wrought iron fence and must go around it.) The greenway is thick with bushes and trees. Thick. And very steep. So I am sliding up and down....crashing through the underbush....crawling on the ground....imagining snakes and creepy creatures big enough to saddle....
I did meet more of the neighbors....since they thought I was a prowler I suppose (rather a loud one.)
After about an hour (by which time it was dark) I was covered in hives, could hardly breath, scratched on all my limbs....and still no Eddie. Oh, I could see him, but that was half the fun of it! (for him... )
While I cleaned up it was Don's turn to roam the jungle -- still no luck. I got out the turkey....I opened a can of tuna.
We decided to sit quietly and let him think we had gone to bed. Sure enough...I heard him cry...but we reacted too quickly and he was gone again.
I sat with the door open and about half an hour later he sauntered in. All dirty.
So Don is angry with him because there was no dinner after all of that and I am angry that I could hardly sleep last night.
Eddie is peacefully slumbering!
